Not the only one. Mine has been in twice since June. All of June and July and half of august. “Fixed both times”. Just dropped it off for a third time. Ford has had it almost more than I have this year. Very disappointing. I love the truck but I almost don’t want it anymore. Almost.

And now they have to reprogram the pcm again. I don’t even know anymore.
If you've been in three times with no success, you are dealing with inept service dept. / technicians. Switch dealers, and make Ford corporate aware of the shortcomings by your current service dept. You will be doing everybody at that dealer a favor by making them either hire more qualified tech's or get their current tech's real assistance from Ford to get work done correctly.

Ive been looking for a 1970 or old with body pretty sound to order a Ford Performance crate motor to drop in. I want to get back to a truck I can work on. Been to a couple Mecum auctions that run a couple thru but the bidding was beyond what I would pay.

Brand new and YOU can work on it! Ready to RACE!

The next project!

I assume everyone is going through same process. Took truck in for recall - did the program did not fix it - when I picked the truck up it was running - drove it home - started it up later in day same rattle. Called the dealership and I quote “Yeah we heard that but we needed your permission to go to next level”. I said you never called me and just let me leave the dealership. Now it is back at shop and I called yesterday and they told me waiting on parts 2 weeks including new cam shaft and sprockets. Mine is under the 60k mile mark so all on Fords dime -

Am I the only one with poor service on this recall or are others experiencing the same?
I think technicians are just challenged by the repair. My experience was a nightmare. San Leandro Ford Store
