I have had this same issue on three fords and on my bronco. It's a problem with the APIM module. My dealership confirmed the same on the bronco and said they are back ordered.
Cars are sitting on lots because most buyers don’t have the cash and if you finance an auto purchase now you are looking at 8 to 10% interest. Monthly payments have skyrocketed.
I take a different approach. I know I’m going to get hacked. If you think your data hasn’t been hacked then you’re wrong. I have restrictions on my SS with every credit reported agency.
For an example, my data was hacked with AT&T, experian, Bank of America, Apple, etc…
Every Ford I have owed has issues with the api module. Explorer, cmax and now my bronco. Ford service department said that they know it’s the cause of the crashing issues but that they are backlogged on replacements.
In 2021, I had a guy pull in front of me. He was turning right on red and didn’t look. I hit his drivers side door at 30+. My shoulder and neck have not fully healed. Still seeing my chiro. Orth surgeon says there is nothing to do.
Battery is completely dead after I was gone on vacation for a week. So, the dealership has replaced it and it is maintaining the charge. Haven’t picked it up yet.
So, my battery is dead. Jumped it twice and within twos minutes I get a warning that the car is being turned off to save the battery.
I am getting it towed to the dealership.
