2015 Ford Fiesta mystery wires

I just purchased a 2015 ford fiesta SE and after driving it a few weeks I found that some wires where hanging out right next to the pedals. Could someone help me out in figuring what these are for?
Thank you!
Pics deleted .... way too large

Pics are way too big
if you can shrink them please do
as it's hard to look at them.
----------------------------
2015 model anything and don't think this car sold to
the US but doesn't matter. That's about
certainly hacked wiring for something aftermarket
you should know what was added.
It's new. Don't touch it. Take it back
under warranty and complain. That's totally
hacked up work especially for a new car IMO,

Agree up to asking for another car!
Pics as said show real wide
so hard to really see on my device
anyway. Looking as last pic
what the holy crap is that? Looks
cut, rusted in California!! NO. Something
is messed up. Other pics show wires added that
just don't look like anything original so may have
something added or now you said California added that
makes it legal for CA. I just don't know but it's
a mess to me.
Just FYI on cars in general + wiring. You don't see wires
as much as possible they are well hidden and protected.
Use of those wire taps, plain electrical tape and seeing
a bunch of wires all like that isn't normal.
You could kick at those and they are less protected from
any moisture.
It would be YOUR call to ask for things that the car didn't come
with as "factory" made like a remote starter, antitheft
something or this new a car locater, on board
Breathalyzer (sp?) such that it wouldn't start or other.
In short if California required something and they have for
ages not required in other states a car maker would either not
sell the type of car there or retrofit it to comply. Either way
that's not good work!
That last pic still bugs me. What happened? Did this car suffer
damage not disclosed to you and somehow fixed? IDK. Dealer may
not know? This new they need to see it with a full
explanation of what and why up to taking that car back IMO as said.
I wouldn't let this go - get real answers from dealer or move
up the ladder to FORD customer service for this with
the car's VIN# ready. Should be seen thru windshield
and match driver's door jam and other places all
thru a car - matching # or something is wrong.
-----------
BTW - typing only to left
side of my view with the large pics
there makes script legible. Pics are necessary but
need to be smaller if possible. I can't or don't
know how at the risk of losing them?
Good luck,
T
