Not sure about your state, but in Texas, lemon law and buybacks do not apply to used vehicles.
I'm sure the BCM availability is the issue. Call Ford customer service at 800-392-3673 and get a case started, they may be able to help the dealer get it resolved a bit quicker.
11 years at Leus and I have similar stories. It all boils down to "give a shit" Toyota has it, Ford does not. One of the VPs at Takata committed suicide when the airbag thing came up in the early teens, he was embarrassed that the problem happened on his watch. Thats a bit extreme unless you...
6 years with Ford, total of 47 in the dealership service business including Cadillac and Lexus, and my main take away is the Ford cares noting about anything other than selling a car and seeing it go over the curb. The accountants dicate to the engineers, hampering what they can do. Example, the...

The first 2 steps look to be about 2 hours. AS to the visibility, I won't know til we do a few and I can go look at one. Probably Monday, several salespeople have interested buyers and the were calling them yesterday!
I will post the entire procedure on Monday when I get back to work.
I wouild not count on it. You know, there is a lot of talk on the forum about "stealerships" and those of us who have made a career in the car business, but I have stories for DAYS about how cutomers have tried to cheat and flat out fuck us over. With rare exception, every time I've tried to...
