Description of the problem | Water enters the engine compartment. The cowling below the windshield is a 2-piece unit with a "joint" in the middle, where water enters and forms on top of the engine and electrical components, which could cause the engine to stop. There is also a leak on the driver's side and flows on top of the fuse box and electrics. There is also a leak on the passenger side where water enters from the hood vent and goes onto the air intake and then can go into the engine. Many owners have contacted their dealers and nothing has been done to correct this problem. I have been trying since 2015. Several owners have had their alternators quit because of water and the engine has died while driving. For further information go to www. Promasterforum. Com under general discussion and do a search for water in engine compartment. Google also provides information. This is happening in europe a well and they have solved it with a drip pan, and/or other means of sealing the area. I also have a video of the leaking when it rains, but can't upload it.
