WHaylett Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Yesterday, I got a message on my 2013 Edge (small display, not touch) that said something about a language update. I wasn't able to get a photo of it or remember the exact wording. I had the same message at least once (maybe twice) last year about this time of the year. Soon after, I began getting battery saver warnings in the display. I took it in for service at 3 different occassions last year (twice in December, then again in February) for this message. Each time they found a slight battery drain but no other issues. We initiated a claim with Ford, anticipating a possible Lemon Law case, but the 3rd time a Ford engineer instructed them to do a software update (re TSB 12-11-8). They gave us a loaner and kept the vehicle for a couple of weeks and found no other problems. We haven't had another message since. I called and talked to the dealer service manager today and he reports they have never seen a message like that. He said he called Ford engineering and they didn't provide any information about a message like that either. I've tried searching on the topic and found nothing. Not sure if the language message was related to the battery saver messages last year, but the seemed to happen close together. We're afraid our problems may be returning. I sure hope not! Has anyone had a message mentioning a language update. If it happens again, I will try to get a photo or at least remember the exact wording. Thanks in advance for any insights or direct knowledge, Wendy Haylett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coeperc Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 My 2012 does this occasionally. It says display language can not be updated. Doesn't seem to affect anything so I don't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHaylett Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the response re your 2012, coeperc. As an update, in case you or anyone would like to know more, the Service Manager at our dealer pushed for more info with Ford and they said they were aware of the problem, but did not have a software fix at this point. They expressed that it should have no impact on the issue I was worried about ,or other functional operations, and that it was a communication error only.

Edge1911 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 I get that "language cannot be updated message" on occasion. it seems to happen when I hit the unlock button twice on my key fob and open the lift hatch. Odd for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamix1 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 There was a sync update a few weeks ago that I did and prior to the update I would get that message at least once a week. After the update I haven't seen the message since. Maybe there was a fix in that update. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge1911 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 did you do the sync update yourself or have the dealer do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
