My paint located near my hood pins is bubbling due to oxidation/rust mainly, from what I have read, is due to the wrong part. Ford or shelby have denied my multiple requests, even wiring warranty dates, to resolve this issue. Multiple 07-08 mustang shelby gt's have this same issue and neither company can provide a solution or deal with this issue. Please help us owners keep our cars nice without having to pay out of pocket and be covered under warranty. Thank you for your time.
2008 Ford Mustang body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The clear coat is bubbling/popping off on the hood and fenders.
After heavy rainfall, I found that there was water leaking in through dash behind the glove box on passenger side of my vehicle allowing water to build up in the passenger side floorboards/carpet. It was unknown originally where water was coming from but after most recent storm, while I was driving vehicle, water literally started falling in and on to floorboard directly from behind glove box, coming in at steady stream, soaking passenger side carpet/floor mat/jute. I have personally looked up this issue and found several complaints of other mustang owners dealing with same issue and mentioning that ford has produced a bulletin for this issue but not a recall.
Driving on interstate highway at 70 MPH in very high crosswind conditions when the hood began to vibrate wildly and the latch released. Secondary latch caught the hood before it completely flew up. I slammed the hood shut and was able to complete my trip but the high winds still made the hood shake and vibrate. Today there is no wind and I drove the car at interstate speeds with no vibration at all.
2008 ford mustang gt, purchased on 25 july 2008 purchased new vehicle on 25 july 2008. First water damage was on 5 sept 2008, the car held approx. 3 inches of rain water on passenger side. Dealership claimed that they found that the windshield was not properly sealed around the windshield wiper, however, my print out from them shows where they paid "mr. Vinyl" $125.00 for cleaning up the water damage. Ford dealership and ford customer relations denied my request for new interior carpet. This new vehicle has 1,900 miles on it. Again on 26 sept 08, the interior passenger floor of car filled with water. Today is 29 sept and I still do not have my vehicle back. I am concerned with future electrical problems which could occur from this. This defect could substantially impair the use, value, or safety of my vehicle and I am concerned with future problems that may occur from this..
