Feb 2024 I bought a buyback (e.g., lemon title) 2022 Lightning Platinum from Capitol Ford in Charlotte, NC. I bought it sight unseen (other than internet pics) up in northern Virginia. I have zero regrets. I love the truck. All the issues I've had with it are minor and were fixed under warranty.
I'm sorry brother. This really stinks. And I apologize for all the people above saying you, not the truck, is the problem. For a lot of people here, the Lightning (or EVs in general) is their hobby and way of life. It's definitely NOT for me. The reasons you have detailed, are the reasons I do...
I LOVE my Lightning, but would NEVER own soley EVs. I have a Platinum (obviously ER) and the range during the winter is a joke. The heat kills the range, I mean kills it. I'll drive a round-trip 30 miles, no faster than 65mph (mostly driving under 50) but with the heat on. Sorry, my wife wants...
I can speak exactly to your question. This past February I bought a 2022 Lightning Platinum from Capital Ford, AND it was a lemon/buy back. I never saw the truck in person until it was delivered. Because of the lemon title I got it at a great price. I love it. I've had minimum problems with it...
I disagree entirely. I have a 2022 Platinum. I live in Northern VA (near DC). Temps have been in the 20's. Keeping the heat at 72, driving between 50-55 miles an hour I can watch the GOM range drop 1-3 miles per minute, averaging about 1.6 M/KW. Heat is a HUGE draw on the range. Driving in the...
I noticed this sound shortly after buying the truck and getting it home back in February. If I park the truck, turn it off, but remain in the truck a very loud POP comes out of all the speakers, even though the truck is off. It will continue to pop every 1 to 1 and-a-half minutes as long as I...
Has anyone noticed the SOC is now displayed on the dash? I just noticed it a few days ago.
I'm trying to post a pic of my dash but can't figure out how to attach the pic from my phone. Doesn't seem to work.
Ryan, I was looking at your photo with the hill in front of the Lightning and I thought, "That looks kind of like California. I wonder where this guy's from?" Then I checked your name and status and saw you are in Cali. Nice. That's where I'm from.
Is there something saying only the SR are getting the heat pump and not ERs? I have a '22 ER and in the northern VA winters here I can literally watch the range decrease by (almost) the second when using the heater. Using the A/C barely makes a dent in the range. If I understand correctly, the...
I noticed the passenger factory running board is beginning to peel. It's a 2022. I don't have 32K miles yet so I suppose I should get this fixed while still under warranty.
I found the above reboot process online and sent it to her. She did it and it did resolve the problem. Very odd, but good to know this is an F-150 issue and not unique to the Lightning.
Any updates on this thread? My wife just got out of our Lightning and the radio won't turn off. It's stuck on and the clock is frozen to when she turned the car off. She's tried everything to get it fixed. I'm at work and can't do anything about it right now.
I hate them! I don't need it beeping, chirping, or trying to keep me in a lane when I'm changing lanes (Yes, I know it won't do this if I signal first, but usually I just turn off the lane assist feature).
Yes it was, before I purchased it. I meant to include that in my post but forgot.
Either way it didn't matter as I don't want my car doing any driving for me. I turn off all those bells and whistles when I drive it. My wife likes them on.
