water leak problem on '06+ mustangs
 

hello all..
anyone familiar with this and is it a major problem on '06-07 cars?

thanks!

You will need to be more specific if you're looking for help... where? leaking in.. or out? how much? when?

There was a post about a small hole for the cars with no shaker 1000 that needed a plug not long ago.

my bad....check out this thread...

i was told on many 05 cars....some 06 cars...then a few 07 cars??

thanks!

Just take it in to the dealer before it gets too wet and does damage to the carpet padding

Not Mine......

adnlyn, you said you spoke with some AA guys and they said a TSB is coming. Any word on that?

Mine doesnt leak either.

No probs with my 07:banana:

glad to hear u guys dont have problems with the 07's i just order an 07 alloy vert with red interior and a cloth top today and im trading in my 05 after they fixed the leak.

yes it was on another forum...the thread is posted in here...he said they know and are working on the TSB but it isnt out yet but should be soon

This is a problem, and it has affected 07 vehicles as well.

If you have a SN197, do yourself a favor. After a drive in the rain; or a rainy day - pull the front passenger side access panel [small plastic panel] and with your fingers - probe down below the carpet to the mat beneath. If you have a leak, you will feel moisture here.

A TSB is in the works; but frankly up until a couple of days prior to Christmas, Ford was denying the problem [although they had previously swapped out entire vehicles because of leak problems].

The source of the leak(s) is various; and not isolated to one thing. Sh*t design / manufacturing would be a good way to summary it. Some have said that the leak(s) cannot be properly diagonosed and fixed without removing the right front fender of the vehicle.

I do not have this problem although many suspect that it is far more widespread than owners really know. I am simply following it closely because I have $35K sunk into a loaded 07 vert [that fortunately is a warm weather driver].

Kudos to all owners and forum members who have b*tched to Ford about this. If it were not for them, Ford would still be in a state of denial.

thanks to adnlyn
 

i want to than Adnyln for bringing this issue to my attention.

i went under the driver side of my car and didnt feel any moisture but now reading the post by mail906 i think i didnt go deep enough behind there.

i will try again.

thanks!

Not for nothing maybe this should become a sticky (at least until it's fixed), I know most TSB oriented problems can be annoying but this is one of the more serious ones. Sure hope the 07 I ordered does not have this problem (my 06 sure didn't).

agreed on the point that this should be a sticky...

It should be part of the Warranty sub-forum we were supposed to get back. See here http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=54533

You should probably post there to let the mods know we still want that; I did.

i just want people to realize i didnt get the problem til 25,000 miles(that i knew of) so those of you that say you dot have it dont get too cockey. but atleast we know what to look for and now ford ia aware.

I posted there also. I haven't noticed any moisture in my passenger footwell carpet but, after several days of rain here, I have noticed a slightly musty smell inside the car. I will investigate more thoroughly when I get the chance.

Like others have said you need to remove the kick plate on the passengers side lift up the carpeting and check the foam underneath also check your fire wall foam. I am keeping an eye on this as well as I have an 07 on order, hopefully the TSB will be issued soon, I will be asking the service department at the dealer to look at my car for the TSB when it comes in.
