A complete failure of the electrical system due to a design flaw where a main electrical wire harness inside the firewall on the drivers side fills up with water over time and soaks the wire harness causing a complete failure of the car to operate. This leading to a breakdown in traffic and dangerous necessity to get out into traffic to escape electrical smoke.

Leaking water from inside of dash compartment and my carpet is all wet when it rains

- Mercedes, TX, USA

I have a 2007 Ford Mustang with 8101.9 miles. I only drive this vehicle during warm seasons. I notice this spring that my rear widows is pulling away from the convertible top.I called a window repair shop for what I thought was a simple repair and I was told that the entire top would have to be replaced. The told me that due to the convertible top shrink over time that the window pulls away from the window. They stated that Ford has correct this problem with near models then mine to stop this issue. He told me to repair this issue on my car it would cost $2000. I find that not fair that I would be responsible foe this issue since its a defect in the convertible top and not my fault. This issue happen because of the construction of this product and not mine. I contacted Ford Motor Company about this issue and they said they could not help me. So by this issue deals with the rear window and is a safety issue, I am reporting this defect in the vehicle. My car was in storage away from the elements and the top shrunk in size and caused this to happen.

Car was parked in my driveway and after a rain storm I noticed the passenger floor was soaked with water. Water leaks in from the cabin air filter and drips onto the fuse junction box on the passenger side of the car. When drain holes in cowl gets clogged water builds up and then pours in the cabin filter then into passenger side flooding carpet. As water drips down it makes contact with the F J B and starts to mess with the electrical parts, ie power windows go up and down by themselves, dash light won't shut off, radio will not turn off and convertible roof keeps trying to go up and down. Only fix is to replace and reprogram the fjb but Ford no longer makes this part because of the known issues. I am told either to wait for replacement unit to be developed or buy a used one and hope it will work either way still have to pay $400 for part and $250 for reprogramming. This is a known problem that is being passed onto the consumer.this has happened to not 1 but both of my Mustangs 2005 and 2007, same style with same problems

The 2007 Mustang pulled out from the side-street in front of an older Chevy pickup at a tee intersection in a Suburban neighborhood with very restricted sight distance, and was T-boned on the driver's side by the pickup travelling at around 35 mph. The driver's side of the Mustang was severely damaged to the extent that the left front wheel/tire/suspension assembly was ripped off the car. The point of impact was between the left front wheel and the middle of the driver's door. The Mustang is a one-owner car which was bought new and was specifically purchased with side airbags (an option on 2007 Mustangs). The vehicle has been well-maintained. The airbag tab was visible on the seat side bolster. Despite the severity of the impact, the side airbag did not deploy. We have photos documenting the positioning of the vehicles and the damage to the Mustang, including showing the side airbag tab and side of the driver's seat with the side airbag obviously not deployed. We believe that the side airbag was defective since it did not deploy. Note: The steering wheel airbag (subject to the takata recall but not yet replaced) did deploy correctly.

The stripes over the top of the bodywork have corroded and this is the 2nd replacement of them. This is a known issue for the manufacturer, Ford and orcal. This is common to shelby gts from 2007 and affected cars in California. They have decided to not warranty it and are forcing owners to replace. This is a 5000 dollars, in some cases, issue. This is the 2nd time I have had them replaced and it is a known issue and has nothing to do with the care of the vehicle. Following their instructions, I had the same results. I just relocated from san jose ca www.shelbyforums.com/forums/2nd-generation-shelby-Mustangs/9742-07-shelby-GT-stripes.html

I stopped at a stop sign, then made a right hand turn, my car started sliding on the ice in the street, I turned the wheels hard left to avoid a car parked on the street, then I believe I tried turning right to stay on the street, unfortunately I hit a tree with the right side of front bumper hard enough to push the wheel back about 2-3 feet. The air bag did not go off and the seatbelt allowed my chest to hit the steering wheeling causing a chest wall contusion and exacerbation of my low back pain (I had a Fusion of 2 discs with complications of cellulitis and osteomyelitis post-op), along with pain in my left hip replacement because my knee hit the dash. I also have had off and on numbness in my right little finger which I am not sure if it is from something in my shoulder or something in my neck since the surgery. I will have to let my doctor know this when I see him as a follow-up from the er. I also will be letting the doctor or N.P. I see at the pain clinic I go to of this fact. The er provider also said I had some degree of "whiplash". both the air bag and seat belt failed to protect me from injury. I have sent a email to Ford but am waiting for a response.

I'm the owner of a 2007 Ford Mustang. I started noticing paint bubbles along the front edge and underside of the hood. I come to find out that this a common problem not only for similar model year Mustangs, but for other Ford vehicles as well. Evidence suggests that Ford is aware of this problem and continues to do nothing about. I've been told that the only way to fix the situation is to replace the hood and that I would need to cover the cost. Furthermore, even after a new hood was installed, this issue would probably occur again. Very frustrating.

Paint on hood and right front fender are blistering and bubbling due to iron contamination corrosion. The Ford corporation has known of this problem since 2005 and never informed the consumer.

- Oviedo, FL, USA

The paint on the hood of the car has rusted off at not even 40,000 miles of owning the car. Ford does not take responsibility for their faulty paint. Their warranty only covers bumper to bumper, including paint, up to 36,000 miles. I have owned cars where the paint remained intact well over 200,000 miles.

- Bushkill, PA, USA

I purchased a used 2007 Ford Mustang shelby GT with 15K miles. There were 3 spots on the hood where paint had bubbled. A local body shop said the problem was that steel rivets had been used to secure the hood pin disks to the hood and one spot at the air scoop; aluminum rivets should have been used.

I just purchased this car in September and during the first hard rain my floor was completely soaked with a puddle on the passenger side floor. And when I would drive, you could hear the water pouring onto the floor. Now my passenger side window does not work properly. I will put it down and then try to put it up and it will keep going up and down on it's own. I have not taken the vehicle to a dealer but have spoken to my mechanic about the problem and he is researching the problem.
