2024 FORD MUSTANG MACH E Complaints

Everyday I drive the vehicle There are 2 error messages 1. Front Camera fault, service required 2. Pre-collision Assist not available I have 32 Pre-collision warning messages in the last month, one for every day I drive. I had to drive 4 hours with no cruise control causing my leg to cramp at the 2 hour mark. There needs to be a recall for this issue. Many many other owners of the Mach-e have mentioned the same.

I was proceeding to drive home from an appointment with a friend, the car suddenly lost power and I had no control over anything. I was able to keep the steering wheel in the locked position trying to get to the side of the road. Thankfully the speed was only 25mph, as someone had just switched lanes and came in front of me. I was in the process of turning to enter the highway. I've been having a problem with this car since I purchased. I told Ford after this incident, that I fear to drive the vehicle with my family, because that's how scared I was when I had no control. I requested multiple times for someone from Ford Corporate to contact me, and still have not heard from anyone. On 11/26 I received a recall for the 12v battery, which is pretty much what keeps the car on and off, and I still have not heard from anyone in Ford corporate.

My name is [XXX] , and I am formally reporting an unacceptable and irresponsible delay regarding my Ford Mustang Mach-E (VIN: [XXX] ), serviced at Group 1 Ford of Southwest Houston (formerly Sterling McCall Ford). My vehicle is only 1.5 years old, yet the clear-coat paint has already deteriorated, and the vehicle is also subject to an official Ford recall. I reported both issues to the dealer more than two months ago. Despite multiple calls and follow-ups, the service department continues giving me the same unacceptable excuse: “We cannot take your vehicle because we do not have a loaner car available.” This is completely unreasonable. This is a recall, and refusal to accept my car due to a lack of loaner vehicles is not my responsibility — it is a failure of Ford and the dealer to provide required support. As a result: •My recall remains unresolved •The paint defect continues to worsen •I have no scheduled service date •I have been told to “wait indefinitely” with no solution This level of customer support is unprofessional, unacceptable, and harmful to the Ford brand. My Demands I request immediate corporate intervention: 1.A guaranteed service appointment without any further delay 2.A loaner vehicle or alternative transportation solution provided by Ford 3.Full repair of the recall and the paint clear-coat defect under warranty 4.Written confirmation of Ford’s next steps if the dealer continues refusing to accept my vehicle If this is not resolved immediately, I will escalate the issue to: •NHTSA (for failure to resolve an active recall), •Texas DMV / Consumer Protection, and •Public consumer platforms. I expect a response within 48 hours. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] Email: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Driving to work as usual and the road is clear just damp from a slight rain. When all the sudden the car just started swerving signaling that the road is wet. But even if wet it shouldn’t swerve like crazy on its own. Causing me to almost crash. It was the most scariest thing that happened to me. I’m taking it to ford dealership tomorrow but not sure how this will be fixed. Now I’m scared to drive on rainy days. I have drove before in rainy days and never had this happen. Today weather when driving wasn’t bad just slight damp on the road and it just started swerving like crazy and I wasn’t driving fast just on a normal street. I was scared to hop on the freeway to work. I skipped work because I was scared to drive.

There is an issue with Cruise Control while moving out of a parking space. I am concerned for my wife who knows nothing about technology. If she were to MISTAKENLY press the Cruise Control button while parked and a car is in front of her, the car's Cruise Control will ACTIVATE AND LUNG FORWARD at a speed of 15MPH. This can be frightening and in a panic a person can crash. This has happened to me on SEVERAL occasions but I am able to handle the situation. If it happens to my WIFE, there surely will be a HUGE problem. I can reproduce the problem very easily. If you are parked behind a car Cruise Control can be activated. If you are STOPPED and there are no cars in front of you, you CANNOT activate Cruise Control. Therefore, when you need Adaptive Cruise Control (for traffic jams) a double click of the button seems feasible. Single click when you are over 30mph. This should be an easy software update.

Recall issued 6/13/2025 and Ford has not announced a remedy to this issue. Ford is required to have a remedy within a timely manner. It has been over two months.

I lease a 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E. On [XXX] the vehicle suddenly displayed a High-Voltage Battery Fault, Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power warning. The dealer replaced the High-Voltage Junction Box (HVJB), however I am unsure whether the actual root cause was ever identified. This failure shows a major defect in the high-voltage electrical system. Separately, my vehicle is also subject to Recall 25S65 / NHTSA 25V404, where a discharged 12-volt battery can prevent the electronic door latches from opening, risking passenger entrapment. Ford has no remedy available and has only projected a future software update. My car is still at the dealership. These two issues are connected: the HV system (through the HVJB) powers the DC-DC converter that keeps the 12-volt battery charged. A failure on the HV side can starve the 12-volt system, which directly creates the entrapment risk described in the recall. I live in Florida, where extreme heat makes this risk especially dangerous for children, pets, and elderly passengers. What is my emergency plan...carry a hammer to break the windows on every trip? This is an unreasonable and unsafe expectation for consumers. Ford has not provided any fix or assurance of safety. I have specifically asked Ford whether my car is safe to drive — they have not provided any assurances, merely repeating that Ford has not issued a stop-driving order on the vehicle. This unresolved defect substantially impairs the use, value, and safety of my vehicle, and Ford has failed to provide an adequate repair.

The contact owns a 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V404000 (Electrical System, Latches/Locks/Linkages); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the rear doors failed to open as needed and could only be opened while engaging the front driver's side power master door lock switch. The local dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,000.

I own a 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E affected by recall 25S65 / 25V404. Ford has placed a stop-sale on all 2024 and older Mach-Es for this issue but is allowing current owners to drive the vehicles. The defect can trap occupants or pets inside if the 12V battery discharges, posing a serious safety risk in hot weather (currently 100°F in my area). I contacted Kendall Ford of Meridian, ID, on 8/14/25 to schedule the repair. They confirmed the remedy is a software update not yet available for my model year and estimated it will not be released until Q4 2025. This is more than 60 days after the recall was issued, and I have no safe remedy available. I believe Ford should provide an immediate fix, replacement vehicle, or buyback due to the safety risk.

I am reporting a serious safety defect involving the electronic front door latches on my 2024 Ford Mustang Mach E. During a 12V battery discharge, the electric latches can fail, preventing the doors from opening in the outside. This means the driver or passengers could become trapped in the vehicle, or the driver can be locked out in an emergency, even if both key fob and key are present. This defect poses a critical safety risk in situations requiring a rapid exit - such as accident or extreme heat and increases the risk of injury or death. As an active duty service member, I work in a secure federal government facility and have to leave my phone in my vehicle during working hours. This heightens the danger, because if the latch fails, I would have no secondary means to gain entry or exit, potentially delaying emergency responses. Ford has acknowledged the defect in the recall (25S65/25V404) in early June. They said to expect an update by the end of Q3, which is nearing and I haven’t heard anything yet. I believe this defect warrants urgent attention, and consideration of a manufacturer buyback due to severe safety implications.
