NHTSA Complaint #11671324 — 2024 FORD MUSTANG MACH E

[XXX] @ [XXX] The door locks are not opening from the outside. The battery will not charge. I cannot get my items out. I have a [XXX] work & personal electronics, along with personal items for myself & my family, inside that I cannot access. It's early Sunday morning, I am over 3 hours away from home, in Corpus Christi, with my brother & [XXX] nephew, along with both of my Dogs. The ford dealerships in this city will not be open until Monday. The plan was to stay for a night & drive back home, as both myself & brother have to work on Monday. I am a therapist (Psychotherapist) with critical clients, & this is problematic. This is NOT the 1st or 2ND time I had an issue like this. This is actually the 3RD time, but the last time I dealt with this, the dealership had no recollection or documentation of a bad battery or battery issues; however, that IS what I was told the first time, but when I picked it up, I was told they just FIXED something, with the battery. The 2nd time, the doors locked up, the battery would not charge & I had it towed to the same dealership, that it was purchased from, from my home of Giddings, TX to College Station, TX, & I was told, I needed a whole new Battery replacement. The car was purchased brand new with approximately 11 miles in October/November of 2024, & it currently has between 7000-8000 (I do not remember the total amount, but it has over 7,000, but less than 8,000). Fast forward to roadside giving me a hard time for having to bring a device to charge the battery to open it, leaving, & cutting my wrist, while grabbing things out of the vehicle, between the seat & center console, as my hand got stuck, & I forgot the seat could not move without any electric charge (there is a JAGGED edge in between that it's dangerous for ANYONE, & it's hidden by a cloth flap). I also had to pay for a rental vehicle despite having this service, when the dealership opened, for 2 days). INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
