That’s possible, but I doubt it. The work was done in early ‘22, and this is not exactly an uncommon problem. I think it’s more likely that the company that spends billions more than anyone else in warranty costs just sucks at quality control.
I don’t disagree. But I know a lot of people who drive F150s and Expys who
didn’t abuse theirs, and the general trend is they start having regular problems around 100k-125k miles.
Of the dozen or so F150s my friends and relatives drive, they just start falling apart sooner than Toyotas. Almost every one of those trucks is 8 years old or less.
Interesting anecdote: a friend of mine who got a $8k repair bill for his 2013 ecoboost at 113k miles also traded his in on an LX, just like
@skrypj. He said that his F150 was a great truck…until it wasn’t. And you just never really know when that time is coming. Based on everyone’s experience around me, I’d have to agree.
