Hey all, honestly all of this is cosmetic and the car has been more then great in terms of reliability and all but when you buy a brand new car all these warranty issues starting to become a chore.. I still have a few warranty issues unresolved, mind you I've had over 5 warranty claims all approved and all sorted out. However 3 times my car was damaged in dealership care and the dealership even replaced my entire door panel. I've noticed my side window moldings starting to get dented in, or indented obviously you could blame the heat.. But after a year? It's kind of sad really as other people in cooler climates report the same thing. My dealer advises waiting for them to buckle in fully however I didn't buy the car like this therefore it shouldn't be like this.

My driver side weatherstripping was also damaged and replaced in dealership care though they won't admit to it and now the one replaced is flush and tucked under but the passenger is not flush nor tucked under and it's noticeable from outside the car with the door closed. :frusty:

Today I unwrapped my car since I had the cover on and was headed to work, I noticed my third brake light had white circles, I might be crazy but I don't recall it being like this as the white really stood out right away. Then again there has been atleast 3 warranty claims I've had approved to where they can't explain why it happened or what caused it. The part is $169.xx and I've read it's 5-8 hours of work... :ford:

In the last picture you can even see where the trim clips in it looks like it's starting to pull away, I suspect this is how my driver side one pulled out and the clips broke due to improper installation to begin with from factory.

Anyway /end rant has anyone's brake light done the same thing? I could've swore it was solid black, it looks like there was plastic in the three holes and they're starting to come out.
