2021 FORD MUSTANG MACH E Complaints

Forward collision warning constantly going on. Brought it for service and told them but still going on

All 4 brake rotors warped at once. Had vehicle serviced for 10000 mile evaluation which included rotating tires and checking brake only 6 weeks earlier. Only drove car additional 200 miles since service. All rotors warped at once without excessive braking, heat or water.

I want to draw attention to a significant concern: U.S. auto safety regulators announced in August of this year that they are currently investigating whether Ford Motor's 2022 recall of nearly 49,000 Ford Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles comprehensively addressed the associated safety concerns. The basis for the 2022 recall was that the high voltage battery main contactors could overheat, particularly from DC fast-charging and repeated wide-open pedal events. This overheating presents a very real danger as it could result in an immediate loss of power, markedly increasing the risk of a vehicular accident. Furthermore, after the recall, Ford issued a technical service bulletin, directing the replacement of the High Voltage Battery Junction Box on the recalled vehicles. However, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has since opened a recall query. This action was prompted by 12 consumer complaints related to Mach-E vehicles that had supposedly received the necessary recall fixes. It is worth noting that the High Voltage Battery Junction Box has been replaced on my Mach-E already, and I am still facing problems. This is my third encounter with this particular safety issue.

We came out to our parked car and got a message that said Stop Safely Now. The vehicle would not shift into gear. The dealership had confirmed that the high voltage junction box has failed. We did not get the Service Vehicle Soon warning prior to the failure, despite having had the recall software update applied. The first sign of failure was a loss of motive power. This is a safety issue because loss of motive power while driving can result in loss of control of the vehicle. The loss of heating and cooling combined with the loss of motive power is also a significant safety risk if the failure occurs in a remote location experiencing extreme temperatures. The part has yet to be replaced, but I’m sure Ford will be retaining it for inspection.

The contact owns a 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. The contact stated that a puddle of water was found in the front driver's side seat after a heavy rainstorm. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where an inspection was performed. The result showed that the adhesion around the windshield was defective which led to water intrusion inside the vehicle. The contact was made aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V711000 (Visibility); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was provided a case number and referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000.

I have experienced multiple powertrain malfunctions since the original recall for this issue was completed back in 2022. Approximately 4-5 of these warnings were temporary and cleared within a few hours or after a visit to the dealer to diagnose. Most dealer visits yielded nothing as the car had cleared the errors and codes it was throwing. In 2021, I experienced a complete vehicle failure with a "Stop Safely Now" and "High-Voltage Battery Warning", right before the original recall was performed. My most recent malfunction has also caused a complete vehicle failure, exactly like what happened in 2021. I am concerned that these issues will continue and eventually happen while driving, creating a massive safety issue.

On 9/16/23 I had no control over acceleration. When I tried to acceleration there was no response, then a slow increase in speed and then a burst of speed independent of my foot pressure on the pedal. Fortunately I was able to drive 2 miles home to get it towed away without an incident, other than terror over the potential danger. I never received the recall 22V-333 issued 5/30/2022 yet my vehicle fits the description of the cars recalled. My question: How was my car missed? Does this recall need to extend to more vehicles?

Acceleration problem. The in this Mustang Mach E 2021 when I stepped on the 'gas' pedal there was no response then a very slow response, then a leap to a faster speed independent of my pressure on the pedal. I had to break to slow down. This was a constant presence until I was able to get home, about 2 miles away. I was terrified that I had no control over my speed, if I had to get out in front of traffic quickly or if I couldn't stop and my speed keep increasing. My concern is that this was a problem that lead to a recall issued 5/30/2022 and my vehicle was not included, although it met the criteria described in the recall. I think you missed me. My car was towed away on 9/16/23 to Middleton Ford where they can look at it 10/6/23.

While driving on the NJ turnpike I notice a grinding noise. I was using 1 pedal drive at the time. Once I disabled the 1 pedal drive. I received multiple dash board alerts and App alerts that the Mach E was experiencing a Powertrain Malfunction/ Reduced power. Hill start Assist Warning/Pre-Collision assist Not available. This happened on 8/24/2023. I drove to the dealership and left the vehicle with them to look into the alerts and grinding noise. I called the dealer the next week and was told that the front motor had failed and a replacement was ordered. I reached out today 9.18.23 and learned it was an oil leak that caused the motor to fail and that a new motor was being ordered, the original part number was replaced with the new part. I was told that it will take another month. I do not know if the part was examined by the manufacture. I my odometer was at 45,000. I was concerned while driving to the dealer that I would lose all power.

The contact owns a 2021 Ford Mustang Mach E. The contact stated that while driving slowly in reverse and reversing of a parking space, the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration and erroneously drove across the street before crashing into an apartment building wall. During the crash, the driver sustained a lower back injury and left arm laceration which required medical treatment. The vehicle was towed to a local body shop. No police report was taken. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 14,750.
