Default Im about to just give up

Like the title says I'm about to just give up on this truck. My 13 f150 is in the shop and the can't figure out what is going on with it. They have had it almost 4 weeks now. I did have it for a couple of hours the other day and it did what they said that they fixed. I'm about to just go bananas without my truck ((. What is going on is that I would be driving or at a stop and all the gauges go to zero and all the warning lights come on and if I shut the truck off it won't restart. It been in the shop now after having it back for a couple of hours this will be the fourth time for that same problem. Before anybody
ask they have replaced the pcm and checked wiring. And yes it is still under extended warranty. The truck has only 41xxx miles in it and I bought it with 29xxx miles on it a year and a half ago. And it has been to two different ford dealership. Has anybody else have this problem and what should I do from here is there anybody that I should talk to or anything? I mean they say that they are working on it and I have talk to the shop foreman but really four weeks not having my truck is starting to get ridiculous now.

Sorry to hear man....let me assure you that most of these trucks run just fine, so it's not like the F-150 is a bad vehicle but looks like yours has a "hint of lemon".
Without knowing anything about how these things work I would check/replace the KEY. If you have an aftermarket remote start check that as well.

They have hunted down all the grounds the second time it was in the shop. And they did find that one was bad but it is still doing the whole problem. Yes I do think it's the PATS system too bud but they won't do anything about it yet for some reason.

Get out your pack of manuals you got when you bought the truck and look for the lemon law booklet. Sounds like you may be nearing the point where you can exercise your rights.

He purchased it used, so I think the lemon law doesn't apply.

Default Lemon Law

Not sure about lemon laws. However if you purchased the vehicle with a warranty and it was sold Not As-Is than you may have some consumer rights.
Contact the attorney generals office in your state. or meet with a consumer advocate attorney.

Probably why the original owner got rid of the truck with only 29000 miles on it.
