Well, I had my 2.2 Wildtrak for just under 2 weeks.
I was over the moon with the features, and car like handling.
Until last Saturday, when I spotted that I had a good oil patch on my drive-way
I took it in on Monday to get it looked over.
I'm sure you could imagine, I was a bit peeved off.Posted Image Posted Image

I was notified on Friday that the oil catch lid is deformed and a new one would have to be ordered from America.

The new lid is expected the 2nd week of June, so at least 3 weeks from when I dropped it off.

My dealer has been great about the whole situation, they even gave me the demo XLT to use until I get mine back.Posted Image Posted Image

Also, when I first picked it up there were a few QC problems that I found, but they were minor and was going to wait for the first service to get them seen to Posted Image Posted Image

1-The ignition barrel has a 15mm gap all the way around the outside. (is this the same on all the rest?)
2-The drivers door rubber-stop was missing. (no biggie just must have missed it.)
3-The arm-rest/center-consul bottom latch doesn't fully lock. (is anyone's else the same?)
4-The cup holders in the bed are useless due to the side rails(Obviously a major design flaw)
5-The wheel wells have got wires inches from the tiers (am I missing a shield on them?)


When I did check the oil out that was left in the engine it was really black, but it was only 10 days old at that time, should it get that black that quick?

My dealer has been very helpful, but what stance should I take with Ford HQ? Posted Image

Should I just be happy that they're giving me a courtesy car? Posted Image

I'm sure you could imagine the boss and I aren't over the moon with Ford at the moment   Posted Image Posted Image

Thanks in advance for any comments!
