today and two other times I have been unable to accelerate beyond 35mph, getting the message 'brakes applied power reduced'. has anyone else seen this message? one other issues we have encounters. we were able to pair both of our phones, a Samsung galaxy s8+ and a Samsung galaxy note 8. however we are unable to sync the note 8. no issues with the s8+.

found a usb charging cable with a +sign on the phone plug in and now a can use android auto. more convenient that a gps, but my wife wants to keep it as a back up. we have just updated our tomtom too.
found a response on the ford f-150 forum. I had my foot on both the brake and accelerator at the same time! pedals close, my 12 quadruple e shoes ha ha!

I can relate to that when driving small vehicles.

Oh my. 🤦
That is great news, Doug. We all worry that transportation automation doesn't work as expected (think Boeing max 737).
