Owned my 2019 for 3 months and 4K miles. No mechanical issues, but some with the technology:

- Sync system has frozen once and I had to pull the fuse to restart it and get the screen to shut off after powering off the truck

- A handful of times, the sync system will not recognize that my iphone is plugged in via usb thus not allowing apple car play activation. Phone simply connects via Bluetooth only. Issue generally resolved its self after turning off the car for a period of time.

- my first time off-road, the computer threw the following alerts (both at the same time): 1 - hill start system “detected a failure” and, 2 - forward collision system “either detected a system fault or an obstructed radar sensor”. When these alerts triggered, the truck switched out of Baja mode and would not go into any drive mode other than “normal”. This issue eventually corrected itself on my drive home, but ended my brief off road trip early. This was about a month ago and have had no issues since then.

Planning to bring all of the above issues to the attention of dealer for their thoughts when I go in for my first oil change in the next couple of weeks.

Other than that the truck runs great and oil levels are all OK based on a check (my first and only)of the dipstick at 3,800 miles. I’m definitely not getting anywhere close to 16mpg, but I blame my lack of self control with the right foot, it’s just too much fun to spool up the turbos!

I definitely don’t regret buying the extended warranty as I feel the weak point of this vehicle is with the computer system/technology. Time will tell, but at least things are covered for 8 years/ 100K miles.

I have a 2019 PB SCREW 802A and my entire onboard dash computer has gone out. I’m disappointed in the poor quality of that part. It started blinking on and off while driving down the road where I would lose all my gauges. Speedometer and Tachometer would shut down and have nothing while driving. I have less than 3k miles. Ordered and delivered with 2 miles on it, bought in March. Everything else is great...but this is huge disappointment. May take a week to fix due to waiting on part.

St. Louis Blues defeat Boston Bruins in game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals

The last thing anyone needs is another title for a Boston area team.

Watch out for the Las Vegas Golden Knights in 2020. We were 1 game away from Stanley Cup last year in our first season! Congrats to St Louis Blues!!

Iam sorry to hear your having problems with your 19, I am quite sure they would not have put the wrong anti-freeze in your truck at the factory, if you saw the line the engines run on you would see that there is no way that could happen. If your oil was leaking internally it would be showing signs in the exhaust or coming out on the ground somewhere. Have the dealer put some dye in the oil, run it awhile and check the underside with a black light if you dont see any signs there then check the tailpipe with the light. Either way you will find it leaking on burning. And by the way I love your goofy accent.

I fixed this by updating my Sync system over USB. I think the version they had it on when delivered was having trouble updating automatically, so I used a USB and haven’t had an issue since.

I think you misunderstood the OP. He was saying the dealer put in the wrong antifreeze after making repairs, not the factory. At least that’s how I read it.

Thanks for the info. Where do I go to download the latest Sync update?

Having similar issues on cold start. Raptor logo frozen on screen, no media connectivity, sometimes the screen freezes in time and locks me out. The latest issue is a blacked out screen, and then every so often, while driving down the road, the reverse camera pops up even though I am driving forward on the highway.

Stopped by the dealer today, and service tech thinks the SYNC module is going out. But I am having a hard time getting the updates through the wireless download. What is the USB download procedure?
