2021 Ford Mustang Mach E engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Have had 2 separate incidents in which while driving down highway, car switched into slow mode, powering down and ultimately coming to a stop. Had to call 911 both times to get to safety; it was very scary. Car is at dealer for 2 weeks as of today. Believe this is a battery problem which has been identified in lots of other vehicles
My vehicle has 13,000 miles on it and I have been driving it without any problems until August 12, 2022 when I turned the vehicle on and there was "service now" and a "Battery service" message. I was aware of this problem because it was posted online and Ford has sent me mail about this problem but I thought it could be fixed by an over the air update, which I performed already. So I contacted the nearest dealer to book an appointment to remedy this issue but the next available appointment was on August 31st so it was 2 weeks from then. I decided to give it a shot and drive it and I was able to drive approximately 40 miles before the car shut down as I was turning right on a stoplight on my way to work. The propulsion did not work along with a series of multiple error messages on all systems. I was able to bring the car to the side of the road, in front of a tire service company's parking lot. I tried to start and restart it but to no avail. I called the nearest Ford dealership and they accepted my vehicle so I called a towing service to tow my vehicle to them. I decided to step out of the vehicle and inform the establishment about the situation and that I called a towing service already. When I tried to get in, the doors did not work anymore so I was not able to get in. The towing service arrived and told me to put my car to neutral gear so she can pull it up the bed of the tow truck. I said I could not get in and she stated that she might damage the vehicle if she tried to pull it while it is on park. I had no choice but to agree because I cannot get in the vehicle to change the gear. She had me sign a waiver that states that I accept any possible damages that the vehicle might incur during the towing process. She was able to get the vehicle on the tow truck and deliver it to the dealership I mentioned and now they are trying to repair it. I was aware of this issue beforehand but Ford stated that this issue can be resolved with a simple software update.
I was stranded in a parking lot in the evening when my car wouldn't start. The vehicle displayed a "STOP SAFELY NOW" message and I couldn't get the car to move on its own. This happened on April 13, 2022. My safety was at risk because I was in a parking lot at night and unable to engage my car. I had to call and wait for a tow truck. The Ford dealership, in consultation with Ford engineers, confirmed that it was due to a faulty High Voltage Battery Junction Box (HVBJB) and it had to be replaced. With the faulty HVBJB, the car was undrivable. The HVBJB was inspected by Ford personnel and determined to be faulty. It was replaced under warranty. There were no other messages or warnings before my car failed to start. No prior symptoms. I drove normally to a store, parked the car, and when I returned to my car it failed to start.
The High Volt Battery (HVB) would have a fault in charging sporadically. When this happens, the vehicle can't start. All the alerts for safety features come on and says that it's in accessory mode only. It's no longer in my possession for inspection. It was approved for lemon law buy back and is now owned by Ford Motor Company. They've recognized that the 12v battery drains dead when this happens and they were attempting to replace the ECM module, Battery Control Harness, and the HVB junction box to remedy the issue. My safety was put at risk in terms of when this happened. It was between -25 to -40 when this was occurring and the heat doesn't come on in accessory mode. There was the possibility of frostbite within 5-10 minutes if I didn't seek warm shelter. The problem was reproduced by the dealership where purchased [they have all the documentation on file] as well as multiple people [more than 50+] in other states having the same problems reproduced on their Ford Mach-e vehicles as well at macheforum.com. The vehicle and components were inspected and ultimately bought back the vehicle by the manufacturer. No warnings lamps, messages, or other symptoms appear prior to the failure. They first appear when the vehicle 'decides' to not charge anymore. Since Ford has yet to announce any recalls / notices because of the increasing amount of people having the same issue. I wanted to inform the federal safety agency because it's just a matter of time before someone does have a risk event because of this.
On 4/1, while entering the FWY @ about 50 mph under moderate accel, big thump (felt like the trans fell out), drivers display cycled thru multiple errors with "stop safely now" repeatedly flashing. Throttle went dead, speed dropped to 35 and steadily decreased. Was able to slowly exit FWY @ next exit, rolled thru light @ bottom of ramp and pulled over to the side of a busy side street. Came to a stop & car would not move. Put in park, cycled on/off several times. Would not come out of park. Tow truck arrived. Found emergency tow function in the main display. Tow driver hooked up front, put rears on dolly & towed to dealer.
While driving on a mountain pass, my 2021 Mustang Mach-E vehicle lost all regenerative braking which, due to the downhill grade, caused a sudden and shocking increase in speed, played warning chimes, and displayed "Stop Safely Now" and "1-Pedal Drive Fault Press Brake Pedal To Reduce Speed" and lost all drive power, forcing me to coast to a stop on the side of the mountain, in an area without cellular coverage to call for help. The vehicle did not restart and would not shift out of Park in 5 attempts to restart. After 10 minutes on the side of the road, the vehicle restarted without issue and no error messages remain in the vehicle.
