Thank you so much for this list and the supporting information. Now that I know about these issues I can educate my local dealer if they try to side step it.

Anyone else experiencing a slightly rough idle when stopped with the transmission in Drive (e.g. at a traffic light)? Idles at 500 RPM and there is a slight shudder perceptible. Not terrible but noticeable.
Just noticed it today while in the drive through, if I shifted to neutral RPMs would bump up to 700 rpm and the idle would smooth out. Sitting in the drive through line while in drive with my foot on the break RPMs would fluctuate between 500 and 600 and I noticed a bit of shake. Not sure if the rpms are supposed to be that low in drive?

started having a rotational noise. Found that the front driver side sensor wire is rubbing on the wheel. Can anyone else check yours to see how its routed and make sure its not rubbing as well?

It looks like yours goes up and around from the bracket and mine continues downward past the bracket.

Took the truck to get PPF’d this morning and the detailer noticed this splotch. Feels like there is no clear coat over it. Looks like I’ll be taking it back to the dealership for the body shop to fix. Anybody have similar issue?
We have seen random/minor blemishes on the gen3’s, none that I’m aware of in that location.
maybe the tech installing the fender Vent pushed a little to hard on fresh paint.

‘’’hope the dealer takes care of you. Thankfully looks like a small‘ish spot.

Thank you @GoldBeach. Yeah, it appears to have a twist causing it to go up. I pulled some slack out of it and moved the slack up towards the upper arm. At least it clears the wheel now. F5C5F14D-6FAE-4EDC-A472-EB655A2BDD73.jpeg41D877F0-CED2-4D04-9EA7-FE7373B7EFB5.jpeg

Where is the transmission coolant lines that everyone is talking about? Tried the search to no avail. Don’t have mine yet but want to know where to look. TIA

Check out page 4. Half way down is a post that shows a picture.
this is one of the two coolant line issues. The one page 4 shows in the front engine bay the line rubbing one of the pulleys.
the second coolant line issues is under the truck/skid plate where the line physically plugs into the tranny cooler. It’s not fully seated/has a clip preventing it from seating the entire way.
