Ford is not alone. Tesla phone key is notoriously temperamental. Carry a cardkey especially during roadtrips. And Tesla re-positioned the cardkey reader and is so lazy-cheap,- there is no label on the readers. Key fobs can be time-bombs. Mercedes key fobs are among the worst frequently mechanically failing and costing about $500 to replace. Oh and don't get started on the missing labels for the emergency door releases.
