Woke up to a notification of someone requesting access?

This is very odd. It was at 10:41pm (when I am well asleep). Does anyone know what is going on here? I don't know an Andrew.

We have the same truck set up and color. Nice, still waiting on my DCS Elite coil overs from BDS.

That’s weird on the app, Does the phone give you anymore info?

 

[gvuksinick]

Not really, it just says the same thing and then asks if you want to accept or decline. I declined of course, but it worries me because they can locate and start my vehicle, correct?

I really like your truck, you have good taste! Mine is a Rough Country with the Vertex Coilovers.

Maybe someone just got their VIN wrong trying to setup their truck?

If you decline then they cannot do anything to your truck. If you accept then they can view location and lock, unlock and remote start your truck

Yeah decline that, like @hotrodmex said they could have just entered the wrong vin, or they could be familiar with Ford pass and have gotten your vin off your vehicle and did that just to have access. Me personally that would not go well, I'd canvas everyone in a 2 mile radius, when I did finally locate the individual if it was for nefarious reasons I promise they wouldn't ever consider anything like that again.

Did you buy it used? I had access to my last truck for almost a year on the ford pass app. I totally forgot to wipe it clean before I traded it in and the dealership must not have either. New owner must not have known about the app or cared.

Seems like a good reason not to post your sticker online for anyone to view. Someone 3000 miles away could be trying to get access just to play games or like mentioned, someone entering the wrong VIN.

yeah thats what I am hoping.

They seem solid for now, my wife still thinks the ride is bumpy though, although she daily drivers a volvo xc90 with air suspension.

I technically bought it used because they dealer bought it from ken garff ford new but put the lift on after. It had 67 miles on it when I purchased it. I have been through the dash console to make sure no other profiles were connected.

My wife got the same notification around the same time, roughly 940CST, wondering if there was a hack

That is what I thought was possibly happening. I haven't seen anything since I declined.
