  1. 023 Lightning (Build 08/23) – No Heat / No Defrost Heat – Dealer says “failed heater assembly” (any insight?)

    Yeah, SOL sums the whole situation up well. Needed the truck back too much to have it in the shop any longer.

  2. 023 Lightning (Build 08/23) – No Heat / No Defrost Heat – Dealer says “failed heater assembly” (any insight?)

    Here is another part number mark. Could help someone looking for repairs.

  3. 023 Lightning (Build 08/23) – No Heat / No Defrost Heat – Dealer says “failed heater assembly” (any insight?)

    Thank you for this. I tried to get them to cover it under that recall too but they said I didn't have a recall for that even though my build date is in that window.

  4. 023 Lightning (Build 08/23) – No Heat / No Defrost Heat – Dealer says “failed heater assembly” (any insight?)

    Not sure if this will help anyone but here you go. If anyone sees something I may have missed let me know please. FYI I cropped the invoice to keep my info private.

  5. 023 Lightning (Build 08/23) – No Heat / No Defrost Heat – Dealer says “failed heater assembly” (any insight?)

    I have in writing to the GM and service advisor that I am agreeing to pay in protest for all the reasons we discussed. Could be me over thinking it but my fear was I pick it up, drive it and god forbid something happens and they say I am negligent for not repairing. They would not put in...

  6. 023 Lightning (Build 08/23) – No Heat / No Defrost Heat – Dealer says “failed heater assembly” (any insight?)

    I think you have a gem of a dealership and i wish I could find one like it. Called around and its the same story, if the system says the parts not covered then their is nothing they can do. Unfortunately when I checked the PTS it said somewhere no cabin heat and I am assuming that is what...

  7. 023 Lightning (Build 08/23) – No Heat / No Defrost Heat – Dealer says “failed heater assembly” (any insight?)

    Yeah, and it is impossible to talk to someone who has common sense and can request that it be under warranty.

  8. 023 Lightning (Build 08/23) – No Heat / No Defrost Heat – Dealer says “failed heater assembly” (any insight?)

    I didnt know I could get a loaner unless it was under warranty. I've made it through with my backup van so far. Dont know the rules with loaners but I haul construction materials so the bed would get thrashed pretty quickly.

  9. 023 Lightning (Build 08/23) – No Heat / No Defrost Heat – Dealer says “failed heater assembly” (any insight?)

    100% agree. Also, I am not sure all dealers are like this but the advisor said 250 per item to diagnose. So even if your heat is the thing you are most worried about tell them battery and charging. I started to rattle off a bunch of issue I had but when he said that I shut up real quick.

  10. 023 Lightning (Build 08/23) – No Heat / No Defrost Heat – Dealer says “failed heater assembly” (any insight?)

    Being in Durham NC my preconditioning wasnt very extreme and most of the time I am plugged in at home.

  11. 023 Lightning (Build 08/23) – No Heat / No Defrost Heat – Dealer says “failed heater assembly” (any insight?)

    I agree with you, I just don't have the time to ship to other dealer, they diagnose, then go through this whole thing over again. I was really hoping my case would go to someone higher than the service provider but the stop gaps Ford puts in place make it impossible to talk to anyone who can...

  12. What is the best app for planning a road trip?

    Also, when you use gmaps in your truck it will recommend/add a charging stop if its farther that your range.

  13. 023 Lightning (Build 08/23) – No Heat / No Defrost Heat – Dealer says “failed heater assembly” (any insight?)

    During my research I did find one listed refurbished on ebay I think. Probably that solder joint that was the reason for recalls 😀

  14. What is the best app for planning a road trip?

    ABRP has been my go to

  15. Will You be buying the Lightning EREV?

    I get that but if you read my post about issues with warranty of ptc heater you would understand where im coming from. I do not trust in ford or dealerships to do what's right.
