Water leak issue. When it rains, I get a lot of water on my passenger side floor that goes to the back, it's really bad. Is this a recall issue? I only had the car for a year.

I was driving my recently purchased 08 mustang (least year) in the heavy rains we were having. To my utter dismay, it starts gushing, nor leaking, gushing in through what seemed to be under my passenger side dash. It flooded my front passenger floor side so bad, it went through to the back passenger seat floor board. I have "recently" found online, where numerous, numerous people are having the exact same problem with their mustangs. Ford has been contacted and will do nothing to my knowledge as of the writing of this. I, like many others, am concerned of the damage it is doing to my car underneath the carpeting. I am concerned about rust in the body of my car underneath the carpet and what all wet carpet brings with it (I.e. Allergies, mold, smells, rust, decay)!!!!! I would think ford would consider this a defect and make sure all of these cars on the roads with such defect, would be remedied. Also, my car was purchased from a fleet organization. Is there any way I can find out who they were? I don't think they kept up with recalls on this car because I ran a carfax and it did not show the dealer recall related items. I think it is really sad such a beautiful car "mustang", has these problems. I have been an avid retro mustang fan, but my love for the car is beginning to fade due to ford motor not taking responsibility.

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.
