Twilight Zone incident driving FFH

[sobayimage]

I had a ‘Twilight Zone’ incident while driving my FFH yesterday. I suddenly heard a woman’s voice though I was alone in the car, the radio was off, the Sirius subscription had expired months ago and I don‘t have On Star. I understood only part of what she said. I comprehended the words “report and push OK”. I fully expected to see Rod Serling appear in the rear view mirror but he wasn’t there. Has anyone had a similar experience while driving a FFH?

I wonder when we are going to hear the first report of a major car accident caused when a man driving alone suddenly hears a loud woman's voice talking to him and completely freaks out.

 

Anyway I hate it when the Sync system suddenly and rudely yells at me about generating a vehicle health report. A nice little beep beforehand would at least be a warning.

Agree on that. It makes me startle more often than not. And as far as I know, it's a pointless inquiry. Ford should either set things up to automatically do the VHR or just get rid of it. Right now it's stupid and possibly dangerous.

I'm thinking that when Ford did the contract with Sync, they had an On Star capability in mind, for future applications.
