I'm curious if it is consistently repeatable. If you can show the technician that it is repeatable, he can take that to the Ford engineers. ie. 12v reset, its fine, climate start, problem shows up.

Intermittent problems suck - especially if you can't recreate them. I would guess the dealer has checked the hood and latch alignment, but that would be my next step. This is what I would do: Lubricate the latch as per @RLXXI 's post. Verify the hood set posts are not too high - maybe turn...

That sucks. It is suspect since it has happened with two different latch mechanisms. I know the frunk control module shuts down after 30 minutes or so. If it was left in the 1/2 latched state for that long, it may cause goofy things like this. Maybe try one more thing. If you have a...

Sometimes, if I have an overly rushed helper push the button and then try to lift the hood, it will not release the safety latch and gets stuck. Gently closing it and pressing the button again works for me when this happens. @hturnerfamily called out the possibility of upward pressure. That...

Your 2023 Lariat should have it enabled. I also have an early 2023 Lariat (11/2022) and it has been enabled from the start. I'd take it back to the dealer and make sure all of the modules are updated to current levels.

How are you measuring the 12V SOC in the morning? The 12v should be at 100% at the end of your HVB charging cycle, so if your charge cycle ends at say 2 am and it is dropping to 25-30% by say 8 am, it probably means a replacement is in order. As @TaxmanHog said, only a proper capacity test can...

It's pretty hard to compare tires without real data. Very few organizations actually test and document things like rolling resistance because of the work involved in it. I can see it being factored in to ratings sometime in the future. In the meantime, I'll rely on the good folks of the...

I think this is truck-dependent. I have to put way more pressure on the wheel than I should have to for it to recognize the hand on the wheel to the point I nearly have to nudge the truck off its straight course. My wife's MME is fingertip, and simply resting a finger on the wheel does the...

The regeneration motors are the same as the traction motors. When decelerating or going down hills, the same motors use the kinetic energy of the truck to pump energy back into the batteries.

I wouldn't take it to the dealer unless the problem recurs. Sometimes the brains just need a reset for things to work properly after an update.

This doesn't really work. The truck only charges the 12v when the HVB is actively charging. Just being plugged in when the HVB is already at target SOC doesn't help the 12v. It seems a bit of a flaw in Ford's 12v charging plan, but that is the way it works unless it has been changed very...

Have you done a full phone restart after the iOS upgrade? I find it is needed to clean up some items like this.

Any change in your driving style? ie. shorter drives, quick trips to the corner store, driveway shuffles etc? If not, and most of your drives are 20-30 minutes or longer, it is a pretty strong indicator of a weak 12v battery.

Also make sure your sensors are clean on the bumper.

I've owned F150s for decades, and the Lightning shows the same trend as all of my others. Most of them I pushed well into 200,000mi with no serious problems and intend to do this with the Lightning. One or two initial glitches followed by years of reliable service (although there are always...

I feel for you. Hopefully, they'll get it fixed up soon, and that will be the last of it. I'm nearly 3 years in, and I lost a week with an onboard charger failure, but otherwise it has been flawless. Hopefully, this is your event and it's out of the way.

You can remove the current sensor from the battery terminal with the wires attached to the sensor and leave it disconnected for a few minutes. That will reset your 12v. If you have done this and still don't have your drive modes, it may be that one of the other modules did not update properly...

Hopefully, they are investigating and find no physical problems. I wonder if the one-pedal drive error triggered an investigation since that changes the way the truck brakes. In any case, keep us in the loop.

Try restarting your phone. Sometimes the iOS updates don't fully complete until you do a final restart. I've found this particularly true with PAAK, probably because of the security nature of the digital keys. My app is on all the time. The phone needs to be within a few feet of the sensor...

We can agree to disagree. iPhones are not the same as a truck, nor should they be compared. Apple has been upgrading iPhones for 18 years. iPhone is a consumer device. If it fails, it doesn't kill people (usually). Apple can fix a glitch in a day. iPhone is not driving a 7000lb truck down...
