Man that's a lot of miles? I don't have 3,400 miles on mine Yet and got it on April 15,2025. When did You get Yours?
About mid May. I've been putting those types of miles on my vehicles for the last 9 years. But I didn't really pay as much attention because they all had over 100,000 miles when I bought them. This is the first where I put all the miles on it myself. And the only one with a warranty. So I'm seeing it evaporate
. Hopefully I have the same experience with this as with the others in that I had no powertrain issues. I don't like working on my own stuff because it's free work
. I didn't really feel like changing the oil or rotating my tires yesterday after working on everybody else's. I didn't mind doing that airbag warning light recall because I got paid to work on my own truck. Likewise with the first oil change and tire rotation. They were complimentary. So I got paid then too,
It's much less common though.
If the battery drain issue is uncovered during warranty period and not fixed...can owners assume it remains a warranty issue even after the warranty expiration date? My other vehicle(s) warranties kept if covered until resolved.
Document everything and then escalate it yourself to Ford and get a commitment from them that they are going to extend their warranty to address the issue if it is beyond the 3/36K. If they don't then file a lemon law case - that will get their attention.
Is the air bag warning light a quick fix time wise? I have the recall but didn't get it done yet?About mid May. I've been putting those types of miles on my vehicles for the last 9 years.

I don't know for sure. But typically Ford eventually issues a "recall" which in essence is an extension of the warranty. They may say that it's covered until x miles and y time. But they'll also say that if the vehicle has excee
It literally takes about 10 minutes. I spent more time getting the parts, and pulling it inside the shop and writing it up after it was done than the actual repair. If you get your oil changed at the dealership, that's a convenient time to have it done.
My truck has a less severe version of the problem, even with starting it daily. On mine, I don't get the sleep mode, and the dome lights work, but the 12v accessory circuit shuts off when you exit the truck ( it should stay on for 40 minutes). I wouldn't have noticed except that that is the circuit with the Flexbed connection and I added some lights in the bed.
I work in an office at a Ford Dealership, Ford has asked if I would put a flight recorder on mine to monitor it. A local friend who purchased one, doesn't drive it enough did a buy back since his was dead almost every other day.
Yes - but I wouldn't get the cheapest one.
It does need to log the fact the voltage is higher than the cutoff line for battery saving functions to kick in.
