About three times a week I read a thread on here with a title like "Do all ecoboosts do [fill in the blank]". Mine never seems to do any of those things. I'm taking it back to the dealer on Monday. Lemon Law, here we come. I paid a lot of money for this ecoboost. It needs to have all the features.

Do you think these issues will be covered by the warranty?
You mean your transmission didn't leak from the factory because of a manufacturing error or that you don't have any driveline problems that Ford cannot resolve because you don't use your truck as a truck—because you use your truck like a soccer-mom around town and belittle others who have legitimate problems?

That it or do you have any other self-serving, attention-***** remarks to make?

Don't take my questions personally because I'm smiling, and when people smile, they can say anything.

Everyone understands the tone of your post.
And it would have even been slightly funny until you started with the humblebrags.
example: " This truck listed for almost $52000" - let me guess though, you got a deal on it, right!?
I was watching tv last night and saw these awesome knives, they retailed for $280 for the set.. but i got them for... ready for this?.... $19.99 + $9.99 postage and handling !
I was really hoping you'd go into detail about your yearly earnings as well.

I'm glad you got that off your chest though.
I'm guessing he included it because every thread about f150 issues has at least one, usually multiple posts that claim, "I paid $xx,xxx.xx for this truck so it shouldn't have a problem." No humble bragging, just plain sarcasm.

I'll bet you're really losing a lot of sleep over it. I can relate to that because I didn't get all of the things that others have complained about either. Maybe we should file an official complaint with Ford.

Clap, clap, clap!! Hooray for the OP and this thread. The F150 is the best pickup made and the Ecoboost is a wonderful engine. I really wish the mods would move the complaining threads into the stickies. Sometimes it seems like this forum is nothing but a bunch of threads about the same two or the issues.

I am glad to see that there more people going through what I am going through! Warms my heart to know I am not alone.

That's about the most asinine comment I've seen on this forum, and that's saying quite a bit. Very uncalled for flame towards the OP.

You DO get sarcasm, right? That's all the OP was trying to point out.

Now my third cousin, once removed, has a fiance whose brother-in-law bought a 5.0 and it makes 743.2946 HP at the rear wheels as measured on the Bu-TTox Dyno, and his 5.0 has all these features.
X-2 my truck doesn't have any of these
