    ***AND ANOTHER UPDATED*** Sorry if it feels like I am spamming the forum, this is turning into a soap opera. The Ford rep who is handling my case called this morning to see if I picked up the vehicle, I explained I was getting it this afternoon and she said she would follow up in the morning...

    Thank you. Have been a Ford guy for 30 years and love the way the ST drives. IF they buy it back I will get a newer ST (if the 2022's every go on sale with the chip shortage), or a Lincoln Aviator. I will update the thread.

    Great forum, both happy and sad to see other are having many of the same issues I am. Happy in that I am not alone, sad that others experience the same frustration. I love parts of my ST but I am at the end of my rope dealing with constant and recurring problems. Sadly I dropped my ST off at...
