[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1749293, member: 21926"] I know you’re ticked off, I would be and have been. Only had my Lincoln 2 weeks before the CEL. A new personal best, I’d never broken a car that fast before ;-). It was still driving but the code had a lot of “get serviced immediately” recommendations. ended up getting all new injectors and rails and moved on with life and the L continues to be trusty steed. I see you have quite a bit of pre-delivery drama, you overpaid and more importantly got nothing for that overpayment, and then drew the short straw on a broken hard part. This is a bad situation, for sure. [B]if there is ever a scenario that illustrates perfectly why you should NEVER pay over MSRP for a Raptor or any other vehicle, this is it[/B]. You can see from the write up they didn’t even feel compelled to lift their fingers a little faster and a little farther for the extra dough they took in. It would be one thing if the stealership was offering Lincoln like valet service, pickup and drop off service and the like for the extra $$$$, but they’re not. I agree with a previous poster, the ’21 & ’22 MY trucks are clocking in with an awful lot of turbo failures vs. the 2017. These trucks haven’t been on the road that long and we’ve already had several users posting up with hair dryer failures. I’m betting we see a part revision here pretty soon. Nor should you, but you don’t have many options to effectively use. An ESP would guarantee you rental (the right ESP). This is not a new issue for Ford, the 2017-2020 trucks with broken hard parts were known to sit for significant periods of time. I’m sure it’s worse now but the issue has been around for a while. Raptor turbos are model specific. A few things on this. A lemon law suit should be a last resort, it usually takes a long time to bring to closure and doesn’t resolve an immediate vehicle shortage. You would probably lose the ADM money altogether on lemon law or voluntary buy back. I’ve prevailed in a LL suit, and gotten some hefty repairs taken care of under Ford ESP and aftermarket warranty. By far, Ford ESP was the easiest to deal with. You’re likely best riding this out. Also, I’ve not read the TX statute, but lemon law ‘model’ code typically contains an “out” if you are provided a loaner car. That is, the “clock doesn’t run” on repairs or attempts to repair when you are provided a loaner. So if they do provide a loaner and you end up having to go that route, check the law first. again, this should be the last course you take because these suits rarely make you whole again financially, but if you are stuck under a true lemon then it can be a way out. I believe you can ask that they search other dealers inventory as well as their own to resolve a parts shortage issue. Open up a Ford Customer service issue on this so this doesn’t snowball into a several weeks/months issue. [/QUOTE]
