As the title states we have a water intrusion issue. Opened the rear hatch and got a shower. Closed and opened again and more water... I saw another thread about this so I'm wondering how common this is.

Make sure it isn't washer fluid. There have been leaks in the rear window washer system as well.

Your profile says GTPE, so probably not the taillight leak issue related to the TSB. Likely a leak through where the emblem mounts. Your dealer should be able to diagnose and fix it.

Well it wasn't the TSB???. Dealer had the car for over a week an could not find anything wrong. Had to wait for a "water specialist" who spent a whole 2 hours looking at it. picked up the car with no repairs done.

It happened to me too. Same place. The first time I opened the hatch, the water poured out for more than 5 seconds. I then closed the hatch and opened it again, at which time more water poured out for 2 or 3 seconds. ?????

Hi Mark! I can look into your Mach-E's leak concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your Mach-E's VIN?

Any solutions found to this water issue? I’ve had the same one happen to me just today. It was super rainy and out came a bunch of water just like the photo.

thanks

My local dealer said they have only 1 person working this problem, and they wouldn't give me an appointment until the end of this month. I'll post again on this thread after I get the car back from the dealer and find out where the outside leak is.

Any updated on this? My vehicle is at a dealer right now looking at this same issue. @Ford Motor Company. My dealer told me that they didn't see any issues with the way the water is draining. Is there anything out there about this issue that you know that I could share with my dealer?

Edit: I sent the dealer a video of the leak and they agreed, that it was NOT normal. So, I'll keep you all posted on what they find.

I finally got an appointment last spring, but my dealer couldn't re-create the problem. About a week after I picked up the car, the service guy called to say that they want to try something else, but I haven't been able to get back there all summer. I'll try again in a couple of weeks, and will let you know what happens then. There was a similar recall for the 2021 MME's, so you might go look at that one in the meantime.

I got my issue fixed here in Vienna, Austria. (I’m an American abroad) and the dealer here said that there was a weather stripping solution and it took 1/2 day to get it resolved. No fee!

if you request, I’ll go back and see if they can tell me more?
