    forward automatic emergency braking

    I believe this was one of the things we "tested" during the Ford Performance School. Drive towards a "balloon" that looks a lot like the rear end of a car ... accelerate to ~25mph ... plant your foot firmly on the floor and wait. Red light on the dash, loud warning tone, then it slams on the...

    If you were to buy now, would you still buy what you bought? 6th Gen (2020+)

    We have had our 2020 ST for about a year and half and are generally pleased. There's been a couple of issues along the way, mostly fixed by the dealer. The most glaring issue has been the SYNC 3 fiasco where they messed up the TravelLink ... and then took months to fix it. Really poor...

    SYNC Build 21194 Is Released by Ford

    I'm also on 21194 and noted this as well. Hmmmmm Ken

    Issues With Sirius Updates

    Also ... is the 2014 unit the same unit that we have in the 2020+'s? Ken

    SYNC Build 21194 Is Released by Ford

    Yeah, I agree this was overkill ... but just in case, I wanted to remove any trace of my pirate days ... everything still running smoothly!! Ken

    SYNC Build 21194 Is Released by Ford

    USB install done, threw in another Master Reset and re-registration with Ford Pass just for fun ... and all seems to be working well. Finally ... Ken

    SYNC Build 21194 Is Released by Ford

    Found it on the owner site as I have had the wifi/auto update function disabled. Cyan's 21194 has been OK, but I really feel better being legit!! After install, I'll even take a chance and re-enable wifi/auto update. Hopefully Ford has learned a few lessons from this mess. Ken

    Inlet Exhaust Leak Recall?

    Saw this on CarFax after receiving an email "warning". I checked the NTSB site and there's no mention, and when I plugged my VIN into the recall checker on the Ford Owner site came up indicated "None." Anyone familiar with this? I'm curious because I've been noticing a very faint "chugging"...

    Sync 21098 OTA Available

    And considering that mine's been working fine after downgrading, it's pretty clearly a software issue in my book. If you're interested in trying that out, drop a DM to UofMEngineer for additional information. Ken

    Sync 21098 OTA Available

    The only time mine worked reliably was after a Master Reset. Once I stopped and restarted, TL was absent and I had all sorts of freeze ups with the Sirius sat radio and the audio presets. Although my knowledge of programming is extremely limited, I just can't help but think there is a...

    Sync 21098 OTA Available

    I got it once yesterday (Sunday) ... right after the remote locking worked as normal!! Ken

    Sync 21098 OTA Available

    I’m also wondering if perhaps the push to get Sync 4 out the door for the Mach-e and so on is taking resources away from the older team (Sync 3). Perhaps they need more folks to support all their systems. Ken

    Sync 21098 OTA Available

    Well, I've been complaining a lot on social media and tried some emails direct to "senior management". Had a nice phone call today with a lady in the head office who understood our frustration with the TL issue non-resolution. Said she'd ensure that it was looked into. However, I just...

    Sync 21098 OTA Available

    Make sure you chat with SYNC support or call in for a case number with Lincoln. The rep I chatted with today was more than willing to update my existing case and actually asked some specific questions concerning TL, i.e. which items were problematic and so on. Still no excuse for not fixing a...

    Sync 21098 OTA Available

    FWIW - I created a post on Ford's FaceBook page about this whole mess .. using very nice language, of course. Pointed out that I see this as an issue worth of upper management attention since while a glitch or bug in 21020 may be understandable, issuing 21098 a month later without a fix should...

    Sync 21098 OTA Available

    Well, I put enough time for a holiday ... did a Master Reset, installed 21098 that had been downloaded via USB, it rebooted itself and TL worked! Did a Master Reset ... and TL worked ... ONCE. Next key start after pairing my phone, etc, no go. Plus, my Ford Pass will not reactivate the vehicle...

    Sync 21098 OTA Available

    I wonder if a Master Reset before, and after, this update might do the trick? When I reverted to 20282 it was wonky until I did a MR after the downgrade finished. I might try as I still have the files to downgrade if necessary …. and I’m a glutton for punishment!! Ken UPDATE: Here's what the...

    Sync 3.4 Update 21020 and OTA Updates

    Mine did this several times on 21020, but I have not seen this issue since downgrading to 20282. I fuund this whole mess particularly interesting since Ford has been bragging about their OTA updates for the new F-150, Mach-E and, I think, Bronco. Sure as heck hope it works better than this one...

    Sync 3.4 Update 21020 and OTA Updates

    When my dealer ran that one, it went back to 20136. Ran rough and gave me a lot of weird indications, but it ran. But, they left the wifi/auto updates on (and I didn't check) and after a couple of days, 21020 showed up, along with all of the issues. I manually rolled back to 20282 but this...

    Sync 3.4 Update 21020 and OTA Updates

    Actually, you should be "Subscribed" to all of the Travel Link options for the next 5 years on Ford. The music times out after 3 or 6 months (can't remember which), but the others will continue. (From my Sirius account page) Cheers!! Ken

    Sync 3.4 Update 21020 and OTA Updates

    I was scheduled in tomorrow (Wednesday, 9 Jun), but since 20282 was installed, things have been running mostly smoothly. There's a few transitions that are a bit slower, and the TravelLink seems to load their data slower than before, but all in all it seems to be OK. Rather than have the...

    Sync 3.4 Update 21020 and OTA Updates

    No. It removed and reset the “authorization” of course but once done it seems to be back to normal. Ken

    Sync 3.4 Update 21020 and OTA Updates

    I did a reset before the install, but not after ... on my way .... :) Thanks!! (After Master Reset and four restarts ... everything's in place!! So far, so good!! Thanks!!) Ken

    Sync 3.4 Update 21020 and OTA Updates

    Just returned from a two week trip and found some time to roll mine back to 20282 a couple of days ago. Travel link was pretty much 100% back to normal and worked well. (Helpful also as we drove through some nasty rain storms and the weather radar was helpful in our route planning.) However ...

    Sync 3.4 Update 21020 and OTA Updates

    Well, after mine reverted to 21020 by itself, I found this in the Favorites ... Thinking that this may indicate some corruption somewhere ;), I did a Master Reset. (There were actually three screens like this ... 50 lines) Initially, it looks better with Travel Link working. We'll see ... Ken
