2017 Lemon
For the third time today, the oh crap handle on drivers side started leaking water when it rains. The previous two attempts to fix by dealer obviously didn’t work. Curious if anyone else is having this problem, remedies ?

Or cab clearance lights. You should also check under driver side flooring for moisture as well. If water is coming down the A pillar from the roof I would have a hard time believing it is stopping at the grab handle. Not sure this issue would qualify for lemon status yet.

Well the Lemon Law requires specific notification requirements to the manufacturer. It is not as easy as you think. MUST follow the process exactly. I have had two Fords one GM and one MB bought back but you HAVE to follow the EXACTprocess. The written requirement for notification to the manufacturer is in the Owner manual and it includes the specific contact information. Send it certified return receipt vis USPS!

Ford probably learned their lesson, but my 2010 F150 had the same leak and the water was coming from the CHMSL (Center High Mount Signal Light ... AKA: 3rd brake light). They issued a TSB and the replacement part was about $80. I merely replaced the weatherstripping myself. Do you see any discoloration in your headliner above the rear window? Sure sign of a CHMSL leak.

I have a 2017 F-250 crew cab no moon roof or clearance lights that would leak on the driver side handle when raining and when going through car wash. The fix was the dealer replacing the seal that runs from the front windshield to the back window across the top of the roof. This was replaced around 11,000 miles and hasn't leaked since. 21,000 miles now.
