Default Would this bother anyone else?

You can see the foam hanging out in the rear seat.
The front seats wont stay clipped.
Crome keeps peeling off inside of rim.
Nasty looking drilled holes for the wing screws. (Is this really Roush work?)
One side of the wing is obviously crooked.







Other things include:
Paint peeling off ground effects (Ford said it was from the sand left on the road from this winter.
Pin stripes have some wierd spotting thing going on that keeps getting worse.
All the stickers under the hood are peeling off.
The Roush sticker on the windshield is slowly vanishing ( I assume from the windshield wipers)
Fog light rattles.
Ground effects rattle and feel like they were poorly assembled.
Drivers side seat looks like its 100 years old and the die is wore off of side .
Front tires wore on the inside about 10000 miles. Paid ford to re alighn car. They put the good tires off the back on front and now this is what they look like after 10000 more miles. I guess you need a alighnment every 5000 miles, I didnt know of this.

Car cuts out and falls on its face when making sharp turns and sometimes it just runs like ****. (unless you pull up to the service dept at ford)
Is this all pretty normal for 20,000 mile daily driver.
Anyways this may seem like im bitching but im really not. Just wanted to know if it would bother anyone else.

Did you buy the car this way?
Yes it would bother me to the point where I wouldn't have purchaesd the car.(at any price)

The stalling problem could be caused by a loose baffle in the fuel tank allowing gas to slosh to one side when cornering and starving the engine of fuel.This could also be a source of some of the rattles.
The alignment problem sounds like worn parts or a poorly designed/thought outsystem using mix and match parts.

This would bother me except for the tire issue. I have a stage 2 and with the way the Roush suspension is set up, you will loose the inside tread before the outside. You can have them adjusted to remove some of the camber, but you will also loose traction in tight turns. BTW, what year is it???

Its a 06 Stage 2. I atually bought it with 5000 miles on it and was told the Roush super charger and front brakeswereput on when it was new. I actually have a ton of paper work that came with it but really haven't looked at any of it except the dyno results. I didnt buy it like this but i Guess I had higher expectations. Its at the shop right now so we will see. They were optimistic. They said they could get all four tires replaced, the interior fixed, a new rim for the one that is peeling. So far they have not said theywouldnt fix anything. Their checking on the stripes and as of right now cant figure out the engine problem because there are no codes or lights going on and of corse it wont act up for them.
