Funny thing is I NEVER got an idiot light and it always checked "OK" when I ran the onboard status check thing.
There's a reason we call it the "Idiot Light"! It won't show a problem until about 5-8 psi. Can you imagine how much damage you can do with pressure that low? It's crazy.

Glad to hear Ford is stepping up and fixing it. I know where you'll be going (not to mention recommending) from now.
