Maybe I skimmed too quickly, but it sounds like others are confused like I was regarding the difference between FordPass Connect and the AT&T hotspot service. Ford wants your data and it appears they have a M2M network setup for it. That's Connect, and it's the service that's required to be...

Not gonna hurt us financially like it has many of the people that still own one and are upside down. Ford earned every stinking penny the class action settlement is gonna cost them. No, though I should check to make sure there are no DTC's set now. I fully expect 'no problem found' or 'normal...

Sure thing Doc. I started questioning myself again, so had to go look (damn confabulation). See https://blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/topic/67626-porosity-in-ford-blocks/&tab=comments#comment-1072170 for reference.

Can't agree more, in part. Problem is that advisors and techs can become so jaded that they don't notice when someone is being civil. I'm too much of a SPST switch, having trouble finding the middle ground of being nice while still firm. So the times I took the wife's DPS6-based Focus in for a...

I'm not gonna trust Ford to own up, and according to the resident tech at BOF, OA is irrelevant to a warranty conversation. I trust him much more than Ford corp. at this point. Then again, I'm a disgruntled DPS6 owner who didn't bitch enough to get a single clutch pack and a wife who still...

Oregon would be my guess

Oil level baseline

Here's hoping you find a shop down the road that's willing to dive in. Thanks for the update.

The dealer did that for me right after getting the truck. Sync took a dump when trying to connect to my house wi-fi and things got really ugly - constant reboots, wrong screens displaying, etc. I have basic Sync fwiw. A fine solution to an unstable system - make the customer climb under the...

Wade, maybe I lost track, but have you given up on Ford doing something? Short interval oil changes is a pretty crummy workaround for you.

At least you didn't take a crack at the Canadian company whose devs are (or were anyway) heavily involved in this pretty poor implementation. Ford hired some 400 Blackberry staff a few years back...

Day late and dollar short maybe, but I'm pretty sure someone else posted that https://parts.autonationfordwhitebearlake.com/ honored the points via phone. Their prices seem to be about as competitive as anyone's. Heck, they might even be kind of local to you (tall state though). To answer your...

Well, "them" Jeff, of course. Or I have no idea since I clearly made some assumptions based on the brief discussion I had with the sales manager at the time. One of those was that it extended the Ford new vehicle warranty. I wouldn't consider an arrangement with some random local dealer to be...

Yep, I added it to my list of things to buy after crawling under the truck for the first time a few weeks back. Tasca currently want $68 + shipping - https://www.tascaparts.com/oem-parts/ford-front-shield-kb3z5b018a. Don't need to go off roading with the hazards one can find on the highway.

Maybe Texas doesn't allow dealers to sell courtesy vehicles as new and I've misspoken. Other states appear to allow them to use the vehicles without titling. That was certainly what I was led to believe here, and dealers from MI and TN both refer to them as new vehicles. Your best approach may...

I'm pretty sure you were lied to. Did you see my edit that details the FCTP? Edit: Ugh, I should have looked more closely at the link I supplied above. Instead, this better describes what I was told. I didn't find an official ford.com link, so this is from...

I looked at a courtesy vehicle at a Ford dealership not long ago and was told that they extend the mileage and time warranty. But if the vehicle's Certificate of Origin was transferred to someone, then you bought an essentially used vehicle. Take a look at...

Never doubted you, Jeff :). Obviously a dumb oversight on the part of the docs team not to manage the changes properly. But it's probably why I've become conditioned to just accept the reality of electronic iterations. In the tech world it's all you get a lot of times.
