Front tooth is coming off, wear on the doors... (pics)

Here you can see the front left tooth starting to come off. I was driving away and some guys yelled at me to stop, and told me something was coming off my car. No idea how that happened...

I think that the car came with the doors like this, but I really cannot remember. I've noticed it for a few months now, and just looking at it really bugs me. If you cannot tell, the doors have some fade or something wrong with them. You can see the streaks of different color or something, right by the handle and the speaker at the bottom. Same thing, but not as worse on my drivers side door.

When they replaced my driver side window, they left a few nuts and bolts in the door and everytime I open the door up I get a rattle from the nuts and bolts.

Im just really dissapointed right now. Im going for an oil change tomorrow and im definetly going to talk to them about this..

Edit:: and my fricken brand new leather is already tearing, you can see it tearing in one of the pics....

Those marks on the door pannels could be from when they were molded. If thats the case, good luck getting them replaced. Ford is going to give you the run around Big Time on those. Same thing with the seat. They'll blame you.

Fords customer service sucks ass! Sad thing is, I'm a Ford employee and they've jacked me around a few times. No wonder so many people are buying foreign cars more than ever these days.


Good Luck.

I think there is hope for you!
I had a bad piece of leather on my 03 GT vert it was very thin and started cracking, so showed the service manager at Ford and they replaced it.

But like the other guy said they can be a real pain in the a#$s :damnit:

good luck.

Leather conditioner will make those seats looks good again. I like Eagle 1's product.

You may have parked too far forward and hooked your car on one of those cement parking logs. I did that with another car of mine, the rebar that held the parking log in place stood up another 4-5 inches. When I backed out of the spot, the nose of the car nearly got ripped off of the car. Very sad, little paint flakes everywhere.

Those looks like stress points to me. If you subject plastic to stress (flexing, bending), it will get that lighter tone of color at the point of stress.

That is why Ford calls it "premium" leather. Otherwise, it would have not lasted even this long.

Looks like you hit something with your front bumper. Look at the scratches

Get a mach 1 chin spolier and break the hangin piece off, it will cover it up and look 10x's better. As for the doors, i have the same thing since new but its barely noticeable.
