My issues:
Hood
The hood is raised on the driver side where it meets the window.
The hood is tight against the front fender on the driver side. Not so on the passenger side. I.e. the hood is not centered between the driver and passenger front fenders.
Front Bumper
The bumper is not properly attached where it connects to the fender, driver side, at the wheel well. An obvious, body issue.
Driver Door
The driver door when closed is not flush with the rear body panel. Sticks out about 1/4". Near the door latch. Same issue with the passenger door but not as bad and not as noticeable.
Trunk
The is trunk not flush with the rear body panels mostly at the back near the rear window.
Interior
There is wind noise near the passenger side of the front windshield. Not all the time. But when it happens it's noticeable.
There is a rattle mostly on the passenger side of the front dash. Not all the time. But when it happens it's noticeable.
Just noticed that there is a squeak on the driver door arm rest. Was driving without the stereo on which I rarely do. Very noticeable. This one is going to drive me crazy now that i know it's there.
As I looked the car over tonight, I am worried that the body issues cannot be fixed without some serious body work. I think they are just fundamental issues with the body. For example, the driver door is flush with the rear body panel in other places. It's mostly near the latch where it sticks out. So if you fix the latch issue, will the other sections of the door be uneven with the rear panel? The wheel well issue needs to be fixed. Next the driver door. The others? I'll ask and maybe they can be fixed with reasonable changes. But I do not want a body shop to tear into the car to fix the issues.
My 2017 GT has 4000 miles. I showed a couple of the issues to the dealer service rep when I took it in for it's first oil change. He said to bring it in and leave it. He'll show the issues to Ford and go from there. He was surprised and said "wow this is a new car..."
I'll upload pictures when I get a chance.
