What a clusterf… Sorry, couldn’t resist the joke.
Any word on a hybrid AWD version yet?
Ford Junk from Flat Rock Assembly Recalls after Recalls after Recalls!!
As cool as digital clusters are, there’s just no replacement for traditional gauges, in my opinion!
Not sure if I am facing similar issues but I got my car in May, the issues I face are as follows:
1- screen boot, some items when I start my car the center screen simply doesn’t work it takes over a minute to boot up again, really annoying
2- lag/glitch, there are times if I was to listen to a podcast, video, or music, the screen kinda lags and in turn glitches, sound system also gitters or lags (there is a name to it but forgot)
3- Apple car play -Google maps, not sure if it’s also in android but whenever I use Google maps and at the same time play a song or a video, it Lagos a lot, the map itself doesn’t work sometimes, the sound system makes static noises and there are times where only the right speaker operates, I have to unplug and the plug my phone again to work
I hope these issues are included in the patch, other than the issues I have mentioned, the car is amazing, mind you I have went to my dealer numerous times (I am from a different country) and they always tell me that they haven’t found any issues with the screen, they couldn’t find errors, and they don’t have any updates form Ford, they also contacted them about it
You know what doesn’t fail to turn on every morning in my GT350, the analogue dash… Ford (and others) need to stop creating unnecessary problems with crap tech.
