In the cars I got, I kind of use a key fob, get in them, start them up, and then kind of just drive.
To be honest it’s all a gimmick . We’ve been getting deep sleep messages blah blah and it’s going nowhere near the dealers . As I said in another post you wouldn’t know about the battery if there was no app . So the notifications are off . If there’s any problems starting the car then it will be booked in . Touch wood been no problems so far after 9 months :D

Key fob ??? That’s where it all started to go downhill. Should have stuck to the good old fashioned key in the door lock :lol: :lol:

All Volvos top speed limited to 111.8mph. other manufacturers following suit.
Intelligent Road Sign controlled Speed limiters mandatory on new vehicles: Today default is Off. From 2022 new cars Default is ON with option to turn OFF. From 2024 consideration is being given to limiting Drivers Option to turn OFF.
Autonomous Driving vehicles are apparently coming our way, but Why I ask? I've never heard anyone say what they want most from their new car is for it to be completely self driving. Have you? In fact they already exist, they're called a Taxi or a Bus!
I'm with you on this 1984 stuff, 100%.
Disgusting and reminds me of the 'trendy' green cr*p, everything is about banning things.

I had the battery issue, then the car went in for 23 days to try and fix all the problems, first thing I had when I got back in the car was the low battery warning when switched off, almost instantly. Given that it had been on full charge, there wasn’t any need for it to happen, Anyway, performed a battery management reset, which cured the problem for a couple of weeks, but the low battery started up again, complained to the dealer who said they’d replace the battery as a gesture of goodwill as it was a constant fault. But during that time, I managed to reject the car so was never replaced.

Daughters car had this message on the app, last year when she was furloughed. As car was not going anywhere, but not had a problem since. Getting used most days so no issue. So could it be that if the car is left stood for a while it drains the battery ?

Not had a issue with the wife’s car 🤞, so hopefully this continues.

I guess the battery will drain if the car is parked up. Basically it’s a connected car and will be constantly trying to connect to the app, maps and whatever else it connects to.

I’m going away for two weeks next month so it will be parked up at the airport. Does anyone think it’s worth turning off the connection? Can I? Obviously I won’t get any notifications but it’s not as if I can do anything from Portugal - other than stress out if I get notifications.

Personally I would go away and enjoy myself and not worry about it. If it don't start, (if you decide to come back that is) click Roadside on your Fordpass app. Or consult your breakdown company. :D
