Ford GT Electrical Malfunction

I'm experiencing some odd issues with my 2023 Ford GT, gasoline version, with about 122400 km on the clock. Recently, I've been getting a general electrical malfunction, and the navigation system is completely dead. The error memory also has errors stored. I suspect it might be faulty vehicle software. Has anyone else run into anything like this?

Summary of the thread

A 2023 Ford GT owner reported experiencing a general electrical malfunction and a non-functional navigation system, suspecting faulty vehicle software as the cause. Another individual shared a similar past experience with a different car, suggesting that recalibration of the control unit might resolve the issue. The owner confirmed that recalibration of the ECU at a workshop indeed fixed the problem.

Sounds frustrating. I had something similar happen with my old BMW a few years back. The whole system went haywire. Was the programming of the control unit implausible, like a bad flash or something?

Implausible programming, you say? How did you figure that out? I'm not sure what caused it, but the symptoms seem to point to something software-related. Did your car throw any specific codes?

Well, after troubleshooting for a while, the mechanic told me that the car needed a recalibration, which fixed all the problems. I would definitely say that you should go to the workshop; it will probably be best if the problem is what I had.

Thanks for the insight! I took it to the workshop, and you were spot on. It was indeed a programming issue with the ECU. Recalibration of the control unit resolved it. The repair cost was 240€. Appreciate the help!
