“2005 Ford Mustang Gt purchased december of 2004. It has leaked continually on the passenger side every time it rains. The gem module has been soaked every time. Tail lights malfunction and I no longer have windshield wipers that work, so I cannot drive in the rain. The carpet has been replaced by my insurance company but Ford refuses to do anything about these leaks and the damage done to the electrical system.”
