21 powerboost platinum w 7.4 kw generator option . Ground fault since day 1 . If ever damp or moist it faults and wont reset. Ford says OTA for software by april .. has anyone had one of the recent updates help this if you have had same issue.

Approaching 6 mos of ownership. Disapointed because i cannot invest anything in this truck if generator cannot be fixed . Have seen posts of some who had new hardware or apim changed . All i have been told is OTA will be coming .

Sorry to hear about this and wish I had some sort of answer for you. :mad:

Hopefully the OTA comes out soon and fixes your ProPower. I would be really bummed if we had your problem.

Hopefully your state has a lemon law. If so, it might be worth documenting everything, including verbal conversations with the dealer and Ford - just in case the OTA is delayed or doesn't fix this problem.

OK, good. Hopefully this is resolved soon and you can benefit from the PPoB as intended!

I have the same issue.

I've attempted to turn off ProPower permanently using the hard buttons and the Sync menu so as to avoid the ground fault messages, but it automatically restarts with every ignition cycle.

Im hoping there is reality that a software update can fix this . Given how long waits threre are for new vehicles i dont want to start again . Waited almost 6 mos for mine . Hope it can be fixed but dealer had no clue whatsoever. They wouldnt replace any connections or even really look at anything until the software shows up . Going on 6 months

Yes. Had dialog. Basically i was advised stay in touch w dealership and wait. 6 mos and counting . When i spoke with customer service line they said no compensation discussion until after software update . If this generator doesn't get fixed .this is my last ford ever.
