My doors - both of 'em in the front- sqeak right along the armrest/door pull. It sounds like the styrofoam underneath isn't securely fastened. I took it into the dealer (Caruso Ford in Long Beach) on Tuesday, and left it with them for the day (note to Ford - even VW gave me a free rental car for my Jetta TDI. Why can't you?). They've ordered two new "bezels" (that's what I was told) and - as yet - don't have the parts in stock yet. I have hope. However, once the car has warmed up and I'm on a (relatively) smooth road? The squeaks miraculously disappear (ah yes!). Still, it's the only car I've had - ever - with this problem. I don't think it's a build quality issue; I think the door panels/bezels were simply poorly engineered is all. Still, it's my first Ford ever, and I DO want to root for the home team - but it would be nice if the build quality was top-notch. Otherwise? At 26,000 km, the car is running like a champ- I've never had a mechanical issue whatsoever! The MyFord Touch has been a bit temperamental - but it DOES work. And I love driving this car - it's SO much more refined than my 2007 Prius could ever hope. Just sweat the details, Ford! I love the car otherwise!
