Exactly...I hope the noise is emanating from the interior though. I will be changing out the factory motor oil for the good stuff at 5K miles and am gonna have the dealership chk it out. Hopefully I can report back to this thread with an update. On the color - I had an Ingot Silver SHO before this one...I will say that the Burgundy Velvet color is a PIA to keep clean. I was spoiled with the silver SHO for sure. I am seriously OCD on having a clean shiny vehicle and I am spending a heckuva lot more time keeping her clean and scratchless. Not sure if it is the tinted metallic clearcoat used on this paint color but it is really easy to get scratches so be careful and be sure your microfiber towels are very clean....i use new ones every time I detail her now. OCD!

I hear you about the OCD . I'm thinking of applying some kind of protection to the paint beyond wax to save it from the swirls and scratches .

I'm taking the car in to the dealer regarding the squeak. I'm concerned so damage might be occurring by leaving it.

Not only be OCD about what you use to clean it, but also OCD about what's on the surface BEFORE you clean it.

A neighbor of mine (which I'd love to eradicate from this Earth) likes to use a leaf blower in the STREET in front of my house. A lot of silica (sand) winds up on my cars and drives me frickin' nuts. Always ALWAYS rinse well before even touching the paint.

Scratched Instrument Pannel Cluster (IPC) lense is not warrantable, but the good news is they are available separately.

The factory warranty only covers factory defects/workmanship.

if he still has 3/36 b to b on it its fit and finish also scratch could be a factory defect

No. It would have been caught on p.d.i. and a customer only has 7 days after delivery to report minor defects. After that, your s.o.l. unless something failed and damaged something else.

The squeak turned out to be a broken engine mount .

wow that was rather quick to fail.

They don't have a history of failing that I can see .

Really...wow...so was your squeak constant or consistent because mine is very intermittent and as far as I have been able to determine it has been mainly when it is raining out or I am driving on wet roads.

 

[MHW100]

It was consistent under any type of throttle.

Well - at least it is a warranty claim but still a pain to have to deal with..hope they give u a nice loaner if it is more than a one day job. The dealership I work with lends out F150 4X4s with either the 2.7 Ecobeast or if u get lucky - the occasional 3.5 Ecobeast....the 3.5 Ecobeast F150s are a blast to beat on for a day or two! Brake torque to 2000 rpms release brakes smoke the rears and let her eat...fun times!

That sounds like good times! Trusting a shuttle to and from the office in one day will do it .
