Just took delivery of my new stang on Monday...the car is awesome. Couple of concerns though. When I test drove the car last week, there was a horendous rattle under the hood. When we got back to the dealership, I wiggled the battery and this replicated the noise...loose battery. They claimed they were going to fix it. After I took delivery of the car, when I went over some railroad tracks...the rattle occured once again. I spent 30 minutes under the hood during my fist day of ownership fixing my new car. (Tried to tighten the battery...didn't work. Tried to tighten the battery tray...didn't work. Removed battery tray, sprayed bottom with silicone spray, reattached and remounted battery...worked!) Now, yesterday I notice a small slice in the side of my seatback...about 1/4 inch on the leather! Pisser. My hope is that the dealership will replace the seatback if not the whole seat.
