Including post from later in the thread on how to do an immediate report via SYNC

The next time that anyone encounters this, ideally while it still shows you have reduced power, please go into the sync menu and submit voice feedback. Please state as clearly as possible what has happened and what you were doing. This sends a short data log along with the voice recording and that data may be the key to getting this figured out
================================================================
My truck reduced power to 56% on one trip. I shut down and restarted and it went back to 100%.

One interesting thing I noticed. I had a hunch to check the energy usage display and it showed that the front axle motor was not moving the truck nor was it recharging the battery, also the front axle seems to contribute 44% of the total drive power.

I had come home to work on the yard and left after charging for 2 or so hours during the day with 32amp mobile charger.
I'm in San Diego so the cold had nothing to do with it.
Has this happened to anyone else?

Strange thing is the front motor not working. It's like a solenoid got stuck... of that's even possible.

Hey there! Can you please send over a private message with your VIN and the name/location of your local Ford dealer? I would like to take a closer look at this on my end.

Mine did the same while driving to work one day. I let the car sit off for the few minutes and started it up. No issues since *crossing fingers*

This happened to me this weekend. I had the truck on the portable charger for several hours. Headed out and the power was limited to 56%. Went to dinner for 90min or so, came out and full power was back. Yesterday, no issues and back to 100% available power. Weird.

Just had a similar experience. Power reduced to 91% with 28% range left. Assumed it was accounting for low range, but hadn’t experienced power loss before. Normal or no?

I have been driving my truck to a lower state of charge lately. Every time I drop below 30% it de rates to about 95%.


Seems normal to me.

Mine is doing the same, only it’s stuck at 56% even if I turn it off and back on. Picked up on 12/23. I’m thinking it needs a service visit, because the blue cruise isn’t working and says it’s expired before the blend date (under settings->general->about) and the software says no updates are needed.

Yeah. Sounds like you do. Keep is updated. I feel this is gonna be a reoccurring topic.
