What owners say
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. It appears the tsb requires replacement of existing non wear parts with newly designed parts suggesting this is a manufacturers design related issue. The repair cost me $716.00 in total. I have great difficulty paying this to correct a design related defect which made my car unfit for use due to water leaking near the electrical box, a mold smell and one driver being an asthmatic. I asked ford for relief with my expenses. My request was denied. I am of the opinion a recall is appropriate and request an investigation.
Water leaking under dash on passenger side of my ford mustang gt 2006 model. It has progressivly over time gotten worse. There should be a recall.
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.
Water leak, passenger side under dash. Dealer decline to repair because they could not reproduce leak.
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. The dealership has sealed the plastic wiper cowl, re-sealed a rubber grommet near the firewall, and they have replaced a seal over the passenger side door. According to other customers on mustangforums.com, there is a seam between the a-pillar and firewall that was not sealed properly at the factory. As I have experienced this problem 5 times now, I believe a lot more people probably have the same problem but don't know it because they have a garage.
