Is this normal from ford?

The more you look for issues the more you are going to find. QC with Ford seems to be an on-going problem. Despite the issues I found on my GT, I still enjoy the driving experience and don’t regret the purchase.

To your defense you bought a new car for good money and not a used one you have to comb through in order not to get screwed…These build issues should not happen in 2024 on any vehicle not matter how much it costs but Ford obviously does not build quality nowadays…But they are not alone when I looked at misaligned panels like it the wheel wells and fenders of the C8…But these fanboys and girls obviously dont care and so they get what they deserve…On the C7 some panels right from the factory where already chipped because they touched…So Ford is just as good or bad as GM when it comes to build quality unfortunately…And your dealer is probably just as upset as you are because Ford probably does not pay them for their screw ups and will be told that is current technical standard like other noises being told to be normal…These vehicles have to be enjoyed for what they are not of high build quality on how put together or materials used , gaps , paint or rattles but the fact that they still make V8 noises and can be had with a manual…If they had more Torque I would put one in my stable , too despite the shortcomings and the prices they ask for them lately because $75K plus tax and license is getting ridiculous especially with these flaws…When you charge these prices the expectations rise exponentionally….LOL

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

I know this is an old thread but.
Our 2024 GT 401-A is about perfect out of the Box as you can get .
The Fenders, Hood etc. all line up perfectly.
The Car Play can drive you crazy but after you know what you doing even the Car Play seems to work if you know the sequence of events for Car Play to work properly.
Good Luck
