What owners report

Fuel/Propulsion System2026-09-27
I have checked fuel door close and open properly but still the sign shows. i am afraid of engine light comes on later

Exterior Lighting2026-09-25
Should be able to simply repair my daytime running lamps at a reasonable cost. one of them is now dim, causing lower visibility for other drivers. ford's cost for me to repair was quoted today at over $2,100. simply put, unreasonable! this is an issue that has effected several vehicles.

Exterior Lighting2026-09-24
Daytime running lights stopped working. unable to fix unless the whole light assembly is replaced.

the issues associated with this recall still dont seem to be remedied. i believe a solution should have been provided from the manufacturer by now
