NHTSA Complaint #11712665 — 2021 FORD MUSTANG MACH E

I am requesting immediate escalation regarding my 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E (VIN: [XXX] ), which is currently undrivable due to being stuck in “Power Accessory Active” mode. The vehicle will not enter Drive. The dealer has diagnosed DCEM / high-voltage system-related faults and stated that recall repairs cannot be completed unless I first pay approximately $3,000 to repair the “main battery.” My concern is that the symptoms and failure mode exactly match the known High-Voltage Battery Junction Box / DCEM defect described in Ford Safety Recall 23S56, including: •Vehicle unable to drive •High-voltage system refusing to close contactors •Vehicle remaining in accessory power mode •Safety-related loss of motive power While my VIN may not be currently listed as eligible for these recalls, my vehicle is exhibiting identical symptoms and failure modes associated with the following Ford safety recalls: •HV Battery Junction Box / DCEM defect (Recall 23S56) •Powertrain / Software Update (Recall 22S29) •12-Volt Battery / Door Latch Entrapment Risk (Recall 25S65) It is important to note that other Mustang Mach-E owners have reported the same recall-related failures even when their VINs were not listed for these recalls. These failures involve contactor issues, loss of motive power, and vehicles being stuck in accessory mode — identical to the symptoms my vehicle is experiencing. Given that my vehicle is experiencing a safety-related loss of motive power, Given the safety implications and known defect history, I request that this matter be reviewed.
