Rotating aids in prolonging tire wear (each corner of a vehicle wears differently due to weight differences and stress/abrasion from cornering). Alignment helps reduce wear, as well. Balancing helps prevent vibration. If the tires need balancing as well as rotating, you’ll have some vibe. You’ll...
They know better. If the tires don’t need replacing yet, ask them to balance them, then drive it. I get all service at the dealership’s Quick Lane located a block away so they don’t debate me.
I’ve never had any dispute about it. Ford pays them for warranty work. They did have to order the parts once they put it in the rack and verified the issue so that meant a second visit but it was an hour once parts were in.
Tell them you have vibration when accelerating, that you’ve read about the CV axle issue and need that looked at. Mine’s a ‘23 hybrid with 81k miles and it’s been in twice, at about 40k/80k. They’re aware of it. If you have <60k miles on it, it should be covered under drivetrain warranty...
They replaced the right CV axle on mine (80k miles). Glad I bought the extended warranty. It only cost $200 since the drivetrain warranty passed at 60,000 miles.
I put 35K miles a year on a vehicle. I had CV axle replacement at 39,000 miles. Now it’s back at the dealer at 79,000 miles. So the life span for these CV axles appears to be 39K miles at best. Other than that, I’m still loving my ‘23 Lariat. And I did buy the extended Premium warranty...
After an 18 month wait, I took delivery last Saturday at Yadkin Valley Motor Company in North Wilkesboro, NC (call John Jr.). Drove it home, with a stop at App State for a baseball tailgate, to Huntsville, AL. Got 44 mpg in the mountains (a shocker to me but that’s gas uphill, electric downhill...
Mine still shows 3/23 as build date, moved up a week, but now I see it’s actually in production so it was moved up 2 weeks. CG Lariat Lux Hybrid that was first ordered 11/10/21. I was also finally able to see my window sticker online today.
