I'm including @DFB5.0 :thumbsup:in this thread; he might have seen this effect and could offer insight.
How is the car currently being cleaned? In what fashion? What products? How often?
It's effecting plastic parts, those being painted or not, only? Are you seeing this on body panels?

The thread above documents issues already identified by Ford. I don't see anything related to your problem, but you could be witnessing a new trouble. Yes, return to dealer.
@Ford Motor Company
I'd like to think most manufacturers do same. But yes, agree.
My thought is, they don't ship installed for convenience reasons. If they have to change the tire or something isn't going right, there's no lost key, no delays looking for a key, etc. The vehicle is either going to be in a rail car...
I've always taken the term "quality hold" to mean that, yes.
IDK how often it happens, but it does. Whatever did occur, it happened at the best possible place: the factory. No one will ever know what it was. When the car is received, no one will notice anything is amiss. There will be no tells...
That's good. A good first step. When I picked mine up, I got the same feel from the Salesperson and the other folks (four or five) standing around. They weren't the regular staff, but enthusiasts.
The car sitting out in the open, I'd be concerned if any of the door or trunk seals had been...
OP, sorry this happened.
I'm interested in what's seen and documented during the tear down and inspection. I'd expect the dealer to provide to you photos with their write-up.
We'll never know what happened. Maybe it was a genuine accident involving something else. Maybe someone was delinquent...
I'm seeing Dressing Period being referenced when dealing with orders, modifications and scheduling. An order is in. The Dressing Period allows dealers to make changes to existing orders before everyone commits and the vehicle is scheduled for production. An order might exist, but constraints...
I've had my car for a few seasons now and never experienced an issue. Never seen any meaningful amount of water under the hood.
When you consider the amount of water, mud, dirt and debris going into the wheel wells and undercarriage, especially during highway driving, what makes it into the...
Not to make excuses for Ford, but considering all the variables, it's not surprising. Physical components, print runs and stock, site updates, US, AUS, CAN and EU versions.
Thanks for finding the differences. I agree the photos/diagrams can be better. The resolution is often so poor, even...
Regarding what occurs after engine assembly, it's my understanding that, while they physically spin the engine to confirm crank, valve and cam movement, it's not on a dyno. They do not actually fire the engine up and run it. To do so would involve fluids, fuel, time, labor, etc. From these...
It's a matter that needs to be clarified with this dealer.
While the Service Advisor could have been deceptive, it might have also been a poor choice of words or part of a hurried conversation. No one can add anything to an existing blend oil to make it synthetic.
For the majority of dealers...
My car is not my Daily Driver. But I did have an opportunity to take some photos this morning. I'm attaching two; they're both fails. I'll explain why below. This topic got me thinking of a wide range of subjects to comment on, for anyone considering tint.
Please continue to follow the guidance...
I can remember that. I'll be going into winter storage soon, but I might be able to get a few pics before then.
I looked through my records on the brand and type. I'm using "XPEL PRIME" tint. This is the first bullet in the brochure on film care:
"Keep in mind that your window tint may have a...
Everything seems normal. Clear.
I do wear glasses when driving. Polarized lenses. "Normal" (average) prescription.
It's been a few years since the install, so materials and practices might have changed. I was given at least three days for the materials to cure before cleaning, handling the...

@roket :thumbsup:provided PN# information for the TPMS sensors in ^ this thread and post.
I see this vehicle as a solution in search of a problem. Buyers of it will occupy a small portion of the market.
Will middle-aged performance enthusiasts want one? By and large, no. They're looking for something that ties back to their youth. Something mechanical.
Will younger up-and-comers...
My experience over time with Toyota mirrors many of the comments of Ford.
The last few years in-particular, quality in service has degraded, while pricing has markedly increased. So much so I believe my most previous service with Toyota will be my last.
For general maintenance items, I can...
Regarding the cloudiness of the tint, check with the installer. They might recommend a cure time before handling.
Invisible Glass works really well and is readily available. I've also used Gyeon's Glass cleaner. Both are safe for tint and screens.
For application, I've got something of a...
