According to Ford’sCustomer Service Program (CSP) 23B57 “Less than 4% of the affected vehicle population is expected to require one or more high voltage battery modules needing to be replaced.” At the time this program was announced (September 13, 2023) Ford stated that 36,611 F-150 BEV were...

I use PlugShare to plan out in advance my route, charging stops, and where the chargers are near my overnight hotel stops (if the hotel doesn’t have a charger). It works better for me than ABRP. It tells me whose chargers are available as well as other amenities (food, restrooms, etc) at the...

The usual symptom of a battery module(s) failure is the yellow wrench of death icon appears just below and to the right of the speedometer. A warning message appears warning to service the vehicle soon, and when plugged in to charge all the lights around the charging light circle turn red At...

I bought my ‘22 Lariat ER in August, 2023. It was formerly a dealership mannequin with 5,000 miles on it when I acquired it. It now has 25,000 miles. The only issue I have had with mine is that two battery modules modules failed, one at 11,000 miles and the second at 22,000 miles. Other...

Occasionally I have experienced the same lack of audio in my ‘22 Lariat using my iPhone 16. I connect the iPhone to the truck using Bluetooth. It seems to occur most frequently if I am in a hurry to go when I start the truck. If I patiently wait for about 30 seconds for everything to boot up...

Seriously, you need a different dealer to service your vehicle.

Sounds like they are having to reprogram parts of the charging system to accommodate the new charging port parts. This can sometimes take many hours of a tech’s time.

WOW!

Be sure to check the service history of the ‘22 for any battery module replacements. Battery module failures appear to be more frequent on ‘22 and ‘23 MY Lightnings.

Ordinarily I do not go for extended warranties either. My philosophy has been the best insurance is making sure the vehicle gets it recommended maintenance. In the case of my last ICE F-150 that meant oil changes and tire rotation every 5000 miles as well as everything else Ford recommends...

Ford will not sell you an extended warranty on a Lightning battery. I called and asked. It seems that after the 8 year/100,000 mile warranty ends you are on your own if a battery module needs replacement. While 8 years/100,000 miles seems long, I think most ICE F-150s have life expectancies...

I have put Lewis Ford on my Dealer to Avoid At All Cost (DAAAC) list.

Losing three (3) battery modules (and all at once) certainly trumps the two I have lost over 20k miles and 20 months. It’s a common and well documented issue. What we don’t know is how likely are the remaining original battery modules to fail before the end of the 8 year/100,000 mile battery...

Whatever the final outcome on the initial repair, find a new dealer. Your dealer’s incompetence is mind boggling.

If on Blue Cruise or assisted cruise control, my truck gives me a chime if either is interrupted by road conditions. For example, one section of a 2 lane I frequently drive on has a series of S-turns in which assisted cruise control is temporarily suspended. As the cruise control is suspended...

It looks like your truck is a tad bit too long for that parking garage space. 😊

One thing I have not seen listed among the pros and cons lists here is towing capacity. The Lariats have a higher towing capacity than the Platinums, and this was important to me. I agree that the sound system on the Platinums is (to my ears) is better.

Before taking off on a road trip, check to make sure you can charge the battery (level 2 is ok) without generating an error. One sign of a battery module problem is an inability to charge and the charging indicator ring turning red (instead of blue or white). If that happens, take an ICE and...

NL3Z-10D672-E Is one of the first eight battery modules. Eight @$4562.85 is $36,502.96. What is the part number for module #9 (the front one)? This could get expensive…
