    Deep Sleep Mode

    Don't give up on it! My dealership has fixed everythiing for me the past 3 years and I'm keeping it. I had a lot of work done on mine over the past 3 years. The latest is I took it in for an oil change 2 days ago and asked them to check my CV boots/joints. They confirmed both sides are leaking...

    Chime Change

    I believe this is a federally mandated safety thing with Fords & Lincolns and probably other brands when the Sync system is down or updating or low votage or other electrical or audio problems. My 2013 Lincoln used to do the same thing once in a while, from the dashboard/steering column area...

    Driving home to Dallas-Winter Storm Mara

    Slippery Mode keeps power going to all 4 wheels all the time. If you put up display on the dash you'll see the difference.

    Back-up Camera Issues

    That's exactly what I did back in late 2021. Then it started happening more and more frequently so I took it in for the recall early 2022. Interesting that this one is another software update. But if it happens again after the update, they will have to replace the camera again.

    Back-up Camera Issues

    My 2020 didn't have the issue until about 10,000 miles or so or about 11 months. Then it got worse and worse. Then they updated the software which didn't fix it. So they replaced the camera about a year ago. It's been better but still get the blue screen for a second or 2. Before it was blue...

    Mustang GT during cruise control, only in Sport mode.

    The trail and deep snow/mud mode also have F-150 I believe. Every major YouTube review in 2019 about this vehicle talked about this cool feature. Ironically the Fusion was discontinued the following year!

    Difference between model years

    How many miles? Mine was 11/19 build and had a slew of problems.

    Difference between model years

    2021 added gloss black interior trim and different front seatbacks too.

    Are you out of warranty?

    Theft

    I haven't had the club on a vehicle I've owned since 2002!

    Back-up Camera Issues

    That was before the camera replacement for me. For almost a year, I've never had to restart the vehicle to have the camera come back. It comes back on its own. So it is "better." It's good enough that I haven't asked them to look at the problem again. The software update was Ford's BS solution...

    Back-up Camera Issues

    Mine was not fixed by the software update from the recall so the camera was replaced almost a year ago and it works better. I get blue screen occasionally but it only lasts a second whereas before it would stay blue until you restart the vehicle.

    Autostop and heat shutting off

    It's supposed to turn the engine back on or stay on if engine warm up is needed. Also in summer when AC is running it's supposed to keep the engine running to keep the interior cool. I would recommend setting the temp higher on the HVAC to keep the engine running longer. I am more annoyed with...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    Unfortunately I can't see mine anymore because I had my dealer order and install the missing air deflector back in April 2020, which was left out of many of them. I like having the cleaner look behind the bumper with that black deflector but now I can't see what you're showing but I have photos...

    Fordpass or Forscan

    It also tells you if you have a leaking tire before it's too late and totally flat. In the first 3 months of ownership, I noticed on the app that one tire was lower than the others, right when lockdown began in March 2020. I drove straight to the tire place and had it replaced under warranty...

    Windshield

    I've used EZPass in mine and it wasn't even mounted on the windshield. It was in the center console and it still worked.

    High Mileage Explorer STs check in!

    It's really sad that problems like some of the ones I've had in my 2020 11/19 build are still occurring after recalls and repairs on mine and others as well as later model years up to and including 2023 models. For example, the TSB and recalls for the camera issue and exhaust noise doesn't seem...
