We got second hand 2015 had the first battery replaced under warranty.
Has not missed a beat since.
Still getting same milage as when we first got it. Battery replaced I think in 2020.
Ford replaced my battery on my 2013 while covered under 8 year drive train warranty.
How many years would you like ford to cover for?
Have have people I know not able to get engine parts for a car under 5 years old.
It was a bit of a disappointment.
Yes you will need it reprogamed. With out the leaf tab you can not see battery state of charge.
Also settings for cabin precooling ,preheating and value charging.
I had to get mine redone on my 2013.
Check coolant level.
Have dealer do a coolant system purge. Ask them to do it twice. This will get rid of any air trapped in system and if one of the coolant valve are not working it should show up while they are doing the procedure.
Hope this helps.
My nephew's light ring replaced twice. I think it was done under warranty.
He drives 2012 ffe.

Great car. No problems.
