Timberline delivered last night, potential issues?

Here is an article on Ford’s latest attempt to improve their vehicle quality: https://fordauthority.com/2022/10/ford-quality-improvements-tied-to-seven-key-focus-areas/

On ANY new vehicle, any defect at time of delivery should not be acceptable.

But ESPECIALLY on a $80k+ vehicle.

I just checked ours and I have a similar situation with the dash speaker cover. I hadn’t noticed it until I saw yours.

Take it back. Many states have laws for new vehicle purchases that allows the customer to return the vehicle after so many days.

Take it back. Many states have laws for new vehicle purchases that allows the customer to return the vehicle after so many days.

Texas - no vehicle returns like some other states. The Lemon Law could work but it would have to fail to be fixed 4 times within a certain time frame, have a safety hazard that’s failed to be fixed once, or be at the shop for 30 days within the first 2 years. I will say: this is one thing I don’t like about Texas law. A vehicle should be able to be returned, especially if there’s a good reason to do so.

If someone knows another way, please let me know.

That is exactly how the speaker cover looks on my Timberline.

My speaker cover looks exactly the same too. 8/22 build SPP. I was wondering about it. Interesting that many are seeing the same thing.

Did you order this vehicle or was it on the lot? If I ordered a vehicle and it came in with 28 miles, I be concerned.

Also, some of those issues are on the front drivers side. I would look very hard and inspect (or have inspected) for repaired damage.

Mileage is not an issue, as Ford randomly pulls vehicles from the end of the production line and road tests them. There should have been a sticker, or a letter designating this when the truck was delivered to the dealer, and then the new end user. Or, the vehicle needed to be road tested by the delivery dealer if there was something that did not pass their QC checks before delivery.

I would guess maybe they piled crap in them at Kentucky while they sat for half a year and that dented the seats.....
