As noted already.
Purge valve needs replacing TSB. Bet the fuel sender got bent, so the tank level isn't reading correctly.

Blend door on the hvac. Lube slip yoke for the driveline lash.

Ok well good then keep hounding them or try a different dealer.

Thanks - what would cause the fuel sender to get bent? Just asking for my personal knowledge?

The problem is/was is that when the purge valve doesn't work, the tank is under pressure and can't equalize. It sucks in on itself (a few years ago this was talked about on here a bit and one guy even posted a pic of his tank from underneath, all sucked up). The sender hangs down in the tank from the top, and gets bent, affecting how the level of fuel is reported.

Most excellent! Thank you kindly for the explanation.

I want to be educated enough when I take it in, just in case someone at the dealer tries to give me some story where I wouldn't know if it is true or not.

The local dealer, I have been told, will say the repair is not covered under the Ford Premier warranty and, charge full boat. That's another reason why I want to be be prepared.

Apparently the dealer doesn't get their full rate reimbursed under extended warranty repairs.

That sounds like bs to me.

That's why I'm traveling over an hour away to go to a new dealer!
