2006 Ford Mustang GT body problems

There is bubbling in the paint in the tip of the hood which I have been told is corrosion on the exterior and interior. Ford will not take care of it saying it is out of warranty. This is a manufacturer's problem as there are many complaints and class action lawsuit pending.

Rug on front passenger side is very wet. Just forward of the seat, just inside of the door sill. Appears to be water, not coolant. Unknown source. Door rubber seals are fine, as are window channels, door drain slots are clear.

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... For now. An internet search revealed the drainage holes under the cowl were plugged and an investigation verified the problem. Clearing of the drainage holes took only a few minutes, but I fear the damage may be there and will cause serious issues in the future if the wires should ever rust. An electrical failure is scary. Electrical components control.. Well.. The entire car. Cruise control, windows, anti-lock brakes, air bags, etc. I'd hate my air bags to deploy while driving. And the mold in the carpet can't be healthy either. Ford needs to acknowledge this problem and repair these vehicles at no cost to the consumer. This is not only an inconvenience, but the electrical aspect of the situation makes this an extremely dangerous gamble. When this car is paid off, I'm getting a different summertime fun car, and it won't be another ford. Unless ford takes responsibility for the issue.

Lost function of brake lights, turn signals and flashers. Ford dealer in winston salem, nc said the drain below the windshield has stopped up and diverted the water via the wiring to the sjb thereby shorting it out. Had new sjb installed and water removed from passenger floor area. Took 2 days for carpeting to dry out. Cost was 610.38 plus the sjb. This situation could have caused an accident for not having brake lights or turn signals. It is now july 1, 2014 and the same part has failed again but without the water issue. The car is going back in the shop tomorrow. I hope I don't get rear ended on the way to parkway ford. Please address this issue with ford motor company. There are hundreds of issues involving the location of the sjb posted on the internet. There needs to be a recall before someone is killed, if they haven't been already.

I own a 2006 ford mustang gt - the paint on the hood has started to bubble. My for dealer said it's a common issue due to iron contamination of the aluminum panel. I take great care of my car and feel ford should pay to fix this problem.

Corrosion on hood in several places that continues to rapidly deteriorate. After research, located tsb put out by ford indicating the corrosion is as a result of iron contamination in aluminum prior to painting which clearly states that this is a manufacturer defect. Ford has refused to fix the issue even though it is clearly a negligence on the part of their manufacturing.
