I was told by my dealership that it was the consumers fault, not Ford’s, as Ford just provides what the consumer wants and it’s not their fault that the battery can’t handle it. Using this logic if Ford gives me a full size spare because I hate the tiny spare, and there’s no longer room for a...
Since we're on the subject of dashcams, front and/or rear, let's talk about the elephant in the room. With all of the cameras Ford has on these trucks, why the heck don't they record, and offer access to the recordings, just like the access Tesla owners have? Clearly, the technology is there...
Took me a while to get this figured out as the manual is not clear. Aside from the 2 full-on positions, there are four "notches" prior. The first has a single raindrop which is the less sensitive rain-sensing setting, then two dashes (short and long) which are purely intermittent wiper settings...
An occasional annoying rattle that seems to only happen during a certain temperature range. Naturally, it's fine when I'm at the dealership. :rolleyes:
I have several areas that I tend to drive that have the same issue. For the most part, as long as I'm paying attention (as I always am;)) I'm ready to disengage before anything dramatic happens. Yes, it can be not very pleasant but I look at it this way, all the safety features just might save a...
My dealer called me a few weeks ago to tell me they had the part (for a while apparently) so I needed to come in or they had to return it. Seems that the person who should have contacted me was on medical leave and no one else followed up. Had no issues prior to the fix.
I've had my 2022 King Ranch since Aug 22. During the first 4-5 months I've had several gremlins, some minor, some loud and startling. What I can say is that the past 3 months have been free of any issues (now I've jinxed it!). So it appears with time, the many issues that just needed software...
This issue started 4 days ago. For those of you who've driven a 4-wheel drive at slow speeds while turning, my description of the issues may make more sense. Started backing out of my driveway and as soon as I turned the wheel there was a noticeable shuddering coming from what appeared to be the...
It's been a while since this "gremlin" came out and it scared the s*** out of the wife last night. For the 4th time (the last was 2 months ago), when starting the truck, there was a horn-like sound briefly coming from behind the back seat followed by an eardrum-shattering loud electric cracking...
Snakebitten, What exactly (brand, model, and where did you buy) are you using to get the above info? I'd like to do the same and want to be sure I get the right hardware. Nice choice of truck BTW, I also have a 2022 King Ranch.
Could be as the wife was seeing it from an angle. It would be a great feature and the tech is already in place. Auto high beams already sense oncoming traffic, why not sense vehicles at dusk/dawn that are driving without lights and give a flash?
New gremlins or poltergeist to report!
Just moments ago…..running lights came on and the vehicle is parked/off. I was at least 15 yards away, no one else close by, sitting at a camping site enjoying the evening. Only way to resolve was to turn headlight from auto to off, twice. Lights went off...
Driving my 2022 King Ranch at dusk yesterday. Several oncoming cars failed to turn on their headlights, so as a courtesy, I turned my headlights off and on twice to remind them. As my focus was on traffic and not the dash, my wife noticed a message pop up stating “Press OK to auto flash your...
Clearly, it's a case of implied requirements. Per the 2022 manual, it's recommended that I use:
Materials
Name
Specification
Motorcraft® SAE 5W-30 Synthetic Blend Motor Oil
XO-5W30-Q1SP
WSS-M2C961-A1
This may be the type there's a shortage of. Certainly, the rest about not being able...
Just hit 1000 miles on my 2022 King Ranch Hybrid. I've been having a variety of infrequent moments in which the poltergeists like to mess with me so I thought I would share and see if anyone else is having as much fun with them as I am. Visited the service department yesterday as they felt there...
Had a friendly chat with our local Ford Service Manager yesterday while looking into some minor issues with my 2022 F-150 Hybrid. Because of the uniqueness of the oil requirements for the PowerBoost hybrid (the oil has diesel specs), he reported that they cannot find the correct oil (in bulk) to...
1 - Alarm Motion detection went off randomly one night (so far).
2 - A/C is lame (strength and coolness). My 2013 F-350 A/C blows away the brand new F-150 in this department (pun intentional).
3 - The power steering wheel failed to return to the preset position when the truck was started (one...
