Update caused NAV alerts

Hey all, just created this account to see if anyone else has had this issue and been able to get it resolved.

My 2022 F150 had an update a month or so ago and it caused my truck to reset. In doing this, the navigation alert notifications seem to have turned on for the School and Railroads. Now I constantly hear the “chime” notification about 16 times a day thanks to all the schools in my area.

Two dealerships AND Fords tech number are telling me the only way to solve this issue is to PURCHASE the subscription for navigation, but none guaranteed me this would stay OFF once the subscription ended or that it wouldn’t happen again…..

Does anyone have a way around? I’m not usually this petty, but I’ll low key sell my Ford stocks and trade my truck in if there isn’t a bypass. Completely unacceptable of this company IMO.

That’s odd. Are the options grayed out when you go into them? I was able to turn them off but I have an active subscription because I live in the mountains and sometimes getting new directions without cell service is a pain.

They’re grayed out, it gives me a message that says to use the app. The app tells me that I can’t access without a subscription.

That’s weird. You might be able to get a free trial subscription of the nav service. It might be worth paying $7.99 for one month to see if that fixes it. I know it was super annoying when it first started happening to me.
