My 2023 XLT SR with 35k miles has been at my local dealership for a month. The last day I drove it I had charged to 100 percent. I had a day full of errands to run. It started with a visit to the vet. My 8 year old tagged along and we stopped at his school playground on the way home for him to play for a few minutes. When we tried to leave I got the Stop safely now message. After towing it to the dealership and sitting for a week they said it was the gear shift module. Seemed odd to me that that would be it. Took a while but when they got the part and installed it sure enough that wasn’t it. They last claimed Ford needs to “push something” to it. All BS I think. I’m not sure what it is but it has me thinking I’m done with this truck. I’m almost out of warranty and wary of having issues like this down the line. *besides the fact that I borrowed a car for almost two weeks before they had a loaner. I just want my damn truck back. The longer and harder it is to diagnose this makes me more and more hesitant to keep it.
I should add. I’ve had numerous incidents where I had to disconnect the negative battery cable to reset the truck. This latest issue would not clear after several times disconnecting the battery cable. I had one incident that I had the whole family in the truck, we had just put our 15 year old dog down and were on our way home on the Garden State Parkway (an 80-85 mph road, if you’re not familiar) when the truck gave me the Stop Vehicle now message. I disconnected the battery and everything restarted fine. I hate to think it or say it but I might have met my limit. *it is an odd occurrence that both of the above mentioned issues happened on days I went to the vet.
