FordPass Customer Insights

1. The car has been driven 127 miles & the app still same issue app person.It would be nice to be able to change the notification sound so I notice immediately when the alarm is going off because the dogs set it off all the time since disabling motion detection doesn't work and continue to be traumatized each time I think I've fixed it.

2. At one time I thought it was cool, but with so many issues others have had as well as me, it is obvious Ford does not have good quality control on software.

3. Also, some status regarding if the car is locked, or just overall status of the car from the dashboard, would be great.I installed this app after purchasing a new vehicle to help keep up to date on maintenance, but as soon as I log in and agree to terms it just keep loading and spinning not doing anything.

4. And when I try to just log in online instead, it keeps not being able to find my vehicle's VIN even though I made sure it is correct.Good app, love all the features.

5. It will also tell you the location of the vehicle if it's stolen or lost for some reason.7/1/23-Now being told car failed to lock when I visually see that it locks.

6. So what you say, in winter setting a departure time is the only way to precondition your battery.

7. Also would be nice to have a mode where it locks automatically after some time or walk always.

8. I have been unable to set a departure time since early December.

9. Or to set a departure time, then the departure time either change or vanish.

10. I'm not seeing anything on battery life, yet my clock keeps resetting an hour off, and the screen for radio/maps intermittently goes black.

11. Ford needs to fix these problems.Best app for a vehicle ever.

Reported Issues

Note: Issues displayed have already been sent to the developer and are older than 7 days.

  • Is anyone reading reviews on the new update? I've read dozens. The highest rating is 2 stars. The location search is useless. It shows where the vehicle was it's last parked location. Not where the vehicle is in real time. The old version worked! If Ford had a vehicle with this many complaints, there would be a recall. You had an app that wasn't broke. At least give us the option to go back to the previous version until the new version works.

  • I just bought a 2018 explorer limited, and cannot get the App and the software to work. App just says Activation pending (activation will be complete when and authorized user approves request). Software just states its gathering information and never connects. I have not been able to find a fix online or in any forums.
