computer updates

[Loisrose]

Wow it was scary, was driving on a surface street and all of a sudden when I was pulling away from a light I had no power, to move, did have enough to get into a turn cutout and stop, then enough to get across the street to a side street. All the little warning lights came on, main one said I was going down hill and it was holding me back! well, managed to do what I needed with a little power, then get it back home (had a 2-1/2 week old baby with me!) called the dealer, said to bring it in as now just the check engine light was on, after stopping at a auto parts and having them do the check engine thing show nothing. Told it would be a few days to diagnose. got it to the dealer and she pulled up something on her computer and it had 3 pages of issues. It needed a computer update!!! and each item had to be individually addressed. being I'm in good with my service manager she was able to get me ahead of everyone and in 5 1/2 hours I had me "alien" back. It had only been a month since it was in for recall service and such. It was scary as my truck is a 2022, and 2 years, 4 months and only 22,579 miles. Anyone else have these types of issues with the computer needing to be software calibrations or any computer issues?

Where have you been? The forum is loaded with threads like this. Look around do a search. Ford may have fix for problems created by Recalls performed prior to the end of April, finally! Nobody's sure yet as the problems took a while to manifest after the recall work was done.
Edit: See "Limp Mode Fail Strikes Again" thread by @RadioDoc.

This is definitely something you and everyone with this type of issue should report to NHTSA because it is a safety issue. Their phone number and email link is on their site:

Don't apologize, this forum is full of nasty opinionated individuals who are snarky and will take more time to complain Tbag simply offer advice or answers! How about some civility people? Been saying this for months now... sign of the times and the nation

agreed. It is not hard to just be helpful. Most people don't mind taking time to draft a response to complain or argue. Instead, they could just be nice and link a few helpful threads to answer the OP.

If one of the MaverickTruck.com moderators could research the possiblity of a fix being available in April 2024 that would be awesome. That way we could at least manage our livelyhoods accordingly. Not expecting miracles or even a complete answer, but just letting us know that something is in the works can go a long way. I am sure many in here would appreciate it. If you (moderators) cannot, I understand. But can you tell us who to contact? Please? With Tremor powder on top?
