Had a disturbing issue last night. Heading out, I got in the truck which I had remote started via the app, and was greeted by a number of messages on the dash. Everything from front collision alert system failure, service required, etc…plus a number of warning lights. Start button was just flashing green and truck would not go into a drive mode.
Turn off, open door, retry….same thing. Stuck!
Luckily i was home, so i got out of the truck, locked it and plugged in the charger for about a minute.
Retried and everything worked as normal. Hopefully just a software glitch, but should this happen to you give the above steps a try.

FYI mine is a 23 Lariat ER

I would have your 12v battery tested, I have seen others with similar issues where the 12v battery was going bad

Agreed. I had that exact problem when my 12v battery was low in my Mach E.

This is a valuable reason to keep the truck plugged in at home during cold weather.

Did it looks something like this?

YEP! Exactly. Crazy part of all of it...I had just driven the truck and left it for about an hour in the driveway. Plugged in it shall be from now on

What was the temperature?

Ford had to issue a Mustang Mach E PowerUp to improve the charging of the LVB from the HVB when not plugged in.

About 40 degrees so not super cold

Hopefully yours is a fluke.

Later next spring after I get my truck, I am going to have a nice sound system installed and one of the things I want to do is install (at least one) Yellow Top Optima deep cycle battery like i always like to have for my trucks. Do you guys think that replacing the factory 12 volt battery with a deep cycle 12v battery would be ok... or out of the question?

It's not out of the question but replacing with a battery different than the current AGM may confuse the onboard software.
