RE: NHTSA RECALL 16V-384: IN JULY 2016 FORD ANNOUNCED A RECALL BUT NEVER HAD THE PARTS READY. IN DECEMBER 2017 FORD SENT A LETTER STATING THAT THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE PARTS. THEY ALSO SUGGEST NOT TO USE THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. THIS IS A JOKE. IF THAT ISSUE IS SO RELEVANT TO SECURITY, HOW CAN FORD AFFORD TO DO NOTHING OVER AN 18 MONTH PERIOD. ALSO, HOW CAN THEY SUGGEST THAT WE NOT USE THE PASSENGER SEAT (OTHER THAN TO COVER LEGAL EXPOSURE). ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BUY ANOTHER CAR TO BE ABLE TO TRAVEL TOGETHER??

AFTER HEAVY RAIN FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. I WAS DRIVING STRAIT, IN THE RAIN ON A CITY STREET. I NOTICED MY RADIO TURNED OFF. THEN ALSO NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS AND BLINKERS WERE ALSO NOT WORKING. AFTER REACHING MY DESTINATION BEFORE IT GOT TOO DARK I STOPPED AND TESTED ALL LIGHTS INCLUDING BRAKE LIGHTS. ALL OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING, THE GAS LIGHT CAME ON (ALTHOUGH I HAD ATLEAST A HALF TANK) TCS LIGHT AND ALSO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT WERE ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER PARKING THE MUSTANG IN THE GARAGE FOR A COUPLE WEEKS UNTIL I HAD TIME TO CHECK THE STATUS OF THE CAR. I NOTICED THE FLOOR OF THE CAB (PASSENGER SIDE) WAS DAMP. THE CAR BATTERY WAS DEAD (LESS THAN A YEAR OLD, RED TOP OPTIMA) AND THERE WAS MOLD ACTUALLY GROWING IN PARTS OF THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. I DID SOME RESEARCH REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND FOUND IT COMMON FROM A FAILED PLUG UNDER THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS NEXT TO THE A/C FILTER. CAUSING THE WATER TO FILL UP BETWEEN THE FIREWALL AND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, AND ULTIMATELY LEAKING INSIDE THE CAB ONTO THE SJB (SMART JUNCTION BOX) LOCATED DIRECTLY BEHIND THE FIREWALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE FOR IT CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF ELECTRONICS FAIL WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO THE FACT THAT THERE IS MOLD GROWING IN MY CAR FROM THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND NEEDS ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY
