I don't have any advice on the sunroof. I would however go through that whole truck checking everything you can and get it taken care of while in warranty. I'm sure everything is good though but that's what I'd do if something broke two days after I bought a truck. I'm paranoid as it is, that wouldn't help my paranoia lol

Oh believe me I have. So far this is all i have found. I know that feeling all too well. I came from owning a Nissan titan 60k on the clock and had to put a new rear diff in And the manifolds were cracked.

Damn, I had a 2008 Titan, traded it at about 50k miles due to a bad divorce but I never had any issues with that thing.

I'm sure your good with the rest of the truck, those sunroofs have been known to have some issues. Your dealership should get ya taken care of.

The moonroof was probably broken when he bought the truck...these moonroofs have not received great reviews on here. I spray Fluid Film on the track of mine and have (hate to say it) not had any issues yet. The key thing is to keep it lubricated- especially if it is not used often. Also, you may want to check your heated and/or heated and cooled seats of you have them. They have been problematic with the F150. They have and upgraded seat pad available for the heated/cooled seats from Ford. It took 3 visits for the Service Dept. to realize the problem with mine.

Also check to make sure your rear defroster works(if you have it).

Mine works when it wants to.

Having read about premature failures on OEM sunroof mechanism and also Nav, both of those options were omitted when I special ordered my own truck. Subsequently, I did buy Ford ESP coverage with maximum time of coverage rather than maximum miles being the priority for my overall low annual driving usage.

Everyone's needs are different and clearly everyone didn't buy new. Good luck with repairs...

Nice. Don't be leery, you have better than oem parts now. So enjoy the hell out it.
Nothing better than an open roof on a nice warm day.
