First off, thanks to everyone here for the initial information while we looked into buying our ST. Big upgrade from our 2013 Edge and looking forward to driving it more.
Sadly about an hour after we bought it, the second time getting on the highway, we got a check engine light (Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Regulatory) and the acceleration just went away. That was Saturday evening, so of course there's no dealer service departments open, so our sales rep says come in Monday. I borrowed an OBD2 reader and saw P1016 (Wastegate Control Pressure Higher Than Expected). It still drove, just not quickly, so we ran a few errands. On Sunday the light was off when we left home, but came back on and this time was accompanied by a wrench and message to "Service Engine". At that point I noticed it would not go over 4,000 RPM, and threw a second code, P0234 (Turbocharger engine boost condition - limit exceeded/Engine Overboost Condition).
I dropped it off this morning with the odometer reading 188 (bought it at 81, and another 80 was round trip from the dealer home and back). Thankfully a manager stepped in and gave me an Expedition for a loaner, but really not feeling great when we had two warnings in less than 24 hours (and not even 60 miles driven). They said it could just be a reprogram/flash issue to get out of limp mode, but I'm not confident in that being a real fix.
The blend date is 1/9/20, so I assumed some of the early issues might have been cleared up, and maybe we just have a bad turbo/hose/cable/something. I saw one other post about P1016 but is this something others have heard about or experienced right off the dealer lot? Unrelated (I think) but it was also low on coolant, and of course missing the tow hook and rear deflector, but I'm not terribly worried about those issues all things considered.
