Did they charge you for the update?

For those who have had just the bearing replaced, What is the cost of this repair? Does the transmission need to be pulled to do this? Wonder if it is worth it to proactively replace the bearing.

Rebate is still on this spring for Mobile One synthetic . They also can now email you a check and you just print it out. Still need a wait for them to approve it however long that takes. Good till May 31. https://apfco.com/secure/R9721W

The sticker by the drivers door has build date.

Perhaps one of the fuses blew. You can check them with an ohmmeter.

Agree, that upgrade was done for free on all cars during the summer of 2013.

Have you tried logging into https://owner.ford.comand see what version you can download there? From there you can contact sync support and get their help in finding a dealer that knows what they are doing.

Sent you a PM.

I still have the Gen2v361build13171serviceNARev1.exe file 579mb if you want it. I think that was my first upgrade after buying in apr 2013.

You can go to this site https://www.etis.ford.comand see what recalls haven't been done to your car. You can download the 3.8 sync from the ford owner site and install it yourself or go to a dealer and get them to install 3.10 (latest) but they may charge you for that.

I think you can edit one of the files on the flash drive and force it to reload the same version of sync.

Same here no dead batteries in 5 years. I think this problem was more common on SE cars. Something discharging the battery after shutdown but very difficult to troubleshoot. There was a TSB on it a couple years ago make sure the dealer checks all the trouble spots on that document.

I downloaded 3.8 and then 3.10 off the internet and installed it on my 2013 hybrid. 3.10 works fine for me for several months now. The version I downloaded was missing the self diagnostics test.

That is what I was thinking too, small rodent crawled in and died.

Yes, look at my post #34 on this thread. Same results!

Just checked mine , they look fine but I can see them degrading over time from rotations. How are your new ones holding up Paul? Any rust?

Does your key fob have a fresh battery? I tried getting the $99 battery but they said it didn't exist even though the ad stated C-max in the fine print. You can also ask them to connect a charger to the battery posts under the hood so you don't lose any stored data. Also make sure they reset the battery management system.

Welcome to the forum. I don't think you are going to like the mpg's you get @80-85mph. Carry the old lady mentality to the interstate too. I totally changed the way I drive, it becomes a game to squeeze out more mpg. Enjoy the car!

Spoke too soon, radio froze this morning. Popped out F79 fuse under glove box and its working again.

Sounds like an intermittent connection. Could pop open the dash cover and reseat/clean the connectors. For the Microsoft problems maybe we need a reset button on the dash to temporarily break the power so it will reboot. Luckily ours has only glitched a couple times in 4.5 years and it fixed itself next time car was restarted.

I think its more likely that something in the car discharged the battery than the battery being bad.

That does sound excessive. Our 2013 has all original bulbs except for one tail light. I believe the voltage should be about 14-15 VDC when charging. How many miles on the car?

Haven't received it as yet. Voice recognition works on ours about half the time. Sometimes it is humorous. Wonder why cars after Aug 9 2013 are excluded?

After replacing the windshield on our car the wipers were only working correctly sometimes. Ford dealer replaced the sensor fixing the problem. When they replaced the windshield I don't think they did a good job glueing the sensor back on as it appeared cloudy.
