In a way it is per issue if there's an issue that isn't covered. You have to pay whatever fees they charge for something not covered just as though you didn't have a warranty. And if something is covered you have one deductible per visit no matter how many covered issues there are. I would...

The 12v may not be covered under the extended warranty but the way the dealer is handling it seems fishy. My understanding is that when they prepare an estimate the system automatically checks for a Ford warranty (factory or extended). If it's covered under the extended warranty the invoice...

I have a 2022. I signed for the free year extension that was offered awhile ago. Now I'm seeing a 3 year free extension when my original 3 year trial expires.

You obviously won't be able to get a new one in a year, but buying a used one is a smart move if you like the truck and want to get an ER one at the end of your lease. Depreciation has been heavy on these trucks and you can get a great deal. There are many cars out there that have poor resale...

From the recall documentation: The IPMs (NL38-7P236-*, PZ18-7P236-*) on affected motors will receive an SOBDMC software update. The software update will provide for unbinding of the IPM slider in the event the condition occurs allowing park to be engaged. My understanding, based on the...

I doubt it. There's just no money to be made. It would be a huge development and manufacturing cost and the trucks may need modifications to the battery management controls and architecture. It would be far more expensive than just getting replacement modules from Ford.

That makes sense, when they first shut the line down it was going to be temporary. When they decided to shut it permanently they probably restarted to use up parts that were already staged or committed from suppliers in excess of what they need for parts stock.

I read a story about a guy who turned in his leased BMW, got the dealer to buy it at the lease auction, and then sell it to him at the current fair market value (which was far less than the residual). The car never left the dealer's lot.

Some local news here isn't reporting the split accurately, they are suggesting that SK On is taking ownership of the entire Blue Oval City complex in TN. They are only taking the battery plant that is on the site. The vehicle assembly plant at BOC remains Ford owned. The decision makes sense...

I wonder if this is a Pinto situation. If Ford changed the cruise engagement operation it would be implied admission of a design defect that could expose them to liability for unintended acceleration incidents. I haven't tested the cruise theory, but just by reading other's accounts I'm not...

I just thought of a nav option that would give me very high confidence in letting it pick a route for me. Have a filter to only include stations that live data confirms availability and also let you choose a threshold of number of available chargers. For example, you tell it to only route you...

My Lightning is my first EV/hybrid. Before that I had an ICE F150. Before that a long list of vehicles starting with a 1986 Honda Accord hatchback. I'm a techie guy and always had an interest in EVs. When the Lightning came out Ford was giving test drives at a local auto show. I was driving...

Keep in mind there are two separate recalls. The document Mike G posted are instructions for Recall #1 (note the recall number at the top). Ford went ahead and updated the instructions for the first recall so that it can be performed correctly for any trucks that haven't had it done yet. The...

The procedure posted above is for recall #1. It calls for replacement of the lightbar, and the procedure updates (in red) make it clear that the new one is to be installed with plastic push pins. That procedure will only be performed if the truck never had recall #1 done. The second recall is...

I wouldn't worry too much for now. We'll know for sure when they publish the recall #2 procedure. If it says to replace the bar if it's installed with screws then you're good. I don't think Ford is taking any chances, a second recall for the same thing is bad, a third would be really bad...

So if you got a new lightbar from recall #1, will you automatically get a new lightbar for recall #2, or will you only get one if they see that it was installed using screws and/or shows signs of cracks or water? My guess is that if it was installed with push pins they will give it a pass since...

And we enjoy you being the one employed. We appreciate your dedication, sincerity, and humor. Too often corporate customer service seems like a battle between rival teams. You make it feel like you care and are looking out for us. As a result we respect you and understand the limits of what...

The T3 is a whole new truck designed from the ground up to be an EV. It's not an F150 retrofit like the Lightning. So I expect it to differ from the ICE F150 a fair bit more than the Lightning since it won't be based off it.

How much does a windshield cost that it's worth filing an insurance claim? Your Ford dealer contracts out with a glass company. Even if you go straight to a glass company, if they can't do calibrations they will take it to the dealer.

T3 is F150 size. Universal EV is Maverick (not Ranger) size. I asked someone with first-hand knowledge about the sizes and that is what they told me. The only other thing I got was that the T3 "looks good."
