    3rd row seat not folding

    Are you trying this with the car off? One time, mine didn't go down until I started the engine and then it worked. It could be a weak 12V battery.

    Battery Life PSA

    FordPass App reports car going into PowerSave Mode. Same for Owner's Dashboard on Ford.com website. You lose Vehicle Location and other functions of the App. Just hook up the weak battery to a tender when parked. All functions return to Normal when battery returns to fully charged state.

    Help, I don’t want to have to get rid of!

    So, you're saying you press the hard brake pedal and press the power button, but all you get is battery on, not crank? As if you pressed the power button without touching the brake pedal? With the car at dealer, these suggestions will not do you any good, but: when you press the brake pedal, do...

    Battery or other question

    I don't think you said how old your car/battery was, but mine is a 2020, so 4 years on the original battery. We bought it December 2022 and my battery started doing this power save thing the day I purchased it. At first I didn't bother because it always started without any hesitation. The only...

    Edmunds Comparison

    A lot of this comes down to brand loyalty. We rode in a long wheelbase GMC Yukon(?) and I thought the ride was awful. At the time, Jeep only had the standard wheelbase, though I think that's corrected now.

    2019 New Owner Questions

    How many miles on her? Just change the rear diff lube. Have you tried drive mode gravel/grass/snow to see if there's a whine from the front diff too? In this mode, the front diff is always providing torque to the fronts. You can see it if you go to the off-road power distribution display.

    No complaints

    My first Ford was a 2001 Excursion 7.3 diesel. It rode like a buckboard. My first Expy was a used 2015 EL Limited 4x4 Towing with 110K miles. It was beat to sh*t and rode like it, bouncing like a roller coaster literally throwing passengers out of their seats! Traded it on our current 2020 MAX...

    Smaller Wheels for Softer Ride

    I live at 7,000 feet on the Palmer Divide and we got 14 inches yesterday! I have the factory 20's on mine and bought four new Kumho Crugen HT51 All-Season with 3-Peak Snowflake rating last summer. I never do off-road, but need good winter traction as our streets are in shade and keep ice until...

    Auto Start Stop Damage turbo's?

    On my car, if I don't keep the battery on a trickle charger, the AS/S will not engage due to battery charging. My drives are short, less than 20 miles one-way so driving never fully charges the battery. Kind of a poor man's AS/S delete!

    Glass lift gate unlatches sporadically

    Physical latch adjustment is out of whack. When you close the lift gate, is it snugly fitting with no movement? Perhaps it has been slammed a few times causing adjustment to go out of spec.

    Dial Shifter - Let Me Vent!

    I'll tell you what I like about the new shifter: because there's no physical connection between the shifter and the tranny, you don't have to move to P when you stop. Just stop the car with the brake pedal and press the Power button to shut off the engine. Voila, the system switches to P...

    2019 Expo XLT sways all over the place after hitting bumps

    Perhaps your car was in an undisclosed wreck that damaged the suspension/frame. My 2020 MAX Limited with 76K miles is stable as a rock. Couldn't be happier with stability and ride.

    Has anyone had a smooth shifting 10 speed? Do they all do the occasional clunk?

    Our 2020 MAX Limited was delivered June 18, 2020. We bought it used Dec 7, 2022 with 72K miles on the clock. In the year since, we added 4.5K miles. In our year with the car, we have never experienced any rough shifting. There's no transmission maintenance mentioned in CARFAX. I definitely can...

    Won't start in negative temps

    That really sucks, of course, but I would just wait until everything thaws out, recharge the battery and try it again. That's all the dealer is going to do, and charge you for the towing and labor. Actually, your money would be better spent on a jump start pack like this, https://no.co/gb40...

    Snow Beast

    Had the opportunity to use Snow/Gravel/Mud mode recently here in Colo and after exiting the slippery hills in my neighborhood, I switched it back to Normal without touching anything else. There was a noticeable bump in torque to the wheels upon switching to Normal, meaning throttle mapping is...

    USB ports next to phone charger not working

    My 2020 SYNC 3 reports Version 3.4.23188 I never could get wifi updates to work, so prefer the USB stick method. Have had no problems updating via USB. Of course, if your USB is inoperable, that won't help you any.

    Wireless charge pad - phone slip down

    For some reason when I bought my 2020, the previous owner had turned the cell phone pad upside down so the retaining lip was at the top. Have you removed the pad to inspect and try turning it around? Mine was all in one piece, just turned upside down.

    Battery died

    I turned off all wifi access and automatic update functions so the car would not be constantly connecting to wifi and ford's cloud when it was sitting in the garage. It was always going into power save mode anyway. Alternately, you could leave the 12V battery on a trickle charger while...

    OTA snyc updates 2023

    My 2020 has the older SYNC 3 system, so not sure if it applies, but the only way I could get updates was to download the file to my PC and use the memory stick option. Could never get OTA to work.

    2020 odd issues. Possibly bad battery?

    Before dropping $ on a new battery, have it tested! I have this Topdon BT100 and use it all the time. When I bought my used 2020 just over a year ago, my battery must have been sitting on the lot for quite a while and had a low enough voltage the computer would go into low power mode and AS/S...

    Auto start stop comes on more in cold weather?

    This. I discovered a couple of weird ones: it won't come on if the steering wheel is not straight/centered and annoyingly you must be in D. If you come to a stop to park, it will engage briefly until you move the shift knob from D to P. To fix this, I'm learning to simply hit the Start/Stop...
