Engine Miss

And the saga goes on. I received a call from the reaquiry team asking me if I would select one of two options:

1. Sell the truck back - minus vehicle mileage charge.

2. Replace truck - minus vehicle mileage charge.

I asked what the charge was - they did not have that information. I asked how they expect me to make a decision when they are not making a solid offer yet.

Pro's - I am working with my dealership and they are one the spot with this, They have not located a truck even close to mine so it looks like a 2020. Now the decision is FX4 or FX2.

Changes I will make on order:
I am definitely switching from 500A to 501A package.
Changing color to from Ingot Silver (not available) to Lightning Blue.

For the replacement I was able to get a RAV rebate, only because I asked about it.

How can they not have the mileage charges readily available for you? That should be part of the information they provide you with. I'm wondering what my mileage charge might be if I have to go that route, went into the shop with 521 miles, 26 days ago. They've put another 166 miles on it with test drives, getting it up to 687 miles. No ETA in sight.

Keep us updated on your process please.

One thing they did tell me is they went back to the original date of service claim. I hope that is the mileage they use, Another consideration is additional damage (Mine has none) but Ford will not reimburse for the spray in bedliner (Linex Premium).

I can only go with what the dealership is telling me about availability of trucks they are looking at.

Dealer is not willing to work on anything over 100 Miles and I do not want a sport appearance package.

 

[RedlandRanger]

then a 2020 it is.

Unless you can find a dealer with a pending order they would be willing to modify to suit. Not sure if it is too late for that or not - I would think not since they are still scheduling the 2019s at this point. I know the order book is closed, but all the orders don't appear to have been scheduled at this point.

Something to inquire about if you don't want to wait 6 months anyway.

Thanks for the idea. My Dealer modified an order to my specs only changes are Lightning Blue & 501A vice 500A everything else I had on my 2019 Lariat, FX4, Trailer Tow etc. Thanks for the idea. I will actually save money on the deal.

Good deal - hopefully you get it relatively soon and it is trouble free.

Some states are required under lemon law to reimburse for accessories. You can find lemon law information online. They are usually required to go to first repair for mileage. Every states mileage charge is different.

Ask them to forgive the mileage charge as reimbursement for your inconvenience. You have nothing to lose. Negotiate.
