Trip MPG keeps reseting all by itself

[TexasTruck]

Hi,

At every fill up, without fail, I reset the Trip 1 settings to 0, I never forget. I've been doing it since the olden days when we had analog meters and you could use a drill motor to roll the milage back Then every once in a while, I'll switch the display from digital speedo to Trip 1 to look. The last three fill ups, I noticed the MPG and trip miles was really low

This case, I fill up about every two weeks (WFH) and according to the Trip 1, the engine has been running 11 hours and 47 minutes, I drove 31.5 miles, got 1.8 miles per gallon, and 247 miles to empty. There is no way I drove 11+ hours on one tank of gas

So something ain't right!

It has something to do with leaving the drivers door open too long. Mine has done it since day one and one time I was vacuuming out the cabin and noticed it was at everything had reset, so about a week later I intentionally left the door open for an hour, went out and check and of course everything was reset back to 0

Why in the absolute hell would they design it to do this??? This has to be a bug...

Google Ford SSM 51972. Looks like ford finally acknowledged it’s a bug. Call your dealer ASAP I’m calling mine tomorrow before my bumper to bumper expires. Thank God I dove into TSBs tonight out of boredom
