more dash rattles

13,000 miles (goes in tomorrow)

throttle stuck wide open (has happened twice), I'm sure I'll get a "could not duplicate" frown
AC condensor smashed and leaking (not sure if it was like that from factory, or if they did it when doing the tranny swap)
trunk not latching closed
chirping in front suspension
creaking/groaning rear suspension
paint flaking off on leading edge of l. rear door
weatherstripping loose on sunroof

Quality is job.....ummm...errr... what # was that again?!?!? confused This is ludicrous on a car that is 8 months and 13k from new! No more Fords for me! If it wasn't for the HUGE depreciation hit I'd have to take, I'd trade the thing in tomorrow! (or maybe wait for the new Altima)
