    New Sync 3 Version 3.4.22251

    I agree with the above. These problems are persistent, sometimes intermittent, sometimes more severe. It varies as time goes by. The past 2 days I've seen the top half of the map several times after weeks of only the bottom half of the map showing on start up. Ford better fix this soon. I am not...

    Infotainment wont stay in dark mode

    How do I get the older version of Sync 3? I still have 22251 on my USB drive but that's the bad one.

    Infotainment wont stay in dark mode

    Mine is so bad I can't complete a master reset. I tried several times.

    Infotainment wont stay in dark mode

    The display and background setting is the most subtle symptom which starts the ordeal of no retention of many settings due to lack of memory. I've been dealing with this for almost 2 months. A master reset helped at first until the memory got full again. The most annoying things are radio...

    Shaking and vibration while braking at high speed

    Mine just started doing this the past few days. I have almost 40K miles. Weird coincidence!

    Radio going crazy

    Warranty or not, I'm reading that the fix that Ford does now is replacing the APIM but many have said that is the same as reflashing the APIM and and software. But the flaw in the software causes the rwdata folder to get full and run out of memory. This is why the problems get worse and worse...

    Radio going crazy

    There are many discussions on this online for all version of Sync 3 with the latest software 22251. My problems started in April and have gotten progressively worse. Now I have no FordPass at all and the bottom half of my map is gone. Master reset helps initially until it runs out of memory...

    New Sync 3 Version 3.4.22251

    2024 Explorer refresh will have gigantic screens across the dash! Back in early 2019, the current screen was considered oversized. Now the screens go across the entire dash. They've gone screen crazy! Honestly I'm so fed up with this latest software glitch and memory loss that I may never update...

    New Sync 3 Version 3.4.22251

    I'm really getting fed up with mine. I did one Master Reset about 3 weeks ago and it only got better for about a week until it ran out of memory. I get half the map every time. Last Friday, I did 4 or 5 soft resets while driving for the map to come back gto full screen. Every time I start, my...

    Auto Start / Stop

    Auto-hold, now that's one feature I can never live without! Whenever I drive another vehicle, I am annoyed to have to remember to keep my foot on the brake so the vehicle doesn't roll! LOL

    You can change that arrow in the settings/preferences.

    And not one dent….

    I wish I could say the same thing about my 2020 ST, when it was just 10 months old, it got rained on by my neighbor's tree's acorns in my driveway. It left several dings in my hood. I was so upset! The following year the neighbor had the tree pruned and no more acorns!

    Active Braking is DANGEROUS!

    I have learned to avoid the reverse brake assist deployment by backing up more carefully and slowly. As for the active braking/collision alert for forward collisions. It has scared the crap out of me on 2 or 3 occasions on the same stretch of road near my house. Coming around a turn, an alarm...

    Leaking oil?

    It should be under powertrain warranty like my 2 front CV axle replacements a few weeks ago at 38K miles.

    Black wheel touch-up paint

    This happened to me last September on the same wheel. It was traumatic but I'm over it for months now. Mine is not that noticeable fortunately and I rarely look at it.

    Updating sync to the latest version of a home Wi-Fi

    Fingers crossed the update fixes everything and the battery won't leave me stranded again like in 2021!

    Updating sync to the latest version of a home Wi-Fi

    This was the second time in 3 years I've had to do a master reset. The first time my GPS was stuck in the wrong location and would not update with a soft reset. The master reset did the trick.

    Updating sync to the latest version of a home Wi-Fi

    Battery did cross my mind. It is almost 20 months old and the original battery from 2019 lasted about 19 months. I don't have any other battery symptoms like slow to start or auto start/stop not working but then again I didn't have any symptoms the first time the battery completely died with no...

    Updating sync to the latest version of a home Wi-Fi

    I've been having intermittent Sync and screen problems the past month or so. I did a master reset and it made the screen move faster and eliminated some but not all of the issues. It still randomly tunes to AM or FM instead of the last Sirius channel I was tuned to. Also my number of preset...
