I bought this car in August of 2024. It started having issues with the door lock in September and in December I decided to sell it back to the dealer but was in a car accident on the way to the dealership. Unfortunately the door jamming issue caused repair problems and the auto repair shop could not fix the door issues. I lost the car to the repair shop in a lien sale due to the cost of repair which was over $20,000. In August of 2025 Ford issued a recall which allowed the auto repair shop was able to fix the car and sell it to a dealership. I have contacted Ford several times in relation to the issues with the car and how they caused me to loose the car, but they have not responded despite the promise to do so in 7-15 business days. Loosing this car...
Hood latch on vehicle failed. When opening hood to access the frunk (either thru manual hood release, or electronic release on car screen), hood unlocks halfway, and then is in a state where it can neither be opened or closed. Car has questionable safety once hood latch is in this state, as it is partially open and will not relatch. My car is currently at dealer for replacement of striker, hood latch, and actuator components under warranty.
The mach e has a front trunk. I have seen several posts about the front latch failing which includes the emergency release should a child or smaller adult get stuck in the frunk. My mach e did this to me today. As a result I was also forced to drive with the frunk half open to get my car back home until I can get it serviced.
The vehicle started saying a door was ajar without indicating which one. Sometimes we would get an intruder alert while the car was plugged in at work but nothing was open or unlocked. Occasionally the passenger door would open on its own after turning off the car. Now we get a door fault alert after starting the car. We have contacted a local dealer as well as our purchasing dealer but both indicate. Month before they can see the car due to lack of qualified techs. Today, 4/26/2022 the passenger door opened on its own while at highway speed. Only the driver was in the car. The driver had to reach over to rematch the door. A dealer appointment was set two weeks prior for 5/12/2022.
