We still love our Mach-E. It's fun, fast and the technology is awesome! Although we have to pay for charging in our home (no solar) our PGE bill has seen an increase of about $300 or less depending on use. Gas consumption before was around 1000 or more a month so huge savings right there alone. Not to mention the maintenance being next to nothing as well.
-- 1st wrench light/ issue August 2021 (13,291) vehicle was parked, would not go into gear or move and then completely died. Dealer was unable to diag, just recharged 12v Battery. This ended up being the 12v Battery issue.
-- 1st HVJB replacement January 2022 (27,298) was out of town 6+ hours away and stranded on Christmas eve. The 12v battery was also replaced at this time as it had been deemed defective.
*******This was a bad experience, however Ford did take care of a monthly payment and also paid for all the rental costs etc. nothing out of pocket other than 30 days worth of gas for a Kia Optima. They even paid for the flight for us to go pick it back up.*******
-- BlueCruise downloaded the week before going in for the windshield recall. A total of 16 months after purchase, we finally had it.
-- Windshield recall/ pano roof reseal in July 2 2022 (43,214), went well new windshield out of it as well.
-- 2nd HVJB (updated part this time) in July 12 2022 (44,097), was only out of service 1 week.
Now at 68,091 miles the only maintenance we have done is tire rotations (every 5-7500 miles) so this could have possibly helped extend the tire life. Wipers, and windshield washer fluid. We will not have to do the 100k fluid change for the coolant as it was done twice already with the HVJB replacements at 27k and again at 44k.
OTD updates have been coming in regularly since the BlueCruise update last year, just got 3 alone this month!
Overall, great car for our needs and we are still using the mobile charger to charge the car every night at home. Not sure of the battery life as the distance seems to still be the same, so nothing notable on the degradation of the battery. At least as of yet.
