AndyG. Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Brand new 2022 F350 Tremor with 7.3L engine. Have been getting a random, single chime or “ding” while driving. Sometimes it happens every 10-15 seconds, sometimes every 10 minutes, sometimes not for days. No alerts on the dashboard. Nothing unusual with truck or engine. I’d welcome any suggestions. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kory04 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 probably a long shot, but my 2004 dodge ram does this very randomly. It does the chime when it senses a lamp out. on my dodge, a turn signal bulb can be "partially" burned out for several months before it finally burns out for good, so everytime the filament temporarily disconnects, the truck will chime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHoncho01 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I get dings occasionally in my 2019 Nautlius. I have found 2 reasons for it: I'm not gripping the steering wheel with both hands which sets off a ding. If I ignore this, the vehicle will flash a message on the driver display saying the vehicle will automatically slow down. I dared it to once and it after about 30 seconds the vehicle suddenly applied the brakes. The other reason is the navigation system detects when you are entering a school zone. The ding is to remind you to obey the lower speed limits and to watch for children in crosswalks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evanl Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 If my vehicle reminded me to put both hands on the steering wheel, it would be on its way to the lot. That would drive me crazy. I didn’t even realize that was a thing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2021 Corsair has a similar feature.....which can be defeated by turning the lane keeping off and turning off the "alert" and "aid" modes in the settings. https://owner.lincoln.com/support/how-tos/safety/driver-assist-technology/driving/how-to-use-and-program-lane-keeping-system.html Edited September 29, 2021 by twintornados 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can turn it off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rcpd34 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I get a random ding every once in a while on my 2021. I thought I was going crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
