Return to Sport mode question pops up as usual when booting up my 24 Flash and I select YES. When I go to look it's still in Normal mode. I then switch it to Sport and I'm good until the next boot cycle.

Worked fine until the last update of 25.2.8.5.

Anyone else notice this recently that uses Sport mode?
I had the same problem. I did a reboot and it appears to be switching again. Another thing I noticed after the recent UPDATES, traction control wasn't working. It was kind of fun being able to spin all 4 tires.

Interesting. A sync reboot or a LV batt disconnect?

I'm going to try sync first because it's fast and easy. The battery disconnect reset method if sync doesn't help.

This would explain why they haven't fixed it yet 😂
I knew it was working previously, was starting to think I was crazy.

Sync reboot using the volumedown/next buttons. I was going to attempt to do it while I was driving but thought that might not be a good idea. I was able to do it with my Tesla.

So I did sync reset after work, switched to sport mode, then shut it off, back on, hit return to sport, and it worked...at least the first time. I'll check it again tomorrow to see if it's still good.

Bad news, for me at least, not working today. I got one successful cycle out of it.

I just noticed today, I got the popup to return to sport, you can see the gauges change to white, then approximately after the timer would've elapsed, it switched back to normal. Brian @Ford Motor Company you may want to give that information to the programming team.
Team is looking into it!

I have also noticed this. It will ask me to return and select yes. It'll stay in sport for about 10 seconds, at least the gauges seem to indicate and then it the gauges change to normal. Looking forward to an update to fix this.

I had an interesting interaction this morning...On startup it asked if I wanted to remain in sport, I nearly immediately selected yes, the prompt disappears, less than a second later, it asks again, select yes again, and it stayed in sport.

Y'all, Ford absolutely knows about this. I reported it right when the update came out via Early Access Program. Then Ford responded to me via email and they even state they are working on the fix.
