general problems of the 2007 Ford Mustang

The vehicle has experienced repeated and ongoing electrical system failures, including chronic battery drain that causes the vehicle to fail to start, erratic hvac operation where controls do not function as intended, and persistent water intrusion into the doors and interior areas. The hvac malfunction has resulted in the inability to properly defrost or defog the windshield while driving, significantly impairing visibility and creating an immediate safety hazard. These issues appear consistent with failure or corrosion of the Smart junction box (sjb) or related electrical control components. Replacement Smart junction boxes are unavailable through both Ford and aftermarket sources, preventing proper repair of the defect. The electrical instability and water intrusion present a risk of sudden loss of vehicle operability, impaired visibility, and unpredictable electrical behavior while the vehicle is in motion, creating a safety risk to the driver, passengers, and others on the road. The issues are recurring and reproducible.

Im having a hard time with my car to get it started. It takes about a minute to start it. I took it to autozone to get it checked and they gave me the report issue the report shows: p0607 control module performance. Also I been having to refill coolant box more often I bealeive it has a leak. Iam very concerned its my only car and I have 2 kids that I have to drive to school and daycare.

Stafty.

Went to drive my 3 and a half year old Mustang to work the other day after a big rainstorm. Noticed a musty mold smell but assumed it was nothing. As I drove my car up my driveway, (a slight incline) gallons of water spilled out from under the dashboard on the passenger side behind the glove box. Used a carpet extractor to vacuum up over 2 gallons of water (no kidding, emptied 1 gallon extractor tank 3 times) brought the car to the dealership where it was purchased and was informed that the car needed a repair that was outlined in a technical service bullitin from Ford, but because my car was no longer under warranty, I would be responsible for paying for the repair -and that the gem module needed to be replaced as the water had poured into and damaged it. The price for this, not including replacing the ruined carpet and pad or the rusted seat mounting brackets was over $1100. It says right in the TSB from Ford that this issue is caused by gaps in the sealant around drainage grommets inside the firewall, yet somehow this is the customers problem??? researching online I've encountered hundreds of horror stories from other owners with the same issue, but Ford has been denying this since at least 2005. (6 years!!) they need to be forced to recall these vehicles as it is painfully obvious that they refuse to do so voluntarily. . . The 3 year old vehicle is now a moldy health hazzard and I'm told that it's just a matter of time before the electrical problems begin. Thank you for providing me a forum to vent my frustrations over my "swamp buggy" as I have gotten no satisfaction anywhere else. Sincerely, -john w. Dell.
