Powertrain malfunction/reduced power

[Victorog]

I got my 2023 lightning in march of 24 with 200 miles and 9k plus miles later I get a power train malfunction/ reduced power message and could not drive the truck. Took family to the mall. I had to remove the 12 volt battery to reset, this was a week ago. Well tried to park the truck properly this evening and the same problem again. This is exhausting, repeated the same process to get it to move. Taking it to my dealer this morning. I can’t imagine it happening while my wife or kid was driving.

Hello, I would like to see if I can assist you with your powertrain concerns. Could you please send us a message with your VIN and mileage?

Could be a faulty ground connection somewhere.

Hello the truck totally stopped moving right by a dealership. VIN#. Mileage is 9658. I am left without a vehicle now. This is unacceptable especially when I paid $90,000 for a truck. The dealership does not know how long it would take to get it fixed.

Did the dash and all electronics in the cab go out or just the traction battery power?

Just the powertrain failure and high voltage battery warning

As a veteran of two battery failure seasons, let me share a tip: if the dealer doesn't offer you a substitute vehicle, just rent one and bill all your expenses—including fuel—directly to Ford.
