Dayum, I've got it too. To go along with my defective fuel pump, mysterious drop in idle after feul up, and blown door speaker. My car smells like crap, and almost stalls when I start it after filling up, but it's got 300hp! I can't imagine how fast it will be after rust eats hundreds of pounds of metal off of it.
2006 GT. Bought it in August of 2006, 20K miles already. My only hope is to run the wheels off of it before it falls completely apart.
I love my mustang, so is there any hope of getting this thing fixed? This is so frustrating. I don't have time to be without a car for days and days.

Answer for Twokids: I took the left and right sillpieces and the left and righttrim piecesoff. (the left piece is the one around the hood lever, the right piece is the one with the access panel everyone talks about.) Then I cut the carpet in the middle (carefully, there are wire harnesses to avoid ) in the hidden area in the very front under the dash. This cut is about three inches long, is out of sight and allows me to peel the left and right carpeting back (move the seats all the way back.) Then I cut (with shielded shears, not a knife) and ripped out any damp padding I found. This allowed me to get things bone dry, and keep an eye on things. In addition to towels, I put down some heat underlayment to keep the carpet around the transmission hump from getting too hot. Luckily, everything's been dry since then. I haven't had time to do the rear carpeting or trunk yet.
Question for adnlyn: did they specifically say what the problem was? Can you describe it?
Got the call at noon car done early, so I go after work. Read entire service blurd about their findings and what they fixed...plenum leak gromets, poor seals, hung up carpets to dry, heater used all night to dry. Do you see where this is going yet???
I open the door and the mats are dirty, car smells musty. Gotta get kids home so I leave. At home, I find my rear quaterpanel deeply scratched and very smelly mats. I rip up the passenger mat and it is f'ing SOAKING wet. I did this infront of the service rep as I went back to show scratch, dirt and smell. It is wetter than when I dropped it off (as I dried it out).
I lost it and had to leave I was so mad. Called GM and will talk again Monday when I have settled down. This is ridiculous.

i live in Vancouver as well.
If you dont mind me asking, which dealership you take it to?
Ive had warranty work (minus the water leak) done on my car at Coastal Ford in Burnaby and they are pretty good.
Update. Passenger side not leaking!!!! YAY. But now the drivers side is wet. Not soaking like the passenger side but wet nonetheless. I will give it one more rain storm. If it is wet again then MustangLissy getsout of her lease and goes to Toyota. [sm=goodidea.gif]
I called ford, and they gave me a line of horse****.....they told me that by fixing the leak they are going above and beyond the call of duty for me....what scumbags!
three times in the dealership....well, one long time...I never even got it back, and they kept having to fix it, yand me finding new problems.
well, I have it back now....I hope it stays dry. Now I hear the drivers side is capable of possible wetness too??!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!
I'm just pissed off with a company that produced an otherwise awesome car. I do love my car.

Oh that is rich. I think we drive the same leaky boats. I am going to try to keep her garaged and avoid rain....if that is humanly possible in Vancouver[:@]
Mdnytrider, I park my car (05 GT)on a pretty steep incline (facing uphill), yet I havent noticed any water anywhere. I am located on the Gulf Coast south of Houston and we see quite a bit of rain here. My mother-in-laws Focus was pretty bad about letting water in, but still no problems detected in the Mustang.
Add me in for return trip #2. Living in NJ my car had to sit through the Nor'easter we had here least week. My dealer subs their leak problems out so they have a guy come in on Friday's to handle the leaks. Needless to say, it sat all week with the standing water. When I dropped it off this morning you could still cup the water up with your hands. Needless to say the first conversation I had was about the carpet and underlayment replaced AFTER they finally fix the leak.
