It's 2016, this isn't my first forum, buddy.

Posters like him have to be banned, he isn't looking for help, guidance, or even compassion, he is just here to **** up every thread for the next month.

But, what do I know?

OP, you're a lawyer, so paperwork is your thing. Check your warranty information, have Ford's direct contact info ready in case the dealer doesn't help you out, and we'll go from there. I genuinely hope this gets resolved for you.

Can we see some pictures of what bushings? Hell half of us may be missing them. Hopefully it's something that can get fixed and move on from.

I'm on my 3rd new F-150 in 5 years and I haven't had one problem with any of them.

You paid for a new vehicle with a warranty.
You got the vehicle so USE the warranty.

That being said my 2016 has had a few issues and I am using the warranty and driving a loaner F150 until mine is repaired. I am not "happy" about it but mistakes happen and if they are made right its all good. Now if they do not fix your concerns its another thread to post about.

"Stuff" happens.

Ok, so door seals are not glued in place, they simply grip the seam of the door.. push it back on and it should be good to go. The carpet also is not glued down, it possibly just came untucked from under the door trim. And since "bushings" is about of generic a term as you could use, none of us have clue what you are talking about.. I guess the fact that trucks are assembled, loaded on a truck and hauled to a dealer, and then test driven or looked at by who knows how many people, it's not out of the realm of possibly that a few things might have come loose. It's not really fair to bash on someone's product until you give them the chance to fix it. To me the fact that carpet is coming up, and random parts are falling off, it begs the question- what are you using your truck for??

People tend to forget that some parts of these trucks are still assembled by people who make mistakes and aren't perfect 100% of the time.

Everyone is so wrapped up in the "ohh look the newest iPhone" mentality that they forget things are still assembled manually and one may not be the same as the other.

As others said, use the warranty that came with your truck, that's why it's there.
