Wise Moderator? I don’t know if I would go that far. 😊 (kidding).
Well, it includes you, too Dean, quite a few folks here that I have learned a lot from. (and If I say so myself . .:crazy: I'm not a dummy)

Oddly enough, my wife was added and had alerts showing from around 5/2 and before (months before we bought the truck). We screenshotted them, and as of today they all have disappeared in her apps history.

Thanks all for your help. I’ll keep everyone posted in case someone comes up with a issue
Sorry to hear that this is happening to y’all. Idk if u were able to reach out to the Ford BEV team or not, but their # is 571-831-5352. Should be able to set u up with a case# & a rental.

Hum, that makes the third phone # I have seen here on the forum for the BEV team. When needed, I WILL try'em all.

They were very helpful when I had issues with my Lightning not charging.

So - Ford has indicated that they will only do 10 days of a rental, $60/day, and it has to be a ford.

I’m 500 miles away with a truckload of stuff and 4 people. Any rental big enough or equivalent to my truck is going to be 3X more expensive, and every rental place I have called has said they cannot guarantee it will be a ford.

also - I have no idea the timeline for the fix on my vehicle… if it’s over 10 days I’m just screwed?

I really just want to return this damn truck and avoid ford from now on.

I’m truly sorry you are having to deal with this, especially being that far away from home.

I would continue to hound Ford for extended rental assistance. If necessary, let them know you will be extraordinarily vocal about your experience.

I fully appreciate your lose of trust in Ford and Ford products.

Best of luck.

Update - now ford BEV has just indicated, after they initially said they would, that they will not ship the vehicle after repair. We called back to confirm (as we didn’t get anything in writing).

She told us “we are not eligible”, and wouldn’t explain why. Also said we cannot speak to a manager.

Ford BEV team is a f***** joke.

Wow, I can’t imagine how ur feeling right now :sadface: I mean going thru all of this normally would be the worst, but being out of town just adds a whole other level.
What Ford dealer is it at?
Have u tried contacting ur insurance company? I know some policies cover trip interruption, but idk if this would fall under that.

Question: Do warnings / alerts such as "powertrain malfunction" show up on an OBD scan? If these alerts are triggered, how do they 'go away'.

So this response is kinda broad, just because I’m not actually at the vehicle. But if an error message populates in ur instrument cluster a DTC should also populate.
Even if the error visually goes away on the dash, a history DTC should be present.
When you scan the vehicle, you can sometimes clear the DTC depending upon which module it’s in, and if the vehicle is running (it shouldn’t be). But even if you “clear it” doesn’t mean that it’s fixed or calibrated.
If ur trying to track the history of DTCs such as with Story Creator in FDRS, did u ever reach out to Mike G?

Update:

selling dealership is basically saying they did nothing wrong, and there was no way they could have identified any issues.

complete BS. The truck has sand in the frame, and they apparently never did a diagnostic scan. Or they did, knew about the issues and sold it anyways. Either way it’s insane that they would claim this.
