Same boat here. I filed for Buyback recently. Since I’ve owned the truck starting 7/18 of last year I’m coming up on 2.5 months in the shop. First shifter took 2 weeks. Battery module 7 took 3.5 weeks and now my second shifter replacement and it’s been at the shop for going on 30 days. It sucks because I love to Azure Gray but I’m just done with this truck.
Man that blows. What state are you in?

Arizona. Yeah it really does. I ordered the trim piece for the dial conversion but our guy on Etsy is backed up quite a bit on orders.
Look into the Lemon Law in your state a grab an attorney that deals in it. I’m in California and have been thru 3 buy backs so I’m vaguely familiar but check your state

The battery module issue sounds shitty but I feel like the shifter is an easy fix we can do ourselves. Just sucks we have to pay for a rotary knob while the truck is under warranty.

Yeah man, I’m with ya. I haven’t had any issues with my shift as yet but went ahead and ordered the parts to do the swap.

Funny I comment in this thread today. Ford RAV got back to me and accepted my claim. We will be working on a solution. Super pleased with their response on this so far

Congrats sir!

I ordered the Manion Makes tub and an eBay shifter... My dash wrench is on pretty much continuously these days. I had one episode where the shifter was stuck in 'D' with the flashing light, couldn't get it to move. After much swearing & frustration, I gave the truck (and myself) a cool-down period. When I came back, the shifter moved itself into 'P' and has worked since (aside from the wrench light).

Has switching to the rotary shifter eliminated the dash wrench and error code?

Just got my new shifter installed by the dealer today. They got the part in yesterday. Its feels a lot different. No play in the shifter like before.

Do you think they’ve actually changed it to be more reliable?
