Last week, I picked up a birthday present in the form of a new 15 Mustang GT Premium in DIB. I love the car. Love the way it looks, drives and performs but Ford needs to do better on the QC on these cars. I know there are threads on this but I wanted to add my voice to the others and really advise all current owners of these 15's and all prospective buyers to really take time to look over the body on these cars. I thought I took enough time but I didn't. When I test drove the car, it was getting late in the day and I missed some things that I am now having to address. When I washed and waxed the car a few days after I bought it and was cleaning the rims, I noticed a good sized scratched area right at the lip of the drivers side rim. Looked like someone ate a curb up. The dealer has replaced that for me. So I am good there. But, here is the worst one. Yesterday, I opened the passenger door and heard a squeak. When I investigated, I saw that the door when opening was making contact with the foam packing in the fender. When I looked even closer, I saw that the door when opening was actually making light contact with the front fender, close to the top of the door. There was a small area of paint missing from where the contact was. So now, the car is in the body shop as we speak to have this alignment issue fixed and to get the chip fixed. I have looked the car over good now and as far as I can tell, this fix will have me in good shape, but check your cars carefully guys. And, realize that some things are easy to miss. I would encourage everyone to especially check their doors to make sure that when opening the door they have complete clearance between the door and fender top to bottom. Mine was only in a small spot but it was still rubbing and chipping the paint.
