NHTSA Complaint #10439717 — 2007 FORD MUSTANG

DAY AFTER A RAIN A RAIN STORM HEARD WATER DRIPPING THEN I WAS GOING UP A SMALL HILL AND I HEARD WATER POURING. I LOOKED OVER AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AND SAW WATER FLOWING IN BY THE GLOVE BOX. I PULLED OVER AND SAW ABOUT 3 INCHES OF WATER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. DROPPED CAR OFF 5 MIN LATER AS DEALER SHIP IS ON MY WAY TO WORK FOUND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SEAL LEAKING REPLACED AT COST OF 320$ BECAUSE CAR WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY BUT MILES ARE ONLY 35250 MILES. NOW MY SHAKER 500 AUDIO WON'T RECOGNIZE AUX AUDIO. GOING TO BRING BACK AND COMPLAIN. I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AFTER SOME RESEARCH AND THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT IT. I THINK THIS PROBLEM IS BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE IN THE DOOR DESIGN WITH THE SHORT DROP WINDOW AND NO FULL FRAME AROUND THE WINDOW. WHAT MAKES THIS WORSE FOR ME IS MY BROTHER HAS A 1988 MUSTANG X POLICE CAR THAT HAS ORIGINAL SEALS AND WEATHER STRIPING AND HAS NEVER HAD A PROBLEM AT OVER 100,000 MILES. *TR
