NHTSA Complaint #10494690 — 2008 FORD MUSTANG

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. *TR
