VISIBILITY/WIPER
NOTICED ONE DAY THAT MY REAR WINDOW WHAT FOGGY LOOKING WHILE DRIVING TO THE POINT YOU CAN NOT MAKE OUT SHAPES OR OBJECTS. CLEANED THE VEHICLE THINKING IT WAS DIRTY BUT NOT IN THIS CASE. HAD IT LOOKED AT AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DISTORTED FROM BAD MATERIAL OR NOT PUT TOGETHER RIGHT. IT IS STILL A FACTORY WINDOW AND FORD REFUSES TO DO NOTHING WITH IT. NOW I AM HAVING AC PROBLEMS, WARM AIR BLOWING ON THE DRIVER AND SEMI COOL AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. HAD FREON PUT IN TWICE AND AFTER A FEW WEEKS DOES THE SAME THING AGAIN. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, AIR BAGS
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN WHEN MY ACCELERATOR STARTED TO STICK AND FLOOR IT, BRAKES WERE DOING NOTHING SO I THREW IT INTO NEUTRAL AND EVENTUALLY WITH MUCH EFFORT WE CAME TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR STUCK THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ALSO TURNED ON THE LIGHT SAYING IT TURNED OFF. WHEN FINALLY STOP AND THE CAR OFF THE ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK TO THE GROUND AND IT TOOK A FEW TRIES TO GET THE CAR TO TURN ON. VERY DANGEROUS AND HAS NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE. *TR

AT 64,700 MILES MY RT. AND LEFT BALL JOINTS AND SUSPENSION ARM WERE FOUND TO BE LOOSE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER INVESTIGATING ON GOOGLE FOR BALL JOINT FAILURE FOR MUSTANGS I FOUND THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE WERE EXPRESSING THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT THEIR MUSTANGS, PARTICULARLY THE NEWER MODELS SALE DURING 2004-2007. *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

SUSPENSION
I OWN A 2007 MUSTANG GT. IT HAS LESS THAN 15 THOUSAND MILES ON IT. IT HAS FAILED INSPECTION (12/22/11) DUE TO THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT BEING WORN OUT. THE CAR IS PULLING AND HAS A THUMPING NOISE. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY E-MAILED ME THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: IN THE FUTURE, WHEN THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) RELEASE A RECALL/CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM ON THIS PARTICULAR COMPONENT, YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A REFUND IF YOU ALREADY HAD THE REPAIRS COMPLETED AND IF NOT, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE THE REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE NHTSA IS THE FEDERAL AGENCY WHO IS RESPONSIBLE TO REVIEW THIS KIND OF PROGRAMS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING EASTBOUND ON THE 91 FREEWAY IN CALIFORNIA. I WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THE ACCELERATOR REVVED UP AND INCREASED MY SPEED TO OVER 90 MILES PER HOUR WHICH I HAD NO CONTROL OF. I REALIZED THAT THE ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK AND PUT MY CAR INTO NEUTRAL. I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY WITH THE HELP OF A DIRT FIELD WITHOUT DOING THIS I WOULD HAVE CRASHED AND EITHER BEEN KILLED OR I WOULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. I CONTACTED FORD CORPORATION ABOUT MY PROBLEM AND THEY INSISTED THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE HEARD OF A MUSTANG DOING THIS. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND APPARENTLY THIS IS HAPPENING ALOT WITH THE MUSTANG. MY CAR HAS ONLY 33,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

HORN STOPPED WORKING APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS BEFORE DIAGNOSIS. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED A WATER INTRUSION THAT DAMAGED THE MAIN WIRING LOOM AND SMART JUNCTION BOX. IT WAS DETERMINED THE WATER INTRUSION WAS A RESULT OF LOOSE GROMMETS AND/OR SEALER SKIPS AROUND THE COWL AREA, LOOSE A-PILLAR WINDOW WEATHER STRIPPING RETAINER, MISALIGNED BODY HARNESS GROMMET THROUGH THE FIREWALL OR MISALIGNED BODY HARNESS GROMMET FROM THE PASSENGER DOOR AS PER TSB 08 26 7 AND TSB 07-14-06. TOTAL COST FOR THE REPAIR WAS $3,839.44 JUST TO FIX A HORN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
DAY AFTER A RAIN A RAIN STORM HEARD WATER DRIPPING THEN I WAS GOING UP A SMALL HILL AND I HEARD WATER POURING. I LOOKED OVER AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AND SAW WATER FLOWING IN BY THE GLOVE BOX. I PULLED OVER AND SAW ABOUT 3 INCHES OF WATER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. DROPPED CAR OFF 5 MIN LATER AS DEALER SHIP IS ON MY WAY TO WORK FOUND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SEAL LEAKING REPLACED AT COST OF 320$ BECAUSE CAR WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY BUT MILES ARE ONLY 35250 MILES. NOW MY SHAKER 500 AUDIO WON'T RECOGNIZE AUX AUDIO. GOING TO BRING BACK AND COMPLAIN. I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AFTER SOME RESEARCH AND THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT IT. I THINK THIS PROBLEM IS BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE IN THE DOOR DESIGN WITH THE SHORT DROP WINDOW AND NO FULL FRAME AROUND THE WINDOW. WHAT MAKES THIS WORSE FOR ME IS MY BROTHER HAS A 1988 MUSTANG X POLICE CAR THAT HAS ORIGINAL SEALS AND WEATHER STRIPING AND HAS NEVER HAD A PROBLEM AT OVER 100,000 MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY THREE YEARS LATER. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR WOULD BLINK VERY RAPIDLY WHENEVER A TURN SIGNAL WAS ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CABLES WHICH CONTROL THE REAR LIGHTS WERE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY WOULD DRAIN VERY RAPIDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND A LARGE BATTERY WAS INSTALLED AS A REPLACEMENT, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT WATER WAS LEAKING IN THROUGH THE FIREWALL. AS A RESULT, THIS WAS THE SOURCE OF ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,800.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FLUID
I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY INTO A REST STOP AREA. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, AND ONLY ON THE BRAKE. I STOPPED IN A PARKING SPACE AND MOVED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LEVER FROM DRIVE TO PARK. THE RPM INSTANTLY INCREASED FROM APPROXIMATELY 600 RPM IN DRIVE TO APPROXIMATELY 6000 RPM IN PARK. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND GAVE THE GAS PEDAL A QUICK TAP. THE RPM RETURNED TO NORMAL, ABOUT 750 RPM IN PARK. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE CAR, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY CONTACTED FORD, WHO MAINTAINED THE INCIDENT COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED THE WAY I DESCRIBED IT. THEY FURTHER TOLD THE DEALERSHIP NOT TO PERFORM ANY REPAIRS UNLESS A SIMILAR INCIDENT RECURRED. THE DEALERSHIP THINKS THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE FLY BY WIRE, THROTTLE BODY AND/OR CONTROL OF THE FLOW SYSTEM. *TR THE CONSUMER HAD CONCERNS ABOUT BRAKE FLUID. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATED TO USE DOT 3 BRAKE FLUID. HOWEVER, THE DEALER USED DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID. UPDATED 11/09/15. *JB

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WENT TO DRIVE MY 3 AND A HALF YEAR OLD MUSTANG TO WORK THE OTHER DAY AFTER A BIG RAINSTORM. NOTICED A MUSTY MOLD SMELL BUT ASSUMED IT WAS NOTHING. AS I DROVE MY CAR UP MY DRIVEWAY, (A SLIGHT INCLINE) GALLONS OF WATER SPILLED OUT FROM UNDER THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX. USED A CARPET EXTRACTOR TO VACUUM UP OVER 2 GALLONS OF WATER (NO KIDDING, EMPTIED 1 GALLON EXTRACTOR TANK 3 TIMES) BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAR NEEDED A REPAIR THAT WAS OUTLINED IN A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FROM FORD, BUT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR THE REPAIR -AND THAT THE GEM MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS THE WATER HAD POURED INTO AND DAMAGED IT. THE PRICE FOR THIS, NOT INCLUDING REPLACING THE RUINED CARPET AND PAD OR THE RUSTED SEAT MOUNTING BRACKETS WAS OVER $1100. IT SAYS RIGHT IN THE TSB FROM FORD THAT THIS ISSUE IS CAUSED BY GAPS IN THE SEALANT AROUND DRAINAGE GROMMETS INSIDE THE FIREWALL, YET SOMEHOW THIS IS THE CUSTOMERS PROBLEM??? RESEARCHING ONLINE I'VE ENCOUNTERED HUNDREDS OF HORROR STORIES FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE, BUT FORD HAS BEEN DENYING THIS SINCE AT LEAST 2005. (6 YEARS!!) THEY NEED TO BE FORCED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AS IT IS PAINFULLY OBVIOUS THAT THEY REFUSE TO DO SO VOLUNTARILY... THE 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE IS NOW A MOLDY HEALTH HAZARD AND I'M TOLD THAT IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BEGIN.THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING ME A FORUM TO VENT MY FRUSTRATIONS OVER MY "SWAMP BUGGY" AS I HAVE GOTTEN NO SATISFACTION ANYWHERE ELSE.
