The auto hold mimics the feeling of the parking brake being on regardless which is why I mentioned the possibility. After 3+ years my parking brake has never activated on its own so seemed like a reasonable thing to look at.
I ran mine under the rubber door seal next to the headliner all the way back using a plastic trim tool and bundled the extra wire behind plastic trim behind rear seat. No tearing anything apart and took 10 min.. Not sure whether you are mounting inside back window like I did or using an outside...
Brake fluid should be flushed every 2 years regardless of mileage. It’s been SOP for decades since brake fluid absorbs moisture over time and becomes less effective and can cause brake system corrosion. Cheap insurance.
Same here on several occasions on my ‘23 hybrid even after swapping to an AGM and resetting max. state of charge to 100%. I remember a service bulletin issued regarding false alerts in FordPass but I never have pursued that with my dealer since it happens infrequently for me.
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 it’s 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. I’ve 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. I’m agreeing with your wife about replacing it as it seems to be such a hassle for you.
My ‘23 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?
I’ve 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.
