Iāve been through the same frustration with SW updates. There is no reason to require the EV certified tech to update software. The EVs use the same Ford FDRS tool to update SW as the ICE and hybrids so any tech could do it. My truck sat for a week waiting for the EV tech because my service...
Just curious. How do you think the people that buy the SW/HW you work on would feel if you sent them a new release and later discovered a bug but didnāt inform them? Thatās what Ford has done with both 6.3 and 6.4 and there are people out there wondering why some features arenāt working. They...
The one thing Ford could learn from this is to communicate with their customers. Rivian immediately issued a statement taking responsibility and explaining what happened. The last two Ford updates have issues but you would only know that by reading between the lines on the forums. I just want to...
I have been waiting on parts for a while and I talked to my SA to check on them last week. He went to the parts manager and apparently one part I needed that was back ordered was now showing as obsolete. The parts manager got in touch with Ford and the latest update is that they now have the...
That 4% is the difference between the pack capacity and what Ford makes available. The SR pack is actually 106 kWh but only 98 are available. The numbers for the ER are similar but I donāt remember the details.
Iāve been waiting a month for the parts to come in for the steering wheel. I talked to my service advisor today and according to his parts manager the module that is needed is obsolete and a new part number is replacing it. Has anyone else heard this? They are waiting for an update from Ford and...
So 6.3.0 is suspended and 6.4.0 is paused. Iām currently on 6.2.0 so Iām wondering if Iāll go straight to 6.4.0 or if another 6.3 version will come out in between.
Capital Ford seems to be getting better. The first few times I tried to get something done they were clueless but when I called about the battery/BECM update they wanted me to bring it in for the SW update right away. They will also pick up and return your truck to your home.
I think Ford made a mistake by not separating this one into two actions: one for the software update and one for the module replacement. Iām guessing they are leaving it open because even after the software update there could be a module failure that requires replacement. By combining them they...

First, yes you should take delivery. This is not a recall and in 96% of cases it is just a software update.
Second, your dealer, like most Ford dealers does not know what they are talking about. The instructions clearly tell the dealer to perform the SW update on every truck that arrives at the...
Iāve gotten that message but only after an update failed and then timed out. I had my service manager pull up the OTA history and there was a ācampaign expiredā message for the last OTA.
If the truck goes into deep sleep it seems to lose the frunk position. Same thing happens if you disconnect the 12V. Thereās also the annoying way that the frunk button doesnāt work if the doors are locked and the remote start turning off if you open the frunk. @Ford Motor Company needs to do a...
In the FordPass app go to the Vehicle tab click on Charging and then select the Blue Oval tile. On that screen turn on Plug and Charge. When you go to an EA charger just plug it in and it should connect and use the credit in your account. You can also start the charge from the screen in the...
I think Ford refers to the instrument panel as a ā12 inch digital productivity screenā. If you look at the order guide all trims have that screen and then there is a second screen, either 12ā or 15ā, that is described as a touchscreen. Just a typical Ford communication failure.
