I got my silver 2013 FFE about 6 weeks ago and still am very happy with it. One issue I noticed when I raise or lower the drivers-side rear seat is the orange-clad power cables which I assume go to the high voltage battery. It appears to me that the bottom edge of the seat rubs on the cable and may eventually wear way the insulation. The bottom edge of the seat is quite stiff and may be metal reinforced. Anyway, I didn't ever want to have high voltage cable with insulation removed, so I taped a piece of plastic (milk container polyethylene) over the cable so the seat will have to rub through that first. Hope Ford comes up with a better solution before someone gets shocked.
