I have come to expect this from companies run by financial people versus technical people. Consider Boeing's recent history. They went from "If it's not Boeing, I'm not going." to "If it's Boeing, I'm not going." :sadface:
Think about this ... a 7000 lb. truck accelerating from 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds with all the weight and torque transmitted through 4 patches about the size of both hands. I sure hope they make "EV" tires.

Do you want to assist Scott, or would you prefer he file a NHTSA safety complaint?
Scott,
Here is the link in case you don't get immediate assistance from Ford.

Dear @Ford Motor Company,
I request the addition of a 12 volt disconnect or reset feature which can be activated from inside the cabin.
It will save us all a lot of wasted time and frustration with Ford and our vehicles. It will also save Ford money versus Ford finding and solving all the...
Reminds me of waaay back in high school.
Freshmen were Cool-0.
Sophomores were Cool-1.
Juniors were Cool-2.
Seniors were Cool-3.
The librarian said so. 😂
Attached are screen copies of 12 volt data from the Ohmmu app and Car Scanner at the same time in my Lightning. Both show 100% 12 volt SOC. Ohmmu shows 14.39 volts, and Car Scanner shows 14.2 volts at the battery and 14.4 volts at the OBD port. Interestingly, both show 0 amps 12 volt battery...
I bought and installed in my Lightning an Ohmmu Li-H3-BH (LFP) 12 Volt Battery two weeks ago, based upon positive user comments on this forum. I just returned from a 25 mile errand trip. Ohmmu 12 volt SOC, easily accessible in the Ohmmu app, is at 100%.
Among several reasons for rewarding...
Talk, promises, and YouTube videos are easy and cheap.
Real world products and great customer support are hard to do and often expensive.
I will believe it when I see it.
This may be a place to apply AI ... Actual Intelligence. Keep the cameras in standby mode until accelerometers detect movement of the vehicle, and then activate the cameras.
So, @Ford Motor Company, you have had 3 years to-date to get Over-The-Air (OTA) updates working properly. I guess the Universal EV Platform launch gives you 2 more years?
Ford Announcement: "A better assembly line: More than a century after the invention of the moving assembly line, Ford combines its industrial know-how with a start-up mentality to create the new Ford Universal EV Production System, radically simplifying vehicle assembly for safety, quality and...
I can't help with the resolution of your problem, but maybe I can assist with avoidance for others. A few months ago I took my Lightning to the dealership for the second replacement of the rear light bar. When I pointed out that the Front Parking Sensor CSP was open, the Service Advisor...
Thank you for the detailed technical information! It would be nice to know if this cathode shift issue is also related to the defective modules requiring replacement in "4%" of mostly 2022 Lightnings.
My GTO has no power accessories, and I rarely drive it at night. Basically, all the battery does is start the engine. It has a Powermaster high torque mini-starter with 4:1 gear reduction. I disconnect the battery terminals when I am not driving it. I bought the battery directly from Optima in...
