Connectivity Dead - 2024 F-150 Lightning Lariat

[roddiaz1]

I hear you, and I feel your pain. My problems are a bit different than yours, but the experience is similar. I feel like a bought a $86k iPhone (or Android phone) that can make calls and send texts but none of the other apps work. That’s what the Lightning has been reduce to. I think the EV experience requires connectivity, and reliable connectivity at that.

My modem fails all the time and gets locked up. Some trips or works fine and others it’s locked up with no internet connectivity. I usually have to reset it by pulling the plug and re-connecting it. Like you the sync reset does nothing.
dealer wants me to leave it for 3-4 days just before they can check it out.

Ok, the battery reset seems to have restored service. The frustrating thing is why did is lock up and I'm not going to be very keen on doing that maneuver if it locks up again.

It’s basically a giant computer and occasionally that’s just what you have to do to computers and other electronics!

Yeah, that's not something I'm interested in dealing with like I did with the Nissan Leaf. If it becomes a persistent problem, I will leverage Colorado's new and improved Lemon Law Act. As of August of this year, the dealership or manufacturer gets 3 tries to fix any individual issue and after that I can compel them to buy it back.

I like the truck a lot, but the number issues I've had to deal with over the first 60 days of ownership is concerning, especially considering the difficulty I've experienced getting support from Ford.
