They've continued to nibble away at little things, too. My 2022 only has ambient in door handles, foot wells, and cup holders. Door sill is no longer illuminated and no glove box light. I would have gladly paid more if given the option, but it is what it is.

I got the update you mention, too. I tested my navigation this morning and it works fine so the update didn't affect it.

Yes, I believe they are for drainage. To my knowledge, the plastic or rubber covers are supposed to be removed during vehicle make-ready when it is initially sold. You find similar drains on the bottom of the doors.

I have a DeWalt 20v inflator as well. So much better than those 12v things (I've had two). With the weather beginning to change, this is the time to keep an eye on the tire pressure.

This may vary based on year. Seems like a couple of guys have used the method below with success. Ignition on (engine off), headlight flashers 5 times, then brake pedal 3 times. Battery indicator lamp will flash meaning success.

As I recall, sitting for 8 hours does not replace the actual reset of the BMS. There is a YouTube video somewhere in this forum that (as I recall) does not involve fog lights. I'll look around. If you google 'reset ford bms' you may find a video.

Did you reset the BMS after installing the new battery? Failing to do so will cause all sorts of electrical weirdness.

I've noticed the same thing with Alexa. I don't think it's supposed to do that. In your Amazon account, you will see the original registration date when you set it up in Sync. But the car doesn't retain it. I keep QR Droid on my phone's home screen. If I take a lengthy trip where I might want Alexa, I can re-enable it quickly. It's annoying but I've gotten used to it. QR Droid is your friend if you want to use Alexa. ? I'm not a nighttime driver so the Ambient Lighting isn't such an annoyance. Seems like @Haz posted some info about Ambient Lighting in another thread. My last two Fords have had Sync (3 and 4A). It's buggy as hell sometimes and I've conditioned myself to not let it stress me out. ?

I did buy the hood insulation but I don't think I will do the deflector at the rear bumper. (I'm not limber and young enough to handle the installation.) I do think the insulation made a difference in the sound from the engine compartment and it's simple to install.

I think the blow box is an ignition interlock device to see if you've been drinking. (I had to Google it.) Can't start if it detects alcohol.

Wasn't there a previous problem with the foot sensor that Ford finally resolved? I wonder if leaving this deflector off is how they resolved it. ? I hope everyone posts their final outcome. I would be interested in knowing.

I have 2022 Titanium with tow package. I had noticed that the bumper cover was just hanging but I've not experienced any problems related to it.

I've noticed that myself. I don't drive much after dark so it hasn't bothered me. So, you aren't alone. One thing that does annoy me is that heated and cooled seats DON'T reset themselves.

@akirby is correct. The way they pack electronic modules into vehicles nowadays, there's no telling what was hidden in that wheel well area. I'd be really careful.

Have you been taking it in to the dealer each time? What have they told you was wrong?

I don't understand this. The '21 and '22 models are basically identical, aren't they? Same Sync 4A and I'm not aware of any significant differences except for optional equipment. Why are only the '21 models reporting this problem? I just drove mine down the street for a test drive to make sure and it seems to work fine. Forward camera shuts off at 7 mph and works each time I use it. This only thing that might be at play is the computer chip shortage. Perhaps they swapped out chips that weren't as functionally similar as they thought. ?? This completely sucks.

Do your headlamps go back and forth (a self test) when you start the car? If so, you are fine. The following was posted in a previous post: SSM 48993 - 2020 Edge - Adaptive Headlamps - Selection Greyed Out In Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Some 2020 Edge vehicles equipped with adaptive headlamps may exhibit an IPC selection of adaptive headlamp that appears greyed out or is not able to be selected. This selection does not affect the operation of the adaptive headlamps. This is characteristic of the vehicle and no repairs should be attempted.

Yeah, new one on me. The system won't stop the engine if it isn't capable of restarting it. Something is out of sync. Even though it's been 3 months, was the BMS reset when the battery was changed?

I had a buzzing noise in a previous vehicle and the dealer determined it was just something in the ductwork. On high speed, its flapping sounded like a buzz. Suck and/or blow the dash vents, too. If it's a piece of paper, it may have worked its way through until it got caught.

While the filter is out, you might also want to stick a shop vac in and just suck both directions. Maybe something has fallen into the ductwork. ??

I think either way will work. It does need to be performed though. Try it manually and I bet you're good to go.

Sounds like you're on the right track. Was the BMS reset?

I have learned that interacting with Ford via Social Media or the FordPass app is useless. If you need help locating the Start button, they might be able to help you. They are NOT technical staff at all. If you have a PROBLEM, always go to a dealership. That has been a frustrating lesson. I agree that there needs to be more control over updates and a rollback procedure. Cars are more like computers and Ford is taking the Apple approach.

Schedule with your dealer to have the modules updated. Several modules are involved so it takes all day (mine was in overnight). My dealer only has one tech to do programming so I had to schedule a week in advance. Your letter will mention over the air updates, but don't hold your breath for that.

You might want to go ahead and contact your dealer. This was a big update and, from the way it sounds, a bad update won't correct itself. It's a warranty fix so you are just out the inconvenience. Depending on your dealer, it may be a while before you can even get in. My dealer has ONE tech qualified to do software updates. I had to schedule a week in advance and leave the car overnight.
