Ecosport Software Malfunction

Having a software issue with my 2017 Ford Ecosport gasoline, currently at 72010 km. Error in memory, electrical issues, and navigation not working. Diagnostics suggest control unit programming is off. Anyone seen this, maybe a software bug or needing recalibration?

Ecosport owner here... Sounds familiar. Did it start with just the navigation system acting up, then spread to other electricals? Wondering if it's the same gremlin I had.

The navigation system was the first sign. What 'gremlin' did you have? What electrical issues came up, and were there any error codes?

Yeah, nav went wonky first. Then the parking sensors started throwing a fit and the interior lights flickered randomly. No specific codes I remember, just a general electrical fuss. Bit the bullet and took it to the workshop. They sorted it out.

Sounds like a trip to the workshop is unavoidable. Given the control unit programming is likely the cause, and the repair will be around 240€ for recalibration, I'll book an appointment. Thanks for the help.
