Description of the problem	Purchased 2004 ford f-150 supercab 4x2 at hub city ford inc in crestview, florida on november 15, 2004. After heavy rains the pickup cab flooded, covering the rear seat back, bench, and carpeting in large puddles. Upon further inspection, noticed the brake pedal rod, steering column, and all bare metal was severely rusted. *ak took vehicle to the dealership and was told that it was "normal" and would be painted, and detailed to clean the carpets. Was also informed immediately that the cause of the leak was a faulty seal around the top cab rear brake light. Appointment was made for tuesday november 30th, 2004. Inspected the cab further on sunday (today) november 28th, 2004. Rust is covering all exposed metal, including the seat brackets (which hold the seats to the frame) all bolts, and most of the rear cab metal behind the rear seats.
