When driving my 2006 v6 Ford Mustang in the rain, pints of water began pouring into the passenger side in a stream. I stopped and tried to determine the source and could not.

There were grommets left off my car when it was manufactured and now my car is full of mold/mold spores, my grandson and I ride in the vehicle every day and for the past month my grandson and I have been sick and not known why. Evidently Ford knew this could be a problem, we took the car to a dealership and they said mold was in the padding of my car and would have to be dehumidified and sanitized, new padding and the carpet cleaned, I just hope it is all out. We ask for the article from Ford that states this problem could affect Mustangs from 2005-2008. I just wonder how many other people will have this type of problem and why it was not on recall, so this problem could have been prevented. I have just recently taken my car to the dealership, as we have just started smelling the mold, no telling how long it was there before. February 14 is the day we took the car to the dealership. Now I am afraid to drive the car due to the mold, and breathing the mold spores.

Stress fractures on forward face of rear spoiler attach struts (both mounts). Vehicle less then a month old with less then 600 miles. 2006 Ford Mustang gt. No apparent reason for cracks in composite spoiler. Cracks are not surface cracks (very deep) and do affect spoiler mount integrity. Fractures are located on the forward face / bottom of the struts, centered and starting at forward mount bolts and extending upward. Suspect spoiler attach nuts on studs, over torqued during factory installation. Multiple fissures extend over two inches on each strut and may result in spoiler detaching from trunk deck lid. Ford declined warranty repair, stating cracks were caused from "an outside source. " from personal experience in composites, as an aircraft mechanic, suspect stress fractures from mounting error, exposed via airflow over spoiler, creating a down force and over loading strut mounts. Two separate dealer service departments agreed that failure was caused by improper mounting of spoiler and not caused by owner. Ford warranty does not agree, but does agree that spoiler must be replaced if exhibiting these cracks as this may cause injury / damage to other persons / vehicles as spoiler may detach while vehicle in motion.
