My truck is on its way back to me through the pickup and delivery service after spending the past 36 hours at the dealer having that done and fixing the retrofitted heated steering wheel that had stopped working. They ordered the part after my truck arrived at the dealership and it was...

I will say that it is very likely a very small number of Lightnings that face issues like these. I have had my '23 Lightning Lariat ER for over a year and have had very few issues (and the ones that I have had have been fixed with a quick disconnect/reconnect of the 12v battery) with it and...

Yup, I totally get all of this. I live in Wisconsin about 1/3 of the year and am in Illinois the rest of the year. I love Kwik Trip, but I had never before noticed one of these little 120v "charging stations" before. I made this post largely in jest. I know that Wisconsin proper has solid plans...

Happened to see this when pulling into a Kwik Trip in Sheboygan. I'm sure glad that I don't actually need a charge or I might be stuck here for a few days... 🤣🤣🤣

My heated steering wheel that was installed about three weeks ago has stopped heating at all. 😭. Guess the truck has a trip back to the dealer in the near future... 😒

Yup, that's the spot for my phone, too. Engineering a solution to put it in that spot that the shifter folds down to just seems like an overly complicated solution.

Yup, same here.

Yup, our Mach-E is always charging because it actually fits in the garage. Unfortunately, the Lightning is stuck on the street and only gets to plug in in the alley behind our house once or twice a week.

Got it! Thanks! Guess I will want to plug in a bit more often when it is so cold and also check to ensure that the battery connections are secure.

Not sure if the extreme cold is the issue or if there is something else going on, maybe even related to my recent accident and subsequent repairs, but I went for a 30-minute drive, then parked for an hour. The weather was - 9°F and a wind chill of about - 20°. When I came back out to the truck...

When you say "they may need to recalibrate the camera" or steering, who is the they that I should count on here? I don't really think that the body shop will have a clue how to do this, so should I ask the Ford dealer? I just don't want to have to pay for service in this situation if this...

In both my Lightning and my Mach-E, the only times that I am asked to put my hands back on the wheel with BlueCruise are when I am going through tolls or when I am on somewhat sharp curves. Other than that, I feel that the hands-free with BlueCruise is quite excellent really. At least up until...

That's strange. I swear that I have never had an experience like that in the Lightning, but it has seemed a bit more erratic since my accident.

Thanks. The camera location is up in the windshield, right?

Hey all, Sanity check needed here. My truck was in a pretty serious accident back in November (see here). I do not really recall the truck ping-ponging (veering from side to side in the lane while driving straight) when using BlueCruise before the accident, but it seems to do it all the time...

Crazy, perhaps, but also, in the city, it is often a necessity. Either take the spot you find or keep driving and hoping you find a spot that will fit the truck 4-5 blocks or more away. I don't normally park in spots that small, but when I have, the cars in front of and behind me have had...

It's a breeze to use and it is AMAZING. Park assist is a life saver for someone whose Lightning does not fit in his garage and he has to park it on Chicago city streets. I have literally fit this truck into parking spots with 2-3 inches left at both ends. The manual tells you how to use it...

While I do not yet have my heated steering wheel installed in my Lightning, this behavior sounds exactly the same as it is in my Mustang Mach-E. I am actually good with it like this. It does warm up and get quite hot at first, but then I find that it eventually stays hot longer than I like to...

Along the lines of the OP's question, my Lightning was in an accident last week and is in the body shop until likely December 11th, so it would be a period of about 4.5-5 weeks without it actually being driven or charged. Should I be asking the body shop to do anything in particular to ensure...

Well, it seems the vehicle is repairable. The estimate is coming in at just under $20,000. Now, since my insurance company does not deal with Diminished Value claims and this would be on the at-fault driver, does anyone know how I go about chasing down Diminished Value from the other driver's...
