Sport Mode in 2013 PP SHO

My car DOES NOT display the sport mode message on the left info screen. My vin number and build date are in the 2nd photo.
 
My buddy from the dealer spoke with some people and they are saying it might be a gauge cluster issue. Once I'm done going to the track, it's going in to be checked.

PS- Ran my car last night and even though the dash isn't saying I'm in Sport Mode, I tried it anyway. Well, I had the best two 60 foot times ever so I think it's working even though the message doesn't show when you hit the button twice.

1.820 and 1.783
 
Correct the message won't display but the traction light in the right side is on indicating it is on. We need the message so we know what setting we are in.

It's a software issue with IPC aka instrument panel cluster programming. They need to make a programming fix. If the slim chance of it actually being hardware then they will need to replace lots of clusters.

My car goes into the dealer tomorrow for several issues and this IPC issue is one of them.

I will let everyone know how it turns out.
 
It has been dropped off and i showed them what it doesn't display so hopefully they will contact ford and cross your fingers.

Mine doesn't display Sport Mode when activated either, huh I always wondered about that.  Though I know the different modes still work... tested on BIR race course back in 2012. Sport mode is kind of nice... it will let you slide rear out a little more before activating.  I had experienced this in the last corner on the track, in normal and in Sport.  Since the car had 2K on the clock... I never shut it completely off....... it was raining and the car was new....and I was used to driving a Mustang on road courses. (or just plain chicken...lol)
 
Just got back from picking up my car...yes 2 weeks at the dealer.

AdvanceTrak display issue....ignored even though I showed them the problem personally.

Sounds like what my dealer did to me when I told them about the awd display.

Ah no dealer will know how to activate the AWD gauge without guidance from me.

Ford still has not resolved the issue and has dropped the ball and will no longer respond to my attempts about contacting them about the issue.  Should go crash my car and sue based on a safety defect because I didn't know I put it in sport mode lol

Well....thanks to this post, I've realized I've been doing it wrong.  I wasn't holding the Traction Control button long enough.

The one thing I noticed is that when the splash screen comes up, the traction control icon flashes a few times and then goes solid.  That's it.  Went through the all the display issues for the dash.

Gotta say, my 0-60 feels even faster.  Crazy!  Gonna have to take it out and actually try it somewhere.

Thanks all!!
