Is it safe to assume every 2017, ecobost engine will get coolant intrusion?
I purchased a used 2017 and everywhere I’m reading theses vehicles are dieing.
If this happens to me I will be forced to go bankrupt.
Wtf is wrong with Ford.
Pissed off Canadian here.

I read an article on Ford Authority about coolant issues with the EcoBoost engines. Is Ford doing anything to correct the problem? I currently own two vehicles with the 4 cylinder EcoBoost engine

I just read in Ford Authority that the new Lightening will no longer have AM radio. In case Ford doesn’t know, AM radio has made a significant resurgance in the past few years. Even though I wouldn’t buy any EV today, it is still a big mistake to eliminate this radio band.

Just received my 2022 F150 platinum, which was ordered through Long McArthur Ford; First, let me state, that I have been a Ford buyer since I was 15 and I’m now 72, but I was truly hurt and disappointed in the product. The truck looks great but I feel that my 2019 was better equipped.
On December 31, 2021, I placed my order for a 2022 Ford F150 platinum, with a 3.5 Ecoboost, 701A package.
The interior was to be Carmel and the 180 Degree on the seats (was my dream), the aftermarket was a hardshell bed cover, spray-in bed liner, and a couple more items. The truck was delivered to my residence on 8/6/2022 and I was disappointed that it didn’t have the 36-gallon fuel tank, the seat was canceled (by Ford) on 7/25/2022 according to the Long McArthur dealership, no more automatic windshield washer, and a couple of small items not worth mentioning. I felt that my dream truck was taken for granted; I feel that this truck was the first that broke my heart as a Ford in not getting what I ordered.
I will keep the truck only because I love the Ford but next time, I don’t know.
I did get the spray in bed, the mud flaps, and the bug guard and window shields.
Loved the color, but the seat was my dream, and a 36-gallon tank, my my my. But for 78k, I thought it could have been just what I or

With the new F150 Lightning pricing it looks like dealers have the ability to “earn back” an additional 10% from Ford for meeting certain standards when ordering an A plan Lightning. Is it invoiced using the traditional method which would provide the A plan customer with that margin like it used to?

As one of what I am sure are thousands of customers waiting for their 2022 Maverick build for almost a year, I am shocked at the lack of communication from Ford.
I can understand and sympathize with the lack of chips and other parts to build these vehicles. What I can’t understand is why Ford is not more forthcoming with news as to what’s going on, and how the order process will work. Instead I have to rely on rumors, misinformation, and wild speculation found on various forums.
I worked for 28 years as a public information officer for a state law enforcement agency. One quickly learns that when you fail to take control of the message, others will attempt to do so. If Ford has an office of consumer information and a spokesperson, they have completely dropped the ball in disseminating information about the Maverick production and order process. Is there an actual date for reorder as 2022 orders roll over to become 2023’s? How will that process work? Will people who have had an order for months have priority over those who place new orders? What do customers need to do and what do dealers need to do to get things converted and get their vehicle in the shortest possible time? Most of all, what is the huge secret here that the questions customers are asking can’t be answered?
One would hope that someone from Ford reads some of the posts in forums and takes the pulse of their customers. If so, they would know the questions being asked and could conceivably publish an official FAQ site. Would this not be far preferable than dealing with the disinformation we’re getting from various non-official forums?
We understand these are challenging times and surely Ford is not producing all the vehicles they would like to. What we don’t understand is why Ford can’t be more forthcoming with accurate information and specifics on what’s being done to address some of these problems.

It seems there are a lot of us still showing IN PRODUCTION when Ford CustomerCare has said produced, in my case on July 8. According to the Forums, Bronco sports produced just prior have been delivered and others are on the way to dealers. Ford says no hold, no problems but seen to not know why no movement or update in a month. If there is a Ford rep that monitors this site please give us a valid reason for the delay and don’t use supply chain and rail service because it doesn’t seem to affect other Badlands.
