  1. My latest mod - a left foot accelerator

    I ruptured my achilles tendon a week ago (don't let them fool you about Pickleball being "safer" than tennis). To make matters worse, it's my right leg, and I was facing having to rely on friends and shelling out a lot for Door Dash & Instacart for many months to come while I have to wear a cam...
  2. I don't use Nav - it keeps telling me "The expected delay due to traffic..."

    I don't use the built-in navigation, and it doesn't currently show any routed or planned drives. Why do I keep hearing "The expected delay due to traffic is [xx] minutes"? How do I get her to STFU?
  3. Galpin Ford Service Fail 🤦‍♂️

    I bought my MME from Galpin. It’s a 45 min. drive from home. Vista Ford is only 30 min., but since Galpin is the largest Ford dealer in the world, I thought it would be worthwhile going with them. But I generally take the car to Vista for servicing. I had a slew of features disabled from an...
  4. Any known fix for the "walk away lock" & "puddle light" failures?

    My Job2 '21 MME has been in service for 12 days now with a slew of issues, mostly PAAK related, that all broke with an OTA. The last two that are unresolved are the "walk away lock" & "puddle light" features not working. The service tech opened a hotline contact with Ford engineering, who said...
  5. Does reprogramming the BCM really require two fobs?

    My '21 MME has been in service for a week and a half for a variety of mostly PAAK related issues. All have been repaired but the last two, Walk Away Lock & Puddle Lamps. The service rep just told me it's 12V battery and BCM related. He said that in order to reprogram the BCM, they require...
  6. Ford says Walk Away Lock & Puddle Lamp failure is a "known issue"?

    My '21 Job 2 MME has been at Galpin Ford service for a week now with a slew of issues that came after an OTA update a couple of months ago, including: • Reverse Brake Assist doesn't work • PAAK - multiple button presses to open door • PAAK - multiple button presses to open/close liftgate • B...
  7. A racing strip and a giant wing makes a car go faster, amirite?

    Spotted yesterday in L.A.
  8. Random PHONE AS A KEY AND BACKUP START PASSCODE REMOVED email

    I received the following email from FordPass at 5am yesterday when the car was parked. By the time I went out 6 hours later to use the car, PAAK worked fine, and my backup start passcode still works. The FP app does not have a corresponding message. I called FP, and they said they'd had no...

  10. Thanks Ford! My NACS adapter apparently comes with complimentary 250kWh of fast charging + 22,000 points

    My 2021 MME came with the 250kWh of complimentary fast charging via the BlueOval network when I first got the car, which I used up. When I went to reserve the NACS adapter yesterday, it said I had to first register with the BlueOval network. I was surprised, as I was already registered. I got...
  11. Fisker Oceans Are Falling Apart In Their Owners' Hands

    Yes, the MME may not be 100% perfect, but reading this (or anything about a VinFast) may just make you appreciate it a bit more. https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/09/fisker-ocean-braking-power-loss-problems-investigation/?guccounter=1
  12. AWD TEMPORARILY DISABLED warning - HVBJB related?

    I got this warning after driving up a mountain pass I regularly travel at a good clip for about 5 minutes. The peak elevation is about 1000 feet. I had the HVBJB recall performed last week at Galpin Ford. My immediate assumption was that it was a thermal issue, so I slowed down and a few...
  13. Does Windex Original (with ammonia) harm the window tint?

    The new issue of Consumer Reports has an article about the best glass cleaners, and says the following about the original formula of Windex: "Because it has ammonia in its formula, it should not be used on tinted windows or other surfaces that can be damaged by ammonia". I've never heard this...
  14. Key Battery Low Replace Soon - WTF?

    Why (how) am I getting that message repeatedly on the driver's display if I only use PAAK and the fob is nowhere near the car?
  15. Vista Ford bungles PAAK repair - a 7 week ordeal

    Like many others reported here, my phone-as-a-key stopped functioning several months ago after an OTA update. Although I bought my MME from Galpin Ford, the largest Ford dealer in the world, 7 weeks ago I decided to take the car into Vista Ford in Woodland Hills, CA because it's closer. That...
  16. How crazy would it be to mount a vinyl license plate here?

    After a year and a half, I finally got a fixit ticket for not having a front plate. I told myself I'd wait until that happened to actually put one up. The most unobtrusive placement imho is in the black grill portion. From what I've read, vinyl wraps don't interfere with any sensors. I'm...
  17. Dealer service can't seem to get any response from Ford

    I brought my '21 Job 2 Premium AWD to Vista Ford in Woodland Hills (Los Angeles) two days ago for the following: • FordPass doesn't show correct SOC • FordPass doesn't correctly show when car is being charged • PAAK unreliable after OTA update; after a reset, it can't be set up again • Walk...
  18. FordPass Power-Up "Update Details" button does nothing

    The Power-Up notifications in the FordPass app don't say what version has been installed; they only say: "Want to know what changes we made? Just click below." For the past couple of updates, clicking on "Update Details" does nothing. 🤬
