Forget about all the semantics with when it was first in and what not. The real problem is bumper to bumper is 3 years/36k miles. Look through all your warranty documentation and see if you can find a single thing about shocks. It is not legal for there to be limitations that are not disclosed to you.
I raise the middle finger at you taqueria ur a dumb d.I.c.k. Head. Probably give it too!
Tell Ford CS you had a mis-diagnosis at this miles and time. They can see it.
Problem fixed.

Who cares if it’s within bumper to bumper? If it was out that’s one thing… but it’s not. It could be at 35k miles and still get fixed if you brought it in that day.

Bumper to bumper does not cover everything. Your only hope is they made a mistake or you show them you first complained about the problem when still under warranty.

My dude read your warranty and the thread. All is good and they are replacing the stuff because the shock clunk covered under bumper to bumper.

I just purchased a 2023 37PP with 580 miles on it now. I currently feel the "thumping" feeling in the steering wheel and floor. It's currently at the dealer. I took the two main techs and shop foreman on a test ride, and they all felt the thumping. The tech said he posted this issue on their tech line and waiting to see if anyone has some input before taking things apart. I told him I believe it's the suspension/shocks. I will call them Monday and follow up.

I have noticed that it seems to start when the truck is driven for a bit/warmed up (maybe suspension cycling heat). I feel it when taking off from a complete stop, coming to a stop and when the suspension cycles up from a nice smooth dip.

I had my shocks diagnosed back in March. the determined the rears are bad but there is no ETA. Ford Exec Customer service Tarita Johnson has been following up and looking to expedite the shocks to the dealer. I do believe all 4 need to be replaced as they all feel the same but waiting on better ETA before I got back and pay another Uber ride 30 min away

My shock clunk saga has come to an end. All four shocks replaced. Less than four did not get rid of the clunk. The noise from the rears reverberates enough where it drowns out any clunk from the front.
