Sorry to hear. I wish I knew how to fix the problem. Hopefully it all works out.

Good on Gordon Ford on making things right. I saw pics and it was shameful that Ford let it pass QC. Here's the thread with pics http://themustangsource.com/forums/f806/my-limited-edition-body-panels-dont-fit-well-534661/index4/

It's such a shame considering he got it for sticker.

I hope mine doesn't have any issues I think I've waited enough and I won't be able to go without it once I get it.

Not sure the hood is wrong. That angle you can't tell. The hood front edge must be viewed from above to see if that gap is even all along. Any amount of angle and it won't appear straight as it isn't a straight line from the front or sides. The rear valence and the spot on quarter panel definitely isn't right though.

You know, I honestly think that Ford could have done a better job on all of our cars. The Mustang is the most important car in their portfolio and time and care should have been taking to make sure the cars got out right. I dont know if you guys have looked at the pics or videos of the assembly line but you will notice a bunch of Mustangs out to the side. I have mostly owned European and Japanese cars for that same reason. They tend to be more detailed oriented when building a car. I not saying that I am not happy with my car, I am but nonetheless, at this day and age, it should not be happening at this level. They should have this figured out by now. I bet Bill Ford's #001 LE wont have those issues!

It is disappointing that an enthusiast oriented car has panel fit issues in this day and age. I look at my wife's 2014 Pathfinder parked next to me and every single gap and shut line is dead perfect. It makes it look like my Mustang was assembled by blind people (or people that just don't give a shit). I'm still happy with the car overall but you can't ignore the fit and finish issues we all seem to have.

I guess I got lucky. My only issue is the hood sits a little low on the passenger side. Everything else is solid.

I'm in same place. Mine is great except for hood is a tiny bit low in the center. I just haven't gotten around to the hood latch tweak yet.

Sad to say but if you look at every new Mustang LE or regular I bet you find a flaw somewhere in the the panel/body aliment.

Funny, I work for Nissan, and we get paint and panel alignment issues all the time. It isn't just Ford.

HOWEVER, the dealership should have caught it and fixed it prior to delivery.

did the transport cover leave any worn spots in the paint any where on y'alls cars?
have a spot on the passenger side bumper just behind the rear tire.
think that would be covered under the warranty?

Nope. And it should be.

Like black dragon says. I can go to any car lot and point out imperfections. It's such a huge thing for us because of the bad ones in the beginning and they are easier to see smaller differences because of the tighter panel fit than the outgoing years. I parked my 2015 next to my 2011 I sold and it's no better or no worse than it is.

The most disappointing part is that the LE cars were supposedly given extra QC checks. How the hell did they miss all these issues on this car

It seems nobody PDIs on arrival anymore, or if they do , they have no idea what to look for.
