The dealership has inspected it several times and concluded that the noise is not being caused by the seals. I think it is partially, but I think it is much more likely due to the fact there isn't any insulation in the doors, the back, the firewall or the roof. It literally sounds like my 1973...

I've seriously thought about trading in my 2023 Ranger for something different as I've never been happy with it, I just don't know what. I loved my 2018 F 150 Lariat, but since Idaho is getting so crowded and congested, and the parking spaces are gotting so small, I decided to down size into a...

These are actually manufactured for Ford by AVS, so yep they do look suspiciously similar for some reason. I installed the Ford branded ones on my 2023 and lo and behold they created an ungodly amount of wind noise. Dealership body techs actually troubleshot the excessive wind noise problem...

I do, I guess that's to make up for the terrible mileage in town. I think I would much rather see that EPA-estimated 21 mpg in town though. I would have to agree with you on the bad customer support from the top down. Granted, even Ford makes a lemon some time, and that's perfectly...

Well, all I can say is that after 50 years of Fords, I'm not terribly impressed with my 2023. I've had quite a few issues since I got it in Feb, some have been annoyances, some have been major issues. The problems with Sync 3 system, the emissions system check engine lights, and with the...

Lol! Actually before we got sidetracked on how Ford processes may or may not work, and being zen and waiting for things that obviously are not going to happen, that was the point I was trying to make. I firmly believe that the error code we code about our vehicles being built prior to 2010...

Sorry Oh, but since you had the same "InvalidModelYear(<2010): The vehicle’s model year is not eligible for a Sync 3 map update. Please check the VIN. (012) error" message that I and others did, I'm moving over in the lifeboat for you bud. During my 7 months of talking with the Ford ITV and...

Unfortunately FoMoCo and my dealership are the ones turning blue in the face. They can't get it to work and this has been ongoing for 7 months now.

Wish mine would auto-update, but I'd settle for being able to load it from a USB. Actually, I just wish Ford would fix their systems, but I think world peace is probably more likely to happen first.

Yeah, its mainly a question of just how bad... Perhaps its a good thing Farley stole Peter Stern from Apple to head up the newly formed Ford Integrated Services division. Software people actually overseeing a software division, whoda thought?

Ford wanted the dealer to try to apply the update via their FDRS system (they don't do USB), which hasn't worked for them for the past 7 months. Now Ford wants them to use Ford's UUU system (whatever that is) to try to update my Ranger and then open their own ticket with the Ford TAC. Cyanlabs...

I would agree with you, except mine is still at version 3.4.21194 and it never even saw the 22251 update much less the new 23188 update. According to Ford, mine was "supposedly" shipped with the NA 2 21 maps and sync 3.4.22200, instead it had NA 2 20 and 21194; I had to send Ford a picture to...

Unfortunately you have to be able to download the software package from the Ford server to your USB drive in order to install the software to your vehicle and create the .XML file to upload back to Ford. I am getting neither a manual, nor an automatic, notification; the Ford server is simply...

I can't update my Sync at all. Mine came with out-of-date maps that even Ford said I shouldn't have; but the Sync Navigation site kept telling me my 2023 was built prior to 2010, so it wasn't eligible for map updates. Ford ITV told me to go to my dealership and have them update my maps...

It does, but it was about as much use to me as Lithia's Ford diagnostics machines were to them. Considering quite a few of the Ford/Lincoln TSBs for this issue call for Ford techs to disconnect and reconnect every emission hose on the system, it makes me wonder. The article you found did give...

I did, maybe. Ford's diagnostics kept passing all areas of the emissions test tree so neither the tech, nor Ford apparently, were able to isolate down to an exact bad component. The tech ran through the emissions tree several times but kept ending up with the same result, with the previously...

Well, my Sync 3 version 3.4.21194 is apparently still up-to-date as well. But then my Sync 3 never saw the 3.4.22251 when it rolled out.

I know Ford does not make their own parts, I've been buying Fords for 50 years now. Actually the ones they are showing me look exactly like AVS packaging, only the packing has the Ford/Lincoln brands and logos, is printed in blue and silver Ford colors, and with Ford part numbers. I'm sure its...

Just curious how many people are experiencing wind noise with their Rangers. My 2023 has had really bad and loud wind noise, and some water intrusion during heavy rains, since Day 1. I installed the OEM side window air deflectors (stick ons) hoping to cut down on the wind noise, it did not...

After originally replacing the Fuel Evaporative Canister - Ford (GD9Z-9D653-A) which cleared the P04F0 code, my Ranger coded with the P04F0 code again after another 500 miles. Took it back into my dealership and once again Ford's diagnostics declared the just replaced Fuel Evaporative Canister...
