FWIW, I don't think it is a short trip driving issue, but is definitely a high moisture issue. Mine happened after driving about 350 miles, with only a couple of potty stops. When it happened, it had been raining steadily for several hours, and I had been cruising at about 65 mph, when I decided to stomp on it.
OMG! You've already had the problem with your new '13. Man, that sucks. I really hope they get the issue straightened out for you. Right after that lengthy thread you had. I knew you were gambling but I was hoping it wouldn't happen as easy or as soon.
The program won't help as it can't magically make the condensation stop occuring without active cooling control on the intercooler which just isn't there and would be very expensive, highly complex, and questionable at best. I hope their new programming doesn't limit your throttle position or reduce performance in trying to keep heat down.
Did you notice a reduction in performance? Did they state to you what this program is actually doing to reduce condensation?
This really sucks as I really am a happy Ford owner. I wish Ford would stop screwing around and put some real money in fixing this problem. We have water separators in our equipment at work and a solenoid controlled drain valve would also work, but at what expense to performance. With 2 less efficent intercoolers, maybe condensation wouldn't form in the first place. But they need to get off their butts and do something proactive to fix this.
I wouldn't let it end there, I would demand some guarantee that if this isn't fixed you have adequate recourse so that you are not harmed.
