2006 Ford Mustang Gt

A FEW WEEKENDS AGO I PURCHASED A VERY NICE LOOKING 06 MUSTANG GT WITH 87,000 (APX) MILES. CAR HAD JUST BEEN CLEANED UP VERY NICELY AND LOOKED LIKE A GOOD DEAL. ON THE WAY HOME I TOOK IT THROUGH THE CAR WASH AND CAME TO DISCOVER WHY IT HAD BEEN SO CLEANED OUT. WATER BEGAN POURING IN UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. LIKE A WATER FALL. THE WATER DIDN'T STOP UNTIL THERE WAS A GOOD 4 INCHES ON THE FLOOR. WHAT A NIGHTMARE. THE WATER SMELLED TERRIBLE. I SMELL A AWFUL MOLD/MILDEW SMELL NOW THAT WON'T GO AWAY. THERE WERE SMALL ELECTRICAL ISSUES AT THE TIME THAT SEEM TO HAVE CLEARED UP... FOR NOW. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED THE DRAINAGE HOLES UNDER THE COWL WERE PLUGGED AND AN INVESTIGATION VERIFIED THE PROBLEM. CLEARING OF THE DRAINAGE HOLES TOOK ONLY A FEW MINUTES, BUT I FEAR THE DAMAGE MAY BE THERE AND WILL CAUSE SERIOUS ISSUES IN THE FUTURE IF THE WIRES SHOULD EVER RUST. AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE IS SCARY. ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS CONTROL.. WELL.. THE ENTIRE CAR. CRUISE CONTROL, WINDOWS, ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, AIR BAGS, ETC. I'D HATE MY AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING. AND THE MOLD IN THE CARPET CAN'T BE HEALTHY EITHER. FORD NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND REPAIR THESE VEHICLES AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. THIS IS NOT ONLY AN INCONVENIENCE, BUT THE ELECTRICAL ASPECT OF THE SITUATION MAKES THIS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS GAMBLE. WHEN THIS CAR IS PAID OFF, I'M GETTING A DIFFERENT SUMMERTIME FUN CAR, AND IT WON'T BE ANOTHER FORD. UNLESS FORD TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE. *TR

LOST FUNCTION OF BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS AND FLASHERS. FORD DEALER IN WINSTON SALEM, NC SAID THE DRAIN BELOW THE WINDSHIELD HAS STOPPED UP AND DIVERTED THE WATER VIA THE WIRING TO THE SJB THEREBY SHORTING IT OUT. HAD NEW SJB INSTALLED AND WATER REMOVED FROM PASSENGER FLOOR AREA. TOOK 2 DAYS FOR CARPETING TO DRY OUT. COST WAS 610.38 PLUS THE SJB. THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT FOR NOT HAVING BRAKE LIGHTS OR TURN SIGNALS. IT IS NOW JULY 1, 2014 AND THE SAME PART HAS FAILED AGAIN BUT WITHOUT THE WATER ISSUE. THE CAR IS GOING BACK IN THE SHOP TOMORROW. I HOPE I DON'T GET REAR ENDED ON THE WAY TO PARKWAY FORD. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF ISSUES INVOLVING THE LOCATION OF THE SJB POSTED ON THE INTERNET. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED, IF THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ALREADY. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. MY GAS PEDAL HAS GOTTEN STICK TO THE FLOOR AND WILL NOT LET UP UNLESS I SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAIT ABOUT 10 SECONDS THEN START IT UP AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE IF IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE THROTTLE BODY GETTING STUCK OPEN OR WHAT. IT'S PRETTY FRIGHTENING. I'M ALMOST SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE THE KIDS. *TR

HAPPENED 2 CONSECUTIVE DAYS. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 30-40 MILES PER HOUR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S LIKE THE CAR TOOK OFF AND BEGAN ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. BREAKING WOULD NOT REALLY SLOW IT DOWN. SHE WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO THROW THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TI SHIITE DOWN BUT THE VEHICLE KEPT REVVING. SHE HAD TO SHUT IT DOWN AND REMOVE THE KEY BEFORE IT WOULD STOP. IT'S SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS. IT HAPPENED TO ME A DAY EARLIER AT THE TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. HOPEFULLY TOO MANY PEOPLE DON'T GET KILLED BEFORE THE NHTSA TAKES ACTION. I SEE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR
