Hello all, well I just purchased a slightly used 2023 Raptor R. The day after I get it home I noticed it is having the slow to start issues many have talked about in this forum with the warm starts. Took it to the dealer and explained what it was doing and what yall have said. I started it to replicate it for them and it did the extended crank however did not start. So they are aware it is something and working on it. While it’s been in the shop I did some digging on the prior maintenance on the truck. I called the original dealership and found out the motor was replaced due to 3 cylinders being bad. They replaced the motor and then had to replace the motor again for bad seals. So this truck is on motor 3. All within 12k miles. It is also having this starting issue and it was giving a low voltage code when they ran diagnostics. The dealership I bought it from in Texas certified it gold standard and said it was just fine. My question is this truck a lemon or does a bad motor just happen like any other part that goes out under warranty. I have owned it for 2 days and I am now highly nervous.

Thank yall
