I was making a normal order delivery drop off going off my gps I came to a narrow road where no signs of a dip ahead. Came to a dip ahead that you couldn't tell it was a dip and I wasn't going no more than 11 TO13 miles when I was coming over it and my airbags busted out of my steering wheel hitting my hand and my arm leaving burn marks. I couldn't stay on the road so I waited 30 mins before I drove slowly back to my house cause then my tire started going low.

I bought my Mustang in 2001 and the paint on the roof of my car is rusting/cracking from the inside out. There are several of these forming I went to koons Ford of falls church and talked to john morris (703) 241-7298 ext 1500 which got in contact with a Ford rep ray risano and they stated that there is nothing that they can do because the car is past the 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. I have very detailed photographs if requested.

The paint is cracking and peeling all over the roof of my 2 1/2 year old Mustang. It started as one spot, now there is a large hole with rust underneath it. There are about 13 small cracks in the paint on the roof where it is peeling, and other spots on the hood and front bumper. I have been to my dealer 4-5 times to attempt repair and financial reimbursement, only to get the runaround. A Ford rep supposedly looked at it, after Ford offered to pay half the $400 estimate, but they have not made attempts to contact me. The dealer is mossy Ford in san diego, ca. I have discovered that Ford repainted my vehicle before selling it to me as "new". the thickness is 10mm on the paint; average is 3-4. a repainted car is obvious upon inspection of paint specialists. Rust from underneath the vehicle has "popped up" and cracked the paint coming from the inside.
