My Lemon 2022 F-150 Raptor

To be fair to ford for once, it's not really a ford specific thing. Mechanics never really needed a 2yr degree in CS systems before and when it comes to the advanced electrical "gremlins" in today's vehicles, it hits all of them but tesla. That's mainly because all of tesla's components are their own and their development guys are the best in the biz and have designed a rather straightforward system all in house. Hell most of their cars don't even have an instrument cluster.

This chain of events shouldn't even have been possible as the software shouldn't even have the ability to program a 4" IPC into a 14th gen raptor. The internet is full of such stories from just about every vehicle manufacturer whose tech software is very poorly written. These types of issues first cropped up in video games that were shipped half baked and required substantial updates to work right the first time. Ford did this with bluecruise back in 21. So far the ONLY company that's managed to pull off the half-baked vehicle shipping has been tesla. That's quite unfortunate, their barebones approach to vehicles doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.

@endzone_truck The OP never mentioned that the truck was a canadian build. So when i saw that, It made more sense that the IPC config could get messed up by someone converting it back to US. I didnt "Blame Canada".




What are you talking about?

It still has the fuel system issue They flashed it with Ford Scan and it fixed it. Filled it full once. Then back to the old way. Put 22.571 gallons in it with 58 miles to empty. Any ideas?

Honestly sounds really strange. I'd scope the tank, might be something in it. Only thing that comes to mind is drugs. Never know what bonuses a used vehicle will come with.

Know someone that bought a used vehicle from an auction once. They got pulled over and a K9 found a bunch of drugs in the dash (hidden compartment). They were in a helluva pickle for a minute but their story checked out and it was in-fact a seized/auctioned vehicle full of drugs --- and not the new owners (drugs that is, was his car).

Not sure if you're close to the border, they might inspect it for ya for free. Might call them ahead of time and walk them through suspicions so ya don't end up without a vehicle. If it's got something in it they will be dropping the tank and opening it up to recover them.

On the fuel tank issue, it is possible it's a mechanical issue. It could be a problem with the cap less fill or the evap system. It could also be a vent problem. Something to maybe look at.

They emptied the tank in the 30 days they had it the first time. Took the tank down out of the truck. Checked the float, sensor and venting. Strange that it works just once. I had 641 miles to empty when we picked it up. Any ideas? My friend that worked for GM at the Proving Grounds in Milford, MI said to compare the fuel gauge to the miles to empty. I have an NFC diagnosis!

Get forscan and a OBD adapter. Other than that just take it back to the dealer.

Any ideas as to why even with Forscan, they flash it, works once a reverts back to being screwed up. That’s are issue.

Yeah. They did not fix all the incorrect data in the IPC.

oof -- funny I'd assumed the dealer actually did something they said they did.
Can't blame wrench monkeys for ford's piss poor software support.

DEA & HSI have entered the chat..... ? ?

They had the tank out of the truck. It’s a software issue. They flash it, it works once and reverts to the prior settings. This time I got 22.571 gallons in it with 58 miles to empty. Ford tech support and the dealer have NFC! Going to buy the OBD-II plug from Forscan, download the software and figure it out myself! How sad is that?

Did that. They want to keep it for as long as it takes for them to figure it out. Could be a long time! NFC!
