“I had water coming into the passenger compartment when washing my car causing damage to the carpet. Dealership advised a weld from the firewall to the a post on passenger side was not made at factory and gramits had been missing with no sign of them ever being installed. Ford is refusing to fix and states the issue is with in their tolerances. As a Ford customer owning a $55,000 show mustang this is not sitting well.”

“I wish to file a complaint for a 2006 Ford Mustang Gt that I own. I started to smell a musty odor around nov 2012. Shortly afterward, I noticed a significant water leak on the passenger side floor. I brought the car to a Ford dealership that went through the testing process to confirm there is a TSB relevant to my car. It cost me $146.00 to find TSB 08-26-7 applied to my vehicle. Further research revealed this history of water leaking has caused electrical problems on some cars in addition to the issues I experienced. …”

“I am experiencing a water leak in the passenger side floor board of my 2006 Ford Mustang Gt. I have had it to the dealer 4 times, and it still isn't fixed. I have searched online and have found several other people complaining about the exact same problem. Others have also experienced electrical problems because there is a fuse box located in the affected area. According to customer service, and the selling dealer, there are no known TSB's concerning this problem. …”

“A few weekends ago I purchased a very nice looking 06 Mustang Gt with 87,000 (apx) miles. Car had just been cleaned up very nicely and looked like a good deal. On the way home I took it through the car wash and came to discover why it had been so cleaned out. Water began pouring in under the passenger side glove compartment. Like a water fall. The water didn't stop until there was a good 4 inches on the floor. What a nightmare. The water smelled terrible. I smell a awful mold/mildew smell now that won't go away. There were small electrical issues at the time that seem to have cleared up... …”

“Whenever I get heavy rainfall or take my car to a car wash I experience the unpleasant situation of having my passenger side front of the vehicle fill up with water. The first time it happened I attributed it to a freak thing. The next few times I started doing alittle internet research and found alot of other people have the same thing. I have gone back to the dealer and contacted Ford motor company direct and still have no resolution to this problem. I feel that with so many people having this issue , Ford should step up to the plate and fix this problem. …”
