Consumer Description

Drove my fully charged Mustang Mach E(MME) from TN to my daughter's school and to a local dealership to have some aftermarket wheels/tires installed (20 miles in total). Upon parking the vehicle in their service lane, I turned the vehicle off and handed them the keys. They get in the vehicle and try to turn it on and tell me "the vehicle won't turn on". I get in the vehicle myself and sure enough, the main dash display, screen display, transmission lights, etc are not working at all. After 7+ hours of trying to diagnose, there is apparently already a TSB out there for 12v batteries failing and other issues regarding the LVB (low voltage battery). None of these were ever addressed or reported to me. My vehicle is only 1.5 months old with 2k miles on it. The car is broken and completely inoperable at this point. Ford sent a roadside assistance individual (2 hours later) and they physically had to drag the vehicle onto the tow bed because it will not go into neutral or react to anything they did. Ford then tells me it could be weeks before they can even look at it. The car is incapable of moving and I have kids to pick up. I had to call Ford HQ (which takes hours) and they are going to provide me rental reimbursement afterward, but I could be out thousands of dollars out of pocket in the meantime. Why aren't these issues resolved before selling people a vehicle? I could have been stuck on the side of the highway or in traffic or similar with 0 way to move or operate the vehicle. It could not be rolled or maneuvered in any way. It had to be drug off the floor of the service shop to even tow it. These TSBs are old as well, some dating back to feb 2021 (purchased my car in Feb 22). This is extremely dangerous and with a 1 year old and 5 year old, we could have been stranded or seriously harmed if this occurred in traffic. https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/car-wont-start-stuck-in-service-lane-2021-mme-gtpe-eawd.16521/
