One pedal drive system failure. Had the 22B50 charge port recall done on the 18th of April 24. After leaving the dealer upon approach to a light one mile away, one pedal disengaged during de-acceleration for the light. Warning did come up near the same time. It felt like vehicle was accelerating, but just loss regen. It has since happened daily. sometimes multiple times. Restart the car and it works normal. The recall was to reprogram the BCCM according to the dealer.

This vehicle has 3 outstanding recalls: 21V711, 21V712, 23V687. The car was purchased new from Orchid Isle Ford in May 2021. They are the only electric vehicle Ford Dealer on Hawaii Island (they operate another non-electric vehicle dealership on the island). On [XXX] I had the annual maintenance performed. I requested that recalls 21V711 & 21V712 be done as well. the dealership declined and stated they would call me when they could do those recalls. They have never called. I started calling the dealership every 3 months beginning in Sept 2022. They have always refused to perform those recalls w/o explanation. In February 2024 I called to schedule the 36-month service and have all 3 recalls done. I was advised that the dealership could not do any of the recalls. I was called on Feb 23 by a person identifying themselves as the owner's sister (Mary) promising they'd make things right and asking for two weeks to arrange for the glass recalls to be done. I have had no contact since and have again been told by the service department that they can not and will not perform these recalls at any time regardless of where I bought the car. On [XXX], I emailed Ford Motor Company's CEO James Farley advising his office of the problem in getting three safety recalls performed on Hawaii Island. I have received no response from him, or any of the other emails sent to other officers of the Ford Motor Company nor have I even received an acknowledgment of receipt. At this point, I can only presume that Ford does not care if recalls are done. Recall 23V687 has the potential to strand me on rural roads where there is no cell service. The two glass recalls (21V711 & 21V712) can potentially cause death or serious injury in an accident. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.

This is a follow up to ODI 11510437 that was filed via the phone in 2/2023 related to now the federal safety agency Recall 23V687. The vehicle in question experienced exactly the issue described in the recall notice. Our incident was part of the federal safety agency investigation. The vehicle had its high voltage battery junction box replaced in +/- March 2023, but the new box was the same design as the old box that is poorly engineered. Notices sent out in Fall of 2023 indicating that there was a recall were not sent to us for this vehicle. Similarly, the notice sent in April 2024 informing Mach E owners to schedule appointments at their dealer was not sent to us for this vehicle. Upon contacting Ford, they indicated that this vehicle is not part of this recall. After insisting on speaking to a supervisor, he claimed that it was now a part of the recall but refused to provide me any written acknowledgment of this. When pressed further he then said that our vehicle was not part of the recall because the part was already replaced. When I explained that the part replace was the same defective part he told me to call the dealership or the federal safety agency because he would do nothing further. He went on to say that there was nothing further he would or could do, nor would it transfer me to anybody at Ford that could address our unique circumstances. Upon calling the federal safety agency they advised, (amongst other things), that we file a complaint via this portal.

Dashboard warnings about the high-voltage battery due to a fault. There is a known issue with the HVBJB (high-voltage battery junction box) plus a powertrain malfunction warning..

Filed Sep 29, 2023 · Electrical, Fuel system · OR

We came out to our parked car and got a message that said Stop Safely Now. The vehicle would not shift into gear. The dealership had confirmed that the high voltage junction box has failed. We did not get the Service Vehicle Soon warning prior to the failure, despite having had the recall software update applied. The first sign of failure was a loss of motive power. This is a safety issue because loss of motive power while driving can result in loss of control of the vehicle. The loss of heating and cooling combined with the loss of motive power is also a significant safety risk if the failure occurs in a remote location experiencing extreme temperatures. The part has yet to be replaced, but I’m sure Ford will be retaining it for inspection.

Shortly after entering the freeway on August 18, 2023, my vehicle experienced a powertrain malfunction and displayed a Service Vehicle Soon warning light along with a vehicle with an exclamation point light and a wrench light. Motive power was reduced. I received a Diagnostic Test Code of P0ADA, indicating that there was a hybrid powertrain fault. The dealer has confirmed the code and is ordering a replacement part.

I am filing this complaint regarding the potential failure of the High Voltage Battery Junction Box. There have been many failures reported on the forums some experiencing multiple failures. Ford provided a software update that supposedly predicts an impending failure reducing available propulsion power. I do not feel comfortable driving a vehicle with a ticking time bomb. Losing propulsion power while driving at highway speeds could result in a serious safety senerio. I would like to see Ford provide a real fix.

The HVBJB subassembly in ALL Ford Mach-e vehicles has known defects with 'under-designed' main contacts that are known to fail under normal charging and driving conditions as outlined in current open Ford recall notice. Unfortunately, the internal damage to contactors is not visible externally, and warning notices on display only AFTER the damage has occurred, and can result in sudden loss of propulsion power at highway speed, loss of power steering, and power brakes... and failure of other 12v systems due to failure to charge the 12v battery properly after contacts are damaged. Less catastrophic results can include failure to start; which can 'strand' driver's and passengers in remote areas, bad weather conditions, as well as cause loss of use for weeks due to delays in replacement parts and local Dealerships needing equipment and training to effect removal/replacement of faulty unit with a new HVBJB having re-designed 'beefier' components.​ ​ My complaint is that Ford's recall notice 22s41 is a software-only attempt to prevent future damage, and does not require removal of the part(s) which are KNOWN TO FAIL to be replaced with the re-designed components which are available, and have been used to repair failures under warranty. I have no way of inspecting the original equipment to evaluate current condition; and failure can result in sudden and unexpected loss of power, steering, and braking as well as potentially 'stranding me' in unsafe conditions unable to re-start my vehicle.​ ​ I would like to see the federal safety agency strengthen the Ford recall to include both improved software AND removal/replacement of the HVBJB sub-assembly with the new 'beefier' parts.​

On Friday 8/18/23 I was driving down a major freeway and my Mach-E jolted violently. I then received a "Stop Safely Now" and "Service Vehicle Soon" message. The vehicle lost all power at this time. Being on a very busy freeway my safety was at risk and I was luckily able to coast over to the right shoulder. The car refused to "start" after pulling over however the 12v battery did work so I was able to use accessories. Once towed to the dealer I was able to confirm a P0AA2 TSB code that indicated that a conductor was stuck open on the high voltage junction box. This was supposed to be fixed by a previous recall software update that FORD uploaded to my car however that was not the case. I am now without a car for 2 weeks but more importantly I am concerned for the safety of other Mach-E drivers as I am reading that this can happen again even after a hardware fix.

Unintended acceleration from a stop when pushing accelerator. Has happened 2 times in the last 2 days. I touched the throttle from a stop 2 time and it took off like I put the accelerator to full throttle (which I didn’t). Very dangerous situation in parking lots or around pedestrians. I have scheduled an apt with my local dealer.

Ford released an OTA update for the HVB issue Mach-E were having and leaving drivers stranded. I have seen that even with the update many people are still having the cars break down while driving and needing the High Voltage Battery Connector replaced. I am worried that this may happen to my car one day while driving and could cause an accident or death. Is there anyway to force Ford to fix every car that had this issue before we break down? The temporary fix of software is not good. I think FOrd should be forced to recall all Mach-E and replace the connector before there is an accident that leads to deaths on the road.

I had been driving without issue, no warnings from the car. I parked at a gas station to get a snack. When I got back in the car could not be started or driven. It has to be placed on a flatbed and towed to the dealer. The message on start was “Stop safely now”. My vehicle had Safety Recall 22S41, which obviously does NOT fix the issue.

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.

On May 14, 2022, I stopped twice on a 120 mile trip to recharge my Mach E at a level 3 DC charger. Upon completing each charge, the ring around the charging port turned red and I received a default message. I plugged my car into my home level 2 charger and the car completely locked down and I was unable to reenter the car. I have since learned that this is the classic sign of a HVBJB failure. The dealerships updated the car's programming but did not replace the HVBJB.

My vehicle was built with under-specked high voltage battery joint assembly bracket. The failure of this connection has caused many incidents whereby the car cannot start, or suddenly stops while driving. The part is either not to original specification or was not designed correctly. In either case, providing a SW fix to simply limit the voltage does not actually prevent or correct the problem. As this fix has rolled out, there are numerous reports of the issue still happening. This is because the fix doesn't fix the original condition, it only serves to limit the scope going forward. But if the part has been in use for 2 years as mine is, then the damage has already occurred and the fix will not prevent my issue. The appropriate fix for the problem is a replacement HVBJB, which Ford is only installing AFTER the incident occurs. This is totally unacceptable and is simply an accident waiting to occur. The SW fix is analogous to the original attempt by GM to correct the Bolt battery fire situation. Eventually, the batteries were replaced, which was the correct response. I am simply demanding that Ford follow a similar path. Consumer stated number for the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 22V412000.

While returning from vacation, driving home on the highway, our car suddenly stopped working. We had been traveling at approximately 65 mph on SR 1 in Delaware when I accelerated to pass another vehicle and the car suddenly jolted forward and the engine seized. I received a warning to pull to a safe location as soon as possible. Thankfully, we were able to pull the car over to the shoulder of the highway without incident. The cars electrical system gradually shut down, limiting our ability to place the vehicle in neutral for towing. Approximately 250 miles from home and forced to wait more than 2 hours in the 90 degree weather with no AC, we were forced to bring the car to the nearest ford dealership in new castle Delaware. Since the battery and power completely failed, the dealership had to jump the 12 volt battery several times to get the car back in neutral to remove the vehicle from the tow truck. We needed to find our own car rental as neither the dealership nor ford customer service would assist with getting us back home to NY.

On May 20, 2022, for the second time in a month my 2021 California 1 Mach e has had a catastrophic failure. It is less than a year old with 21,000mi. First time (April 20, 2022) I pulled out onto road after fast charging. Tonight, I started driving out of parking space after shopping. Emergency bells go off, all kinds of alerts and the car dies. You cannot get the gear cluster to turn...at all. Car will not turn off either. If this happens on a highway, it could be life endangering. First time it happened I was in Charlotte and Ford Dealer (Capital Ford) said it was 12v battery issue. Said they fixed it. I took it in to Palmetto Ford in Charleston to have it investigated further and they said it was fixed. That was two weeks ago. Now it's happened again. In second incident on May 20, I called for towing. As truck showed up, my car started normally (i had tried several other times before). I am still taking into Palnetto Ford Dealer. The Ford Motor Company needs to fix this before someone is killed. Documenting this for myself and others. This is happening to other Mustang Mach E...because I have seen the issue written about in online forums. The problem onset is sudden and catastrophic, meaning the car just dies. First time I was on a busy road traveling 30mph and managed to roll into a parking lot. Had their been traffic I could have been hit. Second time, I was in a parking lot traveling 5 mph and blocked an entire lane for 10min. To emphasize: two dealers looked at vehicle after incident 1 and said issue was fixed. Now I have to go back into Dealer again. Thank you for investigating.

While parking in a garage the vehicle unexpectedly accelerated and ran into a wall. Anyone in or around the car may have been seriously ignored. The issues has happened twice but can not be reproduced by me. There we no indicators that the event was about to take place There is a recall for this on the vehicle type but not for the date of my manufacturing.
