So... This was on one of the FB groups. SIAP and hopefully I'm not stealing thunder from that OP if he's on here. Not sure this covers all of our issues (or mine specifically). Pretty crappy they didn't make a truck that starts reliably and won't fix them until the end of the year if we're lucky.

Yup, just got hosed getting out of the 2023 F150 Power Boost with this same issue. Had the truck for 6 months, during which 2 months was spent at the dealers repair shop.

How long do they want us to sit around waiting for the truck to restart, when we have appointments to make and service calls to do.

Reliability is a key factor in getting a new vehicle and when the new vehicle is not reliable, then Ford is in breach of the lease or purchase contract.

Sorry, not going to get another Hybrid vehicle in the near to distant future!

Did you get a buy back? Any details you can share?

Ford Canada said that since they have a repair scheduled in Q4 that I had to wait it out, that the buy back was not available unless the truck was totally dead and they had no fix available.

Since Consumer Reports has labeled the F150 Power Boost as the least reliable vehicle right now and with all the bad press the hybrid trucks are getting, the resale value of them has plummeted. The $80K truck I leased in February was now only worth $51K and they insisted I pay the difference to buy out the lease.

The dealer went to bat for me and they absorbed a good chunk of that, but even still the new 78K 5.0 L truck I was wanting to trade into was going to add few hundred dollars per month to my monthly payments. I ended up going to a used truck and even with the used truck am paying over about $150. per month extra.

Biggest kicker was that I should have just bought out the lease on the original truck and my payments would have been a fraction of what they are now, the 2020 Eco Boost I traded in had 36,610 KM and had not had one issue in all the time I had it, but I had already said I would take the Power Boost.

Only reason I am still driving a Ford right now is that Ram, Chev, and Toyota did not want to take a trade in on a broken truck.

Will I buy another Hybrid, not in the near foreseeable future.
Will I buy an EV vehicle, not in the foreseeable future.

Will I get another Ford, not with the way I have been treated by them this time!
