It seems you have two broad pathways to resolve the issue: 1) the state's process and 2) Ford's, either of which could be assisted with the help of a lawyer.
My interpretation from the Texas DMV website is the law defines a process involving arbitration. The customer (or their representative)...

OP, sorry to read you've been having such problems. You've already been digging into options and ways ahead.
FWIW, I see two pathways:
1) try another dealer and start over. Dealers are not paid well for warranty work. And this...
An average from this thread is about 8 mi / 13 km at pickup. However, Ford will randomly pull cars to drive through their test track at Flat Rock, for additional QC checks. The average of these latter cars is around 20 mi / 32 km and below. Putting a car on the track is not an indication of...
Shipping any of these vehicles, especially by rail, can take time.
Vehicles are moved in full or close to full carriages and trailers. At each waypoint, shipments are broken up and sent their separate ways. They won't move from that rail yard or depot until the boxcars and trailers are full yet...
FWIW, I'll summarize my thoughts on these topics.
I'm not making excuses for Ford. Your interests are valid. Given context, I'd not be concerned. Each of these issues, if they do occur, are covered by the factory warranty. IMO, I'm not seeing a greater increase in problems than other...
Salut. Welcome to the forums. :like:

This thread highlights another topic: user data. The car is capable of saving Wi-Fi password hashes, cell provider data, phone lists, navigation references and all that. I haven't looked into it, but the S650 should give the option to factory-default all infotainment systems, erase all your...
If FORSCAN-like access is later achieved, it could be turned-off that way.
As @Decio mentioned, there are User Interface options available now.
Personally, I like the fuse. There's no way anyone is listening with it physically turned off.
Some find the module itself and remove it or...
If you go to Page 292 in the 2024 Owners Manual, you'll be given a map of the Body Control Module (BCM)-A unit fuse panel. Fuse #8 is in-line with powering the car's Telematics Control Unit. Removing that fuse will disable the systems and software of concern, without affecting the drivability of...
The answer is, "Yes." Ford Mobile technicians are capable of removing the belly pan.
My '22 had a minor Body Control Module recall. I was able to schedule mobile service for the software patch. I chatted with the tech while he was completing his task.
The mobile vans are standardized to all...
So, there's a few things going on.
If you look at the top of a Gen 3 engine, you'll see two PCV hoses:
1. Right side of engine (facing car). Goes from front of throttle body to the valve cover.
2. Left side of engine. Goes from intake manifold to the valve cover. Connection has PCV valve...
The primary source for the gases of interest is the underside of the pistons, what gets past the rings, all of which are part of the same cavity in the bottom of the engine.
The oil galleys from the heads to the pan are not completely full of oil at any given time; this is proven by the gases...
I'm not sure anyone has measured the draw when the car is off.
Ford recommends driving the car at least once every two weeks; it is around this time that Deep Sleep Mode will often engage; it should not be entering that mode more frequently than that.
If Deep Sleep Mode is coming on sooner or...

I thought this was a good write-up explaining the thicknesses of PPF.
The notation of thickness is "mils" or thousandths of an inch.
While some installers might offer differing thicknesses, most cannot maintain an inventory like that and will...
In the pictures above, there is red, black, silver and white. While the red and the black are working well together, the other colors are not.
Option 1:
- Red car
- Dark tint
- Black rims
- Black badging
- Black-only stripes
Option 2:
- Red car
- No tint, or "lite" tint*
- Existing rims

Slides 29 and 30 show defaults increasing across all age groups; it's a tell things are slowing down.

Yea, things are a tight fit all-around.
The oil filter is on the opposite side of the engine; that gives us confidence it is not loose.
A leak from the oil pan or drain plug would be more in-line with the center of the car.
If at all possible jack the car up, support with jack stand and peer...
