My 24 Heritage is full of electrical gremlins and its tarnishing my love for this truck. There have been three instances so far:
1. I used the remote start to head to lunch back during the summer and the truck started up, but would not respond when I got in the truck and pushed it to fully start. It wouldnt turn on, and wouldnt turn off. Wouldnt respond to the app. Ford Roadside Assistance was less than helpful. Had to wait for the 15 minutes to run out for it to automatically shutoff. Then had to jump it to get it to the dealership. They said it seemed to be the battery (on a truck I only had for about 4 months) and they replaced the battery.
2. The truck completely died back in November one afternoon when I climbed in to start it up. Had to have it towed and then it was at the dealership for a week. I dont think they every fully understood what caused the issue, but they replaced one of the the fuse panels.
3. Died several times a few weeks ago. Went out to run an errand, couldnt get truck to unlock, but could hear it responding inside the truck, just wasnt sending a signal to the doors. Finally persuaded it to unlock. Got in, started it up and it died 20 seconds later. Start it up again, same thing. Get my camera out to video it and of course it works, but does have a maintenance light on. I drive it the mile to the Pharmacy and it dies while driving down the road. I coasted into a parking lot, restarted it and then drove directly to the Ford Dealership since it was only a mile away from there. It has now been there for three weeks, they have no idea what the issue is and cant seem to get any answers from Ford Engineering. There are no mods the the truck, so its practically stock.
Love the truck, but losing confidence that they will find and/or resolve the full issue and that I will constantly have to worry about whether its going to strand me somewhere or not.
