Two issues I will be having looked at and hopefully addressed this spring....

Small creases in hood stripe on drivers side only. Looks as if decal was peeled up when removing backing, and hand rubbed. Not a biggie, but noticeable. Second, and I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue is with the Recaro seat fabric. I am not a big fella by any means. 5'7" - 155lbs. Car only has 3,300 miles and I am already noticing seat fabric is wearing where my ass sits. Reminds of the looks a sweater gets after being worn and cleaned to oftern. Just on the ass area, no issues on the lumbar areas.

Seems premature for the seat fabric to wear, and hopefully Ford will give me a good answer.

Google "recaro pilling" and you'll see some horror stories. My 14 is frayed alittle on the bolster.
 
Oh yea I had the right rear shock replaced after it blew the seal when i brought it in for an oil change - so thats 2 so far. I dont mind bringing it to me dealer - freehold Ford in NJ. The have a mustang specialist there 3 days a week and hes the only one allowed to touch my car, including driving it in an out of the bay. Dudes name is Joe and he knows his shiznit inside an out.

Side view mirror popped out so i had em replace it :eek:

My passenger side view mirror started falling down last year. 20 minutes at the dealer and I was done.
Gonna try and get a new rear stripe around the marker light. Its cracked/missing in a spot, if they wont i'm just gonna snag some scrap vinyl and fix it myself.
 
Dang! How do I fix my poll response? Just remembered I had to have the fuel tank vapor canister and level sender replaced right after buying. Couldn't fill my fuel tank full!

I would have Ford replace the vinyl. My dealership's body shop is good but they have so much volume that its hard sometimes for them to spend quality time needed. ie - when i had my tiger hood done - i had to go back twice for alignment/fitment - i wanted it perfect ! - hey I paid for it so they work for me - i'm the boss, no pun intended ! same with the car - you paid for it so they work for you when it comes to warranty ;)
 
Issues with the Recaro seats. Material coming out around the bezel on the headrest on both seats. Had them repaired once. But did not hold up. Will need to take it back and if it does it again will ask for new seat covers or complete replacement (which I know they will not want to do)
 
Had to replace my battery after less than a year. It went dead and wouldn't charge. Oops, also had to get the area under the master cylinder repainted because of the brake fluid leak from the cap.
