I want to keep this on 24/7 due the number of trucks I have to drive by. But it keeps on turning off after 10-15 minutes. How can I keep it on? I have never owned a vehicle that has had this issue before.

I find it’s an infuriating design choice—that the driver is too stupid to know what they want.

FWIW, if you have AC on, the recirculate mode seems to “stick.”

The only way to make it stay on is if you turn off E-Heat, however, e-heat auto enables itself when the car needs it to warm up the cabin or whatever.

I have never even used this option yet. E-heat does not play a factor in my scenario.

E-heat is always on unless you turn it off. And usually is back on at the next key cycle. Unless I'm missing something here that's how it's been working for me for the past year. This includes the middle of summer. Even if it isn't actually producing any heat the button is enabled by default when the car starts.

What I am hearing is Ford wants you to die from carbon monoxide poisoning. Thanks @Ford Motor Company
Kind of seems that way, huh? Stupidest “feature” on the MME imo. You can override it by using Max AC but anytime you use the auto temp function it decides whether to recirculate or allow fresh air in. Infuriating.

The HVAC update will help with the recirc behavior. It will still shut off if it gets too humid in the cabin, but seems to work longer.

@Ford Motor Company How about you let me override and control my own vehicles environment? I am not going to have the same likings as every Tom, Dick or Hairy out there.

You know their only answer will be to collect your VIN and dealer info, right?
