Spider activity occurs on or around the vehicle essentially every day. I routinely see multiple spiders and webs on the windshield, hood, doors, roof, trunk, sides, and around both exterior mirrors. Spiders repeatedly build webs between the doors/body and both mirror housings, and I have seen spiders crawl out from behind the mirrors numerous times, especially the driver-side mirror.  I also find web strands inside the passenger compartment. On three occasions, a spider rebuilt a large web across the driver’s-seat entry area after I removed it.  On Sept. 10, 2026, after a commercial car wash earlier that day, I had about six spider sightings within roughly 10 minutes. While driving, I saw one crawl up the hood and disappear near the base of the windshield. Shortly afterward, a sizable spider appeared INSIDE the windshield directly in front of my face, apparently coming from where the dash meets the windshield. I have severe arachnophobia and had an immediate panic response. I was fortunate to reach a nearby parking lot and stop without crashing. During the same period, I saw two spiders on the trunk, then another crawling across the interior headliner directly above me, followed by another emerging from the driver-side mirror.  I am becoming genuinely afraid to drive this vehicle. This is not a cosmetic complaint. Spiders repeatedly appear in the driver’s immediate environment and create a risk of sudden distraction, involuntary panic, abrupt steering/braking, loss of lane control, and a crash. The car is normally kept closed and I rarely lower the convertible top because of this problem.  I am not asserting a specific defect or entry path. I am asking NHTSA to review similar complaints and determine whether a vehicle-design condition may be contributing to persistent spider habitation or intrusion into the driver’s area.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"MUSTANG","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
