Water leak issue. When it rains, I get a lot of water on my passenger side floor that goes to the back, it's really bad. Is this a recall issue? I only had the car for a year.

Takata recall received recall notice July 2016, has been over a year, Ford keeps saying they do not have parts to fix and just to wait, knowing the airbags are dangerous and could cause injury or death. No damage or death yet however afraid to operate vehicle.

There is a pin that hooks on to the master cylinder push rod and the pin connects to clutch pedal pin wears out and breaks at that weld while driving causing the function of fully engaging the clutch to fail there for there is no shifting I was driving down the road the other day and this particular part has failed making it hard for me to get the vehicle out of gear or into any gear.

Takata recall, my car's value is significantly reduced due to this defect and virtually unable to sell or trade in.

problem #4

Mustang

  • 75,000 miles
The catalytic converter on the driver's side of the exhaust pipe has cracked and must be replaced at a cost of almost $1400. It seems a part so expensive should last more than 75000 miles, which is approximately what the car has on it now. No one can tell me why it would have cracked, but a couple of muffler shops have told me that they have seen many Ford catalytic converters crack for no apparent reason. This would seem to be a manufacturing defect.

When there is rain the water pours into the passenger side front floor area. This has happened with my 2008 and 2005 Ford Mustangs. The dealer checked the seals and they were fine. Driving or stationary. Street and highway. Straight or turning. Unknown.

When it rains water comes in through the the back window and floods the inside of car. Causes mold and produces a very bad smell. I have sealed it but it keeps coming undone.

problem #1

May 082015

Mustang

  • 57,000 miles
My Mustang GT had a complete failure to the cars rear end after discovering a loud noise coming from the left rear at low and high speeds. There is no reason why a vehicle with 57000 road miles on it would have this type of a problem. This is a safety concern for anyone driving this year Mustang because it could very well create a terrible accident even death.

- Bowie, MD, USA
