Hello all. Two issues I have been having with my 2019:

• when its cold, feels like and sounds like a rubbing sound from front driver side tire or even in steering column. Usually when slowing down below 20 mph but not when using brakes. Took to dealer three times and no help (also happened on my 2016)
• SYNC just did automatic update and now my wipers speed up intermittently when raining, so frustrating

 

Hello! Please send a private message to us with your VIN and the name & location of your Ford dealership, along with some more details about your situation. I'd be happy to look into this for you. Thanks!

 

Grinding noises are typically related to a bad IWE or wheel bearing or failed front diff.

Wipers, I can't speak to as I don't use that feature -but sounds as if the wiper speed is related to the sensed moisture, therefore as the rain increases, so should the wipers.
I have to assume this is true because you didn't indicate if intermittent means even if it's a light sprinkle.

 

You can turn the rain sensing wipers off if you want, and just use wiper speeds manually as we always have. It's in the settings screen and has an off/on check box.*

*I am assuming you have rain sense on, and since the truck is "new to you" you just haven't' found that option yet. If you have that set to "off" and it's still doing this, I am sure you ARE frustrated, and rightfully so.

 

thanks for the response. I’ll check that out. Much appreciated. As for the running noise. Any insight that. It’s not grinding.

 

No sir, my truck is "new to me" as well, and I haven't had that issue...yet. Hope you get it figured out soon.

 

Exactly, rain sensing wipers are not related to Sync.

Unless I have not figured it out, when rain sensing wipers are enabled, the speeds on the wiper stick do not do anything. Just off and about 6 settings for auto on. If you turn off rain sensing then it works like any other car with manual wipers.
You can turn it on/off in the IPC (instrument cluster) not in the Sync settings.
