[QUOTE="Proflyer, post: 1749748, member: 41506"] When I had to lemon a GMC duramax when they first came out with all the new DPF crap, I bought a special edition one the dealer had added a lift/tires/wheels/grill etc. to. It was all done at a local 4WD performance/truck shop. They had to refund me every penny for all of that, and even had to refund me for the floor mats I bought for it, the tint I had installed etc. Provided receipts and they had to include it all. The entire deal is essentially unwound, and all I had to eat was mileage at 25cents/mile. Truck had about 15k on it when I finally threw in the towel, but the attorney was able to get them to waive that since my first issue started at like 300 miles. In this case OP would maybe have to eat the $25 or whatever (I think he said it has like 98 miles on it) but that's a rounding error. They also had to cover the registration fees. All in I was made totally whole like I'd never bought the truck. As far as showing your hand--I disagree. I went rounds with the dealer/GMC until I said 'you know what, this is quickly approaching lemon law status;' all of a sudden they had a special tech in trying to solve the issue, updated me a few times a day, total white glove service. As you can imagine, my being able to put the truck back to them at what I paid PLUS all the stuff was an expensive problem for them. They gave it their best and finally just threw in the towel themselves. Replacing parts to try and solve an issue is expensive as well. I can't remember what the issue was, but it had something to do with programming that was unknown to them until later on. Anyway, not that it's to this yet, but OP don't be afraid to press the law with the dealer/Ford. A failed part isn't abnormal on a new truck, but if they can't get you back in your new truck quickly, I wouldn't let them roll you over for a second. Especially since you paid over sticker for the damn thing. Ford already seems to not like the ADM game, and if they have to start buying back some Covid lemons PLUS ADM, you can bet they'll be making the dealers refund that money back to them, and it further supports their new position of not allowing dealers to add ADM.
