“My sync software was automatically updated from version 2.3 to version 3.0, after that update, my voice recognition and audible navigation turn-by-turn prompts no longer work. After contacting the ford hotline I was instructed to take the car to my local dealership.

“My car has had an engine light that comes on goes off throwing a code for Cylinder One Misfire since January 2023. It was 'repaired' at the dealership that I bought it from and they replaced the spark plugs and the coil and that did not stop the light from coming on and going on. I took it to another service center in my town and had it checked one of the times that the engine light was on and they used a camera and ran it through the system and found nothing wrong. It has now started to consume large amounts of coolant but I am not seeing a leak on the ground. …”
