    Tax Credit Only Applicable to W-2 Tax Liability?

    I filled out my info on a tax software site. I see the 1040 that will be submitted to the IRS. The calculations show I owe $5286 in taxes from my W-2 job and $2108 from my spouses self-employment tax. Our total tax bill is $7394. The EV tax credit is removing the $5268. Why isn’t the...

    Lemon law advice and PPF’s dark side

    (I tried to keep this short and sweet but when I finished it, I thought I might come back here and say I’m sorry that it is much longer than I anticipated so if you spend your time to read this and reply, thanks in advance!) I don’t know what I should do! I’m leaning toward keeping the car with...

    Sync Navigation Prompts are broken

    No matter my settings, every prompt, whether voice or tone, now comes through and interrupts music. I know the trick to turn the volume all the way down when the Sync voice reminds me for the millionth time to “pay attention to the road and laws”. That trick no longer works. I turn the prompt...

    Auto for Climate wont turn off

    I’ve tried everything I can think of to make AUTO be off. It has been doing this for weeks. I dropped it off at the dealer with the first light on above AUTO. I got my driver seat module and HVAC module updated at the dealer. When I got the car back, AUTO was completely off. Today, it was super...

    Hands-Free Bluecruise is so inconsistent

    @Ford Motor Company this is probably the most pointless post since you’re going to ask for my VIN and dealer(DONT DO IT!) but you need to tell your developers that Blue-Cruise Hands-Free activation SUCKS! My Bluecruise worked just fine on the highway this morning. I just drove on the same...

    Latest Software Update Info Missing in FordPass

    I know some are able to see the latest PowerUp in FordPass and I’ve seen screenshots on the forum. I can’t find that thread. I have FordPass 4.22.2 and my car recently installed 3.5.4.2. My phone is on iOS 16.1.1. When I go to the FordPass Software Updates screen, I can’t figure out how to see...

    Navigation Mute Button Not Working

    This mute button hasn’t worked since day 1 for me and I keep forgetting to ask about it. My Prompts setting in Sync Nav is set to Tones. When I’m on the map screen, I pushed it so that it has a slash through it and still get nav prompt tones. I press it to remove the slash and still get prompt...

    Mach-E loses reliability recommendation

    https://www.consumerreports.org/car-reliability-owner-satisfaction/cars-lose-consumer-reports-recommendation-over-reliability-issues-a1040953852/?EXTKEY=AFLIP I'll still keep mine since the worst is almost done. I'm almost past the HVBJB FAIL nightmare. Hopefully smooth sailing after this.

    PSA: Ford Reimbursement Limits

    Ford will not reimburse you for anything once your case amount hits $3500. If you expect car payment reimbursements for the ridiculous long repair times, you MIGHT get them if your case amount stays under $3500. If you want car payments back, use the rentals sparingly.

    Just got a Stop Safely Now with Recall SW

    @DevSecOps @Gimme_my_MME I got my car back at the end of Tuesday, after 72 days in the shop, which started as a bad fluid pump and turned into a front drive unit replacement because the pump didn’t work and caused metal shavings to develop in the front drive unit. I drove about 150-200 miles...

    Update Now Button Disabled

    When I check for System Updates, I now see an Update Now button but is disabled. If I tap it anyway, I get a pop up message. Alexa hasn’t appeared but some of the games mentioned are available now. Is this update already partially installed and waiting until overnight to finish?

    GT vs GTPE Ride Quality

    I know there are a LOT of posts for GT vs GTPE but I don’t have hours and hours to read all of them. I have a MME GT and never sat in a GTPE until I saw one available at a local dealer today. Curiosity got the best of me so I stopped in to test drive it and compare it against my GT’s suspension...

    In order to get Securialert notifications, do I have to complete the Phone as a Key setup on the device I configured and enabled Securialert? Is PAAK required for Securialert to notify me?

    Ordering 2023 to replace 2021 or 2022 MME

    I've got a 21 GT. I'm contemplating getting a 23 GTPE to get away from the bumpiness of the GT with the Magnaride and also to avoid the potential of my HVBJB dying on me. I think Magnaride is the biggest selling factor to upgrade from the GT to GTPE but with the new prices compared to what I...

    Dealer Repair Time War Stories

    I’ve been waiting for my repair to be done since August 8 when I dropped the car off at the dealer. I’m on day 17 and today I JUST find out my part is on backorder with no ETA. I opened a case with Corporate on the 8th after dropping it off. When I found out about the backorder, I immediately...

    What Drive Mode does this?

    I keep seeing this orange animation in videos and pics online. I’ve experimented with my drive modes but can’t figure out if it is newer or older software that does this. Why can’t I find this animation on my Mach-E?

    Check your Mach-E for DTCs

    I’d like to recommend everyone to make a small investment and get something that will let you check your vehicle for DTCs. It could save you a lot of problems and money down the road. My coolant pump failed and threw P2797 and the car never indicated there was a problem. No MIL. No SVS. No SSN...

    Scriptable OTA Status

    I’m not near my car at the moment. It’s miles away at the moment but I saw this in Scriptable this morning. Does this mean the OTA is available now on the vehicle memory? Or does it mean it is on a server waiting for my scheduled weekly check on Wednesday and will download it then, unless I do...

    Buzz vibration in driver side B column

    When I drive over some rough surface pavement, there is a buzzing vibration or small rattle in the area where the seat belt comes out of the B column on the driver side. Anyone dealing with this or is there a known Ford TSB for this annoyance?

    Need help finding an adapter plug

    I’m short on time here. I leave for a trip tomorrow. The location where I’m staying said I could use one of their RV spots for charging. I have the ChargePoint Home Flex with the NEMA 14-50 plug and want an adapter plug to fit the RV receptacle from Amazon. Please help if you can recognize the...
