2021 Ford Mustang Mach E: engine overheating

Filed Jun 1, 2024 · Transmission · TX

This car has had multiple recalls and issues with the power train. It has affected my safety on multiple instances. The cars sensors went out die to the batter overheating and it was having trouble delivering power to the sensors and other parts of the vehicle. When the sensors went out, the car would malfunction and it would think we are about to crash so it would break on its own and do other weird technical things. When the battery overheats it also does not allow effect cooling of vehicle and I live in a state that is very hot. I have reported these issues to the dealer multiple times, but Ford has not put out a remedy for this issue yet.

On April 10, 2024, my vehicle experienced a warning message to service vehicle and a sudden loss of power while I was driving on the freeway. The issue was caused by a failure in my high voltage battery junction block. Something that Ford had already issued a software update vehicle to my vehicle for a recall. However clearly the software update was not an appropriate fix for the issue and should not be considered fulfillment of the recall. In fact, Ford has an open recall for the extended battery configuration of my vehicle to proactively replace this defective part. I am reporting this issue to the federal safety agency because clearly the software ‘fix’ did not resolve the safety issue AND it’s scary that standard range batteries are neglected from the overall recall that applied to the rest of the model. Ford needs to be proactively addressing this issue for all affected model years, not just certain configurations. Frankly it is wild that the federal safety agency accepted a software update as an appropriate recall fix for a hardware component overheating and melting while driving. It didn’t work and should not be considered a fix.

I want to draw attention to a significant concern: U.S. auto safety regulators announced in August of this year that they are currently investigating whether Ford Motor's 2022 recall of nearly 49,000 Ford Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles comprehensively addressed the associated safety concerns. The basis for the 2022 recall was that the high voltage battery main contactors could overheat, particularly from DC fast-charging and repeated wide-open pedal events. This overheating presents a very real danger as it could result in an immediate loss of power, markedly increasing the risk of a vehicular accident. Furthermore, after the recall, Ford issued a technical service bulletin, directing the replacement of the High Voltage Battery Junction Box on the recalled vehicles. However, the federal safety agency has since opened a recall query. This action was prompted by 12 consumer complaints related to Mach-E vehicles that had supposedly received the necessary recall fixes. It is worth noting that the High Voltage Battery Junction Box has been replaced on my Mach-E already, and I am still facing problems. This is my third encounter with this particular safety issue.

After receiving the remedy to the federal safety agency campaign 22V‑412 on Aug 5, 2022 via a Ford Power-Up over-the-air update, my high-voltage battery contactors still overheated and failed on Oct 25, 2022, requiring warrantied replacement by my Ford dealer on Oct 27, 2022.

Ford has failed to take corrective action regarding their Safety Recall Notice 22S41 ( high voltage battery main contactors may overheat and remain open or weld closed). They have not supplied the program updates NEITHER by Wi-Fi or vehicle modem via Automatic Updates for which my vehicle is set up to receive NOR by way of the Ford dealership (Brewster Ford, Brewster, NY) having possession of my vehicle for THREE (3) full days. They are simply unable to remedy Safety Recall Notice 22S41 endangering my family and I. Please take whatever action that you are allowed to fixed the problem before someone gets hurt. Thank you.
