The Lightning is my first Ford and it is a pleasure to drive. I haven’t cared much about resale because I haven’t planned to sell it anytime soon.
That said, it will also be my last Ford purchase. Case in point - even if I wanted an EREV I wouldn’t trust Ford to program one that I could safely...
@JPro and @Traconesu both reporting issues following module replacements as part of 25s18. A blown fuse when out of town with vehicle, and a bad replacement battery module.
Also seeing that similar harvest programs (mustang V8 engine heads) participation has sometimes been tied to warranty...
Maybe with your sway as Moderator you can help get @Ford Motor Company to advise the forum if this is in practicality a repair situation or a donation request? I see they are active elsewhere in the forum.
For those included in this campaign:
The 8-year/100,000-mile warranty covers repairs or replacements for battery defects. If the campaign’s harvested modules had latent flaws (e.g., leading to gradual degradation), replacing them now could prevent a future failure that would qualify for a full...
Then you are totally uneducated on the topic and should stop the protest on behalf of Ford.
The name of the campaign is Harvest Program 25H02, as evidenced by the title of the thread. The letter states “we are providing a no-charge Harvest Program for your vehicle”.
Your confusion on the...
Am I in the charity business if I take my truck in for this battery module harvest?
This is an honest question for other early adopters (not for @El Duderino and his 2025 Flash).
Wrong - they are being cagey about whether my own vehicle might have an equipment issue or not.
It is debatable if replacing select modules and not the whole pack is any kind of reward for being a parts (drivetrain parts) donor. It seems only takes one sensor or software update to not like the...
Correct - I would have rather not gotten any letter than one saying they’d like to pick my vehicle apart with no clarity on whether there is or even might be an issue with it. Now I have to decide if I am going to be inconvenienced so they can potentially screw up my vehicle when it might be...
Got the letter. They want to harvest critical components from my fully functional vehicle to “build a community of happy, satisfied customers”.
They might as well asked for my left nut to examine the virility of a sampling of Lightning buyers.
I’m offended by the lack of transparency here...
Are you using Car Scanner, or some other method of knowing it is the vehicle requesting less power, and not the charger offering less? Most likely it is the vehicle - especially if it is the same slow rate at different chargers and/or different networks, but just wondering if you are sure. I...
I haven't tried because if using plug and charge it will bill at Ford's rate. If using the app I get Tesla's member discount when signed up (if traveling).
