NHTSA Complaint #11583689 — 2021 FORD MUSTANG MACH E

This is a follow up to ODI 11510437 that was filed via the phone in 2/2023 related to now NHTSA Recall 23V687. The vehicle in question experienced exactly the issue described in the recall notice. Our incident was part of the NHTSA 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 NHTSA 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 NHTSA they advised, (amongst other things), that we file a complaint via this portal.
