Things to check after taking delivery

[GoldBeach]

Took my 2021 gen 3 in for 3 vehicle recalls and the fan inverter noise. Recalls no problem.. the fan noise they said “i spoke to my rep and it’s supposed to be like that so there’s nothing we can do”… i sent him the TSB i found off a quick google search and told him about this forum and it’s listed here… the fact that i had to find the TSB for him and not him just looking for it in their system really aggravates me. I hate when they try to pull a fast one and push it off because they don’t feel like dealing with it. Thanks for bringing this up in this post and others. Saved me from having to make multiple trips back.

I took my truck in twice and gave them the TSB number both times. They still tried to tell me it was normal and no action was needed to correct it. But after picking it up the second time the fan noise was gone and hasn't come back. My paperwork still says they could not replicate the concern.

Took delivery of my ‘22 AMB late last month and was fairly clean outside a few QC misses for my inspection:

Loose black and yellow tape throughout the interior, undercarriage and engine bay from assembly.

Front shocks still covered in assembly plastic and partially hanging ~a foot on each side.

Hardened/dry glue or adhesive on driver upper and passenger upper inside windshield. 2-3 inch drips from outside>center; potentially excess adhesive for windshield during build?

My driver seat cover was unclipped with loose stitching. Few minutes work to redo the stitching and re-clip. Good as new.

I really love AMB but the paint has a number of imperfections (2-3 short hairs or dust dried in the paint across the body, lighter splotches across hood , clear coat imperfections, etc.). Based on the build timeline I’m guessing it spent weeks in outdoor winter storage. All my vehicles get a lot of off-road miles so minor imperfections will be all but invisible soon comparatively, but it’s maybe a C+ paint job.

All fuses were seated enough to make contact, but none were fully seated.


Notes from the past few weeks post delivery:

No obviously loose fasteners throughout the interior, engine bay or undercarriage.

No “clunk”.

During break in I’ve had 3 instances of undesirably harsh downshifts at lower speeds (each instance was at speeds -25mph and during the first 400 miles, now at 900 mellow break in miles I have not seen it since). I chalked this up to adaptive transmission tables learning during break in.

On one occasion my entire infotainment power cycled while I driving. It was a 10-12 second reboot to black screen/cut music>ford performance splash page>back to CarPlay and my previous jams. Chalking this up to a SW crash/computer things.

Happened to look behind my rear wheel and found this just laying on frame below bed

On your next visit, have them print, for you, a copy of your truck’s OASIS (vehicle history of all completed repairs). This will tell you if that TSB was done or not.

Ok so I took delivery of my 22’ 37’ PP end of last month, had it delivered to Los Angeles.
So far at 500 miles.
The R buttons forgets it’s settings, EVERY Single time. No matter how many times I save it.
Siri & ok ford do not like working in start up.

Weird idle while stopped,
Slight but noticeable.. I figured since it was bought in Texas it was probly filled with 93 and here in Cali all I have is 91?
I’ll keep an eye on it.
When doing the double pull on the driver side window switch the passenger side front window does not like to go all the way up after release and will go back down on its own.
I don’t know if it’s because the window tint or what?
Also they still leave the plastic on the shocks.. extra protection I guess.

on my other car it was a convertible. I no longer have it, it had an issue with the auto up on the window, it turned out when it was almost closed it bound on a guide on the A pillar. must have been a safety issue so it didnt bind and break. I assume its something like that. hope that is an easy fix for at least the window part

I had uneven tailpipes and a rattling subwoofer. Both are fixed.

Did you make adjustments to your tailpipes or did the dealer correct them?

Dealer correction

Bought a new 2022 with lots of options and some of the items in the original posts were the same in my vehicle. seems no correction is happening at factory.
