2006 Ford Mustang has a windshield vent leak problem, the problem is that the windshield rain vent becomes clogged and drips water into the passengers side kick panel were there is a computer control box the connection become corroded and causes electrical problems. Ford is aware of the problem but refuses to issue a recall to correct the problem. This is a safety issues as it one could cause a fire, two could cause the car to loose power and therefore controlled braking or steering, simply replacing the parts dose nothing to prevent the safety issue. I am told this is a problem with the 2005, 2006, and 2007 Mustangs.

This is really unbelievable [and yes this is yet another leak thread]. I have been hawking the entire leak issue, and a member here in a recent post has identified the smoking gun - clear proof that Ford is hiding a known leak problem with a band-aid. Many have asked and wondered why a piece of white foam exists over the electrical box (sjb) within their passenger compartment side kick panel. Well, in response to one of the threads here, one of our members has now posted this: "... in Ford's factory service manual under the section on replacing the electrical box...(sjb)... inside the passenger side kick panel, Ford refers to the foam sheet over the sjb as a "watershield" and cautions not to remove it when installing the new box..." if this is true, and it should be verified by someone with access to the manuals [which I do not have], here are the facts: Ford designs and builds a vehicle with an electrical box (sjb) located inside the passenger cabin of the vehicle. In fact, the sjb is nestled between the outer fender and the interior kick panel. But for some reason - clearly known to Ford - they find the need to include a foam "watershield" to protect the sjb from water infiltration. Certainly this is [xxx] product quality at its finest, but it would seem that it is far more. It would appear that it is proof positive for those with the problem to demand that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) force a recall of the vehicle if only enoughowners notified NHTSA accordingly [another topic/strategy discussed on these forums]. it's black and white. The SN197 leaks, and Ford has know about it for a long time, and has yet to take appropriate action. And no; a tsb does not qualify. The manufacturer is responsible for fixing the vehicle. Writing a checklist - to be used only when a owner complains about the problem - is not the same as fixing the problem.

1. trunk too high; back windows slope blind driver from street light reflection. 2. hood and windshield designed deny driver from seeing the curves coming on side angles. (causing vehicle ending up on curve) 3. ABS auto activate when vehicle going over pothole, causing slipping and driver cannot control the braking distance. 4. ac/heat fan auto activate without consent even when sitting on off. I have a V6, 2006 Mustang. The safety issue that I have is the fact that the design of the vehicle that jeopardizing the children under 3 feet tall.: their trunk are too high and the slanted mirror block visibility. At night time backing out is very hard and there are many blind spots. I have backed up into another car already due to the poor visibility and light reflection: Back window design with an angle that blind drivers when night light hits. The owner and I settled in cash. The front hood of the vehicle center line formed an upside down V-shape whereas it highest peak is in the middle and at night time driving it has limited my viewing ability: Ended up on two curve, because the ceiling height were too low.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford Mustang. While driving approximately 10 mph on wet road conditions, the vehicle came to a stop sign and then proceeded to accelerate. Suddenly, the contact heard water coming from the front passenger side of the vehicle. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and the driver observed that the passenger floor panel area and the glove compartment exhibited water leakage. The vehicle resumed normal operation to his residence. The following day, the engine failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the authorized dealer for diagnostic testing and they stated that the failure was contributed to an electrical shortage in the junction box. The technician stated that this was a manufacturer design flaw with the drainage. A fan was used to dry out the junction box; however, the electrical failures still persist. The exterior components that were inoperative consist of: Taillights, parking lights, emergency brake lights, turn signals, rear back up lights, and the low beams. The VIN was unknown. The failure and current mileages were 52,000.
