We had to have it towed to the Ford dealer in Lincoln NE yesterday. Once again, a battery issue. Wouldn't start, nothing, nada. AAA came and jumped it, said the battery (which they put in 5 weeks ago) was down to nothing. Jump worked, and while trying to remove the "tow enabled" mode, stopped and started about 10 more times. Trouble this time, though, wouldn't release "tow enabled" mode. Had to call AAA back to be towed in. Bear in mind, we don't live here. We are staying with friends, and can't even talk to Ford until Tuesday. Also, this is the SECOND F 150 that we have had issues with. The 2019 needed a new transmission at 6 months, nav system went out about 6 months later, and the emergency braking system failed as well. Why did I get another Ford? Beats the heck out of me, but I've NEVER had issues like this before! Not with another F 150, and 2 Lincoln MKS's. Why now? We have no idea what is even wrong. I read about electrical issues (clearly we have those gremlins), and another person told me about issues with the very large starter that seems to bog down, because it is constantly being used for that little thing where it shuts down at a traffic light. I HATE THAT! Half the time it didn't work, either. Ok, I know I am rambling. But after the second Ford truck failure, I'm more than a bit ticked off! Thoughts, suggestions? I will be talking to someone at the dealership on Tuesday (I HOPE!).
