This is what I'm afraid of. I have the printout from FDRS with the full code. It will also show for 90 days in the web view that techs can see when they pull up my cars info. Ford Corporate also knows that the code was cleared and they said it wouldn't be an issue.
Did you ask if your new dealer has a battery sled and the equipment to test the cooling system? You're gonna need those...
I had cleared my DTC for SVS as well before I pulled into the dealer, it's not an issue as it is saved. Just be aware that you have no power limitation with it cleared but could get bricked if you're driving it and use too much power.
So did you get your 20 bucks?
I dont think 20 bucks is worth going back to that dealer
I did not drive my GT like a grandma and mine went at 11,516 miles if that is helpful at all. I DCFC twice in that time, but mostly home L2 charging.
Turo is realy great for this. You can find basic vehicles for even better prices than a rental agency. Worth a look anyways.
Tech I spoke with said this dealership actually has 3 EV Techs. They only expected it to take 3-4 days and they've done this repair before already.
I was already reassured by Ford it wouldn't be an issue, but printed off the FDRS readout just in case.
I wonder why they quote so long if they are actually starting to work on it? Other than waiting for the part, it is a day job, I thought.Just got home from dropping off the car at the dealer. Drop off process went smoothly. Noticed as I was walking to my Lyft they had a Lightning Pro that I snapped a pic of. Too bad I couldn't have used that for my loaner.
Then, After getting all the way across town to the airport to pick up my rental, they ran out of cars just before I got to the counter. So I get to go back tomorrow and try again for a rental.

I also have already gotten an update from Ford that they confirmed the Dealer has my car and has started working on it!
I think the main thing is they don't know exactly how long it'll take to get the part. Hopefully only a day or two. but We'll see. They have to do the diagnosis first to open the warranty case, then can order the part once that is going.
FWIW, I'm pretty sure @Neil4Real never DCFC'd before his GT got the HVBJB SVS. And I know at least a few got the HVBJB SVS while driving in Whisper mode. But yeah, avoiding WOT events would be a good idea especially if you don't have the flexibility to deal with the issue unexpectedly. (I'm actually considering the reverse and trying to cause the problem to ossuary so I can proactively get it replaced. But I'm still on the fence on that one.)
