I apologize for the rant.
Can't speak for anyone else but no apology needed on my behalf, your frustration was clear to read and you did not come across to me as anything other than anxious and eager
Glad to hear things may be going the right way and you can get back on the road
Big, I can also understand your predicament being so far from the dealer, but he still is your point of contact Surely? He's closer than the factory, can exert more influence than you should he want to and has supplied you with the product, thus is legally obliged?
If you are having no joy from your dealers then the factory need to know this and I would respectfully suggest that you contact them directly rather than just through a somewhat anonymous forum. I know for a fact that the factory are going beyond their obligation (IMHO - legal not moral) to try and resolve.
As I mentioned, I spent a year driving my Raptor wondering about chassis failure; I'm pretty sure there wouldn't have been a hope in hell of me getting any assistance or come back if that had happened
Your situation is different.
