2007 Ford Mustang Interior & seats Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the interior system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Interior & seats reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY DRIVER'S SIDE HAS BEEN "REPAIRED" BUT I AM CONTINUALLY TOLD THAT THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN RECEIVED TO REPAIR THE PASSENGER SIDE. ALSO, THE GEARS IN THE ELECTRIC DRIVER SEAT ARE CHEAPLY MADE OF PLASTIC AND QUIT ALLOWING THE SEAT TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACK. ALL MOTORS WORK FINE BUT THE WAY THE SEAT IS MADE YOU CAN'T JUST REPLACE THE GEARS. THIS STOPPED WORKING AFTER THE DEALERSHIP WORKED ON SOMETHING ELSE ON THE CAR SEAT (LUMBAR AIR BAG)

THE SEAT BRACKETS OF MY 2007 FORD MUSTANG ARE RUSTING THROUGH. ALMOST FROM DAY ONE, THE PAINT ON THE BRACKETS PEELED OFF AND THE RUST STARTED SHORTLY AFTER THAT. I AM WORRIED THAT SOON THE BRACKET ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT WILL RUST THROUGH AND THE VEHICLE MIGHT BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE. I HAVE TRIED TO ADDRESS THIS WITH FORD BUT THEY DON'T RESPOND TO THIS COMPLAINT. *TR
