So I’ve had the truck about an hour... here’s what I’ve got so far... (see attached)

Not a great way to start my new truck ownership. Any ideas on if these may be real or just first hour bugs welcome.

I noticed my dealer was trying to get me to sign everything before I got to drive the truck. However, I insisted on an extended test ride before signing.

One thing I should have insisted on was having them fix my misaligned doors before paying. I thought the ‘promise to fix’ in the contract would insure that but the second I paid, they stopped giving a shit.

Dealer told me to bring it back first thing in the AM and they’ll have a loaner ready to go. So that’s good.

Did you the button to reset the breaker? One on the dash and in the truck bed by the receptacles.

Got it back exactly two weeks later. All resolved. DCDC converter replaced along with an attached wiring harness. Everything working flawlessly now.

I spoke too soon. Had a transmission failure, engine misfire failure, and powertrain failure on Sunday. Limped it back home. Ford towed it (1 hour) to the dealership and is looking at it now.

Well check your lemon law statutes for your state, might be a buyback.

The dealer is aware of this possibility. So far they've been friendly about it and are sorry the car is so busted. We shall see. Of course, the undercarriage is rusted, too. :)

Get used to it. I have been dealing with the nightmare since August. I have never had such a problematic Ford truck. Currently impounded at the dealer requiring a new axle that is on back order until mid to late June.

He might not have the truck anymore, that post was over a year ago.
