I noticed green fluid on the ground under the rear motor. It is slick to the touch. Holy Moly only a few hundred miles on this truck. I'm going to make a service appointment - any ideas what this could be? I've included a picture. The color is similar to a coolant color.

Were you able to get underneath the truck far enough to see a source of the liquid?

Here is the picture from the area it is leaking. It is coming from somewhere above the area I was able to take a picture of. The fluid in the picture is not the source and is running down from that area. I was able to reach in there and touch that area which feels like a Styrofoam cover of some type.

That is coolant used to cool the lithium nickel manganese batteries. Your the third lightning I’ve seen with this issue. Not good

 

[JG93619]

Ugh! How difficult is the repair on this for the dealership?

 

[Autry024]

This is something that is new to all of of us battery cases and battery coolant systems are sealed under precise pressures. What caused what no idea, I hope it’s a quick remedy for you

 

[JG93619]

Yes, EV209 please update us when you have something.

That sucks!
What's your build date? Last four numbers of the VIN, if you're comfortable posting it?

Good morning! Can you privately message us with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer? I will look into this leaking concern on my end. Thank you!

Private message sent - thank you

Curious how this one turned out...

 

[EV209]

The truck will towed to the dealership on Tuesday to be looked at. As you can see above, the Ford Motor Company reached out to me after seeing my post. I've been speaking to representatives from Ford throughout the day. I was not expecting that nor was that my intent. I'm extremely appreciative that Ford contacted me and will be monitoring the situation. I will provide an update when I have it.

Wow, Go Blue Oval. Great of them to be proactive.

And for all who rip on the dealer model, right here is great example of the benefit. My nearest Tesla service is 240 miles away.

Ford also doesn’t rotate my tires in the driveway while I’m not home, so there’s trade offs. I’d personally take the one off discomfort of Tesla over the dealer model all day everyday.

 

[X1lclem]

So far, my dealer is doing well. They didn’t add any markup, and are eager to answer all my questions.

Ford actually wants the current dealers to become upgraded service and client interaction centers where you can go and see models, get service, but deal directly with Ford in no haggle/markup pricing. We shall see

Unless I am wrong on this I thought the whole battery pack is lowered with just 4 bolts or not many more anyways so hopefully that is a fitting into the battery pack easily torqued or something simple like that, green goo on my new driveway = please no ford!
