  1. Maps are out of date - Blue Cruise availability may be limited

    I received this message the other day. Do the BlueCruise maps get updated automatically or do I have to manually update them myself? I believe our 2021 model came with lifetime BlueCruise, before they limited it to just 3 years I believe.
  2. Extended Warranty (Ford ESP), worth it?

    We own a 2018 Expedition Platinum, and having purchased Ford ESP after the factory warranty runs out has somewhat paid for itself. Right now, the vehicle is in the shop at 86,000 miles with a big transmission issue. When I look back at the repairs done post factory warranty, the cost of the...
  3. Bridgestone Blizzak on Mach-E

    I'm running Bridgestone Blizzaks on our Expedition, and as far as winter traction in snow, they absolutely rock. I currently have Sottozero 3s on our Mach-E Premium AWD Extended Range, but these are abysmal. Sottozero 3s have zero improvement in traction, cornering, or braking in snow. Just...
  4. Frozen windshield washer nozzles - which fluid to use?

    Just curious to see what windshield fluids people here are using, especially those that live in very cold climates. Over the past two days in Colorado it's been -4F, and the windshield fluid would not work on our Mach-E. I've checked the fluid (Rain-X, good to -28F), so I was quite a bit...
  5. Power up 6.2.1 - car status not updating

    Is anyone else having issues getting updates info in the FordPass app after this update? For the past 24hrs the app is “unable to locate” my vehicle even though it’s on my garage, where it’s never had a problem locating it before this update. Battery status also hasn’t updated in over 24hrs...
  6. Rear Occupant Seat Alert

    Is there any way to turn this feature completely off? I have the Rear Occupant Seal Reminder turned OFF in the options. However, upon starting the vehicle every time, a reminder tells me that it's OFF, and asking me whether I wish to turn it ON. This is beyond annoying, and is a feature...
  7. Filling-up Mach-E with gasoline

    So the other day, just for sh*ts and giggles, I wanted to see if MME would charge on gas. I have a Ryobi gasoline generator in my garage which I seldom use. It has a 220V 30A outlet. Now unfortunately, the Ford mobile charger that comes with the MME will only work on a 50A circuit or higher...
  8. Possible to disable wireless CarPlay?

    As of last week, we started having real issues with Apple CarPlay on our Mach-E, which has worked flawlessly over the past year. This morning I've had to reboot Sync in our Mach-E three times, and reboot her phone twice, then remove and re-pair them before CarPlay finally worked. It's gotten...
  9. FordPass app - Bluetooth Connected = doesn't refresh vehicle details

    Does anyone else find this odd? My FordPass app on my iPhone 14 pro is "Bluetooth Connected". I can remotely start the car, open the windows, and do a variety of things instantly - because my phone (and thus FordPass app) is directly connected to the vehicle. Yet strangely enough, things like...
  10. FordPass: "Preparing for a drive" message?

    My FordPass is telling me my Mach-E is "preparing for a drive". Strange, as I have no departure times setup. Is this what the car does to prevent its battery from freezing up? Just curious if anyone else has come across this message without having any departure times setup.
  11. Mach-E thinks it's parked at a neighbor's house, charges to 100%

    I would say, 1 out of 10 times, when I plug-in our Mach-E to charge, it charges to 100% for some reason. Recently, I started digging into this further, and have determined that the vehicle thinks it's parked at an adjacent street, or the neighbor's house. I can only deduce this is due to GPS...
  12. Recall 22S41 - Contactor A Weld Issue. Have to bring into dealership?

    Just got this in the mail today. I was under the impression Ford fixed this weld issue with a over-the-air software update? They're now asking me to bring it in. For those of you who have done this recall at a dealer, do you know if it's a relatively simple procedure? Or are they going to...
  13. Active Grille Shutters - Frozen Shut

    This morning, Mach-E covered in heavy frost. Front of the car iced over from the night before (rain that froze later in the night). Active Grille Shutters tried to open when I started the vehicle this morning, but they didn't budge. Just wondering how well designed (and tested) this new...
  14. Driver profiles not loading after updating to 3.5.4.2

    After this latest auto update, pressing memory recall 1 or 2 on the driver side door no longer loads the assigned driver profile. Clicking on the center button at the top of the Sync 4 screen (circle with 6 dots), shows driver profiles availabledoesn’t load them. The profiles are there (myself...
  15. EV Charger Prewire in new construction home

    Wife and I have been looking to move to the Denver area for some time now. She's got family there, and we love the outdoors, the dry air, etc. Last summer we came across a nice master plan community with great trails, close to the rockies, etc. With 4 kids under one roof, the wife (and her...
  16. Best 240V 24A mobile charger solution?

    I'm trying to find the best solution for a mobile charger. The Ford Mobile charger that comes with the car can be plugged into a standard 120V outlet, or 240/50A. However, there is no option to use it with 240/30A receptacles (NEMA 10-30). As such, I've started looking on Amazon. There seem...
  17. FordPass - Charge to 100%

    I have a long roadtrip coming up this evening. I plugged the car in 20 minutes ago in the garage. Tried using the app to charge it to 100%. No such option. The app still says "Updated 21 minutes ago". Pulling down to refresh doesn't seem to refresh anything - even though it's connected via...
  18. How to disable ACC/speed limit change?

    Is there a way to disable ACC from automatically changing its set speed when driving through areas where posted speed limits change? i.e. I have the ACC set to 55mph. I'm driving along, and the posted speed limited changes to 70mph. The car automatically changes my ACC speed to 80mph. It does...
  19. Really impressed by the infrared windshield

    Aside from not being able to use my radar detector, the infra-red windshield is a night and day difference between every other car I've owned. The heat buildup when the vehicle is parked in direct sun is very noticeable. Especially when you touch that front dash underneath the windshield. In...
  20. Goodbye winter-induced range penalty!

    Eversince taking delivery of our AWD, Premium, Ext Battery Mach-E last December, the range figures have hardly climbed above 200 miles on full charge, despite the fact that this model and trim had an EPA advertised 280-mile range. Well, today on a drive from VT to NYC, the length of the trip...
