I downloaded the new iOS 15 Beta and been using the Ford pass for a week now since I just got my car, no crashes but its flawed. works about 65% of the time I had to use the keypad a few times already and stood hitting the open button multiple times before it finally opened. PAAK is for sure the biggest weakness of this car if they can fix this the car is amazing.

Hi all.
mine crashed yesterday afternoon while at work. It freezes on Ford Logo and then goes back to Home Screen. Luckily I had the fob with me.
I had PAAK setup, but don’t trust it.

I had the crashing issue yesterday. Did a hard restart on my phone and it was fine after that.

PAAK worked fine at 6:45AM this morning then randomly I couldn't open the car door around 7:30, and had to use my backup code. Now the app sits at the Ford logo then crashes every time.

Mine is working fine ... I'm on iOS 14.7.1 on an iPhone 11 Pro.

When you power-off normally it actually just puts all the apps to sleep and saves their state to non-volatile storage. When you power it on it just resumes them. It does really reset much.

But you can do a 'force restart' which does kill the processes and all their memory, cache, etc. so the next time you launch them they get a fresh start.

See: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/force-restart-iphone-iph8903c3ee6/ios

Good to know on the force restart, will try that if it happens again. I deleted the app and reinstalled per the Ford Guide rep's instructions. The app loads now, but I have to setup PAAK again.

Started crashing for me this morning. Not sure why it chose now, I haven't been doing anything out of the ordinary. Tried turning off WIFI, but no love. IOS 14.6.

It started crashing this evening on iOS 14.7.1. Hard start and turning off Wi-Fi didn’t help.

Hard start was just as effective for me as it was for you. Why do I feel like a beta tester every time I get in my car?

I started having FP issues after 1.6 was delivered to the car. Until then it had run fine, albeit occasionally a quirky little thing, and always a battery hog. Today it wouldn’t launch, always a crash. Fierce quitting, restarting, and a force quit then a restart didn’t work at all.

Today it wouldn’t unlock the car. Then the door code wouldn’t work. I had to use the factory code to get in. Then the start code wouldn’t work either.

I ended up getting the fob from its faraday bag and using that. Had to delete FP, restart the phone, reinstall, delete all PAAKs from the car as it wouldn’t install a PAAK to the same phone regardless of what you named it. Then start over with PAAK for both of us, create new entry codes and a new start code.

Could have done without that.

Is that what I have to look forward to? I guess my afternoon tomorrow just planned itself.

Probably not, and it’s pretty much the first glitch I’ve had in the car.

A few anecdotal reports are not necessarily indicative of the quality of the OTA. Plus correlation does not equal causation. I offer this table as proof of the latter:

I had to do it three times so far, the whole process takes 20 minutes... it started with FP 3.26.0 and now with the 3.27.0 FP also crashes and restart itself twice a day... :(

Ford should hire better programmers in my opinion... :rolleyes:
