  1. Got a Lemon.... Make Lemonade?

    I am going to do the paperwork a sign over the car to Ford today. I purchased a 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali. I wouldn't say I like it. I regret not buying another Ford but the bad taste and the lack of good financing really swayed me away. I really got spoiled by the heated steering wheel...
  2. Got a Lemon.... Make Lemonade?

    Well, yesterday I was going to breakfast - and a new driver backed out in front of me, while I was driving my loaner so it's pretty badly damaged. I took it as an omen and signed the paperwork to do the buyback. I need to get out of this nightmare from start to finish.
  3. Got a Lemon.... Make Lemonade?

    I didn't have high expectations from the Explorer but its much larger than those in the past. I think it drives fine but its a 4 banger so it doesn't have a lot of pick up when you need to merge with traffic. I thought about getting a bronco but most dealers are pigs again. Ford RAV doesn't...
  4. Got a Lemon.... Make Lemonade?

    they asked to close the case. I said its hard for me to make a decision based on the fact that we have to fix something and then redo it to see if it even corrected the problem.
  5. Got a Lemon.... Make Lemonade?

    Thanks for the kind words. I didn't really think I would be a guinea pig - I am no dissatisfied with the explorer really - what is interesting is that this isn't a super high trim explorer and it has distance based cruise control where others charge a huge premium for it to get you to reach for...
  6. Got a Lemon.... Make Lemonade?

    If it wasn't for bad luck I would have no luck at all! The dealer replaced several modules on my truck and re-assembled. The one module won't take firmware - its corrupt. Ford has instructed them to replace it again. In order to do so they have to drop the battery pack again :(
  7. Got a Lemon.... Make Lemonade?

    Service Manager told me I am NOT one of the 100 people affected by the latest bulletin by ford but I suspect there are actually more than 100. Still working with Ford on the buy-back. I think ultimately I am going to leave the Ford family. The product has less, costs more, and I am just not...
  8. Got a Lemon.... Make Lemonade?

    its not that i am not giving them a chance? They have had it 5 weeks now with really nothing changed. The service manager insists he can fix it and I believe they can - once they know whats wrong with it. The problem is that without a definitive way to replicate the problem its forever lurking...

    There is one in VA that will sell for sticker. The problem is its not super close - not super far - but the price increase and rates stink.
  10. Got a Lemon.... Make Lemonade?

    So the dealership in Va will sell me the platinum for sticker. The problem is it's a 2023 - and 5k more. So I have to transport the truck, pay 5k more, and finance that 5k more at a higher rate which is already 2,000 dollars more than what I was originally paying! Also the 2023 has less stuff...
  11. Got a Lemon.... Make Lemonade?

    I wonder if I am one of the 100 OR if I am one of many who hasn't been identified yet? https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2023/02/17/ford-f-150-lightning-power/69915555007/ I emailed the service manager because I don't know if they might not have contacted me given its in the shop?
  12. Got a Lemon.... Make Lemonade?

    I just read the headline to my wife and it said "Ford halts production of electric F-150 because of" and she jumped in "because of you?" :)

  14. Got a Lemon.... Make Lemonade?

    Its a buyback situation now. I have met the lemon law criteria. 20 business days in the shop. Last Friday was 4 weeks so 5x4 = 20.
  15. Got a Lemon.... Make Lemonade?

    So been battling with Ford to get them the information and they said they called the dealer but the dealer never heard from them - sigh. I finally got them all together. The service manager is on vacation so the guy covering for him called me. I nearly lost my stuff. I asked him how is my...
  16. Got a Lemon.... Make Lemonade?

    ive been looking at Sierra Denali's. There is a dealer here with one on the lot- its not a ultimate but I am considering it. I miss my raptor - if I get a 2023 I get no heated steering wheel. I wonder do Raptors have blue cruise?
  17. Got a Lemon.... Make Lemonade?

    yeah all the while im driving a base explorer and paying for gas and paying interest on my loan - YAY!
  18. Got a Lemon.... Make Lemonade?

    Well thats just it who knows? Not even the dealer its information that FSE's have with their super duper tools. It seems like a minuscule drop - but they are replacing just about everything that monitors that voltage as well as that black of cells.
  19. Got a Lemon.... Make Lemonade?

    So the service manager called me and they found a problem in a cell and some other parts. Parts are 4 to 6 days but it sounds like a cell needs to be replaced and the availability isn't quite clear. Waiting to hear back. Just a couple hours later the rep at ford replied that my buy back was...
  20. Got a Lemon.... Make Lemonade?

    Yes this is like reviews. People who are most pissed off will leave bad reviews for a restaurant or anything. I have to say I love my truck when it works and when I was confident in it. Getting stranded 2 times in 30 days isn't fun for anyone. I was excited to get it back this past time they...
