Dropped mine off at dealer this morning

Design problem on the cooled seat backs IMO. Long thread, don't know if you've been reading it all.

Yep....been reading all along. I figure that I need to have a repair order on record reporting the problem.....we all need to do this.

Sorry to hear you have to go through all of this, with a new car there shouldn't be this many issues right off the line

please keep us updated! Im dropping mine off for dash replacement week after next. Im pretty nervous about it.

 

[lwilliams]

I will get mine back in about an hour. I will update you all with how it went.

I spoke to service manager this morning. He says he went over the inside and out with "white glove treatment" and that it is 100% perfect.

I hope that is the case.

All 4 tires were displaying equally at 38, 39 or 40, depending on temp. Used a digital tire gauge to measure at valve stem where they were reading 34 psi each.

Interesting. I only have the old-school stick gauge which I used once and it did not match the car's computer - but I wasn't surprised since it was a stick. Maybe I need to get a digital gauge and check it. Is the re-learn something that only the dealer can do?

wow

It never occurred to me to double check the digital computer tire pressure reading. I had that on a GM car but I never verified it. I will from now on.

Man I am so curious if the dash install looks good and undetectable.

1. No scratches, scrapes, cuts, etc. The car, inside and out, looks almost perfect.

2. Almost because - NEW dash has a BUBBLE in almost the same spot...about 2 inches away from where the first one was.

3. PROBLEM--- Sirius radio not working....display says SATELLITE ANTENNA FAULT.

Another new dash is ordered. Taking car in tomorrow morning for the Satellite antenna fault. I bet they did not plug it into the radio!

^^^ WTH !!! That sucks about the replacement dash already has a bubble. Sounds like the spares may suffer the same problem ... not a good thing.

Aw sorry!

I can't believe they didn't check/see the bubble in the replacement and installed it. :headbonk:

The SM said he inspected the new dash and said it did not have the bubble.....guessing that it happened after sitting in the sun.

That's not good. I'd be inclined to wait until Ford figures out why they are bubbling and come up with an updated dash to fix the issue. Chances are the spare dashes they are using could do the same thing. I'm kind of glad I have the fake stitched dash pad (non premiere trim dash).

Uh oh. I REALLY hope that's not the case because then that means it has the potential to affect many more owners that haven't yet had their cars sit in the sun.

Up to to 3800 miles and haven't yet parked my car under hot sunlight. Actually, I did once for 4 hours, but I had my sunshade propped up so it didn't get direct sunlight.

Don't drive through Phoenix anytime soon!
100+ degrees here.

 

[lwilliams]

Update: Saturday morning.....they connected my satellite antenna. Sirius works.

But the SM told me he won't order another dash until talking to Ford CSM because he figures that all the new ones will do the same thing.

CSM is supposed to be calling me too. I will certainly push to get this replaced at least once more.

 

[lwilliams]

The second replacement dash is at the dealer but they still have not called me to have it installed. Could be because they are waiting for a car to let me use. It took 10 days the first time. I hope it takes less time for this one.
