Sometimes, if the person I am speaking to hangs up before me, the phone disconnects but the car still thinks it is connected and the only way to disconnect the car is to turn off the phone and then turn it back on again.... Is anyone else having this problem?? It is intermittent (some days are worse than others) and Ford reckon they can't see a fault.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is anyone else having this problem?? It is intermittent (some days are worse than others) and Ford reckon they can't see a fault.Thanks.Mate, I have this problem come up quite a bit. To save you turning off and restarting your car, just redial a number on your phone (just hit the dial button and before it even starts to ring it just hang up). So as long as the phone starts to try to connect to the number (before the connection is even established) you can hang it up and the car should go back to showing your favorite track or radio station.Let me know how it goes edit: also, I know it's a pain in the ass, but if you do happen to use the steering wheel control to hang up a conversation, this can happen - yet if you hang up from the handset itself, I've never encountered this issue. Something to ponder. I guess, if enough of us report this issue, then Ford may well have to move on it...
