The major complaint, the driver's seat, has been reported to both Ford Motor Company and the dealership - neither of whom has seen fit to acknowledge my existence on this planet. The seat will not adjust (lever apparently has a perpetual short) - which means I can't see comfortable over the steering wheel.
