Oh yeah, one other thing. When you get home and park it, and if the gas engine is running, let it run until it shuts down, then get out and lock her up. It will run to charge the HVB.

My dealer did the airbag recall, re-programmed various modules to address the hybrid grabby brakes, and the 12v battery cable overlay in one day. I dropped it off in the a.m. and picked it up the next day. They gave me a loaner too.
As it turns out my dealerās service department is much...

I am fully aware but apparently my humor is lost on many here at MTC. I was bustinā the OPās balls because he mentioned several times the hybrid recalls and issues. Oh the issuesā¦..my, my, whatever shall I do.

Youāre from Maine, the heat in Missouri would kill you. It kills me every summer.
Apparently my Ford dealerās service department is much better than I thought they were. They did the work in a very timely manner.

My battery is always at 12.2-12.3 before starting. After starting, it jumps to 14.xx and stays there. I have never had a problem in over 26,000 miles. Interior lights always come on bright and strong upon opening the door.
Also, I do not use any apps, Ford pass or whatever the heck itās...

Seeing as youāre in Dearborn, MI, get on the horn to corporate and raise hell. Better yet, show up and raise a stink. Thereās got to be an engineer at corporate that can figure out what is happening.

I brought mine in this past TU and picked it up the next day. They did the air bag recall, new 12v cable overlay, and reprogrammed the several modules to address the grabby brakes.
All is well, though I never had any problems to begin with, other than the sometimes grabby brakes. So far the...

Do you see all those openings in the under engine guard? Those are the same holes that dealers drilled during the first recall. Yours was done at the factory. Put the damn thing back on, my man! It helps protect the underside from road debris and such.

The dealer can look at it all they want, but Ford has stated there will not be a fix until the fourth quarter of this year. Which to me means we will not see a fix until well into 2024. Speedy they are not.

Yeah, that stinks. Iāve decided to have it done, along with the air bag recall and reprogramming of the brakes. Parts will be in by end of week.

Oh yeah, I know about the dirt as I live on a 200 acre cattle ranch. Itās about the same distance for me before I hit the tarmac. Love it here, though.

Iāve had over 25,000 trouble free miles with my hybrid in one year. I tend to think if my truck had a bad cable that it wouldāve raised its ugly head by now. Yāknow, āif it aināt broke, donāt fix itā. I also do not trust the dealer parts replacer to do the job correctly. Man, Iām gonna think...
