Modes Glitch While Driving... Yikes!

[sweeks888]

Yesterday at 40mph on a normal street, for no apparent reason... my 2024 Ranger Raptor decided to auto change to all other driving modes, one after another (i.e. 2High then All wheel drive then 4High and then tried 4Low, all on its own. Thankfully the computer wouldn't allow it to drop into 4L without first stopping, else may have been an accident or truck damage... WTF!
Also, now that this glitch has stopped (at least for the time being), at any speed below 20mph, the 4 wheel drive icon on the instrument cluster turns yellow and any speed over 30, it goes back off to normal gray. And I believe it's actually engaging 4 wheel drive, even though it still indicates 2H. Def going to the dealer ASAP, but wondering if anyone else on here has experienced this strange anomaly and what if anything, you found out about it? A quick search on the net shows this known issue exists, but not a definite solution.

There are one or two other threads in here on that same topic. I've got a 24 Lariat FX4 that went into Sand mode while driving down the freeway. Had to pull over and stop to get it back to normal. Dealer couldn't find anything wrong (of course).

There already a thread about this issue with the idea of everyone posting on it that is having the issue

and filing a complaint with UHTSA with the goal to get Ford to issue a recall

there is a link in that thread to file a complaint

Yep. It’s happened to my 24 Raptor more times than I can count. On the freeway, residential streets and in parking lots. Nothing like having it go to 4L while turning in an asphalt parking lot!
