Interesting. I took mine in and they had it for 2 weeks and finally they got it to replicate the issue. They ordered a new switch and told me the engineers are working on a software update for it as well. In the meantime, my truck hasn't done it since I got it back which has been about a month now. I'll repost when I take it in. I think the switch came in.
Glad they were able to replicate the issue. 2 weeks though? Yikes!

Good information. Thanks for taking one for the team! 😁

This happens to me constantly(at least a couple of times a week). I've reported it, but of course they want me to bring the truck in; however, how am I supposed to go without a vehicle while they try to diagnose and replicate it.

Sometimes when I hear it try to happen I'll get the "Drive mode not available" error pop up and then the switch doesn't work at all even if I try to switch it until the next restart.

is @Ford on this forum? I have had my Raptor to the dealer three times and they cant replicate it. Admittedly it's intermittent, but I find it strange that we cant change a $156.00 part after all else failed. Plus it's on national backorder, almost feels like there's an issue here? Love my truck but this is getting stupid.

Ford quit monitoring the site quite some time ago. They announced as such. Reaching out to them here is unfortunately falling on deaf ears.

Mine still does it. Happened this morning when I started the truck to go to work. Placed my sunglasses in the cup holder and it just started switching modes. For me it's been annoying more than a safety concern. It won't actually switch to 4L or what have you unless you come to a complete stop (says so anyways). I'm also plagued with random "unable to use MyMode" messages, and at that point it won't switch modes at all. Simple restart fixes it but still annoying.
