I HAVE A 2007 FORD MUSTANG WITH 8101.9 MILES. I ONLY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DURING WARM SEASONS. I NOTICE THIS SPRING THAT MY REAR WIDOWS IS PULLING AWAY FROM THE CONVERTIBLE TOP.I CALLED A WINDOW REPAIR SHOP FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A SIMPLE REPAIR AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE TOP WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE TOLD ME THAT DUE TO THE CONVERTIBLE TOP SHRINK OVER TIME THAT THE WINDOW PULLS AWAY FROM THE WINDOW. THEY STATED THAT FORDS HAS CORRECT THIS PROBLEM WITH NEAR MODELS THEN MINE TO STOP THIS ISSUE. HE TOLD ME TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE ON MY CAR IT WOULD COST $2000.00. I FIND THAT NOT FAIR THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOE THIS ISSUE SINCE ITS A DEFECT IN THE CONVERTIBLE TOP AND NOT MY FAULT. THIS ISSUE HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PRODUCT AND NOT MINE. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. SO BY THIS ISSUE DEALS WITH THE REAR WINDOW AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I AM REPORTING THIS DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. MY CAR WAS IN STORAGE AWAY FROM THE ELEMENTS AND THE TOP SHRUNK IN SIZE AND CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. *TR

BLISTERING OF THE PAINT AND PEELING OF THE PAINT ALL ALONG THE LIP OF THE ALUMINUM HOOD.

THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE HOOD HAS PAINT THAT IS BUBBLING UP AND AT CERTAIN POINTS THE PAINT HAS CHIPPED OFF TO REVEAL CORROSION AND WHAT LOOKS LIKE RUST.

THE STRIPES OVER THE TOP OF THE BODYWORK HAVE CORRODED AND THIS IS THE 2ND REPLACEMENT OF THEM. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THE MANUFACTURER, FORD AND ORCAL. THIS IS COMMON TO SHELBY GTS FROM 2007 AND AFFECTED CARS IN CALIFORNIA. THEY HAVE DECIDED TO NOT WARRANTY IT AND ARE FORCING OWNERS TO REPLACE. THIS IS A 5000 DOLLARS, IN SOME CASES, ISSUE. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED AND IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CARE OF THE VEHICLE. FOLLOWING THEIR INSTRUCTIONS, I HAD THE SAME RESULTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE INTERIOR DOOR PADDING AND LINING SEPARATED FROM THE DOOR. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF RAIN LATELY. WE PURCHASED THE CAR IN JANUARY. AFTER A HARD RAIN THE FLOOR BOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WOULD HAVE ABOUT 2 INCHES OF STINKY WATER STANDING. WHEN INVESTIGATING ON LINE I GUESS THIS IS A ISSUE WITH MOST MUSTANG OWNERS. IF YOU PARK WHERE ANY LEAVES OR DIRT CAN COLLECT IN THE FIREWALL UNDER THE WINDSHIELD. THERE ARE TWO RUBBER SEALS THAT GET PLUGGED WITH DIRT AND STUFF WHICH CAUSES THE FIRE WALL TO FILL WITH WATER AND BACK UP INTO THE CAR. IF YOU PULL THE PLUGS OUT CLEAN OUT THE DIRT THE WATER FLOWS OUT. THE FIRST TIME WE PULLED OUT THE PLUGS WE GOT ABOUT TWO GALLONS OF NASTY WATER THAT POURED INTO THE DRIVEWAY. WE CHECK IT EVERY COUPLE WEEKS NOW, AS LONG AS WE CLEAN PLUGS NO PROBLEM??? IS THERE A PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. WE HAD QUITE A SMELL IN THE CAR HAD TO HAVE IT DEEP CLEANED!! *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2007 FORD MUSTANG SHELBY GT WITH 15K MILES. THERE WERE 3 SPOTS ON THE HOOD WHERE PAINT HAD BUBBLED. A LOCAL BODY SHOP SAID THE PROBLEM WAS THAT STEEL RIVETS HAD BEEN USED TO SECURE THE HOOD PIN DISKS TO THE HOOD AND ONE SPOT AT THE AIR SCOOP; ALUMINUM RIVETS SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR IN SEPTEMBER AND DURING THE FIRST HARD RAIN MY FLOOR WAS COMPLETELY SOAKED WITH A PUDDLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. AND WHEN I WOULD DRIVE, YOU COULD HEAR THE WATER POURING ONTO THE FLOOR. NOW MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I WILL PUT IT DOWN AND THEN TRY TO PUT IT UP AND IT WILL KEEP GOING UP AND DOWN ON IT'S OWN. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER BUT HAVE SPOKEN TO MY MECHANIC ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HE IS RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN IT RAINS MY CAR IS LEAKING WATER BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX. CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT MY CAR HAD VERY LOW MILEAGE WHEN PURCHASED I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED.THEY EVEN DID A CAR FAX AND IT SHOWED NO PROBLEM BUT ACCORDING TO DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AS WELL AS WITH THE SHAKER 500 MY C.D. PLAYER STOPPED WORKING I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THESE REPAIRS FIXED AND NOT OUT OF MY POCKET.THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER IT WOULD RAIN, WATER WOULD LEAK FROM UNDER THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD, WHICH RESULTED TO AN ACCUMULATION OF WATER ON THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

WHEN ITS RAINING WATER POURS FROM UNDER THE GLOVE DEPARTMENT ON PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

MY 2007 FORD MUSTANG STARTED TO LEAK LAST YEAR 2011 EVERY TIME IT RAINS, WATER POURS FROM UNDER THE GLOVE BOX. YOU CAN BE DRIVING OR IN PARK AND THE WATER JUST CONTINUALLY RUNS. NOW MY MUSTANG HAS HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND REAKS OF MOLD AND THE CAR IS NOW COMPLETELY RUINED BECAUSE OF THIS LEAK. FORD WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS A RECALL SO WE ARE FORCED TO PAY BECAUSE IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY LONGER. THIS CAR IS NOW A LEMON BECAUSE FORD DID NOT BUILD THIS CAR CORRECTLY. THIS CAR IS NOT EVEN PAID OFF YET AND IS NOW CONSIDERED JUNK. FORD WILL NOT HELP US GET WHAT WE ARE PAYING FOR I DID NOT BUY A NEW CAR TO HAVE IT RUINED WITHIN FOUR YEARS BECAUSE IT WAS NOT BUILT CORRECTLY. *TR

PAINT ON HOOD AND RIGHT FRONT FENDER ARE BLISTERING AND BUBBLING DUE TO IRON CONTAMINATION CORROSION . THE FORD CORPORATION HAS KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2005 AND NEVER INFORMED THE CONSUMER. *TR

AFTER BEING IN HURRICANE IRENE MY CAR NOW GETS LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER IN THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT COMES IN FROM UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH. AFTER A LARGE RAIN FALL 11/28/2011 I HAVE APPROX. 3 TO 4 INCHES OF WATER STANDING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK. I HAVE CALLED FORD AND THEY HAVE BEEN NO HELP. *KB

I'M THE OWNER OF A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. I STARTED NOTICING PAINT BUBBLES ALONG THE FRONT EDGE AND UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD. I COME TO FIND OUT THAT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM NOT ONLY FOR SIMILAR MODEL YEAR MUSTANGS, BUT FOR OTHER FORD VEHICLES AS WELL. EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND CONTINUES TO DO NOTHING ABOUT. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE SITUATION IS TO REPLACE THE HOOD AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO COVER THE COST. FURTHERMORE, EVEN AFTER A NEW HOOD WAS INSTALLED, THIS ISSUE WOULD PROBABLY OCCUR AGAIN. VERY FRUSTRATING.

2007 FORD MUSTANG V6 HAS WATER LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH PASSENGER DASH. AFTER INSPECTION WATER WAS SEEN DRIPPING RAPIDLY FROM CLIMATE CONTROL FAN BOX ONTO EXPOSED ELECTRICAL WIRE CONNECTIONS. ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT RAINS AND WATER CAN BE HEARD SPLASHING WITHIN FAN BOX WHEN DRIVING. FORD ISSUED A TSB BUT WATER DRIPPING ON EXPOSED ELECTRIC CAN CAUSE RISK OF SHORT AND FIRE. *TR
