general problems of the 2008 Ford Mustang

Water leak issue. When it rains, I get a lot of water on my passenger side floor that goes to the back, it's really bad. Is this a recall issue? I only had the car for a year.

There is a pin that hooks on to the master cylinder push rod and the pin connects to clutch pedal pin wears out and breaks at that weld while driving causing the function of fully engaging the clutch to fail there for there is no shifting I was driving down the road the other day and this particular part has failed making it hard for me to get the vehicle out of gear or into any gear.

Takata recall, my car's value is significantly reduced due to this defect and virtually unable to sell or trade in.

Takata recall received recall notice July 2016, has been over a year, Ford keeps saying they do not have parts to fix and just to wait, knowing the airbags are dangerous and could cause injury or death. No damage or death yet however afraid to operate vehicle.

When there is rain the water pours into the passenger side front floor area. This has happened with my 2008 and 2005 Ford Mustangs. The dealer checked the seals and they were fine. Driving or stationary. Street and highway. Straight or turning. Unknown.

My Mustang gt had a complete failure to the cars rear end after discovering a loud noise coming from the left rear at low and high speeds. There is no reason why a vehicle with 57000 road miles on it would have this type of a problem. This is a safety concern for anyone driving this year Mustang because it could very well create a terrible accident even death.

Paint bubbling up on hood.

When it rains water comes in through the the back window and floods the inside of car. Causes mold and produces a very bad smell. I have sealed it but it keeps coming undone.

Car would not go over 25mph or slip into 3rd gear. Took it to repair shop needs a new transmission . Car only has102665 miles .

I was driving my recently purchased 08 Mustang (least year) in the heavy rains we were having. To my utter dismay, it starts gushing, nor leaking, gushing in through what seemed to be under my passenger side dash. It flooded my front passenger floor side so bad, it went through to the back passeger seat floor board. I have "recently" found online, where numerous, numerous people are having the exact same problem with their Mustangs. Ford has been contacted and will do nothing to my knowledge as of the writing of this. I, like many others, am concerned of the damage it is doing to my car underneath the carpeting. I am concerned about rust in the body of my car underneath the carpet and what all wet carpet brings with it (I. E. Allergies, mold, smells, rust, decay)!!!!! I would think Ford would consider this a defect and make sure all of these cars on the roads with such defect, would be remedied. Also, my car was purchased from a fleet organization. Is there any way I can find out who they were? I don't think they kept up with recalls on this car because I ran a carfax and it did not show the dealer recall related items. I think it is really sad such a beautiful car "mustang", has these problems. I have been an avid retro Mustang fan, but my love for the car is beginning to fade due to Ford motor not taking responsibility.

Shorty after the warranty on the vehicle expired I noticed paint bubbles on the front lip of the hood. I was still two years away from paying off the vehicle. I brought the car to the dealership where they took photos and recommended a complete hood replacement. Ford refused to fund even a portion of the cost to fix the problem. Internet Mustang forums have multiple threads about this problem. Apparently it began with model year 2004. I contacted Ford directly and was told they would not help me. I contacted the massachusetts attorney general's office. They contacted Ford and Ford refused to talk to them about the problem. They they sent me and the mass ag a letter stating that they would not help and they would not talk to us about the problem anymore. The problem continued to progress throughout the entire hood. I was recently forced to purchase an aftermarket hood because the paint was gone from several sections of the stock hood. I attempted to purchase a new stock hood but the dealership said that the problem would probably happen again on the new hood.

The soft convertible top on my car is dry rotted and falling apart. It is a tan top. I thought it was just mine, however since this, I have noticed almost every single tan top I have seen, even on the newer cars, are the same as mine and are peeling all along the edges. They are falling apart period. There are so many things that are obviously dealer defects that should be recalled it is pathetic. The trunk screws that are supposed to hold the liners down, fall apart and come lose. Nothing you do can hold them in place. Way too many issues to list right now. I just wish Ford would step up and take responsibility for these items and make them right. These are beautiful cars and I love mine, I just hate that it is put together crappy and sloppily.

My driving and passanger side leaks and fluds and my driving door also gets water inside . . . . My car isn't crashed from any of those side or hasn't been crashed.
