In early July i received an OTA update for my truck (STX 2.7L Crew Cab) and the next day i started receiving vehicle alerts about Blind Spot Detection and about a half dozen other things, i shut the truck off let it sit for 5 minutes and everything came back normal with no issues. Fast forward until today. I receive another OTA update last night drive the vehicle a few miles today and it starts ringing off the same vehicle alerts as last time plus even more. I feel my steering wheel getting harder to move so i pull over and shut the car off, let it sit for 5 minutes and this time it would not turn back on. Had to get it towed to the dealer, which was a pain because i couldn't put the truck in neutral until googling and figuring out how to manually force it into neutral. So here i am sitting here writing this with a Camry in my driveway instead of a the expensive truck i purchased. This is my first ford and has me 2nd guessing if i made the right decision.

Sorry to hear about that! Just in case I need it someday…how did you force it into neutral?

That sucks, hope things get worked out. Sometimes it's just the luck of the draw. You can Google any vehicle from any year and you'll find complaints and issues. I'm just glad cars/trucks have warranties.

*Update* Day 26 of the dealer having my truck. Its finally fixed. It was a faulty gateway module that was not allowing the truck to shift in gear. According to them they part was backordered from Ford until the 19th of August.
