  3. 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning only Charging to 78%

    The 22 days was addressed in a SSM 52039 from Ford about November 2023 and is not unusual and well known. I am just surprised & disappointed at the 78% level. There is no known downside to the life of the truck. The loss of 20% of range to the customer for what may be a couple of weeks when...
  4. Battery Replacement Module Survey ??

    I just reviewed your past posts and I can see why your frustrated with your truck. Ford has had QC issues building our great truck, but their battery supplier issues are the most serious. I would say some of your frustration comes from your dealer's failure to communicate clearly, and do the...

  6. 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning only Charging to 78%

    If failure to complete a necessary balancing procedure is the cause of this issue, it seems to be malpractice instead of more latitude....
  7. Safety Program: 25S18 aka 25V131: HV Battery Electrode Misalignment Discussion

    Were you notified recently you are in the 25S18 program? Please keep us posted how your dealer handles this issue, first time I have read about poor reassembly. Ford has all the previous battery history of your truck from it's VIN.
  8. "Vehicle in Battery Saver Mode" Please drive

    Yes. Try letting the truck "run" for 90 minutes or so, that is turn off the power down timer, leave a fob in it and see if your 12v battery issue stops, at least for awhile. There has been discussion about whether the LVB is charged while the truck is on a level 2 charger.
  9. "Vehicle in Battery Saver Mode" Please drive

    In the past this message often had to do with a weak 12v battery, or with something left plugged into the truck.
  10. New route-finding application

    Lost me with the high security sign in process for software I probably don't need .... For me an introductory trial addition should be easier, then later the actual software will need all the sign in safety ...
  11. Lightning won't charge: fix post 24

    There were issues with some of the early charging adapters where one of the small communication pins were "too short". So a failed, or loose, connection in the trucks charging port with a communication pin could suddenly stop the ability to charge. But the shop should be able to quickly...

    Have you monitored with a scanner to confirm if all battery conditions remain the same? Just trying to eliminate all possible other causes ...
  13. Slight Reduction In Acceleration. Has Anyone Else Experienced This Issue.

    Have you tested the acceleration using all of the driving modes? Same results?
  14. Safety Program: 25S18 aka 25V131: HV Battery Electrode Misalignment Discussion

    Sorry to hear about the charge port issue, seems strange it came up after they took everything apart and reassembled... But that charge port issue has been a problem for several folks here. From page 18 of the Warranty: (2) The high voltage battery and eDrive systems of your vehicle are...
  15. Recall king = Repair cost after warranty?

    Extracare ($100 deductible) with $450 lighting option, 8 year, 100k miles which will expire 5/30/31 or 100k miles whichever comes first. I have no experience with your other questions. The following is what Ford declares is NOT covered:
  16. Recall king = Repair cost after warranty?

    Wow, such a depressing video, I couldn't finish it. Not my experience, so I can't comment on its truthful and factual basis. To your question I don't think anyone knows the answer yet. With the issues we read about in this forum, I had no hesitation to buy my first extended service contract...
  17. Ford CEO expects EV sales to be cut in half after US tax credits end today

    This is the key. The F150 truck has been so universal in capability the public for decades have used it to do any and everything well. Those versions of the F150 are still available, but the battery driven model is a more specific tool that excels in may ways, but is limited in some. Those...
  18. Powertrain Malfunction/ Reduced Power

    Please keep us posted. What year is your lightning?
  19. Battery Preconditioning how does it work?

    One big advantage of always plugging in while at home is the ability to hit the start button and gain 10% more battery if a unexpected trip out of town comes up. Or the morning is colder than you expected, just do a remote start using the grid power to warm up the cabin. If we are home, it...
