it wastes bandwidth and always turns into a whiney bitchfest thread. IMO. Seriously, TINY maybe isolated issue- take it right back to the dealer. There's literally millions of F-150s out there with this keyed ignition Including mine.
As a locksmith for 30 years I can tell you this is def. not true. The high security wafers in a Ford ignition have to be able to move up and down as the key is inserted and removed. Grease especially if very cold hinders that. Any light lubricant is fine on the wafers just dont over do it. There is a lock lubricant made specifically for locks called Houdini that many of us locksmiths use available on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3Dfn3NV I have never once in 30 years seen a fire caused by a squirt of lubricant and this is also great for the door/tailgate locks as well. Keeping the locks lubricated is a sure way to extend the life of the high security key. If the keys don't smooth out after a touch of lubricant by all means take it back to the dealer under warranty.
I’ll save you the trouble of having to come back. Here’s what happened: guy had a problem, learned how NOT to fix it (WD40 not recommended), what happens if he uses a little lube to work around it (could cost him big bucks later), that it probably isn’t a common issue (nobody else has jumped in yet with similar reports), and what he should actually do (take it to the dealer for a replacement). Seems like a pretty successful post!it wastes bandwidth and always turns into a whiney bitchfest thread. IMO. Seriously, TINY maybe isolated issue- take it right back to the dealer.

But if anything changes, I'll circle back to you at the end of the day
And it only took two pages!
And don't forget the entertainment value to 735 users (so far) who read the thread rather than doing something productive with our lives...
you could always log off for a couple hours and get outside and exercise in the real world before really bad weather hits? It does wonders for the heart and attitude. Leave your cell phone home when you go too- just enjoy nature. Our CO shitty weather starts early next week and I'm outside taking advantage now pretty much every minute except for inside breaks to check devices and eat/rest.
Old Ranchero, you should take your own advice about logging off for a couple of hours when you see a thread you think is a waste of time. Instead of typing out a message about how the thread is a waste of time and nobody should make any future threads like it.you could always log off for a couple hours and get outside and exercise in the real world before really bad weather hits?

I never said any of that, you're putting words in my on-line mouth. I'm on my lunch break checking devices now so deal with it
or skip over mine if it hurts your feelings that muchHah. Yeah, im just yanking your chain. I actually agree with you about the good it does to get off the devices and set limits to when/how much you are on them.I never said any of that, you're putting words in my on-line mouth.

Pretty funny from a guy who has 792 posts, don't you think?you could always log off for a couple hours and get outside and exercise in the real world before really bad weather hits?

No, pretty normal actually. I joined April 1 and the information was scarce on Maverick then and we all posted every new thing we learned and then verified true from false until Ford official reveal and open source info and real reviews and finally customer inputs from their new vehicle. How many texts per day for you? I'm OG around here, and retired yet have a full life IRL at same time
That 792 (less than 100/mo) also accounts for multiple replies on same topic along with educating trolling idiots.
