Request VIN Lookup Thread

Definitely ready to not drive this death trap they call a service loaner anymore and get back into my truck after 87 days.

LOL, my truck was at the dealer in early 22 for a month! I think that, that's the same Pinto that they gave me! Hopefully they did the exploding gas tank recall before you got it! ?

Up in Canada, this is what they give for loaners. This one needs a flat repair....lol

@rugedraw are you able to see why the new update keeps failing? I suspect bad battery but of course when I went for 30k service "oh it's fine".

Need something to put pressure on them with and obviously failing updates is a good one.

Thanks so much

Battery, battery and lastly, battery. Capacity is being recorded at 25 and it should be 70 with the OEM battery. Voltage is at 11 instad of 12, and SoC is at 43% instead of 80%-100%.

Outstanding. This is what I need to get a new battery from the dealer.

Not really. In order for warranty to cover the battery replacement, there is process that must be followed. It requires the dealer performing a Rotunda battery test which takes 2-3 hours. If the test fails, warranty will cover the battery.

I posted this in another thread without seeing this thread first. I'll head over and update my other thread shortly.

Purchased my truck in late December (20th-ish).

Trying to learn as much as I can about the OTA status and other updates that it did or should have received.

VIN 1FTFW1EDXPFA05126

Thank you so much for help.

Well. This should get them to at least test it. I'm not convinced at all that they did any battery testing when I took it for the 30k service despite me explicitly calling it out and asking for it. "Yeah it tested good"... Baloney.

@rugedraw Having issues with the 4.3.4 update. Wondering if you could take a look at where I’m at. Thanks!

It failed many times due to unsatisfactory battery condition. OTA like this one that require the vehicle to be inhibited have a 30 day timer to install. Once the 30 days are reached, the OTA trigger expires and you have to wait for it to be resent to your truck. In your case, the OTA trigger expired on 11/26 so you can ignore the message you are seeing on your truck. There is nothing you can do now but wait for it to be resent to you.

Awesome. Seems like a common issue. Thanks for the help!

Very common. When an OTA that requires the vehicle to be inhibited fails, 99% of the time it is due to the battery.

Numerous threads on here about batteries and you'll get run around by dealer not wanting to do warranty battery replacement. Less headache to just get the biggest aftermarket battery that will fit and move on. H8 for non-Powerboost and H7 for Powerboost. A good battery and your truck should have no issues with OTA battery failures.

If they hassle me yeah, I'll just suck it up and do that. What a joke though about junk batteries being OEM...
