Other fords have issues but maverick is something special. Look at my post regarding our factory window stickers indicating "battery saver mode" as a feature.I had my 22 Mav in for an oil and filter change today. They did 2 software updates also. I mentioned to the service writer that I was having the "deep sleep" issues of the message on Ford Pass and the interior lights not working. She had heard of the issue and would check on it.
When I got the truck back, the invoice showed:
"Customer says every few days Ford Pass app will say vehicle is in deep sleep mode. When opening doors interior lights will not come on when this happens but will start."
The results were:
"Tested for concern. Found battery at low state of charge. Tested, charged, and retested battery. Battery tested good. At full state of charge issue is no longer present."
So, I guess they didn't think the battery would be charging on the way to the dealership.
I have a question. I've seen some messages about putting the key fob in something that will prevent the truck from communicating with it. I'm assuming this is while it is not being driven. Is there a specified distance I should keep the spare key fob from the truck to prevent constant communications with it or am I misunderstanding this issue? Thanks.
I think it's a failed feature they implemented at a much more aggressive algorithm than other models, and now it's an issue.
I'm also convinced that fixing charging software would result in lower fuel economy. Not a good look for Ford.
Lastly when o got my first deep sleep mode, I did call a couple dealers and both places acted like o was crazy. Never heard of deep sleep....
