NHTSA Complaint #11634956 — 2023 FORD MUSTANG MACH E

Vehicle will suddenly without warning change driving "mode". This includes while in motion or when vehicle is parked, shut off, and re-started. I had submitted video of this occurring many times to the Ford Service Dealer. Vehicle will disengage from "One-Pedal Driving" mode without warning. This is a serious driving hazard because the normal "brake regen" feature to slow and stop the vehicle is suddenly no longer "engaged". Vehicle will no longer receive safety updates via vehicle OTA (over the air) updates to address these and other vehicle defects. The last OTA was in June 2024 with a regression/repeat update manually applied at the Ford Service Dealer in September 2024. The vehicle is now substantially out of date with respect to safety and other vehicle OTA updates. The Ford Service Dealer cannot repair these problems. They have attempted to address and repair without success, even claiming in Sept 2024 this vehicle was "road-tested" by their Technician, however the mileage on the odometer had not changed since the vehicle was left at the Ford Service Dealer. Lastly, regarding the active recall on the vehicle, 5 Ford Service Dealers in the area stated the NHTSA Recall is "unnecessary" and the manufacturer (Ford) knows the replacement parts are not available. Specifically, I was informed my vehicle would remain "parked" waiting for service for 4-6 weeks before any diagnosis or repairs would be made.
