Follow up: Well I took in my Expy for an oil change and to catch up on some warranty work. They needed to repair/replace some small trim items, fix a USB port, and look at the remote start via key fob. It wasn’t my imagination and the remote start was indeed having issues. I took it to my local dealer as I purchased out of town. They were a little befuddled and are trying to figure out if the remote start was installed by the dealership I purchased it from or if it was factory. Sure seems like factory to me, but they are looking into it. The remote start through the app works consistently well so I think this was a factory install. They say they replaced the ECM but that didn’t resolve the issue. They are speaking with a dealership that reports the same issue from an 2018 F150 and have a call in with the ford engineers. I’ll update later on final fix.
Did you ever find a fix for this remote start issue? My 2018 Expedition Max Limited is doing the same thing. Issue appears to only happen when the engine is cold. Really bizarre it trys to turn over. Remote start from the Fordpass app works everytime.
