I have a 2023 F150 Lightning Lariat trim. Less than 4K miles. I don't drive it a lot -- about once or twice per week. Twice in the last two months, the LVB has died (throwing lots of error codes) and I needed to recharge the LVB to bring the vehicle back to life. The weather here in Atlanta has been warm, but not overly hot.
I've taken it to the dealership both times, and while they do their best to fix it, they are telling me that the basic problem is that I don't drive the truck often enough. I don't think this explanation is plausible, particularly sitting on a 131 kWh HVB. The practical implication is that I can't take it to the airport and park it while on vacation without concerns that the LVB will be dead when I return. This could easily turn into a safety concern. The truck is coming back from the dealership tomorrow with a new LVB, but I'm not optimistic that they have solved the problem. We'll see.
Has this happened to anybody else? Any other fixes I should advise the dealership to try if this continues? @Ford Motor Company, any suggestions?
