One Pedal Drive problem caused by recent updates

[Mike G]

There are only going to be a handful of vehicles with this issue (<50) because they stopped it relatively quickly and it wasn’t a widespread release.

?

I'm pretty sure it's more than that. Look at the number of posts about it. And not every owner is a forum member here. So there are lots of others we don't know about. And from when I first updated and noticed the drive mode uncommanded switch thing, (I don't use 1PD) it was at least a week and half later that they left those updates as available to apply in FDRS. In fact the GVMS Nuke Option to prevent further powertrain updates by dealer techs was only deployed yesterday.

The updates were out there for 15 or so days. Between the hobbyist applying updates in FDRS and all the people trying to get CSP or recalls applied, I think it will be more than 50 cars. I think the count will be under a thousand but way more than 50.

My car went in for glass and HVBJB on April 1. Glass was done by the end of the 2nd day, I think. They hadn't preordered the hvbjb parts and those didn't arrive until the 16th, which is when they did all the updates.

So it sounds like I'm in the window for the "latest and not-so-greatest?"

They then sat on my car not doing what they needed to about the collision damage that occurred when the valet was bringing the car in on the 1st until the 24th at which point I demanded the (damaged) vehicle back. I've only had it since the 25th and have not had the 1pd issue yet. But some posters say it was showing up for them right around day 10, so I guess I have time? ?

Yes, but only a small percentage of people that got the updates experience the glitch. Not all of them. The ~50 number is my estimate of how many cars are getting faults. The poll is at 10 affected currently.

Yes, that is the most interesting poll result - 10 of the 40 who have applied listed updates have noticed faults. That's 25% in total. Perhaps the percentage is higher for some of the updates, and lower for others, averaging out to 25% in total. And perhaps some of the 30 who have not yet noticed faults will soon get them. Or maybe not.

I am wondering what difference in hardware or software causes the 25% with faults to be different from the 75% without faults.

Welp. I guess I'll just reschedule my HVBJB recall work for later on. Good to know. Thanks.

It is a real mystery, and not only with this issue but with almost all complaints that I see in this forum. Something sometimes doesn't work in a small group of cars, but works perfectly for others. And for this one, how shutting the vehicle off and starting it again, that removes the message, is different from starting it the first time that caused the error message? And again, it doesn't happen every time, but sometimes.

I'd like to know how widespread the problem is.

My car received 23B50 lately, but I haven't noticed anything wrong in 1PD functionality so far.

Just wait, I think you won't be disappointed. Ford Mobile service came by our house on April 22, 2024 for the SW update and I got my first disconnect and warning this afternoon 4-28-2024. One pedal is not working at all now...

Had 2 1PD faults on my 2022 GTPE after having the HV contactor recall done 2 weeks ago. Both happened after driving a few miles. Restarting the car cleared them. Oops, had another today. Called the dealer and they said it needs to be reported directly to Ford.

I haven't voted in the poll because I don't use 1PD........if one of the questions had been "Does your car change drive mode unexpectedly?"...which is also part of the problem...I would have said Yes.

I think that the problem of changing the mode is much older than the updates and it's not related, so I didn't include this option in the poll.

The previous issues with the drive mode changing.....were in fact due to the same problem with powertrain updates.

Then they fixed it........and now they've broken it again.

So I recommend you go out to your car...turn 1PD off and then put your car in Unbridle and see how long it takes over the next few days for it to drop out of Unbridle and back to Engage or Whisper.

It's related. Definitely.

Oh they know...believe me.

Maybe you are right, but I didn't see anybody else complaining about "Mode is not available" in relation to the updates, definitely @Mach-Lee didn't mention it in his post.

And I like driving in 1PD so don't want to turn it off for this experiment.

I have had it twice, but times leaving by driveway, both time a quick power cycle fixed it!
