I don't mind recalls. I'd rather them recall and fix an issue than not.

Have you heard anything from the dealer or have you been checking in with them? They are probably hoping you'll just forget about it. Keep bugging them. They broke it they have to fix it. It's a special order part because it's not something a dealer would keep on hand. Unless it's out of...

On my '18 F150 I did 25% on the fronts. Exact match (using a meter) to the factory tint on the rears. It appeared lighter because of light coming through the windshield. For my Lightning I wanted to go darker. 20% on the fronts and 70% on the rears. We didn't put a meter on it but the rears...

The wording of the recall notice that says the lightbar "may not have been installed correctly" suggests that the part is fine but the way the dealers were instructed to replace it was inadequate to prevent water intrusion. Due to the nature of the part it may require sealing engagement with...

Recall reimbursements will come directly from Ford and the official mailed recall notice will have instructions on how to submit a claim. What isn't clear from the wording is whether everyone will get a new lightbar even if it's already been replaced. What I suspect, and this is just a guess...

I've always seen reimbursement options for paid repairs before a recall was issued. Many years ago I had a Chevy that wouldn't start. I paid for the tow and repair at a dealer. The part that failed was later recalled and I submitted my bill to GM and they reimbursed me in full, including the...

Has anyone figured out exactly what causes the moonroof to smell? Mine doesn't appear to leak. Water pooling in the trough? The fabric wind deflector? Water getting into the headliner undetected?

I've never been a fan of column shifters. They just seem archaic. Especially now that shifting is electronic and you don't need anything to move - buttons would work just fine. I like a console shifter, it's easy and mindless and it's what I'm used to. I prefer not to reach for something...

The Ford mobile charger supplied with Lightnings is limited to 30a at 240v. This is so that it can be used with Pro Power, which is limited to 30a output, to charge another EV. The 240v dongle will have a yellow sticker around the cord for 30a versions. The mobile charger supplied with the...

The Ford mobile charger is configured to accept 240v. If it was only a 120v charger you'd get smoke. The dongle just tells it what amps to set. It doesn't configure the voltage of the charger. The +- prongs of the 120v dongle are routed to the same pins as the ++ prongs of the 240v dongle...

There is third option. Using the 120v dongle and a 240v source (would need a plug adapter) the Ford mobile charger will charge 240v at 12a (2.8kw).

I'll do my best to explain that there's a guy named Brian who works for Ford that's not AI but has an AI alter ego that's controlling my truck to navigate me to strange places for his own twisted entertainment. :LOL: But in all seriousness, I hope this bug gets addressed by Ford.

I don't know the ins and outs of the Lightning's system. But here's some thoughts and guesses: A heat pump in heating mode does not dehumidify air. Nor does resistive heat. To dehumidify air you need a cold surface to condense moisture. When a heat pump heats, the cold surface is going to...

Bumping this to say it happens to me from time to time. This week it started giving me voice route guidance somewhere by itself without any input. It's usually someplace I frequent, although one time it was a location I might have been to once months prior (although I do frequent a place about...

Mine showed the kwh added on iPhone iOS26. I actually screenshotted this same page and was going to post it to say that the text is huge. It's a waste of space. Same thing with the app home screen. I do have my phone set to larger text or zoom mode (don't remember with one or both) because...

While you're at it, can you get us some more insight into the OTA update rollout process? Which trucks get the update first? How often is each update batch sent? How many trucks at at time get the update? If we miss an update or it fails, when will it be sent again? Why does it take months...

But that doesn't tell you the current lock/unlock state of the truck. If you want to make sure the truck is locked, you have to use the app to lock it again (and wait for the command to send and receive the acknowledgement).

Only inhibit updates (truck has to be parked and can't be driven while the update is installing) will wait until your scheduled time. If an update can be installed on the fly it will go ahead and install.

More than once I've been going down the interstate and looked at the dash and it said the speed limit was 25. I do not use the automatic speed limit function and never will.

The cellular modem (whatever the module is called) in my 2018 F150 failed and I had to have it replaced at the dealer. It wasn't intermittent, it just stopped working one day and never worked again.
