Can't say that has happened to me, but then again I've only changed oil once so far. The dealer is the ONLY one allowed to touch my cars for just those type reasons. I want it done right and will only use factory parts. That being said, when I took delivery of my truck the tire pressure was still way high from when they ship em. Never got dropped during the PDI.Anyone take their truck to the dealer for scheduled maintenance, then get your truck back with 40 psi in the tires again? Kind of annoying to say the least.
If you think the dealer will "do it right and only use factory parts"... think again.Can't say that has happened to me, but then again I've only changed oil once so far.

Agree.If you think the dealer will "do it right and only use factory parts"... think again.
If you only want OEM Ford Factory Parts, you need to specify that up front and make sure it's on the service contract.
Some of the biggest nightmare stories you will ever hear are dealership maintenance related.
I'm sure anything is possible and "stuff" happens but that is possible anywhere. Our family joke for years has been "the "J" in jiffy-lube is silent". Lol. Maybe I'm just lucky but I'll stick with the dealer.If you think the dealer will "do it right and only use factory parts"... think again.

I think the one I have is a longacre, but I originally noticed on the display in the truck. I was just surprised to get it back that high when the sticker in the door calls for 30. But man those guys from Mazda seem Like they would have been a chore to deal with.Hi Folks,
We at Ford carried a tire pressure gauge around for much of our work on the prototypes when doing vehicle dynamics, NVH etc. These dial gauges had to be re certified periodically for accuracy. The pencil type gauge is woefully inaccurate and not allowed for any certified testing. So if your vehicle calls s for 36psi, not surprising 40 psi was set. Also, how about the gauge you are using??? Things get messy quickly here.... I believe there is a regulation on the typical "WalMart" gauge for accuracy when new but may deteriorate over time, living in the bottom of a tool box. Anyway...I carry pricey dial gauges in my vehicles. I check then against my Ford Cert gauge on occasion.
A bit of a back story. My NVH engineer, Tim H was at Edison Assembly doing validation work on an NVH improvement on the vehicles where we also made the Mazda version of the Ranger. Mazda had a quality team that would show up and drive vehicles and put together a hit list of problems and concern. Most of the list was chicken shit part quality or assembly related, but sometimes the team identified something that dropped into my lap. The complaint was that all the Mazda's were pulling to the left. My first question to the Mazda team...did you drive any Rangers to verify it is specific to Mazda....Well....no... Sheesh. Why don't you drive a couple Rangers...Not my job! Sheesh, so called poor Tim who had no skill set in vehicle dynamics. Drive the complaint Mazdas and then some Rangers. Tim reluctantly agreed and verified that the Rangers pulled to the left too. So I asked Tim to check tire pressures on the suspect Rangers and Mazdas. He had to go buy a tire pressure gauge at an auto parts store...I told him to get an expensive dial type. Then check and record tire pressures on each vehicle...adjust as necessary and reevaluate. Tire pressures were way off and with reevaluation, the vehicles now tracked straight. I highly suggested to the Mazda Team leader that he use our standard protocol and set tire pressures before they drive the Mazdas and stop wasting my or my engineer's time. We sent a formal letter to Mazda detailing proper protocol. The team leader who the plant had complaints j UK on as well....was removed from the position....Sheesh!
Hi 303,I think the one I have is a longacre, but I originally noticed on the display in the truck. I was just surprised to get it back that high when the sticker in the door calls for 30. But man those guys from Mazda seem Like they would have been a chore to deal with.
This literally just happened to me this morning. I took it in for its 10,000 mile service (only had 8200, but had 1 year on the clock), and when they gave me back the truck, I noticed that the tires looked taller. Sure enough, I checked the pressure and it was 40 lbs. This was in Pompano Beach FL. There must be something going on that we don't know about and are not being told. How could all these different dealerships, put in the same air pressure when servicing these trucks, regardless of what the door sticker recommendation says? I'm gonna try calling the dealership and ask this question. I'm also gonna leave it at 40 lbs for now. When I took delivery - from a different dealership, not the one that just did the service - the TP was set at 40 then too.
Definitely let us know if you get an answer on this. I just had my oil changed this morning per the maintenance plan and got mine back at 38psi when the door tag is 30psi. Interesting thing for me is when I took delivery they actually had the tires at 30psi. My dad has a 2019 F150 and said they always air his tires at 38psi also so apparently 38 is the magic number at my dealership.This literally just happened to me this morning.
