NHTSA Complaint #11055165 — 2005 FORD MUSTANG

I PURCHASED MY CAR NEW MARCH 1, 2005. I HAVE DONE ALL OF THE SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE THROUGH THE DEALER. IN 2011 - WATER POURING IN UNDER DASH FRONT PASSENGER FLOOR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND THE LEAK. I STARTED TO WET VACUUMING THE WATER OUT. THEN THE CAR STARTED TO SMELL LIKE MOLD. I FINALLY CALLED MY NEPHEW WHO WORKS FOR FORD IN ANOTHER CITY. HE CLEANED OUT THE DRAIN IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIED OUT THE CAR. WHY DIDN'T THE MECHANIC AT LANDMARK KNOW ABOUT THE DRAIN? AROUND THIS TIME THE CAR STARTED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK ITSELF WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. CALLED DEALER NO HELP. CALLED NEPHEW HE SAID WIRING ISSUE. THE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING STOPPED. SINCE THEN THE LOCKS TRY TO RELOCK ANYTIME I ACCELERATED FROM A FULL STOP. I HAVE FOUND MY WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN. I NEVER LEAVE MY WINDOWS DOWN. I AM A BIG STICKLER WHEN IT COMES TO LOCKING MY CAR UP AND I DON'T LEAVE MY WINDOWS DOWN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS LAST WEEK. NEXT CAME THE TRUNK. IT WOULD UNLOCK WHILE I WAS DRIVING. FINALLY REMOVED THE FUSE TO MAKE IT STOP. THE NEXT FAIL WAS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. NOTHING WORKS RIGHT. SPORADICALLY THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS BUT CAN STOP ANY TIME. LUCKILY THE ODOMETER WORKS SO I USE THE TRIP METER TO KNOW WHEN TO GET GAS. RIGHT NOW MY CAR LIES DEAD IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE CD CHANGER STARTED SHUFFLING CD'S WHEN THE CAR WAS RUNNING OR PARKED. PROBLEM WAS IT HAD NOT BEEN TURNED ON. I HAVE ON OCCASION SMELLED SMOKE IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. FROM RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, EVIDENTLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHORTING OUT DUE TO WATER GETTING INTO THE FUSE BOX DUE TO THE DRAIN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY CAR ONLY HAS 107000 MILES ON IT. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAS KNOW. THEY NEED TO MAKE IT RIGHT. OH AND TO TOP IT OFF, I TOOK IT TO A FORD SPECIALIST AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR. $370 LATER MY CAR IS STILL DEAD.
