I purchased a 2014 fiesta st from mossy ford in san diego last week. It has 19950 miles on it. Originally i paid 19500 for it but ive been asked to come in tomorrow because it turns out i wasnt actually approved for the loan. They were able to get me approved for 17.5k with a higer interest rate so my payments will stay the same but the dealer is gonna take 2k less for the car to save the deal. Over the last few days ive noticed a few things about the car that i am going to discuss with the dealer before i sign the new paperwork tomorrow. Heres a list of issues ive discovered. Feel free to tell me if im paranoid. Also any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
1. I hear a bump noise over the rear driver side tire over low speed bumps (shock tower?)
2. I requested a vehicle health report today and it said theres a sync recall
3. The vehicle health report also said that the brakes/suspension needs service but didnt give specifics.
4. I screwed up setting up the mykey thing and now i cant go over 80 or turn the esc off (my bad) i only have one key so hopefully the can turn this key back into an admin key
5. One night i had trouble putting the car in gear briefly
6. I feel like the paint is fading on the roof when i look at it from an angle
7. One rubber exhaust hanger is torn and the exhaust moves quite a bit (i brought this to the dealers attention and the have ordered a new one to install.)
8. The center console is loose (they also said they will fix this when the exhaust hanger comes in)
9. The insulation in the rear wheel well is coming loose a bit.
10. I can hear the brake pads on the rotor when i come to a stop.
After typing this im beginning to think i am crazy/paranoid but this is my first "new" car and i want to be sure im not getting a lemon. I need this car to be reliable as well as fun. Its still under factory warrany so they should fix this stuff right? Also i dont have any experience owning performance cars as i am a motorcycle guy so take what ive said with a grain of salt. Thanks for any feedback -alex
