Some Ford C-Max owners report experiencing water leaking into the passenger footwell, resulting in a soaked interior. This issue may stem from a faulty pollen filter, which is a common culprit for water entering the cabin. Additionally, some models have poor design in the plastic cowling tray at the base of the windscreen, allowing rainwater to infiltrate the footwell. To mitigate this problem, some owners have found success by inspecting for cracks in the bulkhead near the sealed area on the left side after removing the glove box and associated plastic components. In certain cases, garages have employed silicone sealant, replaced panels, conducted diagnostic tests, and dried the carpets to resolve the issue of saturated footwells.
