And yes, a month and a half aside, Ford is making it right. Same as goes with everything, I fought tooth and nail to get to that point… I don’t want to suggest the illusion of ease one bit - zero exaggeration here.

Fair enough, I’m happy to be convinced back into receiving OTA updates automatically. Want to emphasize my suggestion is unqualified.

Update: After a bit of back and forth with Ford Customer Care they agreed to pay $1820.00 of $1936.00 owed for the repair. I’m grateful for the outcome and it’s come at a cost of not having my truck for a month and a half, getting turned away from an absolutely terrible tone def main market...

Update: Capital Ford refused to service my vehicle and I’ve had it towed to another dealer. They gave me some soft line about ‘we want to meet your expectation for service and don’t believe we can’… I asked for screen shots and made suggestions based on expert advice and it was taken as a slight...

Unfortunately, the local Ford dealer took the stance that they’ll happily waive my diagnostic fee and have it ready to be towed to the technician that knows better. I was also advised I should check my app for alerts and I should have bought the extended warranty … did I buy an exotic parrot...

Y’all are incredible - HammaMan (and others) can’t thank you enough! I’ll know more from Ford on Monday.

No I called Ford tech and they passed me some bulletins related to the codes they could pull.

Awesome info - exactly why I came here.

Probably not. Even if you could a 3rd party you’d have to get a dealer to program it more than likely… had a buddy get one and that was his path.

If I have end of having to foot the bill I made find an independent mechanic … I’d prefer my money to go to someone else that has no idea what happened but can fix it.

1FTFW1E57MFC58604 I checked for anything related but only found wiper recall. What’s your curiosity? Thanks for the interest either way.

^ emotions aside - I’m open to hearing it if anyone thinks I’m being irrational.

Good point on the time gap and yes I dealt with sporadic cycles of starting the truck and it running through a cycle of system errors but was able to start it and once started it operated without incident. The reason for the gap was I already had an appt. set for 5/2 for wiper recall and...

Thanks for tagging them. I am absolutely preparing for legal pursuit. I had to request Ford tech to send me an email stating they told me there’s nothing they can do to match the email from Ford dealer stating they don’t know what happened but I will absolutely make both of them recognize there...

Thanks!

4/12/24: I get an auto sw update specifically for gateway module - that same day my truck won't start - I disconnect battery for 20 min reset and it fires right up - I have an appt for 5/2 to fix recall for wiper blades - it dies in a parking lot on 5/1 so I have it towed to local Ford dealer...
