So sorry to hear my friend! Seems like this is pervasive from manufacturer to manufacturer...
QC is gone and volume seems to be the number one focus...
Quality/reliability be damned..
Dealership took care of the bolt. They didn't have touch up paint for it but luckily enough, I have 2 touch up pens so Repainted and almost can't tell. Will apply second coat and some clear at a later date.
One good thing, ceramic and PPF looks
PHENOMENAL!
😍
I am pretty sure this was repainted for whatever reason. Looking at the right side bolts, looks like the bolts were removed braking the paint bond then retightened and sprayed over the cracked paint below..
Could be wrong but that's a lot of buildup on the edge of the washer below the nut..
It's in between the clear coat and paint. They did the correction and it is below.
Exotica Enhancement is one of the best in my area. They did my Jeep and it was ridiculous..
They know what they are doing..Highest google ratings in the area..
That's hilarious and sad at the same time. Chrome right side, black rubber on the left side. Wow!
You sound like a jeep guy. Lol! I said the same about jeeps as many do.
I like my Bronco Raptor. I liked my 2014 F150 Raptor. Not a problem with that vehi cle.
Seems like today it's all about how...
Electrical issues, batteries died twice, cameras failed multiple times, screen lock ups, crack in hard top from factory sprayed over from factory..
I loved my TJ, JK and Trailhawks I've owned. None gave me as many headaches as the JL..
I have a good rapport with the Sales GM and Service GM. Already talked to them. Not blaming them for Ford's lack of standards..They are, however, the people who PDI the vehicles prior to releasing to the consumer.
I too am a Sales and service director for a dealer with locations in Jersey, MD...
Can't believe I paid 100K+ with tax for this poor excuse of workmanship.
Appreciate the advice...My concern is the paint on the threads. Bolt will not move under minor efforts. If I do it or Exotica Enhancement dies it and it brakes the inbed in the fiberglass, will Ford fix it or say you...
So I recently bought a Braptor as a many know. Was excited as I traded a new 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X 2 door for the Braptor. Nothing but problems with it during the 4 months I had it. In the shop 8 times.
I thought Ford might have higher QC than Stellantis as I have had 8 ford's in my 40+...
