2013 Ford Mustang 2dr Coupe

420-horsepower 5.0L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD

Bought car new. Told sales rep the car did not blow cold air. Took unit back after I realized air would not get cold-42-45 degrees. Engineer called-could not repair. Finally traded car. Will never buy a Ford again-they lost my business.

Driver side electric seat - bad motor - replace the entire seat rail 
14000 mi Battery went bad. Replaced 
34000 mi Trunk wiring to trunk lid gets caught in the trunk lid when closing the trunk. Dealer taped up the wiring. 
14800 mi Had the Sync system software updated to a new version due to functional problems with my iPod connected to the USB port. Stuck on indexing, telling me voice commands weren't available, and occasional non-responsive to voice commands. 
19000 mi Several attempts were needed to install Sync update v4.4. Strange system behavior seems cured after 3rd update attempt. Note this is a new update from what I previously reported. 
19000 mi Sync system will not play the requested song, even though it repeats / confirms the correct song title to me. It then proceeds to play a different song. Tech understands but could not solve the problem. I have another appointment scheduled Update: I have since discovered that the problem with Sync playing the wrong song only occurs when the system is set to shuffle play. If I say "Shuffle Off" and then request a specific song by title, Sync will play the correct song. Seems to be a logic fault that activates the shuffle function upon request of the first song instead of after it. 
23000 mi SYNC stopped working, they had to replace the SYNC module. 
12300 mi Radio delaminated 
13000 mi Radio replaced to fix faceplate delamination.
