So that would imply by the end of June I would presume. Seems they keep delaying it ...

Yes they will. It's called MY2013. Order banks open June 26 (aka around the end of the second quarter).

4 weeks came and went....
My case worker (yes I still have her. Had to win her back after using my mention of council...) stated 4 and a half weeks ago that Ford would have a fix in 4 weeks. Now they are saying the end of June?
Everybody has had this friend that dated real a wack-job? Every time you saw this friend he went on and on about the madness and abuse? You eventually say, dump her! He doesn't but you have the privilege to hear his mystifying stories of inhumanity and outright abuse anyway.
In a strange turn of events, I am now that guy. Everyone I know hears my troubles with this truck and keep telling me to dump it. FMC promises a fix and I'm in it for another month or so. I think it may be time to dump this old girl.

I sent Ford and my dealership a letter today that basically puts them on notice. The bucking surging, hesitating, rattling steering, dashboard squeaking is one thing, but a complete loss of power when accelerating onto a turnpike is now a safety hazard. I almost caused a pileup between a bus and a tractor trailer. I have been driving for 35 years and never had a vehicle die like mine did. I had to drift to the side of the road and shut it off and back on, and it drove ok afterwards. Funny part... no check engine light. This truck has sooooo many issues. How many of these did Ford test drive. Was the one in the torture commercial the only one.

I want to go back and quote my posts. I really do as there have been many and throughout the history of this thread. BUT, I'll say it one more time just for the heck of it.
Ford will NOT be releasing a fix. At least not in the sense you are all thinking they will. Ford has been delaying a fix for this for over a YEAR. Here's the thing. They know something is wrong. They know what it is. More than likely it's an expensive fix. So, through upper management number crunching they've come to the conclusion that it would make more financial sense to absorb a few lemons, lose a few customers and delay as long as they can until a certain percentage of owners are out of the warranty period before releasing a fix. Most notably this fix will be released after the next model year is released that already has the fix being implemented in the build process.
This is business 101. And I've been saying this since this thread started. I'll put money down that things happen damn near exactly as I just described.
It's not that Ford doesn't want to fix these trucks. It's that they don't want to pay to fix these trucks. They want YOU to pay for the fix.
Or buy a new truck that already has the fix.
