I'll have to try this. Mine just did this again yesterday.

I found that if I turn the car off first, then turn off the radio it didn't come back on upon a restart. I haven't noticed it doing it in a long time though, no matter what I do. I believe some recent updates may have cleared the issue.

As stated, almost every single time I start my 22 ST when it has been sitting for a while I get a quick double chime sound. There are no messages anywhere on the screens behind the steering wheel or the middle information display. I did get the battery low warning and low power warning in my app about 4 months ago, and they replaced the AGM battery. Pretty sure it's not that as the auto stop/start is working, which was one of the first things that quit when the battery was going bad. I thought about the battery in my key fob, but on my last vehicle, a 17 Fusion, it gave me a visible warning. Still, I took the battery out and tested it and it came up with 3.02 volts, and it is a 3-volt battery, so I think that is good. Just odd there would be this chime with no information displayed. I did a Google search and see some others have had the same issue with no solutions.

The other problem with this 25 Nautilus is that the tow package is only class I. I think that is only 1,500 pounds, while the Edge had Class II up to 3,500 pounds. I like the size of the Edge and the towing, so I guess I will have to get something not Ford next as they have cut out all the vehicles I would want. Nothing but Fords since the 70s.

Yes, a 4 cylinder in a car that size is a deal breaker for me. If only they had an ST model!

I have a 22 ST and haven't had this happen either.

Yes, a lot of that is different than the vehicles we had in the 70s. I also get that if you are pulling a trailer it should be done more often. In the old days there was just a transmission and rear differential, now there is a third item, a PTU? Obviously I haven't done this kind of maintenance myself in decades because I don't keep the cars long enough.

I get it, but wow, I just can't imagine changing the transmission fluid in a 2-year-old car. I mean, I always do the oil changes a bit before recommended, but I have to say that I've been driving since the 70s and only ever changed transmission fluid on a vehicle once on one I bought used with and unknown service record. I never keep anything more than 100,000 miles and knock on wood, never have had a transmission issue. Are there 3 things you are changing? I thought transmission and PTU were the same thing. Are you changing rear differential at 2-year intervals as well?

That's great information. I guess I'm confused though how in any way a 22 ST (I have one with 20,200 miles) would require changing at just 2 years.

I'm getting the adapter soon and already have the FORScan software. Does anyone know if the turn signal volume is modifiable? I have a 22ST and I think it is ridiculously loud. Conversely, my fiance has a 23 Escape PHEV and it so low the only way you can hear it is if you are stopped with no radio on, and it is barely perceptable.

Is it only happening when you stop at a traffic light? If so, the auto start/stop feature to conserve gas is initiating, and that slows the blower way down, and it should start blowing hard when you start moving. If that's not it, sounds like a climate control or some sort of damper issue with the system. Should be covered under warranty.

I'm pretty sure this is normal behavior. I have a 22 ST. If I have the A/C on and the stop/start cuts off the engine at a light, I can hear the main blower fans slow down and the cooled seat noise disappear as well. Otherwise, it would pull too much load off of the 12 volt battery. This only lasts up to at most 30 seconds for me, as I will hear the engine come back on and all blowers go back up if I sit at the light very long. I'm in Phoenix and it has been over 110 degrees recently, and in most cases the start/stop feature doesn't even engage in that heat because I'm sure there are programming parameters such as ambient temperature and what you have it set on in the car. I don't think anything is wrong with yours. I'm assuming all your fans come back on to what they were set for if you leave the controls alone and press the accelerator and the engine starts?

Haz, I have a question for you on this. How do the versions listed in the pdf document relate to the Power-up versions? I know this is the Edge forum, but you have been so much help on my Edge questions, I thought you might know about the same issue for an Escape. My wife has a 23 Escape plug in hybrid. When I check for updates, it says there aren't any, but shows Power-up version 4.2.2 with an exclamation mark and the wording "Not Completed." I've tried to update many times, as well as setting the auto update times, but no change. Now the odd issue is that when I check the "About Sync" screen it shows the Software Version is 23291, which is actually a higher version number that shows in the pdf in the link you attached, which is 23223. I thought Ford kept the pdf updated in the link, but evidently, this Escape has a higher version than shown on the chart, yet shows an incomplete update. So how does Power-up 4.2.2 compare to Software Version 23291, or are they completely unrelated? Thanks! Dave

They eliminated the ability to change the color starting in 22 or maybe 21. I had a 17 Fusion that I could pick about 8 different colors. For me though, they did recently fix the original problem for which I started this thread, and the Ambient Lighting setting seems to be staying on.

My 22ST has Sync Power Up version 4.2.4. My car is in the garage at the house most of the time and I know it connects to my wifi when I get in my driveway. I remember the last update was at least a couple of months ago. If you connect to your home wifi, you can go to the settings, I think software updates, and when I do that it manually checks for updates each time.
