Just got my 2022 F-150 Lightning back after 90 days:

2 Modules were bad
The coolant system failed a pressure test so some components needed replaced.

The first module pallet that arrived to my dealer was damaged so that's what took so long.

Happy to have my truck back!

Cheers

Small update. Dealership pushed our appointment back for three weeks (dropped off Monday, was originally scheduled for July 7). No explanation, but I don't mind since the truck was perfectly drivable, hopefully it was to order parts (but I'm also a realist). When I dropped it off he was still saying they would need to inspect it before ordering modules.

Got a loaner, 25 F150 Hybrid, it's nice but not a Lightning, also, that transmission shifts like a drunk when it's cold. The brake booster is also super noisy when it's in EV mode. Makes me appreciate the Lightning all that much more. The familiar ding while backing up is mildly comforting though.

I know Ford only pays loaner for three days, but my rental paperwork said 4 days, which is today. Definitely not encouraged by the updates I've seen here, your trucks being gone for multiple weeks! Seems like Ford really does their best to make the process quick and well documented, only for the dealers to literally not follow what's written in the process.
I'm thankful my dealer gives me one of their courtesy cars to drive whenever they need to keep my lightning. This is the sign of a great dealer, Dahl Ford, Davenport, Iowa.
