WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE LESS THAN A MILE FROM MY HOME NOTICED I HAD NO AIR WHEN I HIT THE AC BUTTON AS IT WAS VERY WARM DAY THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY IN THE LAST 2 YEARS , SO I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AND THE AIR AND A/C BEGAN WORKING. I TOOK INTO FORD WHEN CAR WAS STILL UNDER THE 3 YEAR 36000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING SINCE IT WAS NO OCCURRING AT THAT TIME. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH WINDOWS FOGGING UP WHILE DRIVING AFTER JUST STARTING THE VEHICLE SINCE OWNING IT. THIS CAR ALSO HAS A DEFECTIVE CLEAR COAT FINISH ON THE BACK OF VEHICLE TRUNK AREA. THE CLEAR COAT ON THE BLACK PANEL OF THE TRUNK IS PEELING OFF THIS CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THE CLEARCOAT IS PEELING OFF AS BADLY IS IT IS. I AM EMBARRASSED TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH THE CLEARCOAT PEELING OFF THE WAY IT IS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AT ALL. I HAVE OWNED FORD VEHICLES MY WHOLE LIFE AND AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE QUALITY OF THIS MUSTANG(WHICH I HAD TO SAVE MY MONEY FOUR 4 YEARS BEFORE I COULD BUY ONE) I HAD A 1995 MUSTANG GT FOR 13 YEARS NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE PAINT ON IT. I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT FORD BUT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD VEHICLE AGAIN. I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE THE FINISH IS PEELING OFF ON A 4 YR OLD VEHICLE. I AM ALSO VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE FACT THAT I HAD TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF WITH DEFECTIVE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY REPLACED IT. I HAD TO REDUCE MY DRIVING UNTIL IT WAS REPLACED ALMOST A YEAR AND A HALF AFTER RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE.
