Brake Light problems of the 2017 Ford Escape

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Escape. The contact stated that the driver’s side brake light accumulated approximately 4 inches of water causing the light to fail to illuminate as needed. The passenger’s side brake light accumulated approximately 1 inch of water but was still able to illuminate as needed. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer where the contact was informed that the lighting assemblies needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was contacted; however, the contact was unable to reach a representative. The failure mileage was 115,000.

My wife and I purchased a 2017 Ford Escape, brand new, 6 months ago. We noticed that the brake light plastic cover was fogging over making it hard to see the brake light. After checking with our dealer, mac haik Ford, georgetown, texas, I was informed that this is normal. Normal? sounds more like a safety concern to me. I was also told that water leaking into the brake light unit was also �normal. � I can't imagine allowing water to collect inside an electrical item as important as a brake light and is very strange and very wrong! if it's fogging up now what will it look like a year from now or even two years. Ford motor company made a mistake and they need to replace this brake light unit! it's a safety issue and they know it. Joel atkeisson, leander, texas.
