Description of the problem | Water clogged under the driver's seat of ford mustang 2014 convertible. The vehicle was stationary parked in front of home along the curb for 15-20 days and its rainy season in california. A puddle is formed on the left side under the driver's seat. Car was parked downhill so water accumulated in the front. It's because of the water which gets accumulated overtime in the left/driver door in some models of mustang. Overtime, it crosses threshold and starts leaking inside the vehicle. Ideally, water should be drained automatically. But to remove water from door you have to remove the black plug at bottom of the door. And no way to remove water from inside of the car. It potentially causes serious damage to internals of car and molds. There have been numerous people facing this issue and its common in some mustangs. It's clearly a manufacturing defect and vehicles should be recalled. Https://mustangforums. Com/forum/3-7l-v6-technical-discussions/696287-water-sloshing-around-inside-driver-s-door. Html |
