Concerns confirmed in person
Well I know I've said this before, but I went to a local dealer today to check out some of the Mustang's. Mine is hopefully coming in late March, Early April. The biggest dealer we have here has 8 or 9 Mustang's in various configurations, V8's, ECO's and V6's all with different packages. Most if not ALL have various issues with panel alignment. Some hoods with unequal gaps and some sunken on one side raised on the other. Most had front fender misalignments. Looking down the side of the car from the back you could see the front fender sticking out/not flush. One of the worst offenders was a DIB Mustang. I was walking around it and noticed snow was accumulating on the rear bumper where it meets the rear fender on the side of the car. The rear bumper should be flush with the rear fender on the side. I brushed the snow away and noticed the snow was accumulating on the bumper that was sticking out about a quarter of an inch. The rear bumper was like this on both sides of the car. It was almost like the car had been rear ended, but it had not.
I have to stop visiting the section of the forum as it is making me sad. Looking forward to getting my car soon, but cautiously optimistic. I haven't bought any accessories as I don't want to be stuck with accessories for a car I may not be signing for if it looks like some of the other Mustang's I've seen in person.
I looked at many of the other Ford vehicles in the show room and on the lot,... panels on all of the other various vehicles that Ford sells look great. There is obviously a problem with the 1st year production of the Gen 6.
