BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW OCTOBER 2020 AND CHECKED THE OIL AFTER A MONTH HAVING THE TRUCK HAVING 1600 MILES ON IT AND THERE WAS NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. IT'S A 5.0 COYOTE V8. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND THEY ADDED 5 QTS OF OIL! THERE IS A TSB OUT WHERE THEY CHANGE PCM SOFTWARE AND REPLACE THE DIPSTICK. SHOULDN'T THIS BE DONE BEFORE I TOOK THE TRUCK HOME IF THEY KNEW ABOUT IT??

THE VEHICLE BROKE DOWN , AFTER A WEEK OF BEING AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY CAME TO A CONCLUSION BASED ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT THE VEHICLE WAS, ALLEGEDY STRUCK BY LIGHTING WITH NO VISIBLE MARKS THE FORD DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED THAT I SHOULD PUT A CLAIM IN THROUGH MY INSURANCE SINCE MY VEHICLE IS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM UNDER ACTS OF NATURE WHICH I DID. I THEN CONTACTED THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND HAD THE TRUCK TOWED ON 9/11/2020.AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPS AND OPENING A CLAIM THROUGH CORPORATE FORD AND THEN BEING DENIED I REACHED OUT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY AFTER THREE INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL'S AND NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS ALONG WITH EMAILS NO ONE HAS RESPONDED TO RESOLE THIS ISSUE , IT HAS BEEN ALMOST THREE MONTHS NOW WITH NO CONCLUSION AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS DENIED MY CLAIM DUE TO THE INCOMPETENCE OF THE FORD DEALERSHIP.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE SERVICE APPLIED FROM THE TECHNICAL BULLETIN, BUT NOT MUCH RELIEF FROM THE LOSS OF OIL. I HAVE TO ADD AT LEAST A QUART HALF WAY BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I WOULD LIKELY LOSE 2 QUARTS OR MORE BETWEEN OIL CHANGES IN TOTAL. I HAVE BARELY 5000 MILES, 'FIX' APPLIED AT 2500 MILES. AT 5100 MILES ALREADY OVER A QUART LOW. MOSTLY CITY DRIVING. SOME PULLING OF SMALLER RV TRAILER. TRAILER WEIGHT IS 5800 POUNDS.

ENGINE
OIL CONSUMPTION ON THE 5.0 LITER V8 ENGINE. THE ENGINE IS CONSUMING OIL WITHOUT EVIDENCE OF AN OIL LEAK. FORD HAS A TSB FOR THIS 19-2365 WHICH COVERS YEAR MODEL 2018-2020. THERE ARE OTHER TSBS FOR OLDER YEAR MODELS WITH THIS SAME ENGINE. FORD SAYS LESS THAN 1 QUART OF OIL CONSUMED IN 3000 MILES OR LESS IS NORMAL. THEIR FIX IS A LONGER AND WIDER DIP STICK AND A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THIS DOES NOT FIX THE OIL CONSUMPTION. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE ENGINE BLOCK WITHIN THE CYLINDERS.
