The "well" underneath the windshield became clogged with debris, causing water to back up through the A/C vents into the car, damaging the electrical equipment. There are no instructions in the manual related to servicing this part of the car. Additionally, the door handles can become "stuck" in the open position without the driver noticing because the door still closes; however, the doors may come back open when the vehicle is operated.

I have receive numerous "re call" letters from "ford'. I finally made time to take my car in to my local dealer ,because my recall was about my airbags. Little did I know that my local dealer was gonna break my dash to where now I cant park outside because when it rains , my car gets soaked from the broken dash. I tried taking it back and all they said was that they were gonna check it but that they didnt do anything to it.after sitting all day outside my local dealer they have the nerve to charge me $$$$ for checking it. Which by the way they said they couldnt replace my recall.now every time I receive these letters makes me believe that is a scam from my local deal( ford). Please tell me where do you have honest people (ford company ) that I can take this recall to?

Front hood bubbling from contaminated welds at factory. This problem seems to be very common and devalues the car considerably.

My son-in-law bought a used mustang convertible for his son. I had the car inspected and fluids changed as soon as I could and during the time on the rack, it was noticed that the frame stiffeners on both side showed severe rust to the point one was rusted completely through. The stiffener has an opening in the front that accumulates water, salt and road slop over time, but no method to let this member flush itself or be cleaned on the inside. The shop installed two new stiffeners with the same problem, but they closed the front opening entrance to the stiffener with a sealant and gave the bare metal exterior two coats of corrosion resistant paint.

I came to a stop, looked to my left. Saw no car , and proceeded to leave to make a left. Car struck me on the left fender. Heard a long sound with white smoke all in the car that came from air bag, my face was struck so hard by the air bag that it made a large bump on forehead and eyes black in blue swollen with a headache that I've had for some days now. I've had to miss work all week, it also made me neck n side hurt.

Paint is bubbling and chipping on top of hood and underneath from poor design. Water has no place to go resulting in corrosion to paint.

The paint on the front lip of the hood has been bubbling up and the dealership (kearny mesa ford, sunroad) said that the primer was not applied correctly when the car was assembled at the plant. Therefore, the hood is rusting through and considered a 'cancer' to the car.
