I am constantly shown "deep sleep" to conserve the battery in my FORD app on my phone. I also do not have interior lights when I open the door or unlock the vehicle after sitting several hours or overnight. I have the vehicle back to the dealer multiple times to resolve this issue and am currently waiting on a BCM replacement to be completed. There were no warning lamps or messages on the truck itself only through the FORD application and the physical lack of interior lights when opening or unlocking the vehicle.

Vehicle enters "Deep Sleep" mode NEARY EVERY DAY and all 12 volt systems such as lighting are not useable. Vehicle will NOT START sometimes when Deep Sleep mode occurs. No matter how much we charge the 12v battery, this deep sleep issue will return within 1 day. Dealer has not fixed this issue after "supposedly" checking it out on a few visits to Livermore Ford Dealership. It has now been over 2 1/2 years of this problem with no fix.

Headlights will sometimes not turn off even if the vehicle is completely shut down. Headlights will remain on and I'm concerned the battery will drain. It happened immediately after taking delivery but it is intermittent. I have since found that other models of Ford have a service bulletin for the same part in different models including Mach-E (SSM 50869) and F-150 (SSM 51058). The same SSM should also apply to 2022 Ford Mavericks like mine.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
