2018 Issues

So I recently posted about the water issue I was having in my truck. It appears that they have fixed that but now I am getting a check engine light. The freaking truck only has 8,000 miles on it and has been to the shop more times then my previous vehicle....Anyone else experiencing this with their new truck? Don't get me wrong I love my truck but my gosh this is ridiculous.

Sorry to hear about your recent problems with your truck but you`re still under warranty so just take it in and have them check what the CEL is for.

Sometimes new vehicle owners have the bad luck of getting a vehicle that has a few problems.

No kidding on the bad luck.... I am trying to take it in strides and just be thankful it is happening under warranty. I would rather work out all the kinks now under warranty instead things not being covered!

I hear you man and you have a great attitude.
I hope you`re able to get everything fixed so you can enjoy your F150.

Let us know what happens.

I wouldn't get discouraged. Just a few bugs to work out that can still create a lot of frustration having to return to the dealer several times. No it doesn't happen to everyone. I've got a 2018 F-150 Platinum FX4 3.5L Ecoboost with a little over 5,000 miles on it and haven't had any issues. The only thing I have to do is take it in for the latest TSP for the transmission retainer clip inspection and I'm doing that on the same trip for an oil change.

So I got word from the Dealer that is was a broken "fuel tube support bracket". I am starting to think that was cause whenever they were messing around trying to find the water leak a couple of weeks ago. Well hopefully at least it will be as good as new!
