@mattbrawner7888 Год назад

I haven’t had a single computerized component fail. The only thing electronic that failed was the automatic door step which was replaced early on and no issues since. I’ve never even had a check engine light because I had all the recommended maintenance done on time. The truck still looks brand new outside and inside, and still drives like new. Even the drivers seat looks like it has less than 50k miles. It makes a huge difference when you take care of and maintain your vehicle. Preventive maintenance is the key. My 2020 kia sportage is also freshly mint and has 80k miles and looks brand new without a scratch with 0 issues because I have maintenance done on time. That vehicle has also never had a check engine light . I serviced its transmission every 20k miles to be safe. You have to pay to play sometimes, and its well worth it.

The 2021 F-150's had all kinds of chip issues! My 2021 F-150 was replaced by Ford with a 2022 F-150 under Michigan Lemon Law. I only had 300 miles on it and I couldn't safely drive it or tow my boat because of constant electrical fault messages and the turn signals not working right. The Ford dealer tore out the dash twice and replaced the APIM Module 2X, but nothing would fix my problems. A Ford engineer neighbor told me to get out of my lease as quick as possible due to all the defects. On a good note, FoMoCo replaced the truck with a 2022 F-150 XLT with all the same options and it is GREAT. No issues at all and everything works fine. They also reloaded all my lease miles and said I could buy the truck at the end of the lease at the 2021 price, if interested. That means I could get a $63,247 truck for $43,000. I plan on buying it!

The key and the lock wear together. If one key gets used all the time it is possible that the spare won't work at all. Swap them out from time to time so that everything wears together. Fortunately there are now aftermarket ignition lacks which can be programmed to your existing key so you don't have to mess with paying someone to program them. There are procedures for programming keys yourself for many vehicles. Just search for your vehicle. As a backup, know your key code.

I might entertain redoing the dash etc. Admittedly, I like tactile things that don't take my eyes off the road: levers for a/c, volume knobs for radio, etc. I'm not at 15,000 feet when driving, where a nice comfy cushion of 10-15 seconds of 'eyes off' time doesn't miss much [outside of being near airport approach patterns].

Has the owner ever heard of the Lemon Law? I used it once on a Ford Aerostar that would just stop in the middle of the highway for no reason. They took it back and paid me the purchase price back. I would suggest that the owner gives it a shot. Only works for new cars.

I have been a long time Ford admirer and started out as a Ford mechanic at a dealership if that tells you how blue my blood was. However this will be the last Ford I ever own. Its been nothing but problems and the manufacturer refuses to take any real responsibility about there poor quality and failing vehicles. This is the first time I have ever had vehicle tires outlast the drivetrain. Think about that, my tires are original and I have had all of these parts replaced or rebuilt before needing a new set.

The car burned to the ground. The Fire marshal said the turbo was the issue. If you love Dodge go ahead. I’ll never buy another one ever again. Dodge truck resale is terrible after 4-5 years. They fall apart. Rock solid is to me 5-7 years of reliable duty. I’ll never keep a vehicle longer than that. Nobody in the US keeps a truck for 500,000 miles you’re dreaming .
