Powertrain malfunction / reduced power, 2022 GT PE

[JMZ]

Hello, all ...

Yesterday, 3 errors displayed in my FordPass app, all pretty much at the same time:

1. Powertrain malfunction / reduced power
2. Pre-collision assist not available (also showed in the car)
3. Restraints indicatror lamp warning

I had my laptop in the passenger front seat, so maybe that triggered #3? There was no obstruction on the grill (that I could see, anyway) wrt #2, but I wiped hte camera with a cloth anyway. #1 concerns me, though, as the 3 year / 36K mile warranty expires next month. All warnings have since disappeared.

The battery is 8 / 100K and the powertrain is 5 / 60K apparently. Has anyone here experience with warning #1? If so, was this the harbinger of an actual powertrain problem and, if so, was it covered under the 5 / 60K powertrain warranty?

Regards,

John

P.S. I remember when I had a similar message in my old Model 3. Before I had an opportunity to call them (this was on a road trip), they called _me_ to schedule a service appointment the day after I saw the message, which was both appreciated from a safety perspective and somewhat concerning from a privacy one.

#2 is often a sign that your 12v battery needs replaced. That will often throw a multitude of error codes, so they may all be related.

When this happened about a month ago, it cleared by itself a day later. Still, I asked Ford service about it, and their response was basically to tell them if it happens again.

The other day, it did. I have a service appointment setup. The errors have since cleared on their own again, so i'm not sure what Ford will tell me tomorrow (when my service appointment is).

BTW, Ford service has been quite good I think. There was a hard knock in the right front suspension, and they fixed it under warranty.
