The frunk button on my old Mach-E could open and close the frunk at any time without needing to unlock it. I guess they had a sensor in the front similar to the doors that recognized that you had your FOB in your pocket and the Lightning doesn't have a sensor there. Thankfully, they did put...
I've had similar warnings. The first time involved waiting about a month for the dealer to get the tools needed to swap a power module.
It happened a couple of times a year later, but the warnings I got didn't say that I couldn't re-start, so I stopped and started and didn't see the messages...
Oddly enough, I'm not as concerned with getting the recall, but I've been hoping that since it has something to do with the infotainment system that there's at least a slim chance it may also fix the problem with not seeing the artist and song on Sirius XM.
I found a quirky workaround. If I...
No updates in a year for my 2022 XLT SR.
According to the App, my last update was to "enhance the way your vehicle receives and transmits software resulting in a more dependable Software Update experience".
Then it says ECG-24.2.4.10.1.
That was January 2025, and nothing since.
The service...
This is a complex subject.
The Lightning may be the best selling EV truck, but the market is small, and it's been declining for quite some time.
One problem is that most of the early adopters who are not concerned with range or towing issues have already purchased their Lightning and since a...
I'm done with gas, and I love my lockable storage in the frunk, so it will be hard to give it up.
I've never been worried about range, so I have no need to get and EV with a gas generator, especially since it adds more things that may break some day.
That said, I'm open minded about seeing how...
When using CarPlay, the App is definitely a great option, the only downside is that changing stations is not as quick and easy as using things like the steering wheel controls.
When using CarPlay, I found another cool workaround.
If you launch CarPlay and you don't maximize it, there's a media...
I've had the same problem for over a year now and so far nothing has helped.
I also posted something about this in the F150Gen14 forum because there are posts from other people with the same problem. For the record, this is for the 12" screen.
I started a chat with Microsoft's CoPilot and it...
My Lightning is my second EV, and in my case I went with the Standard Range version simply because it became apparent with my first EV that range was not a priority for me, and I feel that in a few years when more fast charging stations are available, it will be less important for everyone.
My...
Thanks for posting this.
When I was invited to the factory on launch day, Darren Palmer mentioned something that I found pretty interesting.
If you have a home charger, it's not a bad idea to configure a morning departure time even if you don't know for sure what time you plan to leave...
I just got an email saying my official Ford CCS Charger to Tesla EV Charging Network Adapter finally shipped.
I ordered mine within hours of the announcement, and was originally scheduled for the summer, but as many of you know, they had significant delays.
There's a FedEx tracking number that...
I received the email telling me my CyberTruck is ready to be delivered, from the order I placed long before Ford announced the Lightning.
That order was based on it being the first EV pickup truck, and that it would start at $40K, with the 2 motor option costing about $50-$60K.
The email they...
My last update was in May.
What I really need is an update that fixes the SiriusXM issue where the artist and title are not shown. I've had that problem for nearly a year.
This type of post has been popping up every now and then since day one, and it drives me crazy that this is "Working as intended".
I assume the root is that they don't want people using the screen as a replacement for the rear view mirror for some sort of safety reasons. Meanwhile, if you...
For what it's worth, I've owned two Gator covers and I absolutely love them. The newest version is even better than the older generation, with a lower profile than the old one, and you can unlock it from one side.
I've searched all over there and on the ICE forums and there doesn't seem to be any specific DIY updates mentioned,.
However I remember finding an ICE thread months ago that mentioned something about asking somebody over there for a USB image to push an update, but I didn't try it at the time...
Song titles and artist names are still now showing up after all these months. I was hoping there would be an OTA update to fix this.
Does anyone know specific steps I can take to update my Sync system to fix this?
I just stumbled on the opposite experience. Alexa started answering me again after it was gone for quite a long time.
I mainly stream music and Audiobooks through CarPlay, so I couldn't understand why I would need to subscribe to Ford's Connected Services subscription in the first place, so I...
