You should see how the logistics drivers are around the plant. You may baby your vehicles, and believe it's been driven nicely all it's life, but it's beaten like a mule for the first couple of miles. If you saw how they drove them from the plant to the shipping site, you might not buy a new vehicle ever again.
There certainly is the possibility that you may have a LVB bad from stock. Ive had 12v batteries fail with as little as 5K miles. From my understanding, the LVB provides power to everything, including starting, shifting, etc. The HVB only gives power to the motors and to recharge the LVB. I dont see how a bad HVB would prevent you from actually starting the truck unless software dictates so. Fingers crossed they replace the LVB and all is good.
I do believe that these trucks will not ship from park with a door open or a jar. Maybe something simple as a door latch, switch or latch monitorI apologize if there is a thread somewhere else that will help but here is issue…and note this is 3rd party info as I was unable to be at delivery but my wife was there.
Brand new Flash that I believe was manufactured in October 24 based on the sticker and was delivered to dealer lot on October 28th. Finally closed the deal and they agreed to deliver the car by driving it to our house approximately 180 miles from the dealer. I have advised the dealer that we will not take official delivery until we inspect the truck upon delivery to our house and the agreed. I have an email from them saying as much.
Now the problem…all looked good with the truck so my wife went to test drive it. She got in the truck with foot on break and pressed the start and the truck has power but it will not shift out of Park. The driver who delivered the truck could also not get it started. Thpic below was the only idiot lights on dash.
They disconnected the battery and re-connected still no go. The called their service who called then called a Ford mobile tech who came and replaced the 12v battery and still no go. Tech told driver that he thinks it is the HVB,. My wife had to leave so I’m hearing this info from my son. Getting ready to call the GM of dealer but was wondering if there is something simple and stupid that we can try before I tell him to give me a different truck.
Some details on mechanical model options:
-Pro Power
-Max Towing
Any thoughts?
Seems a bit premature to throw in the towel. Maybe it was simply a dead LV battery or bad BMS. I’d rather have a bad LV battery or BMS replaced (temporary inconvenience) than an unfixable cosmetic flaw.
With a vehicle delivered to the OP's house almost a week ago that wouldn't start after the delivery person drove it there. The battery was replaced the next day, but that didn't correct the no start. $75k new vehicle that is DOA. Have them pickup the truck and find another one for heaven's sake. I can live with a couple minor nit picky cosmetic issues. (I'm referring to issues so minor most people wouldn't even notice. I'm just a picky person)
They will get to the bottom of this and you will be good to go. P0AA6 is a very intermittent issue which is very hard to diagnose. Most likely next step is they contact Ford engineering and they actually have the tech wear a video headset and the engineering team walks them through the diagnostic process. Step 1 can take up to 9 hours.
