Replying to: mschmal (Dec 14, 2006 6:57 am)  that must be somebody's custom job, is my guess (could be photshopped, for all i know). I wonder how the tail works. looks like it still lifts like a regular trunklid, making the back space not nearly as useful as a real wagon. |

****** TO ANYONE THAT SUFFERS FROM ANY KIND OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEMS OR A MUSTY / MILDEW SMELL IN THEIR 2005-2007 MUSTANG **** These problems are more prevelant after it has rained or even after going through the car wash. Remove the passenger side sill plate cover and the kick panel (they just pull off). Pull the carpet back and check the floor, carpet and surrounding areas THOROUGHLY for water or dampness. Also check behind the smart junction box and wiring harness located under the kick panel. Carefully check the area under the junction box too (sharp edges). I have had to Lemon Law my 2005 Mustang Convertible because of a leak problem. There are sections between the dashboard, "A" pillar and firewall that have not been properly sealed. This allows water in and results in the junction box and wiring harness becoming water soaked. Obviously, electronics do not like water. Ford thinks that by sealing this MANUFACTURING defect the car is magically fixed. If your car has this leak now, didn't it leak from the time it left the factory ? How long did your car sit on Ford's shipping lot or the Ford dealership lot collecting water before this leak was found ? How long was water allowed to drip on this junction box and wiring harness. (In my case it was over a year. I only found it because I made a mistake and left my normally "garage kept" Mustang in the rain for 2 days. The 3" of water in the passenger side was kind of a give away.) *My selling dealership SWEARS they never had a water problem with the car while it was on their lot (you can stop laughing now). For 4+ months now my has car reeked of mildew, has mold growing in it, on warm days gets a layer of condensation on the inside of all the windows and still suffers from intermittent electrical problems (which the dealer just can't seem to find). Ford says the car is fixed, but the mildew smell is so bad even Ford dealerships will not take the car as a trade in because of suspected water damage. I no longer consider this car safe to drive as the electrical system has been water contaminated for an unknown period of time and I have no idea what safety equipment may have or may not have been affected. But somehow I really don't want to find out the hard way. Ford will not help you with this problem. Their attitude has been, "yeah we didn't seal a seam, but it's sealed now so the car is ALL BETTER". Then they send you on your way. I don't know about you, but on the sticker I didn't see anything about "comes with passenger side that may or may not leak". It's not what I paid for. Current owners just be aware this is something to check when you have any kind of electrical problems. (Search the internet for "2005-2007 Mustang water leaks" you will find that this is NOT an isolated incident. There are starting to be numerous reports of this problem.) In case you didn't know, when you bought your Mustang  you got a Ford taillight warranty. Once they can't see your taillights anymore the warranty is over.

 Um ... go ahead and try to switch a repairing dealership in Southern NY. Once the laughing dies down, you'll be informed that anything the first dealership touched the second dealership won't even help you with. That is IF they even agree to let you make an appointment. They don't want to hurt their "FIX IT RIGHT" rating. That was what I was told by the Service Manager.(Don't wanna miss out on any of that prime "Blue Oval" money by making their dealership look bad because they couldn't fix one of their own products.) I took my car back to the dealership I bought it from and was told that because another dealership had worked on it, the car was going to have to be serviced at the other dealership from that point on. I was then told to get my car of their lot or they were going to call the police. That was from the dealership that sold me the car. How's that for customer relations ? Around here switching dealerships when you have a problem just doesn't happen. Yeah and I tried explaining that to the wonderful Ford Customer Care Representatives .... I was told that "It's up to the dealerships discretion." What kinda crap is that ? So I guess it's now acceptable for Ford dealerships to pick what they want to service and what they won't service. Ford Customer Care aka "You're a Ford Customer, We Got Your Money, Now We Don't Care" Ford Customer Care 800# ? I'm convinced it actually connects you to dial a joke. |
