Audio only coming through front center speaker

[will]

Ok, so this is pure speculation, but did the audio out of the front happen after an over the air update?

I know I got an update the night before we noticed the issue with the audio, I’m wondering if the update could have caused it in some way.

as a new person here how can I see the version I am running? And how will I know when I get an update?
Thanks

I don’t have my car right now but it’s within the settings area on the main screen in the car, system updates tab.

This is a pretty decent post about OTA’s etc: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/a-guide-to-understanding-ota-updates.13111/

Got my car back today, finally!! Radio sounds back to what it was before all this and the doors are working, no idea if the high voltage box was actually replaced, the Ford App says no but the invoice says yes... maybe some delay between those things.

The whole thing was about a month.

The service manager said that the 2nd audio control module they ordered actually did the trick to get the audio working from all speakers again. He said it was a lot of work to get the module out, unfortunately none of the paper work I have shows the price of labor or anything...

I asked him to ball park what the labor parts etc was and he guessed at $7,000 for the entire ordeal, I assume the doors not opening / closing correctly, the radio module out and the high voltage recall. I have no idea if that is reasonable or not.

Now I'm trying to get in touch with my customer service person because I spoke with the dealership about the rental and they said that "They: The Dealership", is who pays for and offered me the loaner vehicle... not Ford Corporate. So I am pretty upset that my customer satisfaction from the BEV Department tried to pass it off as if Ford Corporate was paying for that.

I basically paid a car payment for the privilege of paying for extra gas in 2 cars for a whole month. That is a bit off in my opinion...

I’m glad this subject came up because I wanted to ask the speaker on the dash in the front or the front overall can be very loud at even eight on the volume knob. So I wanted to hear what the back speakers sounded like. Is it just the system, because you can barely hear the back speakers at eight and you go all the way back to the trunk you can hear the subwoofer back there is that normal? I had this setting when I was testing the back speakers. I also experimented, switching between stereo and surround stereo actually sounded louder.

my car was parked at the airport for 3 days. As I was on the plane about to takeoff to return home I got two warnings in fordpass that my battery was dying and needed to take the car for service.

I landed. Walked to the parking garage, and opened the car door.
When I turned the car on, everything seemed ok.
Then I tried to close the drivers side door.

doink. (Metal on metal sound)
Tried again.
Doink

The door wouldn’t close.

I remembered reading this post.

my audio heavily favors the center channel.

my battery died once and had to be replaced.

now I’ve got the door actuator issue.

I called ford and they told me to turn off the car and then slowly push the door (with some force).

it worked.

but this is not ok. It’s a 2023 MME with 200 miles. And I’ve had other issues as well… front passenger window wouldn’t auto-up/auto-down.
