Just received an extension letter today in the mail, it is dated April 28, 2023 and is from Ford of Canada. The gist of it states the 21B09 "program has been extended to July 31, 2023, regardless of distance travelled." Back down the rabbit hole, I had long ago come to grips with not paying 700+$CAN for a 275$US part. My northern Ontario Ford dealer said the program was a surprise to them as they had not yet heard of it. The dealer will look into pricing and call me back. This thread addition is just to let others know the program appears to be extended, if anything major develops out of my call to the dealer I will add it here. UPDATE: dealer just called 668$+tax, free labour to install. BIG nope, basically extended the program but changed nothing else.

Yikes!...two Ford dealers in town, one estimate is $750+tax and the other was $670+tax with me paying for installation. Yes, I pointed out that installation is included in 21B09 BUT I still had to point it out and have them look at the price again. Beginning to get the impression they may just not want to do this job. Maddening, as I am one of the ones that forked over the cash for an extended warranty. No point being made here just a rant. Hopefully they come down in price as I will not do it with those numbers...which will upset me even more having a car with a "button" that does not work.

Nothing earth shattering with this post just saying; a letter arrived today (Sault, Ontario) re-offering the 4g modem replacement program. The CSP #21B09 stayed the same but the program date has been extended to (on this letter) March 31, 2023.

Sorry, this falls into one of those "ya me too" posts... just my screen shows the second last comment was in 2015 and the last comment Feb 3 of this year. Seems pertinent to say that my Fusion also has the same problem. Mine is a recent purchase, Nov 19, from the dealer at 135km on the odometer, 2018 model Fusion Energi. The sound is coming from the front passenger side and sounds/feels exactly like a worn brake shoe rubbing, metal on metal (same sound described by others on this thread). I have the extended warranty plan for 5 years and when it goes in for the 6 month check I will ask them to look at it. Easy to reproduce the sound, just no time to take it in now I need it to perform. Will post again after that. Cheers,
