It’s been a pain to own this truck. Between this issue and getting the paint fixed, I spent 12 days going to the dealer. I tend to forget the pain when I go into sport mode and mash on the accelerator. Still, I could use less time at the dealer or in a dealer provided rental.

So the dealer I went to (different from original), managed to replicate the issue by wiggling the solenoid damper on the rear right shock. The tech said it was out of spec and that part would need to be ordered. Back to waiting. There’s a TSB the tech showed me that states the shock does not...

Happened again 2 days ago. Since my last post it happened 4 times. The Drive Control Module ordered by my dealer back in March finally arrived. I’ll post an update once it’s replaced.

Yep that’s my truck haha. I was surprised how solid those brackets were. They looked like they were made of thicker metal than the truck’s bumper. Once bolted on the lights stayed in place and didn’t budge one bit. I recommend them.

Yeah I held my temper in check since I need them to fix. If it goes nowhere tomorrow then I won’t be as patient. Third time is the charm. Or not. Worst case I’ll take it to my shop and file a claim against them in small claims court.

Marked all the spots I could find.

Yeah I bought mine when it was night time so it’s hard to see. Tomorrow is my third trip back for this issue. If they can’t fix it I’ll take it to my own shop. Ford rep told me they won’t cover all the costs if I take this route. My own shop told me that the dealer shop rushed it as this...

Oh and according to the body shop, the extra layer of paint in my fender was caused as a result of Ford not removing the paint sealant completely and then painting over it.

I have owned my 2020 Ford Raptor for about 2 months. When I went to wash the truck, I found what appeared to be an extra layer of paint on my fender. It was sharp enough to rip out fibers from my polishing cloth and looked odd. I took it to the dealer, who said they have a body shop that...

I don't think that your lights are to blame. I mean the truck is prewired for accessories and idk how they are connected to the shocks. In my case it was brand new right off the dealers lot when it happened. After the second day of owning the truck it hasn't had this issue since. So I am on...

I am leaning towards trying my intune tool to see if I can disable it permanently to see if I get any more issues. If I don’t get any more issues I think we know the culprit. Before I go that route, I’ll drive it without touching the AS/S button in normal and sports mode and see what happens.

It could be that I am going senile lol. Tomorrow I am going to do a lot of testing between modes and take pictures of the dash and button. Then record everything on a log. Will make it much easier to retrieve info. Yep. This is day 3 of owning this truck.

Yes I am aware of AS/S in normal mode - it’s the same as the one my Honda CR-Z had. The first time it was definitely a full stall, not an AS/S engine shut off. In addition to the Drive Control Malfunction announcement, the engine stopped. Letting go of brakes or stepping on accelerator did...

I used the mode button on the steering wheel and cycled it to sports mode. The icon on the dash confirmed it. Shifting pattern and throttle response changed drastically. Kind of wish this was the standard mode. I’ll try your suggestion tomorrow and see what happens. I’ll also try standard...

Yes. The second time it stalled and the warning popped up the truck was in sports mode. It was my understanding that this mode turns off start stop, but the button on the dash didn’t light up. The only thing I did different today was place it in sport mode and then push the button. Then...
