Powertrain Malfunction/ Reduced Power

[riceilove]

Just had to drop my truck off for the second time now with this issue, confirmed to again be a battery module failure and an estimated two weeks for a new one to arrive. Pretty bummed that I was right about it being a battery issue again.

Regarding lemon laws, does it backdate to the first time I experienced this issue or is it the present time. Asking, because I'm less than a month past two years of ownership and only a couple thousand miles past 20,000. Not really sure about the process to make it a lemon or what comes with it, but looking for opinions/options (if I even qualify) if this is another lengthy wait time for repair. Thanks!

It depends on your state. E.g. Colorado has a 24+6 months law where if the first time the issue occurred was within 24months or 20k (or 24k?) miles, you have up to 30 months from purchase date to file a lemon law buyback.

It usually adheres to the state you purchased in, so NJ in your case. My quick search says 2yr/24k miles.

Yeah I'm doing additional research and I'd be fairly upset if it was didn't qualify because I was 2 years + 2 days and 224 miles over.

Sorry to hear that you have also lost two battery modules in 24k miles. There are two issues here. First, you are out your truck for at least 2 weeks, and second, there are still 7 other original battery modules in your truck, any of which could (and probably will) go bad at any time. I have become leery of taking my truck far from home for this reason. Meanwhile Ford is stalling on my request for a buy back.

Could only be 6 original battery modules after this! They didn't say which failed, so might not even be the prior replacement one that failed.
