Yeah when I worked at the Springfield Caliber & lived in Woodbridge, that 4 leaf clover construction was a mess.
When it was a "simple interchange" back in the day it was easier to navigate but would bog down.

Not it is much more complex and...still bogs down.

Now there are too many vehicles taking too many paths so they can go in two basic directions: north-south and east-west.

What a tangled web they weave when first they practice to relieve traffic jams.

Got the diagnosis from my dealer - fried audio control module due to water intrusion / corrosion. Which of course means it isn't covered by warranty. Another $872 into the truck.

So between repair costs and the hotel / rental we had to get when it died in D.C. we have spent over $4,000 on this less than 3 years old truck that wasn't involved in any accidents or incidents.

Not feeling great about Ford right now....

Did you contact the BEV team to see if they would help with the expenses from the trip when the truck died?

I did, they would not. They did point me at the extended warranty I have which will cover some of the rental costs (max of $450). That hasn't processed through yet, but I removed it from the total.

What was the root cause of water intrusion, moonroof drainage ?

Unknown at this time. They tried to claim leakage from the dash area (i.e. spilled drink), but I have never had a drink or any liquid up there. The only liquid I can think is from the sunroof and other roof leaks I have had.
