I was told that when the tech puts needed parts/service in the computer, it cross-checks a database of covered parts and the warranty coverage in effect. So I think it's all automated and no one actively decides if it's covered.
My point is that not every auxiliary component is covered under a powertrain or battery warranty. It's not an integral part of the battery or a motor. Like with my Infiniti, the radiator fan is necessary for engine cooling but it wasn't part of the engine itself and thus not covered under the...
I wouldn't expect every part necessary to make the truck drive to be included in a powertrain/battery warranty. You gotta have a good 12v battery but it's not covered. Same thing with various other parts like the ignition switch, etc.
I had an Infiniti and the radiator fan quit. Powertrain...
I'd like to know the rest of the story. It sounds like a dealer tore the truck apart, couldn't figure out what was wrong with it, and it ended up getting bought back and sent to another dealer for repair.
A family member just had the PTC heater fail in his Mach-E. It was intermittent, sometimes it would heat and sometimes it would not. The only symptom was loss of cabin heat. No warnings on the dash. The dealer did a scan and there were lots of trouble codes thrown. The part was on backorder...
Update: I turned off Destination Suggestions but a few days ago navigation guidance started by itself when I turned the truck on. I noticed that Destination Suggestions had turned itself back on.
The problem now is that I will turn suggestions off but it turns itself back on every time I...
I would do everything possible to reach out to Ford - DM them here, call the BEV team, etc. The right people at Ford likely would be very interested in investigating further.
Something that may help them is for you to write down everything you remember about the drive. Even things that were...
Don't pay more than a nominal amount for maintenance. All it needs are tire rotations (which some tire places will do for free) and cabin air filter changes (easy DIY).
I was driving on the interstate, without cruise, and noticed that the truck thought the speed limit was 25. That was enough for me to never turn on speed sign recognition. If I had cruise control active and sign recognition on it could have ended poorly.
There are people who have had their charge port fail and replaced. Statistically it's unlikely to happen again. I don't recall people having to have it replaced multiple times.
The new software will command the parking pawl to reengage if it fails to engage on the initial try. Originally, when it would fail to engage no corrective action was taken. In Ford's testing if it failed to engage the first time it always engaged on a second try. So that's what the software...
Ask the dealer if you can turn in your truck and then they buy it at the lease auction and sell it to you at market value. I don't know if that's possible but I've heard about someone doing it with another make.
