That happened on my first Maverick, truck way like floating, I knew that it was right away got home from dealer tires were at 45lbs I corrected was fine. They don't use A techs for PDIs, I checked all the fluids no problems for15k till I sold for a Lariat. What a great little truck and a looker.
I lost my power steering, and all the warning lights and I mean ALL came on at 1000 miles on my 25 lariat it was upsetting, I wanted my 22 XLT FX4 with 15k on the clock back that I sold to CarMax, that was a great truck. Dealer did a software upload, gave me a loaner and I was back on the road...

Once a month or so the ford rep in this case, will show up and the dealer service manager always has a folder of claims that he will ask to be covered as GOODWILL, I have seen them cover stuff that is out of warranty that I would never cover, but they do, why who knows, maybe its a good customer...
I used to get around 17/18 mpg on my 22 FX4 34k out the door local driving with 250 HP, those vehicles have 600 HP and cost over 100k, I'll take the BMW. Don't think owners are worried about gas mileage.
