My hood is really hard to close. I literally have to slam it shut or it won't close. Any of you have the same issue?
Thanks

Spray the front latch with silicon lube. It really helped mine. A little push from about 12" and it closes securely every time.

I have very little complaint. I do have the brake squeal, but it will be fixed. I hve a little rattle in the common spot in the dash; will get that fixed when the car goes in for the brake repair.

No panel fit issues, no odd content. Doors fit and shut, hood shuts, trunk shuts, everything works. Couldn't be happier.

Paint issues, they had to repainted the hood and drivers door.

Some things to keep in mind;

People with issues are much more vocal than those without.

I agree this thread should probably be in the general section. But the results are looking bad. : (

I'm at my dealer right now and half of these cars have very bad alignment issues. The worst offender here is a Roush rs1. Hood and trunk on it both has big gaps. Not a simple misalignment but a gap its and its 41k!

I am surprised at the results so far. I was anticipating more people w/o problems. As it stands...

30 total with problems 46%
35 total without problems 54%

If yours is Triple Yellow, how did they do? Did they follow the Factory Process?

Yes TY, they did it like the factory and did an amazing job. It took them 2 weeks but well worth the wait. They showed me the 20 test panels they painted for practice before the did my car. It came out flawless.

Excellent!

No fitment issues, paint issues, squeeks or rattles for the first 500 miles. Base ecoboost build 11/14 i believe

Not very many EB owners with a voice... represent.

I have an EB Premium with the PP. After 2100 miles I have not noticed anything in the way of rattles or odd behavior. The panel fitment and paint finish is very good, better than other cars in this price range. With all the bitching about MyFordTouch I was expecting some quirkiness but it has been perfect. Not quite as fast as the uConnect in the wife's car but the display resolution is better, all in all I prefer it over uConnect.

I have the loose leather on my passenger seat bolster, and it seems the handle on the back of that seat doesn't work right either. I've only had the car for 3 days. Will be taking it in Saturday to see what can be done. Love the car but was a little disappointed to find these things.
I traded in a 2012 GT, and I had a few issues with that one early on too. Front lower control arms had to be replaced at 8k miles, and there were odd rattles within days of getting it home. The seats were perfectly tailored in that one though!

I read somewhere that using the handle in the upper mid back of seat to get access to the back seat was supposed to let the seat slide forward on the rails too? That was not the case on the V6 Convertible driver side seat I checked out in a showroom.

Was that report incorrect? Does the back latch simply tilt the seat back forward?

 

[ATLalien]

On my driver's side that works, the seat back handle simply tilts the back forward I think.
