Ratings and reviews

I have a 2019 EcoSport with Sync3, and after some updates, tweaks, and driving a car that did not have anything like it, FordPass is an exceptional driving companion. I am can switch between map software, listen to books, music, or just just the satellite radio play. I appreciate the heads up for tire pressure, oil changes and that scary engine oil pressure issue from the recall. I wish I had more useful mobile apps when only connected by BT.

The tracking no longer works well. That's really the only good use for this app. Now it just refuses to use real time. It tells me where my car was 18 minutes ago, or 30 minutes ago. That's useless. it was always accurate before they decided to update it. I was hoping it would start working right again, but no such luck so far. It's been awhile. 😒

Update 1/2025. Way better. Lots of improvements. Now works all the time and opens faster. Shows the fuel % and range at the top of the app, super useful. Also provides tire pressure info, oil change info, etc. Very nice app now! Old review: Finicky at best. Sometimes works, sometimes not. Now opens up with a "not responding" warning that usually goes away. The remote start sometimes takes a dozen tries to get the car to start, and at that point I can just be in the car to start it.
