The updated terms establish automatic renewal for paid plans following the one-year trial period, meaning users will be enrolled in recurring billing unless they affirmatively cancel. The revised language also states that prices are subject to change, which means Ford retains the right to adjust fees during the subscription term. Under the updated agreement, equipped Ford vehicle owners transitioning from trial must enroll in a paid plan to continue service access. You can cancel the automatic renewal at any time through your Ford app account to halt recurring charges.
View change record →The updated Terms no longer disclose how Ford collects customer reviews, manages the third-party vendor (MaritzCX) responsible for survey administration, or applies moderation standards to published feedback. Previously, the Terms explained that reviews are moderated to remove profanity, fraud, personal identifying information, competitor references, dangerous behavior, and inadequate text. Users can no longer see these operational details or understand what standards govern how their submitted reviews are processed and displayed.
