What's maddening about this is that Ford a) refused to cover fail lightbars under extended warranty with light package and b) refused to say that a second failure was part of the original issue. Now, they have another recall on their tally list.
Just had my tires balanced and rotated by DT. Been going there for 47 years except when we lived where they didn't have coverage. Had some bumps in the past, so I call ahead and ensure that a manager is overseeing the work, and the floor lead is the only one that touches the vehicle. Today...
That is why you need to do file the complaint. It was BS that Ford wasn't taking care of it. Now, they get to have ANOTHER recall on their list, keeping their #1 ranking.
- I cannot recall running out of gas in my 50+ years of driving, but maybe I did once.
- Ford will tow you, for free, to the closest charger for 5 years.
- If you have AAA, they will tow you for free to an EV charger.
The Generlink device is quite simple, in that for it to allow power to flow from the vehicle to the home, the feed from the utility must be off.
One of the key realizations by many is that the truck has to be parked at the home, and plugged in (and charged to a high enough level to be used)...
What's interesting here is that the DTE customers are Ford employees, so they can deal with the problems without publicity.
I think it's pretty clear that the Ford HIS system will be replaced by some wider-market system in the not to distant future. The idea being discussed in the press...
5) No, you can't. The Sync system runs the entire vehicle. As @bmwhitetx mentioned, simply use Carplay / Android Auto from your phone, it will project on the vehicle's screen.
No.
The solution is to put a load on it that is enough to keep it running.

Nobody is abandoning EVs. Nonsense.
A neighbor of mine is a Ford executive. Saw him recently, he owns a Mach-E and a Lightning, just like us. I said "hey, your Lightning is going to be a collectible, with no more being made." He laughed, because it is a ridiculous statement.
I expect...
This is a great example of revealing the absolute shi##est sources on the web for all to see. Most are not AI generated, they just are clickbait bullcrap sites.
Correct.
You drove 11.3 miles using 6kWh (11.3/.1.9, rounded) in 36 min. Your heater can use (pre-heat pump info) up to 10kWh of energy.
Your 11.3 miles in 36 min means an average speed of 19 miles per hour. This is saying that you used roughly 3.9kWh driving and 2.1kWh heating the truck and...
The number of Mach-Es have battery issues were large. Keep in mind there is no key to get in. Battery is dead, you pull cap off bumper and jump to open frunk, then have to charge battery. Battery low, and that doesn't work.
The frunk panels, unlike the Lightning, have no knobs on them. You...
I hooked up a battery tender cable to the battery (ground to a ground wire, and ran it under the driver's side frunk cover, coming out of the edge of the cover. Open frunk, plug in, close frunk. Put note on front seat to unplug.
Back in 2022 - 2023, Mach-Es (especially) and Lightnings were...
Look at the company selling that, and their address... Look at their "newly upgraded product diagram, because that says they sold the prior design... Then RUN,
