Are these issues only appearing in 2012 F-150 models? Sync works great in my 2011. It also worked great in my 2010 Sport Trac.

Factory defaults on the phone or SYNC?

You guys should switch to US Cellular. No restocking fee within 30 days, plus you only sign one contract then you never have to sign another one.

BTW, Pam Bondi is hot

How The Florida Lemon Law Works

The Lemon Law covers defects or conditions that substantially impair the use, value or safety of a new or demonstrator vehicle (these are called "nonconformities"). These defects must be first reported to the manufacturer or its authorized service agent (usually, this is the dealer) during the "Lemon Law Rights Period," which is the first 24 months after the date of delivery of the motor vehicle to the consumer. If the manufacturer fails to conform the vehicle to the warranty after a reasonable number of attempts to repair these defects, the law requires the manufacturer to buy back the defective vehicle and give the consumer a purchase price refund or a replacement vehicle. The law does not cover defects that result from accident, neglect, abuse, modification or alteration by persons other than the manufacturer or its authorized service agent. DO NOT DELAY in reporting a problem as this may cost valuable time and protection.
Consumers should KEEP RECORDS of all repairs and maintenance. A written repair order should be obtained from the service agent (dealer) for each examination or repair under the warranty. The consumer should note the date the vehicle was taken in for repair and date he or she was notified that work was completed. Odometer mileage when the vehicle was taken to the shop and when it was picked up after repair should also be noted. Consumers should keep all receipts or invoices for payment of expenses related to the purchase/lease of the vehicle and to any repair.
If the vehicle has been back to the service agent for repair of the same recurring problem at least three times, the consumer must give written notification by certified, registered or express mail, to the manufacturer (not the dealer) to afford a final opportunity to repair the vehicle.

That's what I'd suggest. Delete your phone from SYNC, reset SYNC to factory defaults, then pair your phone again with SYNC. This worked when SYNC in my wife's car decided to barf. Only had to do it one, been good now for several months.

They claimed they tried other phones and could get them to work. I don't want to buy another phone, this one cost $200 bucks. So what do I do? Guess I could go to the Verizon store where I bought the phone and see if they could make it work.
Went to Verizon store where I bought phone. A guy came out to my truck, spent 15 minutes and got my phone working. So the Ford Dealer couldn't get it to work but Verizon did.
