I have a '22 Limited Max with the 15.5" screen now updated to 3.5.4 software been having a couple issues recently.
1) If we don't drive it for about 24 Hours, the App says the car goes into "Deep Sleep Mode". Ford's website says this should only happen if you don't drive it for 2 weeks. So far the car seems to be starting fine, so my thinking is they did an update to shutdown the electronics in an attempt to make the battery last longer if people aren't driving it for a day. It can't possibly be a low battery but start up fine, right? I measured the battery at ~12.0V but I didn't get around to removing the terminals/loads, car was off. This is in the Los Angeles area so not really extreme weather causing anything.
2) I was hoping the software update fixed the running board timer issues, but no luck. Anyone able to get their running board timer to do what its supposed to? Mine will only stay out for ~ 5 seconds.
3) Saw some other posts on the driver side mirror rattling, anyone have luck with the dealership fixing it?
I brought it to the dealership, but they would only look at any issue if they could keep it for 3 days and wouldn't give me a loaner, even if i made an appointment far ahead of time. This is my first Ford, but seems ridiculous, every other manufacture, Subaru, Toyota, GM, etc all would give me a loaner for warranty issues if they needed it over a day. I tried contacting Ford but just spoke to some random person who didn't care and wouldn't do anything useful. The car itself has been nice other than these issues, but i'm not inclined to buy a Ford again if they have to take my car all the time, we don't have extra cars.
thanks for anyone who can help.
