2022 FORD MUSTANG MACH E Complaints

I was waiting in a drive thru behind a line of cars at a full stop for some time, so I was using One Pedal assist/Auto Hold. My car suddenly accelerated and slammed into the car in front of me.

Shortly after purchasing my vehicle on [XXX], specifically on [XXX] a significant malfunction was encountered, indicated by the 'Front Camera Fault Service Required' and 'Pre-Collision Assist Not Available' warnings. Returning to the dealership on May 5th, the manager misinformed, stating the issue was a recall and required service at a Ford dealership. However, upon contacting Ford Lincoln with the VIN, it was discovered these codes are not associated with any recall. I returned to the dealership, provided them the printout from Ford Lincoln explaining the codes and how it's not a recall. They then told me that they will not honor the repairs due to me exceeding my 30-day extension. I proceeded to leave and said I'll deal with it when it poses a problem. After a resent software update, a new code popped up saying "Door Fault Service Required". July 2025 Koons Ford picked my car up and they confirmed that the issues documented in the attached photos are not covered by any recalls. However, this experience is further corroborated by attached photos and testimony from others reporting identical recurring problems since 2022. You can reference to the [XXX] " for the other vehicle owner's testimony. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The recall has no estimated repair date: the initial notification was June 16th. This has passed a reasonable amount of time, with no repair but a "we think we might fix it around the 3rd quarter of 2025" - definitely not satisfying the law.

I was driving my car when all of a sudden it lost all acceleration and power, I was lucky that I wasn't on the highway anymore and was able to pull over safely on a side street while car was rolling still. Dealer said 12V battery fused, and I have been reading forums where this is a common issue.. In a normal ICE car when 12V battery dies while driving, car can still drive, in this case, it just stops and pops up a dozen errors about everything being broken.

Vehicle Information: •Make: Ford •Model: Mach-E •Model Year: 2022 •Vehicle Type: Electric SUV •VIN: [XXX] •Mileage at time of incident: 31114 •Purchased in: California Incident Date: [XXX] Location: Laguna Niguel, CA Injury: Yes Crash: Yes Fire: No Airbags Deployed: No Police Report Filed: Yes Description of Complaint: On or around [XXX], I was driving my 2022 Ford Mach-E when the steering wheel suddenly locked and the braking system failed completely. I lost all control of the vehicle and was unable to slow or steer the car, leading to a crash. Despite the severity of the incident, the airbags did not deploy. At the time, I did not have obvious injuries, but shortly afterward, I began to experience severe pain and physical impairment, including an inability to stand or walk without difficulty. These symptoms have worsened and are now impacting my daily life. The vehicle is now completely inoperable and appears to have suffered a critical system malfunction, possibly involving its electric or software control systems. There were no warning lights or indicators before the failure. I believe this is a serious safety defect in the Ford Mach-E and could pose a danger to other drivers. I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate whether this is part of a broader pattern of defects affecting Ford’s EV line and take action to prevent further injuries or fatalities.

My 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E has experienced a complete failure of the front passenger door latch. The electronic latch (e-latch) button does not light up or respond, and the door remains fully open and cannot be latched or secured. This occurred without any damage or external cause. I’ve been informed that this issue requires full latch replacement at my expense, totaling over $760. I’m also aware of a pending recall (25S65) related to 12V discharge and door latch functionality, but I’ve been told my vehicle is not currently covered — even though the symptoms appear directly related. This is a safety-critical failure because the door cannot be secured while driving, creating a serious risk of passenger ejection in motion. This issue appears to be common among early Mach-E models and should be formally investigated.

I was driving my car like normal when a handful of warning signs popped up on the front screen and the brakes went out. I could only stop by pushing on the pedal with all my force, and it eventually slowed the car to a stop, but took an incredibly long distance to do so. A handful of warning lights popped on the screen when this happened: -Power train malfunction/reduced power - antilock brake fault - pre collision assist not available - hill start assist warning
