Ford Escape Equipment Safety Report | June 14, 2011
Reported on June 14, 2011
| ON THE SAME DAY SIRIUS SATELLITE SHUT DOWN MY FREE RADIO SUBSCRIPTION I LOST THE ABILITY TO DIAL BY VOICE COMMAND FROM THE PHONE-BOOK AND RECEIVED THIS VERBAL ERROR MESSAGE: THE REQUESTED CONTACT IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE IN THE PHONE BOOK . TRIED DELETING THE PHONE-BOOK , THEN THE PHONE AND DEVICE, DID A NEW RE-PAIRING TO THE SAME RESULT. ANY INCOMING CALLS DISPLAY THE PROPER PHONE NAME AND I CAN DIAL BY GIVING THE NUMBER, WHICH IS DIFFICULT WHEN SO MANY OF MY CONTACTS HAVE THREE NUMBERS AND IT IS ILLEGAL IN MY PROVINCE (CANADA) TO HOLD A CELL PHONE WHILE DRIVING AND YOU MUST USE BLUETOOTH. THIS INABILITY TO DIAL FROM THE PHONE-BOOK ADDS MORE OF A DISTRACTION AS YOU HAVE TO TRY TO COME UP WITH NUMBERS INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING A CONTACT NAME. A GOOGLE SEARCH TURNS THIS UP TO BE A NEWER, COMMON PROBLEM TO WHICH NOBODY HAS POSTED A DEFINITIVE FIX. AM GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE TO THE DEALER AND SEE IF THEY CAN FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR | |
