Consumer Description
I have attached a letter to this email that ford recently sent me for my 2023 and 2022 mustang mach e. The one attached here is for the 2023 one. Supposedly software is supposed to fix a burning or melting of the charge port pins. I am not sure one of my cars looks like it may be arched but this letter from ford is ridiculous. I request a recall to inspect all charge port pins in all 2023 and 2022 mustang mach e's. I also request since ford is known for trying to use software to update electrical parts that may arc (I.E the battery control module) that a separate investigation be opened to this matter. There is currently no recall for this and I have a concern for both my vehicles now if arching can take place. Furthermore I have had two charging cables burn up on my 2022 mustang mach e Vin number [XXX] but thats besides the point. Point is there is no recall to something that software not installed that doesn't have a transfer function that predicts the charging port pin/terminal temperature. This seems like basic engineer electronics that should have been designed from the beginning to do this. With all the electrical issues these cars have I also question the entire design. More questions to follow are is this software not being installed on my car damaging my charging cable? (I.e why i had two get fried already and possibly have a third i just have not had time to take the third cable in yet) Also why are we not getting our cars inspected in a recall? If this software doesn't monitor the charging pin port/terminal temperature what if 10,000's of vehicles have arched terminal pins in them? We would never know if not been inspected.
