2019 Fordpass app cannot locate vehicle

I installed the Fordpass app, created new account, linked it to my VIN. Everything seems to work, except it is "unable to locate vehicle". Sync GPS works fine. It's parked outside with no overhead obstructions. Any ideas why this doesn't work?

where do I find this? I'm probably blind but somebody else mentioned this and I can't find it anywhere in the app.... or is it on the truck sync somewhere?

I sent them an e-mail last week and they replied that they're working on an update for the app. No idea when it will be working again.

Mine has never worked with Android. I called the support center on 12/1/18 and they advised updating the app. Did that, no improvement. I encourage anyone having issues with this feature to call 313-621-0005.

Yep, my 2019 is the same. Worked once, now it doesn't. Guess I'll be calling the number Tommy Z provided.

Huh, mine doesn't show the location anymore either. Odd -

Another oddity, I've got `5500 miles on the truck and it says the oil is still at 46%... I was planning on changing it at 6K and then using the monitor from there on out, but that would be over 10k on the change interval. Interesting.

I'm doing first change at 5k regardless, then I will follow the reminder schedule....which I usually change it when it get to 10-20% left
