Ah... fair enough. Is there a way to access the bulletin?Sparks wrote: ↑Mon Mar 07, 2022 4:10 pmThe battery make is irrelevant to the problem. It's a software problem that Ford have or have not yet sorted, they have a tech bulletin out about it.wgtwiddle wrote: ↑Mon Mar 07, 2022 3:54 pmCiao @Marcusfofo... can I ask, what make is the battery?Marcusfofo wrote: ↑Mon Mar 07, 2022 1:31 pm me too (Italy) yesterday I've found the Puma "died". now I'm charging the battery but I think I have to swap it... the day before was working like a charm
Battery problem update
Can't link to the actual bulletin, but, the summary is as follows (Google it if you need more it's on a few Ford Forums).
SSM 49795 - May 12, 2021 - Various 2018-2021 Ford And Lincoln Vehicles - Unable To Perform Remote CommandsVia The FordPass/LincolnWay App - Erroneous Deep Sleep Message
Some 2018-2021 Ford and Lincoln vehicles may not be able to perform remote commands via the FordPass/LincolnWay App due to an erroneous deep sleep message. If the vehicle has been driven within 14 days and the battery state of charge is above 9.5 volts when the deep sleep message set, this is an erroneous message. Starting and running the vehicle will clear the message and allow the remote commands to function again. Inform customers that engineering is currently working on a solution for this condition that will be released via an over the air (OTA) update that is expected in June 2021. Replacement or reprogramming of the telematics control unit (TCU)/gateway module (GWM) will not resolve this condition. Monitor OASIS for additional information and schedule service appointments for customers once the repair becomes available.
END SSM
It was originally thought it was the Rombat battery draining that caused it, but, it happens whatever the make of battery on some vehicles.

Did the stop/start work straight away when you next drove after toggling the setting, or did you have to drive a bit further?Stoopo wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 11:46 amYes they flashed every module update availability evidently. I guess the 48v just ran flat whilst in their care. It was driven back and used Friday. Last night I travelled across York in Sport to try and get some charge in it. Nothing seemed to trigger it.Chocky wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 11:05 amGive it a few more drives and see if it starts working. What work was performed? Any modules flashed?Stoopo wrote: ↑Sat Mar 05, 2022 6:50 pm Interesting that the stop start has been mentioned because mine was looked at on Thursday and since I got it back the stop start hasn’t worked. I’ve even tried sport mode tonight and the 48v battery is definitely charging and going blue when needed but the stop start hasn’t engaged at all.
I’ve checked the at it’s switched on on the menu and it is. Maybe tomorrow I’ll check the back screens to see it it’s been disengaged.
When I got to the destination I toggled it off and back on the setting and lo and behold it started working on the way home.
I’ve never had it take that long to charge.
My stop/start packed up a couple of days ago and hasn't come back to life yet. I've never had this problem before - is it fairly normal for this to happen from time to time? The regenerative charging and electric boost are both working ok. I'll give it a bit longer before assuming that there's a problem.

mmmm the problem is due to the battery, there's a slot of fallen batteries for FORD PUMA. my wife use her puma every day, so it's a battery problem.
If it was purely a battery problem I doubt it would affect different manufacturers across different models, not just Puma.Marcusfofo wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 8:28 am mmmm the problem is due to the battery, there's a slot of fallen batteries for FORD PUMA. my wife use her puma every day, so it's a battery problem.

it's a known problem about FORD PUMA batteries. In italy it's liek that unfortunatelySparks wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 9:16 amIf it was purely a battery problem I doubt it would affect different manufacturers across different models, not just Puma.Marcusfofo wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 8:28 am mmmm the problem is due to the battery, there's a slot of fallen batteries for FORD PUMA. my wife use her puma every day, so it's a battery problem.
If you google it you will find that it's a Ford problem, so, yes, the Puma is affected as is the Focus, Kuga, Fiesta, Mach-E and many American models. All with different batteries. No doubt in Italy other Fords have the same problems.Marcusfofo wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 10:13 amit's a known problem about FORD PUMA batteries.

Glad to hear it's working ok now.
My stop/start has also started working again thankfully.
