2006 Ford Mustang Structure

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, WATER LEAKED INTO THE VEHICLE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AND TRAVELED TO THE BACK SEAT AREA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE WINDOWS WERE ROLLED UP WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WATER MAY HAVE ENTERED INTO THE CABIN FROM THE SEAM WHERE THE HOOD MET THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. WILLARD'S SERVICE CENTER (4311 MAIN STREET, GRASONVILLE, MARYLAND 21638, (410) 827-7222) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE HEATER COIL ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

THERE IS BUBBLING IN THE PAINT IN THE TIP OF THE HOOD WHICH I HAVE BEEN TOLD IS CORROSION ON THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR. FORD WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF IT SAYING IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM AS THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS AND CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING.

MY PAINT ID BUBBLED ON MY HOOD AND IT'S UGLY, IT WAS MANUFACTURED THAT WAY AND I THINK THEY SHOULD FIX IT.

FRONT HOOD BUBBLING FROM CONTAMINATED WELDS AT FACTORY. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON AND DEVALUES THE CAR CONSIDERABLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HOOD AND LATCH WERE CORRODED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE RUST HAS SPREAD TO THE EDGES AROUND THE HOOD AND TOWARDS THE BACK NEAR THE WINDSHIELD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY SON-IN-LAW BOUGHT A USED MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE FOR HIS SON. I HAD THE CAR INSPECTED AND FLUIDS CHANGED AS SOON AS I COULD AND DURING THE TIME ON THE RACK, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE FRAME STIFFENERS ON BOTH SIDE SHOWED SEVERE RUST TO THE POINT ONE WAS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH. THE STIFFENER HAS AN OPENING IN THE FRONT THAT ACCUMULATES WATER, SALT AND ROAD SLOP OVER TIME, BUT NO METHOD TO LET THIS MEMBER FLUSH ITSELF OR BE CLEANED ON THE INSIDE. THE SHOP INSTALLED TWO NEW STIFFENERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THEY CLOSED THE FRONT OPENING ENTRANCE TO THE STIFFENER WITH A SEALANT AND GAVE THE BARE METAL EXTERIOR TWO COATS OF CORROSION RESISTANT PAINT. *TR

RUG ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE IS VERY WET. JUST FORWARD OF THE SEAT, JUST INSIDE OF THE DOOR SILL. APPEARS TO BE WATER, NOT COOLANT. UNKNOWN SOURCE. DOOR RUBBER SEALS ARE FINE, AS ARE WINDOW CHANNELS, DOOR DRAIN SLOTS ARE CLEAR. *TR

THE PAINT ON THE FRONT LIP OF THE HOOD IS BUBBLING. THIS WILL REDUCE ITS FUTURE VALUE. *TR

PAINT IS BUBBLING AND CHIPPING ON TOP OF HOOD AND UNDERNEATH FROM POOR DESIGN. WATER HAS NO PLACE TO GO RESULTING IN CORROSION TO PAINT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER CONTINUOUSLY LEAKED ONTO THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR FOUR YEARS. THE DEALER RESEALED THE COWL, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE PAINT ON THE FRONT LIP OF THE HOOD HAS BEEN BUBBLING UP AND THE DEALERSHIP (KEARNY MESA FORD, SUNROAD) SAID THAT THE PRIMER WAS NOT APPLIED CORRECTLY WHEN THE CAR WAS ASSEMBLED AT THE PLANT. THEREFORE, THE HOOD IS RUSTING THROUGH AND CONSIDERED A 'CANCER' TO THE CAR. *TR

I OWN A 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT - THE PAINT ON THE HOOD HAS STARTED TO BUBBLE. MY FOR DEALER SAID IT'S A COMMON ISSUE DUE TO IRON CONTAMINATION OF THE ALUMINUM PANEL. I TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY CAR AND FEEL FORD SHOULD PAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *JS

MY 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT HAD ONLY 14,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I NOTICED WHILE HAND WASHING MY MUSTANG THE HOOD HAD BUBBLES IN THE PAINT. THE ALUMINUM HOOD WAS SHOWING SIGNS OF CORROSION. MY MUSTANG IS IN MINT CONDITION (OTHER THAN THE CORROSION OF THE HOOD). MY MUSTANG HAS LESS THAN 20K ORIGINAL MILES, LIVES IN THE GARAGE AT HOME AND AT WORK. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON THE CAR, AND HOLDING THE MUSTANG TO BE A CLASSIC; WITHOUT A CORRODED HOOD! I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND TOLD THEM MY STORY. THEY (CUSTOMER SERVICES) TOLD ME THEY HAD NO COMPLAINTS AND NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE AND COULD NOT HELP ME, SINCE MY MUSTANG WAS WAY UNDER THE MILES LIMIT, BUT OVER THE YEARS. I ASKED FOR CORPORATE AND WAS DENIED THE CONTACT INFORMATION. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND LATER FOUND OUT THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY OUT AND OUT BOLD FACED LIED. THEY AT THAT TIME WERE BEING SUED, "MARCH 15, 2013 NYTIMES - JUDGE ALLOWS SUIT OVER ALUMINUM CORROSION IN FORDS TO MOVE FORWARD." GOOGLE, "FORD MUSTANG HOOD BUBBLE OR CORROSION" YOU PULL UP MANY COMPLAINTS. GOOGLE, "LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD MUSTANG HOOD", YOU PULL UP MANY COMPLAINTS. 89 FORD MUSTANG COMPLAINTS: HTTP://WWW.AUTOSAFETY.ORG/VIEWCOMPLAINTS/64/71/ALL/ALL/1. ON DECEMBER 27, 2004 FORD ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. ISSUE: SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A BUBBLING OR BLISTERING UNDER THE PAINT ON ALUMINUM BODY PARTS. THIS IS DUE TO IRON CONTAMINATION OF THE ALUMINUM PANEL. BACKGROUND: FORD'S SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH LABORATORY HAS PERFORMED A NUMBER OF TESTS ON VEHICLE BODY PARTS RETURNED FOR CORROSION RELATED CONCERNS. TESTING HAS REVEALED THAT THE ALUMINUM CORROSION WAS CAUSED BY IRON PARTICLES WORKING THEIR WAY INTO THE ALUMINUM BODY PART, PRIOR TO IT BEING PAINTED. FORD STILL DENIES THIS! ATTENTION FORD CORPORATE OR CUSTOMER SERVICE DO THE RIGHT THING HERE AND REPLACE THESE HOODS! *TR

PAINT BUBBLING ON HOOD, APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, AS I HAD SAME ISSUE ON MY 07. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED WAS DRIVING THROUGH A RAIN STORM, WHEN SHE NOTICED WATER SEEPING FROM THE DASH BOARD. AFTER REACHING HER DESTINATION, THE RADIO WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THE CONTACT DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AS A TEMPORARY REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE NOTICED CORROSION UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

BOUGHT CAR NEW IN 06, HOOD OXIDATION CAUSES PAINT TO FLAKE OFF HOODS. NOTIFIED DEALER IN 08 AND WAS TOLD IT'S NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR IT. SINCE LEARNED IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO IMPROPER TREATMENT OF ALUMINUM BEFORE PAINTING. *TR

CORROSION ON HOOD IN SEVERAL PLACES THAT CONTINUES TO RAPIDLY DETERIORATE. AFTER RESEARCH, LOCATED TSB PUT OUT BY FORD INDICATING THE CORROSION IS AS A RESULT OF IRON CONTAMINATION IN ALUMINUM PRIOR TO PAINTING WHICH CLEARLY STATES THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. FORD HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT IS CLEARLY A NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THEIR MANUFACTURING. *JB

I WISH TO FILE A COMPLAINT FOR A 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT THAT I OWN. I STARTED TO SMELL A MUSTY ODOR AROUND NOV 2012. SHORTLY AFTERWARD, I NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT WATER LEAK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THAT WENT THROUGH THE TESTING PROCESS TO CONFIRM THERE IS A TSB RELEVANT TO MY CAR. IT COST ME $146.00 TO FIND TSB 08-26-7 APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE. FURTHER RESEARCH REVEALED THIS HISTORY OF WATER LEAKING HAS CAUSED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ON SOME CARS IN ADDITION TO THE ISSUES I EXPERIENCED. IT APPEARS THE TSB REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING NON WEAR PARTS WITH NEWLY DESIGNED PARTS SUGGESTING THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DESIGN RELATED ISSUE. THE REPAIR COST ME $716.00 IN TOTAL. I HAVE GREAT DIFFICULTY PAYING THIS TO CORRECT A DESIGN RELATED DEFECT WHICH MADE MY CAR UNFIT FOR USE DUE TO WATER LEAKING NEAR THE ELECTRICAL BOX, A MOLD SMELL AND ONE DRIVER BEING AN ASTHMATIC. I ASKED FORD FOR RELIEF WITH MY EXPENSES. MY REQUEST WAS DENIED. I AM OF THE OPINION A RECALL IS APPROPRIATE AND REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION.

WHENEVER I GET HEAVY RAINFALL OR TAKE MY CAR TO A CAR WASH I EXPERIENCE THE UNPLEASANT SITUATION OF HAVING MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE FILL UP WITH WATER. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I ATTRIBUTED IT TO A FREAK THING. THE NEXT FEW TIMES I STARTED DOING ALITTLE INTERNET RESEARCH AND FOUND ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME THING. I HAVE GONE BACK TO THE DEALER AND CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY DIRECT AND STILL HAVE NO RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE , FORD SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. I SPENT ALOT OF MONEY FOR THE "CAR OF MY DREAMS" AND NOW HAVE TO SHOP VAC WATER OUT OF IT AND RIDE AROUND WITH THE RUG FOLDED OVER TO DRY OUT THE METAL AND RUG UNDERNEATH. MY FRIEND WHO ALSO OWNS A 2005 MUSTANG HAS TO RIDE AROUND WITH A POT ON HIS FLOOR TO CATCH THE WATER AS IT FLOWS IN! THIS IS A DISGRACE AS WELL AS A HEALTH HAZARD FROM BREATHING IN THE MOLD FUMES THAT THE WET RUG EMITS! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD MUSTANG GT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER IT WOULD RAIN, WATER WOULD LEAK INTO THE VEHICLE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE INTO THE REAR SEAT.

WATER LEAKING UNDER DASH ON PASSENGER SIDE OF MY FORD MUSTANG GT 2006 MODEL. IT HAS PROGRESSIVLY OVER TIME GOTTEN WORSE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

I HAVE 2006 MUSTANG GT, BROUGHT NEW AND THE PAINT ON THE HOOD IS FALLING OFF, I TOOK TO A FORD DEALER BODY SHOP, AND WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF $600.00 , TO REPAINT THE HOOD. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY ON THE PAINT IS ONLY GOOD FOR 36,000 MILES OR 3 YEARS. THE PAINT WAS NOT FALLING OFF AT 36,000 MILES, AND I THINK FORD SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME. *TR
