I think it is a malfunction of whatever the mechanism is that locks the steering column. From the sound and feel of it I would guess that it uses something similar to a drum brake but at this point it’s all speculation.
I had to go check and you are right, it resets after each start cycle which I think is silly. Hopefully Ford updates this over the air for those in the cold regions.
Tried that. Still only goes 30 mins unless you go into the settings and turn off the 30 min idle. (Which resets on each startup). If someone can find a solution on Forscan that would be sweet!
I’m not quite sure what you mean by this question. There are many areas of cold weather performance that are inadequate. Most of them seem to be due to computer programming. It is one thing to test a vehicle in cold weather, it is a completely different thing to live with it in cold weather. There are things that you need to do to keep yourself and your vehicle alive in the cold that people who haven’t lived it will never understand.
Or until someone steals it…
There was a video yesterday cant find the post now. The window got icyed over would not roll down in tell the ice was removed in the door.
Not true. It will still ask you after 30 minutes. If you are not looking at the dash when it asks it will shut off.
Any Ford dealer in Canada should be able to do that for you. I imagine many in ID and MT can do the same. Call around.
I want to know about anything and everything that could potentially leave me stranded where it is cold enough to kill me.
