2021 FORD MUSTANG MACH E — Problems, Recalls & Safety Data

Vehicle experienced immediate loss of motive power while in motion at 45 mph after "Stop Safely Now" alert. This is a repeat power failure. The vehicle was in service for 75+ days (Dec-Feb) for this exact defect. The Ford service center said they replaced the “battery controller” yet the issue recurred. The car previously flagged this alert while in motion 2 times prior (one on the highway going ~65mph and on another major street going roughly ~45 mph). As a Ford Reacquired Vehicle (Buyback), the failure to resolve this catastrophic electrical fault creates an extreme risk of crash and entrapment in traffic, putting myself, my family and the drivers in vicinity at significant safety risk. The car is currently at a different Ford Service Center. They have been able to reproduce the issue and are currently running diagnostics to identify a resolution.

After recall-related software updates were performed on my 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E, the vehicle began experiencing repeated electrical and climate control failures. The heating and defrost system stopped working, leaving the vehicle without heat and causing the windows to fog, which reduces visibility in cold weather and creates unsafe driving conditions. The vehicle has been taken to multiple authorized Ford dealerships for inspection and repair; however, the problem returned immediately after the repair. The issue was reproduced and confirmed by a second dealer. A required part is currently on back order until the end of Feburary, leaving the vehicle unrepaired for an extended period. In addition, the vehicle experienced 12-volt battery failure and slow charging after the last recall update. These issues were not present prior to the recall. There were no warning lights before the failures occurred. During severe winter weather conditions in Pennsylvania, the lack of heat and defrost made it extremely difficult and unsafe to operate the vehicle. Because of reduced visibility and freezing interior temperatures, the vehicle could not be safely driven and, due to frigid temperatures, has remained parked. I am still making monthly payments on a vehicle that cannot be reliably or safely used.
