CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND AFTER A RAIN STORM I NOTICED THE PASSENGER FLOOR WAS SOAKED WITH WATER. WATER LEAKS IN FROM THE CABIN AIR FILTER AND DRIPS ONTO THE FUSE JUNCTION BOX ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. WHEN DRAIN HOLES IN COWL GETS CLOGGED WATER BUILDS UP AND THEN POURS IN THE CABIN FILTER THEN INTO PASSENGER SIDE FLOODING CARPET. AS WATER DRIPS DOWN IT MAKES CONTACT WITH THE F J B AND STARTS TO MESS WITH THE ELECTRICAL PARTS, IE POWER WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN BY THEMSELVES, DASH LIGHT WON'T SHUT OFF, RADIO WILL NOT TURN OFF AND CONVERTIBLE ROOF KEEPS TRYING TO GO UP AND DOWN. ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE AND REPROGRAM THE FJB BUT FORD NO LONGER MAKES THIS PART BECAUSE OF THE KNOWN ISSUES. I AM TOLD EITHER TO WAIT FOR REPLACEMENT UNIT TO BE DEVELOPED OR BUY A USED ONE AND HOPE IT WILL WORK EITHER WAY STILL HAVE TO PAY $400.00 FOR PART AND $250.00 FOR REPROGRAMMING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT IS BEING PASSED ONTO THE CONSUMER .THIS HAS HAPPENED TO NOT 1 BUT BOTH OF MY MUSTANGS 2005 AND 2007 , SAME STYLE WITH SAME PROBLEMS

THE 2007 MUSTANG PULLED OUT FROM THE SIDE-STREET IN FRONT OF AN OLDER CHEVY PICKUP AT A TEE INTERSECTION IN A SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD WITH VERY RESTRICTED SIGHT DISTANCE, AND WAS T-BONED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BY THE PICKUP TRAVELLING AT AROUND 35 MPH. THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE MUSTANG WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL/TIRE/SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY WAS RIPPED OFF THE CAR. THE POINT OF IMPACT WAS BETWEEN THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL AND THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE MUSTANG IS A ONE-OWNER CAR WHICH WAS BOUGHT NEW AND WAS SPECIFICALLY PURCHASED WITH SIDE AIRBAGS (AN OPTION ON 2007 MUSTANGS). THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED. THE AIRBAG TAB WAS VISIBLE ON THE SEAT SIDE BOLSTER. DESPITE THE SEVERITY OF THE IMPACT, THE SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. WE HAVE PHOTOS DOCUMENTING THE POSITIONING OF THE VEHICLES AND THE DAMAGE TO THE MUSTANG, INCLUDING SHOWING THE SIDE AIRBAG TAB AND SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT WITH THE SIDE AIRBAG OBVIOUSLY NOT DEPLOYED.

HESITATION IN GAS PEDAL/THROTTLE BODY. WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STOP THE CAR WILL NOT TAKE THE GAS UNTIL THE GAS PEDAL IS DOWN TO ABOUT HALF THROTTLE AT WHICH TIME IT WILL LUNGE AND I MUST LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL ONLY TO REPEAT THE PROCESS UNTIL THE SPEED REACHES ABOUT 30 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL, 2005-2014 FORD MUSTANG. I HAVE THREE OF THESE AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE PREVIOUS OWNERS SAY THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE MILEAGE WAS PRETTY LOW. HOW MANY MUST DIE OR BE INJURED BEFORE SOMEONE FORCES A RECALL FOR REPAIRS ON THESE VEHICLES?
AIRBAG SHOWS A FALSE WARNING LIGHT. THIS CAR IS CONFIRMED TO BE PART OF THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL BUT FORD DENIES THAT THIS PART OF THE CURRENT RECALL.

I ENDED UP HITTING 3 CARS ON THE LEFT SIDE NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED NOR DID ANY OF THE SEATBELT LOCK SO THE ONLY THING I HAD TO STOP ME FROM HITTING MY HEAD AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TO PUT MY HANDS OUT IN FRONT OF ME ON THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN THE IMPACT HAPPEN IT WAS SO FIERCE THAT MY RIGHT HAND GAVE OUT AND WAS SNATCHED OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND I DAMAGED MY RIGHT ARM ON THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. STILL KIND OF HURTS AND I STILL HAVE SCARS.

THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT. THIS 2007 MUSTANG WAS REGISTERED IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN BUT WAS KEPT IN BONITA SPRINGS, FLORIDA CONTINUOUSLY FROM 2009 THROUGH 2013. MAINTENANCE WORK FOR THE MUSTANG WAS PROVIDED BY THE LOCAL FORD DEALER IN ESTERO, FLORIDA DURING THAT TIME. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN 8,698 MILES. OUR CONCERN IS THAT ONLY THOSE VEHICLE REGISTERED IN STATES SUCH AS FLORIDA ARE BEING COVERED FOR THIS VERY DANGEROUS AIR BAG PROBLEM. WE BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO AT LEAST VEHICLES USED IN THE AFFECTED STATES. *TR

I ALSO HAVE HAD OFF AND ON NUMBNESS IN MY RIGHT LITTLE FINGER WHICH I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS FROM SOMETHING IN MY SHOULDER OR SOMETHING IN MY NECK SINCE THE SURGERY.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
