Failure Date: 04/29/2013

Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving 20 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the custom software routine was not reading the correct set of characters, and was not able to identify a bcm. As a result, an electrical short developed and the body control module would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact was then informed of a recall for the failure under NHTSA campaign number: 11v128000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was notified but stated that the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure and current mileage was 47,000. Kmj.

Failure Date: 02/27/2012

I purchased a new Ford 2011 Ford Edge in July of 2010 and was extremely pleased with the performance of the car and the sync system. As the end of the year neared, the sync system started acting very erratic, bluetooth disconnecting, navigation sd card failure, maps extremely slow to load and when the car was shutoff the sync did not power down. On then next power up, it would disable bluetooth and not allow navigation system to load. There was a new software update available Feb 2012 that according to the description would solve all these issues. After finally getting it to load on a usb stick from the sync site after multiple tries, I got it done. Also contacted for sync service and they said there are known issues with the download from the sync site. Software was loaded sucessfully in the car and alas, it seemed all my problems were cured. . . . For about 2 days and now the navigation system continues to try loading and then displays sd card fault, really handy when you use this for work. I've been in contact with Ford and they admit there is a software bug in the last release. . . Working for an electronics company, I would say there wasn't much validation done. They said it would be a month before a fix is in place and will mail everyone new sd cards. What a joke! maybe Ford should call apple instead of microsoft.

Failure Date: 01/26/2012

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Edge. The contact stated the vehicle was equipped with a sync system which controlled the satellite radio, gps navigation, touch screen feature and other functions. While driving various speeds the satellite radio, gps navigation and touch screen feature would not operate. There were also other functions which would not operate within the sync system. The failures were sporadic and a distraction when driving. The voice command would continuously activate whenever the vehicle was in operation which became annoying. There was a recall related to the defect under NHTSA campaign id number 11v128000 (electrical system: software). The dealer stated the part was not currently being produced and they were unable to provide any additional information regarding the arrival date for the recall part. The technician advised the contact to disconnect the battery whenever a failure occurred within the sync system and then reconnect after waiting five minutes. The vehicle was been taken to an authorized dealer three times for the similar defect. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The contact expressed concern of a potential safety hazard. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000. The VIN was unavailable.

Failure Date: 06/15/2011

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while parked the contact noticed the sync technology on the touch screen was not functioning properly affecting the air conditioner, radio, cell phone sync, and navigation system. The contact stated he was constantly distracted and looking away from the road to cancel or switch functions on the screen. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing fourteen different times. The technician performed various software updates and replaced the computer three different times but the failure continued. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 200.

I purchased my 2011 Ford Edge in December of 2010 and have not had a day when there hasn't been a problem with with either the sync or sirius system. I have had my auto serviced six separate times and still have issues. Among these six visits, four involved either recalls or 'full flash reprograms,' in addition to the major software update with the usb Ford sent out. Currently my radio suddenly switches bands, or presets malfunction, and my radio won't turn off without a complicated series of screen adjustments. Also when this happens my memory seat function is disabled and no longer works. I consider these problems not merely cosmetic, but functional safety issues since the service department cannot figure out how the radio/sync issues affect the memory seat function and thus could ultimately affect a more critical auto function and these occur while driving which has caused me momentary disorientation.

Failure Date: 01/26/2011

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Edge. While driving approximately 55 mph, the entire dashboard screen and gps display screen failed. During the failure, the both screens displayed a message stating that the system was rebooting. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where a software update was installed. The failure continued to recur intermittently whether the vehicle was in motion or at a complete stop. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure mileage was 10 and the current mileage was 1,050. Updated 03/10/bf.

What is FORScan?

FORScan is a software scanner for Ford, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles, designed to work over ELM327 and J2534 Pass-Thru compatible adapters

There are many OBD2 scanners, but does the FORScan somehow differ? Yes, because it is designed especially for Ford, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. So supports specific features of the manufacturer protocols, making the FORScan more powerful in work with these models than any regular OBD2 scanner.

For example, FORScan can detect modules which are not visible for regular OBD2 scanners, can show you trouble codes which are never displayed by OBD2 scanners, can show you PIDs which are not supported by any OBD2 scanner, run specific tests and service procedures. In other words, FORScan can do things that regular OBD2 scanners can not do.

Main features

  • Detect vehicle on-board network configuration
  • Read and reset Diagnostic Trouble Codes from all modules (see list of supported modules)
  • Reading of modules' sensors' data
  • Run test diagnostic procedures (not supported in FORScan Lite yet)
  • Run service procedures (not supported in FORScan Lite yet)

    Supported vehicles:

    All Ford, Mazda, Lincoln, Mercury vehicles that can be addressed by supported adapters. It is 99% of models after 2000 and around 92% of models after 1996 (the year when OBD2 became a standart in USA).

    Supported adapters :

  • ELM327-compatible (fully compatible with original ELM327, such as VeePeak, please also see important note below)
  • J2534 Pass-Thru
  • CANtieCAR (in 'FORScan' mode)
  • OBDLink SX/LX/MX (STN chip)
  • ELS27 (STN1170/2170)

    Important note: almost all of adapters sold under 'ELM327' label are 'clones' (use not original ELM327 chip). In past few years 80% of them are 'bad' clones, and unfortunately this ratio grows. 'Bad' clones are not fully compatible with original ELM327 and will not work with FORScan. FORScan uses service level protocols and requires adapters that are fully compatible with original ELM327. Other software that uses standard OBDII protocol usually work with these adapters, so people usually don't understand the problem. The problem is that service protocols are more complex than regular OBDII ones and this is why it is physically impossible to make FORScan work using these devices. We recommend to obtain either original white-label adapters listed above (Scantool OBDLink, ELS27), or look for ELM327 marked as 'Ford Mazda FORScan' etc compatible - these are usually 'good' clones equipped with HS/MS CAN switch. But 'good' clones may have other problems (for example, USB adapters cannot work faster than on 38400 bps, CAN bus errors etc).
