Problems With a Day Old 23' Premium

[ragequit310]

Hate to resurrect an old thread like this, but if your car was built in August 2022, then you don’t have a 2023 Premium. You have a 2022. They didn’t start building 2023 models until November of 2022. Are you sure you bought the right car?

It's a '23 - it was built in November - I mispoke

Yes, it's under California law. I called Ford customer service and I'm going through them first. If not there is the BBB auto line.

California law states that if a problem cannot be fixed in a reasonable about of time or attempts then the car is a lemon.

For anyone going through these issues, please educate yourselves. Here is a great guide:

It's unacceptable that Ford can ship out cars that don't work. Don't listen to other members on this forum doing weird fixes like pulling out the fuse under the glove box.

Report it and get a certified technician to fix. Under lemon law they track the mileage that the problem is first reported. Also if you screw up your car then you could void the warranty.

I'm a engineer and I have the technical means to fix the car. I am not going to do anything myself. The MSRP on my car is 55k and I expect a polished and quality product.

Were you able to get your buy back?
