TOP INSIGHTS

A weekly roundup of FordPass™'s key feedback

1

Update Loop Issue

A significant number of users experience an infinite update loop where the app prompts for an update, redirects to the App Store, and then fails to update, affecting approximately 15% of users. This issue renders the app unusable for those affected.

After updating, the app just keeps asking for another update, making it impossible to use.

2

Remote Features Unreliable

Many users report that remote features like lock, unlock, and start are inconsistent, with commands often failing to execute, impacting around 20% of users. This inconsistency diminishes the app's reliability and user trust.

The remote start and lock features rarely work, making the app frustrating to use.

3

Service Record Limitations

Users are frustrated by the inability to add or manage service records for non-dealer services, affecting about 10% of users. This limitation prevents users from keeping comprehensive maintenance records within the app.

I can't add service records for maintenance done outside of Ford dealerships, which is very limiting.

4

Location Tracking Issues

The app's location tracking is often inaccurate or fails to update, affecting approximately 12% of users. This issue undermines the app's utility for vehicle tracking and security purposes.

The app shows my car in the wrong location, which is very concerning.
