Well, it was 2 ******* months to the day. But the truck is finally out of the shop...kind of. It initially went in for 3 issues all covered under extended warranty. 1: Starting issue, 2: Backup camera malfunction, 3: Broken dip stick tube.
3: The dip stick tube was replaced, $22 part, 8rs of labor, had to remove the passenger side header.
1: They started by changing the fuel vapor purge canister, against advice, and it didn’t fix the issue. So they replaced the starter and that so far that seems to have fixed the starting issue.
2: The ******* camera. So first they replaced a the Audio Control Module, did not fix the camera. Then they sent to Ford to inspect more thoroughly, Ford replaced 2 more modules. And now the camera works, but there are no backup lines, and the zoom button in top left doesn’t work. Also when they disassembled the console. They cut both Push to talk buttons, and the harness for the Switch Pro coming from battery is no longer connected to the switch, and the harness is no longer even visible in console, and on top of that the mechanic left 1 foot of the cut PTT wire buried in the console.
So needless to say, I took the truck and advised the dealer that the electronics will now be getting fixed at my trusted electronic shop and they will be billed for the repairs.
