JohnLouis Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 ,I am one VERY UNHAPPY owner at this point, I remember all the sales hype about the "Driving Experience". Every time I start the engine I have to go into the settings and turn this PAIN IN THE A** feature off. I do NO city driving and do not appreciate the hesitation in the go after stopping. If there are any savings in gas, it get's pissed away the first time I take off at a light. It is also it difficult to understand why after spending +$75K on a vehicle that weighs 2.5 tons and has a 400 HP engine that I, as the owner and customer, can not get Ford/Lincoln to change the default setting for this feature to OFF! I have also tried the 4 wire tail light tester - it did not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorid Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I was told you can shut it off in the advance settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnLouis Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Advanced settings?? where is that?? not on the SYNC panel. Do owners have access to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_dude_nepa Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I totally agree I too can’t stand that feature. I am getting better at remembering to shut it off as I start my trip. When I forget to I get quickly reminded by thinking I have engine problems when the shut down occurs then I promptly go to the dash and push that button to shut that ridiculous feature off. I sure hope making the default “OFF” is doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some workarounds to turn it off all the time but not from the vehicle menus. Give it time and stop obsessing about it and you'll forget about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Label Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 It's funny that one can get on here and complain but not figure out through the Owners Manual how to find the Advanced Settings in the vehicle. Not that it can be disabled that way. Dissable permanently using Excite Mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
