FWIW: I have a Heritage Limited, which is supposed to be basically a Badlands with the Heritage color scheme...2L, suspension, etc. And the Badlands (and not other models) has the provision for the screw-in hook behind that little cover in the rear bumper fascia.
Guess what: They did NOT include...
I just now got a Ford email about a non-recall recall:
Customer Satisfaction Program for Certain 2018-2024 Ford Vehicles With SYNC® 3
Building vehicles you can count on is one of our most important jobs. Which is why we've issued a Customer Satisfaction Program for some 2018-2024 Ford vehicles...
I know I'm in the minority, but I usually have all my audio OFF ... just me and my thoughts.
So I turn off the audio (push the button).
The random thing: Sometimes at key-on, the audio (radio) stays off...other times it fires back up again. Ok, I can just push the button again... but as a...
Low...3500 in 1 year!
And Sync is up to date. But I did find a couple data reporting options (sync & audio) that were on. I toggled them off, we'll see...
1. What's this all about? I can't find anything in Settings that addresses it.
2. Ford says they don't share data with insurers like GM does...but I remain skeptical when I see a message like this!
3. And the message keeps popping up every time I start a new trip, no matter I hit OK every time...
Regarding auto start stop ... My 2023 with low miles wasn't working, with message "engine on due to battery charging". Tech charged the battery, ASS worked! He said drive more. But the next day, ASS not working again.
Did the recall, figured that would fix it. Nope.
Another visit, finally they...
That makes zero sense, sorry. The dealer is NOT Ford. Ford wants you to get it fixed, and the dealer wants to get paid for the repair. The dealer wouldn't be liable for the results of your inaction anyway.
Apparently the pause was lifted 5/24...dealer did the work for me yesterday 5/28. Hoped it would fix the non-functioning stop-start, but no, and I STILL get the message "Engine on due to battery charging", and yes I put miles on it.
Too many threads on this recall!
This thread answers my Q- yes the pause was lifted.: https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/threads/5-23-2024-recall-24s24-on-hold-as-of-5-24-2024-hold-is-lifted.11399/
Mebbe I need a battery, I get the battery charging message even after long drives. But 3600...
Was the Pause lifted? My dealer performed the 24S24 service on my BS yesterday 5/28.
"The system is now operating as designed". But my AS/AS is still non-functional with message "Engine on due to battery charging".
FYI: My Ford dealer found no issue with battery or charging system. They recharged the battery and the Auto StartStop works again. They feel that I just need to drive more to keep the battery charged up.
But yes, mileage is low and the vehicle is not driven a lot... but this issue existed even...
Sorry, missed the thread that already discusses this:
https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/threads/12-volt-battery-charge-state-detection-recall-coming-out.10963/
I've seen a lot of mentions of defunct auto stop-start. Most folks are happy about it, but it may be a sign of another issue.
Recall letters are supposed to go out in May for 24V-267. Has to do with incorrect evaluation of battery state-of-charge. An undetected low battery is obviously bad, but...
