Make sure your cc info is up to date for plug and charge if that's what you are using. I haven't had this issue, but that could be one thing to check on your end.

When a tangent discussion grows to the point of spanning multiple pages and correspondents it becomes messy to untangle without hatcheting the entire thread.

Please stick to the concerns of the OP, thank you very much for your attention.

Here's your message with corrected grammar:

My 2023 Ford Lightning is not charging for me. I had it towed to the dealership. They put it on their charger and said it was just fine. After having my truck for a week, I picked it up and almost ran out of energy because it wouldn’t charge at any station. I had it towed back in. The same thing happened; they said they did resets and updated the system with no charging problems at the dealership, then sent it back home.

The third time, I ran low on charge, and I was at 100 miles trying to find charging stations that worked—Level 2 and Level 3 stations like Evo and Gravity were a no-go. I took it to a different dealership, and they changed the battery, then sent it home. The truck did the same thing again. I took it back to the dealership, and they called Ford; now they don’t know what to do. The dealership and Ford are confused, but I have 29,000 miles on it, so I can’t get another one. I hate this truck . The dealership took I was lying. Until it wouldn’t on there blue oval network
Going out on a limb here that your truck's DCFC pin may be stuck. Suggest trying this - and if it works you're good.
