Currently being stripped down and fault yet to be properly diagnosed. ETA 6 weeks before car is returned back to me
Update: gearbox was rebuilt under warranty, now seems to be fine

Symptom: rear passenger door rubbing against driver's door
Fault: door out of alignment causing panel damage - fixed under warranty (3500KM)

Symptom: squeaking noise coming from front left of car
Fault: Loose cable in engine bay, fixed it back onto sub frame and noise is now gone.

Symptom: Car unstable in a straight line, moves around in lane as though the wheels are out of alignment
Fault: fixed under warranty, rack was too tight (3500KM)

Symptom: Since new there is a persistent shimmy in the steering wheel at 83KMH and then from 100KMH +.
Fault: two diagnostic tests, including one with a Ford Engineer found no fault - tyres are balanced, nothing is loose, it is considered to be normal and within operational guidelines. If it gets worse I'll take it back. Now at 7500KM
