Hate my new ford
Last 2 weeks i can not keep it out of the shop. I just got it back 2 weeks ago from body shop from a fender bender. Stop at Star Bucks for coffee Last week a guy parks next to me and wind catches his door and hits mine dent and scratch pass door great i just got it back. Today on my way home a rock hits my windshield and guess what. I just cant win. I guess 3 is the charm.

it does stink that you have all these issues at once but I don’t understand how it is the trucks fault??

Electron, Let the guy vent! It's called frustration. Like crabbing to you neighbor about your wife when she ticks you off. I'm sure he's just upset his big shiny baby has been a bodymans dream. Hang in there OP, your truck will. I once put five windshields in a 2008 truck in 6 months. I survived. You will too.

Only if you're blaming the stove for her poor cooking skills ...

I absolutely feel your pain. Had a couple of not my fault issues and then this happened 2 wk’s ago. I think the truck is bad luck. 6 Mo old. 12K mi. I’ll be in a loaner for s month at least.
Good luck. 🍀

I usually park in open areas if at all possible. The other day I was walking out of Costco and I see a rogue cart (most likely wind blown) cruising across the lot. I ran and grabbed it quick before it hit someone’s vehicle but I guess it could have been my truck in the crosshairs just as easy. Sometimes it’s just bad luck. However it’s nice to lower the number of shots on goal if you know what I mean.

Second week I had my truck I went out to out something in the bed. Unlocked it, put my keys on the rear bumper (force of habit from my old '06) turns out there isn't as much clearance on these new trucks....tailgate down straight into the keys. Nice 1 1/2" long scratch right down to metal between the SUPER DUTY letters. Man was I pissed!!!! Fortunately due to a forklift operators negligence I am getting a new tailgate.
Oh and then in a snow storm I opened my driver door into my trash can...guess I'll my calling the paintless dent guy in the spring.
Vent all you want...having a new vehicle can be stressful!

Definitely sucks to feel like your vehicle is cursed, been there done that. A different wording on the subject line would be more accurate to reality. Hopefully you're past the bad omens and can get on to enjoying your truck.

My favorite is when I park 100 feet from the closest vehicle in a parking lot, where there are hundreds of spaces available near the store, and I come out after shopping and someone is parked RIGHT NEXT TO ME. It blows my mind.

Is it a rusty hoopty or another truck? It's ok if it's just another truck or sprots car guy looking for dent free spots. He's just blocking/protecting one side of your truck that way.
I look for an uphill section to park in, even if it means parking 3 stores further away. Or walking from a closed stores lot. I avoid tight lots filled with pot heads like chipotle, starbucks, or the entire state of oregon. Tons of door dings waiting to happen in any parking lot filled with Mom's high on antidepressants as well. (hopefully you don't shop at Kohls) I actually waited to move before I bought my truck.
