Dash 'separating' over instrument panel?

[ErichKeane]

I can't go into the dealer for a bit longer (my wife's car is in the shop for something ELSE for the next week+ at least, and she needs a car every day, so has stolen my Lightning) , but I noticed the other day that the seam between the top of the dash and the plastic liner in front of the instrument panel plastic is separating.

Anyone else have this problem? Is this something that happens enough on the ICE trucks that they'll figure it out?

My "To-complain-about-list" for the dealer is getting somewhat long these days :/

I haven't observed this, but the front of the front speaker grill is bowing up, creating an arch on mine.

Yep, I have this as well :/ Got a feeling my local dealer is going to have to order a bunch of parts for me.

Another one I noticed, the rear bumper plastic is 'sagging' in the middle under the tailgate.

Pictures?…….please

I second the notion that you should post pics of your gripes.

Hi there. This panel concern doesn’t sound like something we want you to experience with your F-150 Lightning. Could you please send us a PM with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer? I'd be happy to look into how I can assist you on my end.

Based on the consensus I believe that it is performing as designed.

I have some quick-set epoxy that says it can be fixed.

Probably a better fix than when the brake warning light went on intermittently on my 94 Integra. Black electrical tape fixed that problem (code said right rear wheel abs speed sensor). Sometimes I had abs, usually I didn't. That was OK in ohio (school) but would not be acceptable in Vermont. Thank goodness the fuel lines rusted out before the brake lines. Gas smells like something, brake fluid not so much.

Yep, I have exactly that problem too!


THIS is the one I'm talking about though:

I took my Hyundai back to the dealership for so many problems that they told us we weren’t welcome to bring our car in for service anymore even though we have lifetime oil changes. I’m hoping I don’t get kicked out of the Ford dealership service dept For what appears to be many things I am going to have to have fixed based on what I‘m seeing on the Lightning
