    Stupid question

    I never use AndroidAuto because I don't want to connect the cable every day. Also Android Auto and Carplay have a half screen for the maps which I also hate so it's not just the plug. I'd rather see Ford's map full screen than Google map half screen. Also, I love having SiriusXM and I only pay...

    Features

    The definition of adaptive cruise control is that it adjusts your speed with the car in front of you to maintain a set distance but they later added stop-and-go which comes to a complete stop and then moves again. My 2013 only had the adaptive cruise control without the stop feature or...

    Lumbar support returns to zero

    The memory settings have no memory on mine and never have. i always have to reset them after I take it to the service department and they move my seat. My settings never go exactly back to where they were before. Almost always I use the massage feature which pretty much negates my lumbar setting...

    Wi-Fi weak problem.

    My ST is in the driveway about 50 or more feet from the wireless router inside the house. So I never have a very strong signal. Even on the street on Xfinity wifi it's weak too.

    Wi-Fi weak problem.

    I no longer use WiFi for updates, as the USB download and installation is so easy and fast.

    I really hate it when…

    I can relate being somewhat OCD. Also this vehicle had 3 flats in 2 years, only one could be repaired when new. I've had new tires less than 2 months and got another flat last weekend. Really bad luck! I feel like I need to buy 8 tires and store the extras in my shed. I'm getting paranoid! LMAO...

    New SYNC Update 23188

    So far I haven't needed a master reset or a soft reset since the update a week ago!

    Ford web Dashboard vs onboard settings

    It fixed my problems as of last weekend. I downloaded and installed it within an hour on USB drive. Floxx you're lucky you didn't have to live with it as long as I did. I was annoyed by this for almost 5 months.

    New SYNC Update 23188

    Yup that's what I did last weekend and it worked like a charm. BTW, I never paid for a map update but I got a free one back in early May and tried to download and install it last weekend via USB and it failed. I think maybe the license is expired after several months sitting in my email inbox...

    New SYNC Update 23188

    It will solve the map half screen problem and all the others complained about here for months. Just download it on the ford owner website. Mine took under an hour to download and install using a USB drive. Wifi will usually take longer.

    My ST died today

    My fuel pump was replaced at about 10K miles. It stalled and would not restart.

    New SYNC Update 23188

    I'm a 40 year Ford fanboy but I'll still admit that this fix should not have taken almost half a year. Many started having symptoms back in March or April. Also, I've read about many people having to pay for a new APIM out of pocket after the warranty expired. They should all be reimbursed. This...

    Ford Pass not always connecting

    Update 23188 over the weekend solved my FordPass problems too! I went 3 months of not connecting and then intermittently until this update.

    New SYNC Update 23188

    My Sync features are back to normal too after the update yesterday. My camera is mostly fine after the replacement last year. No more blue screens.

    6 Faults and AWD Module

    This should be under powertrain as mine was. I had ESP but it wasn't necessary and no charge for diag or deductible. 42k miles.

    Air Conditioning.

    For four years mine has stayed in auto at 71 degrees during hot and humid D.C. summers and it's always nice and cool. In the winter I keep it at 69.

    Mind of its own!

    I've had this intermittently for years but haven't had it looked it. It only happens a couple times a year lately but a few years ago it was more frequent then stopped. It has never killed the battery I guess it shuts off sometimes before I even discover the problem. I usually know when I open...

    Mind of its own!

    I've had a glitch with the headlamps switch malfunctioning where the lights come on when the vehicle is parked and when you get in, you will see that the amber indicator light on the switch panel is off even though the lights are on. Once you turn them off and back on the amber light comes back...
