Update: I went in for my service appointment this morning (3/3/25) to have them replace the seat ventilation fans with the parts that they ordered, and surprise...there have been two modification updates to the parts since they ordered mine.
The bad news is that I have to wait for them to order...
I'm so sorry that you are having these problems. Not sure if reporting this dealer to Ford will get any results. If other dealers are taking care of it, they should be, too. For the record, I bought my car in Los Angeles, and I'm in San Diego. It's my local dealer down the road who is servicing...
My very responsive and nice service manager ordered the parts for both seats when I showed him the screenshot from this thread. The parts came in, but I've been out of town. I'm scheduled for December 8th to have the new parts installed.
Show this to your service manager jerk and demand that the...
I had to go out to the garage and look, because I never really noticed it. My hinge is very snug. Maybe you can put a tiny squirt of something sticky in the hinge to tighten it up? Can't think of what to use off the top of my head...rubber cement?
Yup, I'm a road hardware magnet. Third time driving it, backed out of the garage to go to work, and the passenger rear tire is a 8psi. Huge screw near the sidewall. Used the inflation kit and had it fixed for free at Discount Tires (and bought a tire insurance policy from them). New inflation...
Me, too! I put together an album for my '66 convertible (inherited from my Grandma) with all of the original paperwork, pictures, etc. Doing the same for my '24 Ecoboost premium.
Thank you for posting this information!
Iām at the dealer, and although nothing comes up related to my VIN #, when I gave them the service bulletin number SSM 52398, they were able to look it up and order two replacements for my front seats.
Theyāll call me to set up an appointment to install...
That's exactly what mine does. It's worse on the driver's side. I actually didn't really notice it on the passenger side. It was the dealer's service department that told me that both sides are doing it.
I think that we all need to go to the service departments of our dealerships, show them this thread, and tell them that they need to report it to Ford, because apparently they have no record of this being a problem.
I see a seat recall coming.
Thank you so much for posting this!
While mine is...
Thatās exactly what happens with mine.
Thatās interesting, because they said that they pulled apart both seats and compared them against the schematics, and didnāt find any missing/loose/damaged parts.
The guy seemed really sincere, and said himself that this is not okay.
Iāll go back and tell...
Mine makes that noise every single time, not intermittently. Is yours the same?
Were you/she there at the dealership and it wouldnāt do it in your presence with them watching, or did you drop it off and they said it wasnāt happening?
Iād make sure that they sit in the car with you so that you...
Has anyone had any progress on this issue?
I took mine into the dealer, and they had never heard of this problem, but I told them that people are reporting it in this forum.
The took both seats out and totally took them apart. No missing/loose fan covers or anything missing from the seat...
Welcome to the club!
First time out heading to work, backed out of the garage, and noticed the 8psi warning on the dash.
Discount Tires fixed it for free. Bought a warranty on the tires from them, too. You can do that, even though the tires are from the dealer. Great investment. Love them!
There was a $5K markup. I told the dealer not only was I not paying the markup, I wasn't paying MSRP. They said "okay," but I ended up at another dealer that had what I wanted. Paid below MSRP.
