didnt lemon it because there was never an issue of the dealerships not attempting to fix it. i always took it in and they always accepted it with no questions asked. i didnt want to lemon it because i thought it would be fixed under the warranty. i didnt want to abuse the lemon law. but now that its coming to the end of the warranty, i may have no choice but to try.
update though. they found the issue with water. everytime i hit a small puddle the wrench light would come on and a large reduction of power. turns out my pcm is bad. covered under warranty. starter problem requires dropping transmission. covered under warranty. still waiting on 4wd issue, but fremont ford in riverton wyoming has done more in the last 3 days than all the colorado dealerships i have been to combined. for those of you that know me, i will pass many close dealerships to get to the right one. riverton is about 7 hours from my house. earlier this year i drove to sacremento, 18 hour drive, but i dont care. they have been great so far. and to prove loyalty to a dealer who is taking care of me, i would make the drive to buy a vehicle from them..... if i ever buy another ford..... so the verdict is out on 4wd still, but i want to say thanks to @
WyoStorm for helping me out with this one finding a dealer who isnt about crappy service
