syncmyride.com says I have to go to dealership to get upgrade. I called Ford and they told me it was b/c I had to get the new performance upgrade from March, but I already have 3.0.2 installed. Then they told me it was because I had an open recall for the back seats??? I swear, it is the blind leading the blind over there...

What is your current MFT version in syncmyride? Maybe you have not updated this in syncmyride? If it's also showing V3.0.2, then you might want to contact Rebecca.

As another poster mentioned, if you do a software update you have to go back and update syncmyride.com to reflect the new software version. If it is indeed 3.02 in syncmyride, then I'm not sure what the problem is.

One thing you may want to do if you have not already is to check you mft version on syncmyride. Mine was still showing v2.11 even though the dealer had upgraded mine last Spring. They evidently had not reported the update.

So I downloaded he reporting tool and reported the prior update. Then gave it a minute and it showed the correct info. Then I could download he new update.

Hi, falkirk18!

Certain vehicles have unique update requirements, based on specific hardware or software components, which our dealerships are best qualified to provide.

Ford is taking my vehicle Wednesday and I'm not accepting it back until everything is fixed! I've hired an attorney and am now following direction from them. I've taken photos of every piece of my vehicle, and will be recording the interactions at the dealership. No one at Ford seems to respond to the comments about how the consumer is treated, so we will see how they like the dealership interactions posted on the internet, including the phone calls from Ford Corporate. It is sad I've had to resort to this type of behavior, but Ford needs to be held responsible. When the service manager tells me he is sick of dealing with upset customers b/c Ford continues to ignore the complaints and problems owners are having was the last straw!

What a waste of money this purchase was.... Many of you are proud of your Explorer's, but this one has been a nightmare! And what is even worse than the quality of the product has been the abysmal treatment by all Ford employees and representatives! The MFT debacle is just the tip of the iceberg.

Sorry Ford, but this was my last purchase of one of your products... After 25 years of Ford product loyalty, I've spent my last hard earned dollar with you. I can't even begin to express how disgusted I am at the lack of accountability that is apparent in the culture you have built at your company. Shame on you!
