2023 Corsair Pet Peeves

[olderbudweiser]

Doesn’t sound right, if you buckle up it should sense that, and turn off, like every other car in this country! I wonder if it could be addressed in the CAN bus with Forscan!?

I know friends of mine have completely changed all the chimes and notifications on Ford F-series trucks through the CAN bus system. I found this procedure for the F150
Turn ignition on (engine off), wait for airbag light to go off, plug and unplug seat belt 4 times in a row, seat belt light will start to flash, plug and unplug seat belt one more time. Goodbye annoying seat belt chime that goes off whenever the wheels are turning. I Don’t think this would work on a Corsair, or turn on the dashboard, but ya never know!?

Also, I found out on the internet that there was a Lincon recall/update, if you have it done the seatbelt delet procedure doesn’t work. Furthermore, it states there is a chime delete procedure in the owners manual.

My wife and I intend to purchase a 2023-24 hybrid, when we do, I will definitely be all over this!

No argument, but the satay folks government mandate things we can override sometimes, think Ford products having a procedure in the manual to turn seatbelt chimes off totally for each seat passenger.

I hear ya, but someone posted on this forum that it’s not illegal to delete a seatbelt chime. I can’t confirm this, especially in this world of disinformation!

I was a mechanic, (now they call’em technicians), back in the early 80’s, until I switched professions in the early 90’s. Back then I would stumble across issues and solutions that would always surprised me, on both ends of the spectrum, so you never know what’s possible until you find the right person who actually knows, and I doubt that would be from a service writer!

Stopping the chime is not illegal. If it was Ford would not have the procedure in the owners manual. I believe your dash still lights up, not sure, but no chimes.

Here are some of my pet peeves about my new Corsair. The first 4 especially.

1. You cannot have lane centering without adaptive cruise control/Bluecruise activated. This should be fixed. Always-on Lane Centering should be available like it is in other car manufacturer models. Incredibly there is a button for Lane Keep always but not Lane Centering.

2. The Lane Keep button (physical button) is at the end of the stick which controls the light options. Terrible non-intuitive location. Worse it can be accidently bumped which turns off not only Lane Keep, but Lane Centering, and Bluecruise. If your adaptive cruise control or Bluecruise is not working then you should check to see if the Lane Keep button has been bumped to off.

3. The seat belt alert on the dashboard obscures what driving mode you want to select. Why does the seat belt icon persist so long after all the seat belts are fastened? The seat belt icon displays much too long. It should be smaller in size and go away when all the seat belts are fastened.

4. When Hands-free is activated, the graphic then obscures the navigation indicator in the Heads-up Display.

5. The navigation system does not communicate with Bluecruise at all.

6. There is not a good reliable privacy screen for the cargo area which I could find. The problem seems to be with seats which lean, move, etc. Surely there is a way to have a privacy screen independent of the rear seats.

7. The default on the Sync display seems to always default to displaying my phone contacts. I don’t necessary want my passengers to see my phone list. I can always call via Siri if needed.

#2 seat belt alert certainly is annoying but I think the plausible guess us that the long duration alert is in lieu of logic to try to determine belt us actually on use. Simply buckled does not prove use.

Not positive but I believe the seatbelt light timing is a government thing. Seems there was a delivery holdup on some Lincolns as the light would not stay on for the required 5 seconds. Needed a software update.

It can't be a government thing because I have a 2022 Chevrolet Corvette and a 2022 Audi TT, and neither one of them do this. I'm guessing it's a result of a lawsuit, or some corporate lawyer's recommendation. But there is no reason in the world that once you buckle all passengers, that it shouldn't go off automatically.

Thank you for the URL! I just created an account and submitted the innovation idea to the Ford New Ideas website. I truly hope they implement it sooner rather than later.

Has anyone complained or made a suggestion to ford/Lincon?

Yes

One feature I discovered that is different on the 2024 model is that the LKA functions independently of the adaptive cruise.
I can turn LKA on and off without the adaptive cruise or cruise control on.
I've also seen in settings you can disable adaptive cruise control and it will function as normal cruise control.

LKA is not lane centering. And if you accidentally turn off LKA you disable lane centering, adaptive cruise control and bluecruise until you turn it back on. Other manufacturers allow lane centering to be always on independent of other functions as a safety feature (why wouldn't you?). And yes, in the infotainment controls you can turn off adaptive cruise control and turn on regular cruise control but why would you?

It isn't any different than the 2023's.

#6 You dont have the cargo tray? You can buy it from a junk yard in a totaled vehicle OR get it from the Ford dealer. It is independent of the seats. You can leave it up, but fold down the seats. I had a Standard '23 as a loaner. The best thing to me was the steering wheel grip felt better. That is all.

Along with the annoying seat belt "reminder", I would like to add the front seat...it goes back farther than necessary to allow an easier entrance and exit. If you are not tall, it is hard to reach the brake to start the car. Also, it goes back so far, that it interferes with lowering the back seat. The head rest gets caught on the back of the front seat. I had to remove the back seat headrest to make it go down. This was not a problem on the five previous Lincolns I have leased. The only solution is to turn off easy-exit feature, which is not desirable.

These sound like user operation issues. When easy exit is selected, simply press start to get the seat to move forward, hence the rear headrest can stay attached. The same press will move the seat forward before you enter.

Not the cargo tray, the privacy screen.
