Do you think that I would voud my warranty if I remove the Telematics Box?

Either it goes, or I do.

I realize it is a controversial issue, but while searching Youtube, under "is Ford smSoying on You", I am completely shocked.

Thanks,
Joe,
er, I mean Anonymous.

Do you carry a cell phone? If you do then why are you worried about what the truck is doing? It is tracking a fraction of what your phone is.

This viewpoint has always cracked me up.

As for the question at hand, yes, they can void your warranty if they find it was a factor in the issue.

I think you can pull the fuse that runs the box - poke around in the forum and you should be able to find out which one it is.

You are misinformed about the extent of privacy that you give up, and how broadly it is shared.
Actually, the entire contents of your ohone is but one of the items they farm, and who they share it with. But I don't want to debate the privacy issue with anyone who hasn't read their privacy policy carefully.

My question was a simple one (specifically, I am looking for a solid answer regarding warranty).

Thanks

I just can't even with these posts anymore. Pull the fuse for the TCU, if you have problems put the fuse back in before you take it to a dealership.
Respectfully, if you believe that pulling #11 kills the system, you should watch some videos on the subject.
I was asking a simple question about warranty, not looking for a debate or an opinion on what might cure the problem.
If you are tired of the subject, maybe rather than chime in on your feelings you could just ignore these threads.

There are sensors in vehicles that phones don't have access to.

I got confirmation from the dealer that disabling the TCU will void the warranty.

Thanks guys, we can end this string.

Say what you want about the phone tracking us... My phone doesn't sell my driving info to the insurance companies!
Sooo, you did not read the privacy disclosures.

Ignorance is truly bliss!

A warranty cannot be 'voided'. If there is a warranty claim that can be linked to the removal of the telematics, that claim could be denied.
👍
You are absolutely correct.
I'm sure, You already knew that😁

A novel approach, asking the experts vs asking random unvetted strangers.

Good luck in life.

Tuning out.
"Oysterville" I understand what you are saying. BUT
Please tell me you are not equating advice from a dealer as EXPERT?🤣
I was wondering why somebody would want to remove the whole telematics box and not just fuse 11/12 that its power runs through.
