yeah it's a serious problem. My ex wife has gotten into my vehicle taken Checks stolen watches and forged my signature on checks. I changed the code when I saw she was commiting fraud but because we weren't officially divorced yet there was nothing my bank could do I had to eat the fraud even with a clearly forged signature in my checks written to her father. I changed the code to protect myself as my.bank said we can't issue another bank account if you give away your personal information so easily. Then she's in my truck again stealing my watches and new checks and opening my stuff and commiting fraud against me and how am I to run a business with no bank account and pay for my children and all the bills and the lawyers I need to pay more to get rid of this crazy women for once and for all. Ford ****ed us all over this way she read the code in my glove box in the manual years ago and clearly I'm dumb and get robbed again even though I changed it for good reason. Little did I know it wasn't really a new code to get. She just used the original one. What a joke.

So your wife (if you arent divorced, shes your wife) opened your truck stole stuff and forged checks? Married or not, forging checks is illegal and there are avenues you can take to correct that.
You bank said they wont give you another account "because you give away your info too easily." How do they know anything, i can log in right now on any of my 4 banks and start another account without invoolving any humans. You need a new bank.
You changed the code and put watches and checks in your truck again?
Theres a lot to get from this paragraph but Ford dint **** you. You got robbed, put valuables in your truck and then got robbed again, and need a new bank....all have nothing to do with Ford. It says right in the owners manual that the original code (master) will always work despite the code being changed. Sounds like you have a lot going on...id get a new bank, make sure all your money goes there, dont put valuables or anything of value in your truck ever, and start talking to a lawyer about her signing your name on documents, especially checks....and if her father knew about it id press charges on him as well.

The only way to change the factory code is to completely replace the module it's stored in, which is very expensive. That's why when you buy a Ford, the first thing you should do is remove the little card, and then program your own code. Of course anyone with two keys, or who knows the many places the factory code is printed, can find it.
