“The rear defrost on my 2007 Mustang gt convertible is dangling from the rear window. It will not work or defrost, causing visibility problems. Had it repaired at dealership and it came loose again, they said I would have to replace the whole top to fix the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10359970, filed 2010-10, 37,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10464298, filed 2012-07, 24,000 miles“I had to make an emergency trip in my car in august in heavy rain on a mountain. As I traveled the wiper motor began to make a very loud & sickly noise. And the wipers' were functioning poorly or stopping completely. I made it to my destination having been able to get the wiper blades' to work again after they would stop & not work. Coming back home down a steep downgrade on a mountain the rain began to pour very hard & suddenly water starting pouring into the passenger floorboard & the windows' fogged & the wiper blades' stopped all together. I had 3 vehicles' behind me on a steep mountain. …”
NHTSA complaint #10483438, filed 2012-11, 5,560 miles“2007 manufacturing defect: extensive leaking of water into electrical components. Causing lights to go off,or sometimes go on without switching on, windows go up and down by themselves, occasionally motor cuts out on highway, cruise control operates intermittently. Eventually this will also result in premature structural damage.”
NHTSA complaint #10396554, filed 2011-04, 8,500 miles“2007 saleen Mustang,(Ford), no rear view. Back window is blocked by spoiler and back side windows are replaced at the factory with solid fiberglass. Backing up or changing lanes after glancing over either shoulder brings no visual help. This constitutes an enormous blind area and is very dangerous.”
