Passenger rear blinker out. Was still covered under warranty. Replaced. But nothing done with warning light for air low in tires. Had to come back again for them to put air in tire. When it should have been done while car was at Ford dealer License plate only has two bolts on it. It rattles like crazy, Dealer unable to fix it. Said they would have to drill more holes in car to secure plate. You would think car would have proper holes to secure plate properly. NOT FIXED! A/C doesn't put out enough air to cool down car in Summer. Was told that intake vents are too large for the fan to blow enough air. They are 3.5in, rather than 2.5in. Air isn't concentrated enough to blow out of vent & efficiently cool car.
