About a month ago a message popped up on my screen asking if I would like to participate in Ford’s radio listening survey. I laughed and thought what the heck since I rarely turned on my radio and tapped “yes”. A couple days later the radio would turn on automatically when I started my truck. At first it was funny but after a couple weeks it became annoying. Another message popped up and asked if I wanted to continue in the survey. This time I said “NO”! Problem is, the radio still comes on intermittently when I start my truck. Then on Monday when I turned off the radio the screen froze disabling navigation, etc. Fortunately it unfroze the next day.

I’m scheduled for recalls on Monday and hope the software updates will take care of this. Anyone else experience som like this and found a solution?

I have a radio issue where the radio will shut off and won't come back on unless I turn off the Truck take out the key and open the door then restart the truck and push the radio on button. It is annoying at best especially if I'm going 70 Miles an hour down the highway. It also won't support my 160 Gig I-Pod at all so i have had to put music on Thumb Drives in order to listen to what I want.
