Alright everyone just left the ford dealership. THERE IS NOW AN official SSM for the compass problem. It involves a update for the TCU module it takes a long time. TCU = telematics control unit

Really? I just got an OTA update, it seems to been working a lot better now for me. From like working 1 out of 10 times to 50/ 50 now. Still having the trans sensor issue though

My dash read "OK" this morning for a few seconds. That has not ever happened. My dash letters indicate one direction but the compass read N almost always

Received ota update almost three weeks ago, 1.4.0 if I remember correctly. Compass display in the instrument cluster has been working correctly since the update. It had never worked more than maybe 10 percent of the time in the almost six months I’ve had the truck. However, the compass in the center display has been stuck on “N”. Center display compass used to work occasionally whenever the compass in instrument cluster worked.
Transmission temp gauge still not working as it should, reads cold until vehicle been has restarted then reads normal.

Having the exact same issue main big screen always has compass stuck on north after I did the update. Only way to get this solved is everyone needs to contact there dealership and have those dealerships contact the Ford hotline to report the problem

for the past couple of weeks , just out of the blue, my compass has been working perfect everytime. (Knock on wood)

Never took it to the dealer or had WiFi updates immediately before.

transmission temp also seems to b working as well.

So in August I got an OTA update, the compass on the dash seems to be working 90-95% of the time. However, it seems like the compass on Sync is now 100% frozen. Anyone else run into this?

about a month ago, I got an update and my dash compass has worked 100% of the time since. My sync compass did not work for at least 2 weeks after that. I tried the calibration process (driving in circles in the parking lot) and it did nothing. Then a couple weeks ago my sync compass just started working. I have been using android auto a lot so my screen is hardly on that main sync screen anymore with the compass but every time over the last couple weeks that I have gone back to that screen, the sync compass is working. I don't believe I have ever seen an issue with my trans gauge so I can't speak to that issue.
