Return to Sport not returning

[AMG]

I heard from a guy I work with, wifes hairdresser 2nd cousin twice removed we'd get an ota in April or May.

Name that movie (slightly modified).

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who said it'll be here in 2 weeks.

I've had this theory shot down before on this site but here goes... Owner of a late build 2025 Plantium with the latest software. 98% of the time, Sport Mode remains active when the truck is started but will switch to Normal Mode the moment Android Auto loads. The two are related. Prove me wrong.

Just noticed your handle/name. I'm keeping my eye on you.

Truck wouldn't switch to sport mode today for me. Dash stayed blue when started. Went into the settings and I was greeted with this....I guess I am only allowed to use normal mode now.

I've seen it a couple times on the forum, you can try searching it, maybe an APIM or 12v reset.

I'm still digging up further info, but from what I'm seeing it is a bug and should be fixed in an upcoming OTA.

I want my truck to stay in sport mode unprompted. my Tesla can do this. why can't ford?

In a previous post I stated the Sport mode is related to Android Auto connecting as they both appear to switch at the same time. I was asked to turn off my phone to see if that is the problem. With the phone off, Sport mode return to Normal mode so this is not related.

iOS user here, and it still reverts back. I have to wait 30 seconds or more after powering on and manually select Sport Mode. Otherwise it reverts to normal.

Kind of boggles me that it's taking this long for them to push a hotfix out. Not only an inconvenience but a safety hazard.

Also boggles me that this selection option isn't part of the steering wheel options on the dashboard display, or a physical knob near the gear selector, and is instead on the main display forcing drivers to take their eyes off the road, hand off the wheel, to navigate a touchscreen to select their drive mode.

Mine does the same with CarPlay

This popped up this morning. While it’s a good update, it still didn’t address the Sport Mode issue.

Take this w a grain of salt

@Ford Motor Company Brian, any update here? I think it's safe to say that it has been several weeks.
