Yes, you are not alone. I had this issue today on my BL/BL and it was 90/91 degrees. My car was outside in an un-sheltered parking lot for a couple of hours.
Thankyou so much! I’m glad that I’ll get some warning!
Yeah, my focus warned me. For what it’s worth, I tried both my fobs and it happened the same in my BS. I made an appt at the ford dealer next week.
Thanks for this! Yes, I’m going to make an appointment also! Good luck—pls keep us posted!
If your fob dies you can still place it on the emergency spot under the mat under the usb chargers. That will allow you to start and drive your car.
Thanks for this - I had seen something about it on a video and believe that there's going to be a webcast livestream thing tomorrow on Ford's site that covers some topics-- I think key fob may be on it!.
Thanks so much for the update! I have an appointment on Friday and I will take both of my key fobs with me. I haven’t experienced the error message since that day; however, I haven’t left it outside in 90+ degree weather since. Will keep close. Fingers crossed!
The dealer still has it and the shop foreman is working on it , waiting on a call back from Ford’s engineering dept. The dealer is at least excellent w/their updates
If it's your daily driver, I'd suggest change the battery every year, or year and a half, at least one Fob. I try to rotate which key I use every couple weeks just to keep the key active. I consider it preventative maintenance from all the push button start cars I've leased along the way.
According to Ford there are 7 antennas that detect your keys signal. Ford Overnighted the one they believe was the culprit that was in the console area and it was installed. So far the dealer says it works but hard to confirm because we don’t have 90 degree weather. Picking it up today and giving it a go.
