Rats chewed two of the coil pack wires and car went into limp mode, running on two cylinders. It was not covered under warranty. But, my comprehensive insurance covered the $1000 bill beyond my deductible. Really fed up with the solutions to keep critters from eating the soy based wire looms.

The brake-light switch was replaced under warranty. The faulty component was causing off-and-on issues with the cruise-control system and resulted in an intermittent "flutter" while driving, which made it feel like the engine was cutting out for a second or so (fortunately this only happened every couple-hundred miles and only for a second).

Other A/C compressor bolts broke and the A/C belt came off which took out the main belt which stopped the water pump. The engine overheated and was replaced by Ford. Root cause: A/C compressor bolts over-torqued in the factory. The engine that was replaced had been using a quart of oil every 900 miles. The new one has used none in its first 1,200 miles.

AC quit while parked on a backed up highway for nearly an hour at 114 degrees. The intake air temp and head temperature were very high. Cooling fans didn't sound like they were running. Once traffic started moving, engine temp spiked, then rapidly cooled down. Appointment made with dealer who found a ground wire had pulled out of the fan circuit, causing both fans to fail to engage.

Front fender liners: retaining pins were missing on both sides. Liners moved and touched front tires, and were then destroyed. Dealer replaced both fender liners. Tires were fine. These missing pins were another sign a proper pre-delivery inspection hadn't been done, but I digress.
