Hybrid Owners Electrical Issue poll

[IndyHavoc]

Had a funny one the other night; not something I've seen/heard on here as of yet. Listening to podcast via Spotify. Playing with switching the main screen Off (button on far right under screen). Off went the screen, podcast keeps playing. Dozed off waiting for dad-taxi pickup. Roused myself and hit the button couple times to get the screen back on. Audio stops when screen comes back on. Audio will now not play ANYTHING. Switch to music, nope. Switch source away from plugged-in Android Auto. Nope. Make bluethooth call, no problem. Audio 5x5. Switch back to Spotify (bluetooth only), Nope. Crank volume up until laser-beam pew-pew sounds, np. Still no playback. Switch to local AM/FM, no audio. Decide to pull key (all off), exit truck for 5 seconds. Back inside, key on. No audio whatsoever. Yipes. Did full check. Speakers working 100%, just head unit will NOT play any type of audio whatsoever. 15 minute drive home and worried a little. Parked, went to sleep. Next morning all back to normal.

Really odd and if anyone can reproduce, please chime in. No idea what triggered it or why, but both my kids were in the truck and we tried everything we could think of (including pairing different phone, pluggin in different phone). The Head unit literally just decided it was done playing audio from any source for the night!

How do I know if I am having an electrical problem before it gets bad? I have 250 miles on my new 23

My understanding is that this was mainly an issue in 2022 hybrids with build dates through early May 2022. So I would be hopeful that this is not an issue in FY2023 models. Enjoy your new truck...loving mine!

Ford likely won't do anything considering deep sleep is part of the system. Maybe on occasion replace a battery here or there but in most cases deep sleep is here to stay.

What bugs me the most is extreme hot or cold (mostly cold). I want my car / truck to start and not leave me stranded considering on occasion my kids do ride in the truck.
