So ive done almost 15 thousand kilometers in my Raptor since collecting in Early Dec 23 thanks to mainly a 5000k road trip from NSW to Cairns .
This has gone about without incident or fault apart from a few speeding tickets.
A couple of weeks ago when I started up I received the message "Drive mode not available " meaning it will not move from normal to sport or any other mode.
It will not switch from 4A to any other drive option .
The Manual air con controls stopped working and the radio has to be changed on the steering wheel.
For the last couple of weeks I've drove around in Granny mode waiting for my local Ford dealer to have a New drive mode interface delivered which I was assured was the problem .
Well today it was fitted ... No difference apart from now the front safety module is not communicating with the car .
This is the box of tricks behind the rear view mirror with the camera etc contained on the windscreen.
So they have ordered one of those ....
Not complaining as I know these things happen and my local Ford are brilliant even after spending an hour in the workshop with them today they were scratching there heads but totally honest and up front that they had not seen this before and they sell a lot of Raptors.
Will keep you posted on the next round of part changeouts but looking forward to that sport button........
