Description of the problem | Ford focus sync system. There is an extremely loud popping noise that spontaneously sound through the speaker even if the radio is off. It is deafening and extremely startling to the driver as well as any passengers. My 2 year old cries and covers his ears, so much that he has to wear hearing protection on our 45 minute commute back home. It'll even make the sound after i have shut the car off. Once off, opening the door is the only way that it stops. This is the ford sync media system. I have been told by ford that i need top replace the sync system because it is not covered by warranty. Might i aff thaty the are countless others out there that are having the same issue with the sync system as i am. I know this is not the usual "safety" issue however i'd challenge anyone to drive and have this issue jump out at them and still say in noooooo way that it effects the way the drive, especially the first time, nor a distraction. |
