NHTSA Complaint #10811765 — 2007 FORD MUSTANG

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 $400.00 FOR PART AND $250.00 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
