My Lariat ER is sitting in a RR yard not 20 miles away from where I live, its been there for over a week, but Ford will not let my Lightning be released to my Dealership because of the Battery issue, production stoppage. I Thought I had read Ford was not stopping the sale of Lightnings just production, guess I was wrong. I had been so excited to finally get my Lightning and now I have to wait another 3 weeks. I am at the tipping point of just calling the dealership and canceling my order. Just venting....

Some articles suggest 5 weeks after Feb. 24 before the fix is in - then time to fix it so you may have 7 weeks to wait. Production is stopped and stopage for those in transit - bad luck - and unsold apparently sit too.

Me to mine is also in a railroad yard,waited years now this 3 more weeks !!, I can really relate to your frustration,does anyone know what Ford has come up with, I know they identified the problem but what is there plan to resolve the issue.What actually changed in the production of the batteries? there seems to be some sort of rift between SK and Ford especially when they announced there building a proprietary manufacturing facility for the new technology batteries that we should see in 2026.

The latest is NO ID on the problem - where is the link story for otherwise? Plus in other articles 5 weeks past Feb. 24 they may still be no production of the vehicle or solution set for frozen at a site vehicles. The Ford F-150 Lightning Battery Problem Is Spreading

Do you have any other or better sources than Motor Biscuit?

Do you have any sources at all?

Mine is in Cottage Grove BNSF auto drop-off yard, how crazy. My dealer also had no idea about the battery issues or stoppage. Not for sure they even believed me after telling them what was going on....ugh. Glad you finally got yours and hope there was no damage waiting in the RR yard for weeks.

Ford dealer staff love the catch all "the dog ate my homework" excuse for anything and everything!

So close yet so far away. Yes I actually went to the RR yard to see if I could find my Lightning....my OCD is kicking in 🤣

Oxford white / same wheels as my '23 it looks like.

Tri-coat Oxford/ER & ceramic - Michelin tires like mine? Ask the dealer for a discount given battery challenges!?

What kind of issues - so far lucky here but a test of all electronics is a future task. Ford has the highest recall issues the last 2 years by far.
