What owners wrote
2008 ford mustang gt, purchased on 25 july 2008 purchased new vehicle on 25 july 2008. First water damage was on 5 sept 2008, the car held approx. 3 inches of rain water on passenger side. Dealership claimed that they found that the windshield was not properly sealed around the windshield wiper, however, my print out from them shows where they paid "mr. Vinyl" $125.00 for cleaning up the water damage. Ford dealership and ford customer relations denied my request for new interior carpet.
After exiting the vehicle on 9/30/14, the driver's door refused to latch after attempting closing the door several times. The vehicle was not in an accident and there is no body damage whatsoever. As this incident has never appeared before, I called my servicing dealership and reported the problem. They instructed me to have the vehicle towed to them since they said it was obviously not safe to drive.
