enigma-2 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Not taking sides, but "external impact" could be more than another car bumping into yours. If could be a kid with a baseball bat or stone. It could be a shopping cart in a grocery parking lot (had a friend have this happen to him, wind blew a cart across lot and cracked his taillight, had store manager review on outside camera and was able to claim on insurance). What model & year do you own? Reason I ask is, 07-10 goes for $45 (free shipping) & 11-14 for $120 (free shipping) on Ebay. May be easier to bite the bullet and replace yourself. Item # 371660025470 for 07-10 Item # 161104912612 for 11-14 May not be exactly what you need, but a quick search should turn one up. Hope your able to find a cheap replacment.

2008explorer Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 I just washed my Edge today for the 2nd time [2 weeks old]. I noticed quite a bit of condensation on the inside of the tail light lenses, this doesn't seem like a good thing to me. Has anyone else noticed this ? I did see quite a few comments about this in another forum. Has Ford offered to do anything to fix this problem ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2008explorer Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) I may have answered my own question. I just looked in my Owners Manual on page 79, it mentions that very thing about condensation in exterior lamps. They claim that condensation is a natural occurrence, according to Ford a fine mist is acceptable. It's only when there is a puddle inside or there are streaks, drip marks or large droplets that they will then check it out. It seems that they already knew of this problem and went ahead and put a disclaimer in the manual, way to go Ford. I traded in a 2008 Explorer that never did any such thing. My wife has a 2010 Escape that also is condensation free. I can't remember any of my previous vehicles ever doing this. Yet Ford is saying this is a natural thing to have happen. I'm not feeling the love for Ford right now. Edited September 13, 2016 by 2008explorer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjm623 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 They're replacing the taillamp assemblies. Is this a recall? Where's that info from I haven't noticed any on mine or heard about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Not a recall, just a warranty replacement and a common problem on early build 2015s. Some condensation that goes away quickly is normal but in some cases it's excessive and requires a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjm623 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Ok, I was unaware, having a 16 could also be why I don't have an issue. Regardless thanks for info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2008explorer Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Tjm623, I also have a 2016, I'm the one that started this post, so you may yet see that condensation after washing ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrcold Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I was just driving behind an SEL (presumably a 2015) and the light bar portion of the tail lights was FULLY fogged up. The side parts of the tail lights didn't seem to have the problem. Wow I'll have to keep an eye on this, because I had a 2013 Subaru BRZ and tail light condensation was a HUGE problem with that vehicle (and they too had a disclaimer that it was a natural occurrence - yeah well many owners had huge puddles in their lights).

2008explorer Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 If you have a 2016 like I do, all the info about this problem is on page 79 of your owners manual, Ford has a way with words about this natural occurrence ?

I do have a 16, and have seen the manual. However I don't have this issue. It rained hard here today for 3 hours straight, when I left work I checked. Couldn't see a drop inside or any condensation(it had stopped raining that time). I've also never noticed it after doing a power wash type self wash station and drying car off after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrjr Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Mine usually fogs up a bit with temperature changes. If it is hot out and I wash it the light bar and tails will have some fogginess on the inside of the lenses... likewise during winter the exhaust will cause the tails to fog up if it idles long enough. Warm exhaust + chilly outside temp will result in foggy tails until they warm up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjm623 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 No condensation either, at least I haven't noticed it. One thing I can't stand is the lip on the trunk or spoiler I guess. It is impossible to wipe that window dry. Every time I think I have and boom another drip right down my clean window. It holds so much water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildbillpookers Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 I have a new 2016 took in home from the dealer and the next morning both outside tail lights had condensation in them! I live in Canada and it does get cold at night. No other lights just the two outside ones. (if the back door is open the two light that you see) I took photos and sent them to the dealer. They told me that when it gets bad, like water in them then and only then they can do something about it. They said it was normal? ( why only those lights and not the rest? So, now I to watch my tail lights if I want them replaced. 2016 Edge SEL AWD V6 Magnetic Metallic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Some condensation is normal but it should go away fairly quickly. If it stays all day or multiple days then it's a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Burdette Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Just wanted to bring this one back from the dead a bit. Wife and I just picked up a 2016 Edge Sport (last Thursday) and the right taillight has a ton of condensation in it. Dealer will replace. Ours was produced in late April 2016. I'm going to ask for the old part, but I doubt they'll give it to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanL Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Add another to the list. 2016 Titanium built late Feb '16. Lots of condensation in taillight. Only on right side. Some of the larger droplets ran inside the plastic. Dealer took pictures to send to ford for approval. Condensation worsened with each car wash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom648 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) I picked up my New 2016 Edge on Jan 12, 2017. Built Aug 16. Two Tail lights had condensation two days later on 1-14-17. Salesman said to keep track of it???? 5 days later the center light fogged. Edited January 24, 2017 by Tom648 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
