FordPass DTE broken again?

[craigc]

It shows 80% fuel but 0 miles to empty….man it must be hard for those engineers to keep this app working properly.

No problem on my end, mileage and percentage function as specified.??

No problems to report here, but I'll still complain about the lack of zone lighting. ?

Mine all good too.

Hey craigc, try doing a hard reboot of your phone first. If that doesn't fix it, try uninstall/re-install the FordPass app.

it's working again. didn't reboot or anything either.... odd, but not surprising. and yes, really wish zone lighting was back!

Thanks for update craigc. Others are reporting problems with FordPass today. Sounds like it may have been on their end. ?

This is a good reason why people prefer to buy the keypad accessory and not rely on the app to unlock your doors in a pinch. The app sucks pretty bad.

Dont you still need the key to start the truck once youre in it? I dont understand the keypad if you have the key on you.

I'd imagine the best modern use case is the ability to leave your keys and stuff in a locked vehicle without having to carry your keys with you (vehicle access only).

I didn't order it with my new truck since it's now a dealer installed option now and does not match the paint color.

Yes, to start the truck you do.

The keypad is most useful for when you've either purposefully or accidentally locked your keys in the truck.

When I'm camping/hiking/swimming I lock the keys in the truck so I don't risk losing them. If I relied on the app to unlock my doors, there could easily be instances where the app fails to unlock the doors and I'd be unable to retrieve my keys. With the keypad, I avoid that issue.

Fair enough. I usually keep my keys in a ziplock bag if I do something outdoorsy. Too paranoid Ill get them locked in by accident.

I use my keypad anytime my wife is with me and has her purse. she leaves purse in truck sometimes and then when i try to lock by pressing on the handle it honks and fails to lock because it detects her key. then I use the keypad to lock. The nice thing about the Ranger though is I can still pull out my Fob and it'll lock with that even with the second key still inside. But to me the keypad is easier.
