  1. New Owner Intro, 24 Flash

    Oh, yeah then you're getting the full experience. I gave up after the 3rd time.

  2. New Owner Intro, 24 Flash

    Now you're finally part of the Lightning owners club. Enjoy a mediocre dealer experience, the possibility of a rental car, a new shifter/battery module/or computer, and not having your vehicle for between 2 days and a month.

  3. Sunroof leak

    Mine never leaked in the first 2 years, so that's a positive. On the other hand, the middle tension bar rattled and was replaced, the roller shade jumped track, the accordion pieces that cover the mechanism came off about every 90 days because they're held on with the same hope that Ford used...

  4. NHTSA Recall - Loss of Steering from Front Control Arm Separation (Impacting certain 2023 to 2024 builds)

    Do none of you "truck people" own a torque wrench? Set it to 45ft-lbs and go find out. If its loose, make an appointment at the dealer. If its missing... make an appointment at the dealer.

  5. Charging error (All 5 segments turn RED) HVB Module failure

    BECM is the Battery Energy Control Module. Either it died of unnatural causes, or it got turned into a paperweight doing the software update from the CSP (oh no, an acronym! Customer Satisfaction Program). Either way... not ideal, but not terrible.

  7. 2023 Lightning ER dead at dealer for 6 weeks...

    To add, there's also a sizable cash appeasement in lieu of repurchase to try and right the situation while keeping you in the vehicle. I think I was initially offered $16,000 for the ongoing battery issues in mine. As a rough number for conversation purposes.

  8. 2023 Lightning ER dead at dealer for 6 weeks...

    Even more reason to start the buyback process. I'd imagine if the 6+ weeks is illegitimate, Ford will likely have mechanisms in place to deal with dealers that tarnish their reputation. You'd be doing everyone a favor.

  9. Charging error (All 5 segments turn RED) HVB Module failure

    Highly Volted Battery Juicing Beasts for the Jet Surgeon

  10. Charging error (All 5 segments turn RED) HVB Module failure

    I think you're right in that sweet spot for them to start happening. 5-25k miles it feels like

  11. Frunk issue and dealer replaced body panels incorrectly

    Bring it back and get a loaner while they work on it. Clocks on them. At 30 total days in service, initiate a buyback. They'll offer to cut you a check for appeasement in lieu of the repurchase. You can then pick a path forward. After enough of these, Ford might actually change something. Until...

  12. OTA update not installing - "Vehicle battery is low"

    Must not be much of a priority...

  13. Red Truck Icon of Doom and Stop Safely Now {Fixed Post #24}

    Wait 30 days, then transfer it back to Ford as a lemon. The beauty of buying CPO in CA....

  14. Software update - If it ain't broke, don't fix it {fixed post#32}

    This experience is par for the course, not an outlier. Hopefully that helps to level set expectations going forward.

  15. Stop safely…Front motor service needed

    Hi ho. Hi ho. It's straight to the dealer we go.

  16. Software update - If it ain't broke, don't fix it {fixed post#32}

    That ChatGPT written email would go right to my Junk Mail folder.

  17. 2025 bricked at 1000 miles {fix post 36}

    Sounds like he got a "Not My Job" truck.

  18. Walk away Lock

    Ford giveth. And Ford taketh away. (Sometimes with $100 credit for feature delete)

  19. Forward Sensing feature missing - window sticker error. Any luck getting Ford to install it?

  20. Safety Program: 25S18 aka 25V131: HV Battery Electrode Misalignment Discussion
