We have two Lightnings (one for for me, one for my son). We both got the OTA update PT-25.11.4 for the charge port lock and primary/secondary drive units.
Since then, both trucks have been showing the same strange behavior:
1. We had to push buttons on the screen twice - say for answering a...
Okay, Thank you, I will try this too - yes, it is as if all pads are glazed or something like that, a type of grunt at the end, but more like a squeak grunt, or more like a quack-quack sound, one quack right before the wheel stops rotating and the body lifts, and another quack sound when the...
Okay, Thank you, I'll try. So do you think that when we push the brake, the calipers only engage at the very last second? If that is the case, maybe that is it, because it is only at the very last second, or half second, it is not on deceleration, only the very moment before coming to a stop.
My son and I both have Lightnings, my son has a 2024 Platinum, I have a 2024 Flash.
Today (3/8/2026 he showed me that his truck suddenly makes a squeak noise when stopping - like a brake pad squeak or grunt) right at the very last second of stopping. So in the driveway, it is possible to just...
Glad to see you will be having a Lightning. We do need to show Ford that it was on the cusp of taking off. Just today, I saw three Lightnings (my most ever per-day sighting). It used to be one per day, two per day is typical. Love my Lightning!
My Parking Brake sometimes activates on my driveway which has just a very gentle incline, but only about 1 in 10 times. I cannot find the scenario that reliably has it auto-apply. Anyone with info?
I’m not an analyst or economist, and I don’t have any special insight into Ford’s internal decisions. I’m just a Lightning owner who’s been thinking a bit about what might have gone wrong — and what actually went right.
I’m curious whether, as a group, we could do a little constructive “group...
The center console button - the big hand-sized button - is very difficult/sluggish to push in. When i do force it in, there is a click on the locking tab/ear on the drivers side. Silcone spray did not help.
Any thoughts?
No soda/coffee/juice has been spilled on it.
Question for @Henry Ford and @XLT Jeffy , since your post in 2023, would you still say that the 22 inch wheels does not impact m/kWh too much if at all? I am going to try a set of Platinum wheels on my Flash.
I have a 2024 Flash, with 25k. It has the dreaded Hancook tires with the outer edge wear that I have heard about from others.
I much prefer the look of the Platinum wheels, so before getting a new set of 20" tires, I was thinking of plunking the money down for Platinum wheels and getting new...
