2005 Ford MUSTANG GT Traction Control System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	737051
Internal NHTSA #	10282247
Manufacurer	FORD MOTOR COMPANY
Brand	FORD
Model	MUSTANG GT
Model Year	2005
File date	13/08/09
Component	TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	1. Water leak in passenger side kick panel, has shorted smart junction box, now traction control does not work (caused the rear wheels to spin out on wet pavement at 35 mph and lost control of the vehicle, hit a curb and bent 3 rims and under carriage damage) and has caused other safety related problems while driving. With a/c on, car idle will drop and sometimes stall out, causing a loss of steering and brakes (very safety related). Ford knew of water leak issue when vehicle was manufactured, they put a little plastic cover over sjb computer to deflect leaking water inside passenger compartment on passenger side behind kick panel near door hinge. No dealer will repair the issue without buying a new sjb and programming for over $600. 2. Also rear brakes stick after using emergency brake. This is in a warm climate, not cold climate. If i ever have to use my e-brake in an emergency the rear wheels will lock up and be even more of a hazard and danger. Both these issues are very safety related. I tried searching your data base and could not even select mustang in the vehicle list. Searching the internet you will find literally hundreds if not thousands of complaints about this water leak and sjb damage issue. Please do something about this. I am currently thinking of suing ford for the water leak and wreck this caused. I came very close to hitting a pedestrian when the traction control failed in this accident.
