Same here, 2023 SYNC3. I was told by a dealer service rep that SYNC3 will have no more updates forthcoming. I have had trouble for 2 years with getting any useful info from Ford or dealers why my one year old vehicle at the time was no longer being supported.
I suspect the SYNC4 owners may...
For those who think just swapping the battery from flooded to AGM will solve the Battery Saver Mode alerts I can attest that it is not the solution. On my 2023 hybrid I replaced my battery after 2 years of alerts with an AGM and used ForScan to change battery state of charge from 80% to 100%...
If you use FordPass app or have the remote start FOB just start as normal and gas motor will kick in as needed depending in outside temp. On my Lariat the drivers seat and steering wheel heat activate when itās cold out and heater starts up and after a couple minutes the cabin and motor are...
Same issue with my remote start keyless entry at least twice a week. Iāve had it in my front pocket and leaned against a kitchen or bathroom counter and set off the alarm and just today had just hung it up in a cabinet and walked away 2 steps and alarm goes off. PIA for me and probably the...
I have owned a Quickjack lift for several years for my Porsche and it works great. My only issue is the quick connect hydraulic fittings. The instructions mention using the lift periodically to keep the seals from drying out which will lead to leakage. I typically only use mine once or twice a...
My 2023 hybrid has been flawless mechanically since new with only issue being the constant battery saver mode now resolved-after I replaced the original with AGM and set SOC to 100% with ForScan. Iām agreeing with your wife about replacing it as it seems to be such a hassle for you.
My ā23 Lariat Hybrid had 24 FordPass Battery saver alerts over about 40 days.
Never fails to start but just an annoyance. Finally hooked it up to the NOCO charger overnight and no problems for two weeks.
I drove on the freeway to my dealer about 10 miles away for routine maint. visit and had...
For those hoping for a rotary shifter alternative I saw that the 2026 Mach E has eliminated the dial and moved the shifter to the column. Maybe there is a change for the Mav in the future?
Iāve had the same/similar issue on a couple occasions. In my case none of the presets would activate and no response from any other inputs for sound, nav etc. and only way to get it working again was to restart the truck.
I have been seeing a message in the Ford.com vehicle dashboard for 18 months telling me that my SYNC3 updated are disabled. After bringing my truck in for yearly scheduled maint. I asked the service advisor about it and was told there would be no more updates coming for SYNC3. The service...
I have been seeing this message on my Ford website vehicle dashboard for 18 mo. after updating my SYNC3 to 3.4.23188:
āIt appears there is an issue with the uploaded log file. Our team will review shortly and update your account to reflect the current version of SYNC in your vehicle. We...
1. Front parking sensors ( This has been rectified on 2025 Lariat but would be nice on all trims as on the Ranger )
2.Optional factory fog lights or plug n play Ford authorized accessory add on.
3. Last used setting retention for Drive Mode.
Re:#4 Iāve had the pre set buttons issue several times but in my case the SYNC3 system was frozen with no response from any buttons and no volume control for about 8 minutes. One of the issues I will be asking my dealer about at my next visit in August.
I bought a 77ā last winter and I laid it flat with tailgate up and partially hanging out.
No issues and the store employee was the one suggesting that based on previous experience. Those things are typically well packaged with lots of foam block.
Without actually inspecting it I would speculate that it may be the paint cracking due to temperature fluctuations of the seam sealer or possibly adhesion issues. If itās just the paint and not the seam sealer itself cracking it prob. isnāt a rust concern but if the seam sealer is cracked thru...
Iāve had my 2023 Lariat for 20 months and I have never gotten anything other than the same message as you, no connected services available etc.
All remote services work as intended and vehicle is connected showing current status of tires and location etc.
I have no clue what āconnected...
