The shinny outer shell is aluminum, and the dealerships use a pneumatic impact wrench to remove and install the lug nuts, which distorts and stretches the aluminum. My dealership using this method also chipped my wheels - as the lug nuts come off the sockets swings around a hammers the wheels. When I confronted the dealership about the swollen lug nuts and damage to my wheels, he responded that they use torque sticks - well that only helps not to over torque the nuts, the impact action still destroys the soft aluminum shell. He ordered a full set at no cost to me. BTW, there is existing threads on this topic.

This could be a latent defect - quite possibly related to the glass annealing process. Annealing (glass) - Wikipedia If no warranty cover wouldn't the insurance cover this?

It sounds like the evap valve has failed open and allowing raw gas to to be drawn into the engine, and its poisoning the CAT, and the code is a result. That is a whole lot cheaper fix than injectors. Until you get it fixed, don't fill up above 3/4. It appears that you've been using unqualified mechanics who've cost you more than needed - if you can't DIY, you will be better off searching for a reputable independent shop or go to the dealership.

I'm not familiar with this model, but would be surprised if a 2019 uses an MAF, more likely an MAP.

Exactly. If the creator of that video is in fact a qualified/certified mechanic, shame on him for attempting to deceive the public.

I call BS, and it does not match my experience and the general consensus on this forum.

I have a 2017 2.7L 6 speed and its smooooth. Not sure if its the same transmission as the 2.0L

The cheap generic devices may work with Forscan, but they typically don't read all Ford codes, as was my experience mentioned above. I've read mixed reports on resetting the BMS using headlight and brakes - Forscan is all I consider for that.

Rabbitslayer reading the codes is the best first step in diagnostics, but learn from my lesson when buying an OBD2 device. I suspected that I had a stored evap code, but it didn't show up with the cheap OBD2 device I had, then I bought the OBDLink MX+ and it downloads Ford specific data, and it found that I did have a pending evap code. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JFRFJG6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You could also get it read free of charge at a place like Autozone, although I have read reports that their readers don't always find existing codes. I see a few folks recommended that you reset the BMS, but you never responded to them.

That is a symptom of a bad evap valve. What did you use to read the stored/pending error codes? - the first OBDII device I used did not show any codes, then when I got the OBDLink MX it showed an evap pending code.

When was the service done? How often to you check your oil level? Not likely that the oil cap will resolve the P144a code.

Ford Support | Emissions Defect Warranty I changed mine at around 5 years and 75K miles and didn't give any thought to emissions warranty, but reading that I'd expect the evap purge valve should be covered.

F0RDM0M yes, mine was past 60K so on Premium Care until 100K. It will be covered under warranty. Mine hasn't hickuped once since I installed the new purge valve.

"Seems like a lot of waste" would be a personal opinion, but interested to hear how you came to that opinion. A quick forum search should answer your other questions.

More surprising is the number of people that buy that kind of thing.

Don't think an extractor will work well on the 2.7, but you should be able to extract just a little if the tube diameter is no greater than the dipstick width. Fast, Clean Oil Changes - Edge ST - Ford Edge Forum

Wouldn't that apply to just about every brand out there?

Not easy when they're hellbent on making enemies.

Which NGK plugs do they have on Panda?

That's a good deal, but I'd be concerned with it shipping from China, but most likely safe seeing some of the positive feedback left by those that have purchased this kit. I paid $1,300 for my wife's Mustang, and that included a new controls panel/bezel and tech support - I can put any interested parties in touch with this seller.

For the PTU I would go for one of the top rated ones in the below list, which is for 75W90, but still a good guide for 75W140. I've been using Royal Purple and Redline but considering a change to Amsoil, oil Mobil-1

You should still have the bumper to bumper 36K mile warranty, and if so, let Ford fix it.
