Over the past year, we've had this car into the Ford of Clermont Florida dealer 5 times about a leak. Whenever we have a storm, the back footwell fills with water. Their leak specialist has said he has found the source of the issue multiple times and after each "repair", we still have a leak. They've replaced the rubber around both side windows and they've asked us to have the front windshield replaced. Even with all of this work, we still have a leak. In the longer term, this could compromise the structural integrity of the car. I don't know what else to do beyond bringing the car back again. I am listing [XXX] as the date the "incident occurred" because this is the latest water breach. But, it's been happening over the past year.

An issue occurred with the passenger door latch. The passenger door of my vehicle unlatched to a secondary latching position at a speed of 70 mph, causing wind to rush in around the closed window and the door open indicator light and chime to activate. The door had been securely shut at a rest area 30 minutes prior to the incident. Although the subject of Customer Satisfaction Program 21N10, which requires the owner to pay a diagnostic fee to confirm an issue with the latches, Ford has not acknowledged this door latch issue via a safety recall.

Driver and passenger door unlatches at highway speeds. I have owned this vehicle for 10 months and this has happened once on the driver side door and several times on the passenger side door. The passenger side door unlatched at highway speeds twice within 30 minutes on the last occurrence.

The passenger side door comes open at low or high rate of speed. The driver side door does the same thing. My mustang is a convertible so when the doors come open or ajared it is very frightening. This happens on the interstate or in the country or in the city. It is very dangerous situation. This happens at all speeds.

Drivers side door opens randomly while driving on freeway.

Filed Jun 13, 2020 · Body · AR

This is a convertible and when the back windows are put down they will not go back up properly. Therefore rain gets in and ruins the carpets and interior. Causing mold and it to rust out. Even by hand adjustment they can not be properly seated back.. And this is everytime the top is put down.
