Update: Ford called me last week with an update about my problem. They have likely solved this issue with an update to the computer. Bringing it in on Wednesday to be fixed!

I have not seen a glowing CAT. I have had issues with both the blowers on max and with mild blowers. It hasnt happened in a week or so now. But this morning i got the strong rotten eggs/ sulfur smell without any other issues (that i could see).

4 days at the shop and they couldnt replicate... I hope it doesnt catch on fire!

I have had it about a month and have driven it less than 1000 miles (i had covid for a bit). It has done this many times with the key start. Its winter here in MA and has done it in 30 degree weather and less. Its not every time. In fact, the dealer has had it a few days and cant seem to...

If anyone gets an official diagnosis from the dealer please share it with us!

Obviously the dealer couldn’t replicate the issue yesterday but I could again this morning. He says I have too few miles and that I need to put more on it as it’s likely the anti rust coat burning off…. -_-. They have suggested I leave it over night but they don’t have a spare vehicle for me to use…

I personally have been using the key to start

Mine still did the issue on this -7 morning while set on a low heat setting / blower setting. I will call Ford later today to see if they know anything.

I'll experiment tomorrow morning with starting the truck without the heater going. I did turn it to full blast to ensure a toasty drive to work.

Interesting. This might be the reason for the burning smell. It goes away quickly and seems to be on the cold starts. Not sure that it would explain the "surging". Thanks for the link!

It seemed to run fine will driving.

No scanner. Nothing abnormal on the dash.

It didnt this time (or at least, i didnt notice), but i have smelled both rotten eggs and was seemed to be burning plastic.

It's at half a tank...

Started the truck with key (NOT remote start) with a temperature of 1 degree (F). No issues starting up, but then had a rough idle, sounding weird. Picked up my Hybrid 2 weeks ago and it currently has 185 miles on it (got COVID). Normal? Break-in period? Thoughts?

My Hybrid shipped last week and will arrive... whenever (not holding my breath). I was wondering if there are QC issues, or anything like that, I should be looking for when inspecting my vehicle for the first time. My confidence in the local dealer is non existent and I want to make sure I'm...

That makes sense! I assumed there was still a latch under the hood. I like it!

What is the point of a double pull lever for the hood latch?

I saw the news yesterday, thanks for the follow up! Im sure ill be getting in update in the next couple weeks as my production date was mid september!!

That’s the consensus and nothing has changed since that information was available. Always a chance we get it sooner but I’m not holding my breath!
