What's Your ONE THING for Ford to Improve?

[slambertr]

At least your one thing is something Ford has already acknowledged and said they would fix, so there’s that.

I’d like to see real-time power in and power out.

I hadn't seen that Ford acknowledged it - thank you for the heads up - I'm glad to hear (literally!).

Wait this isn’t a feature already? When I test drove the car at the dealer the cameras automatically popped up when I pulled back into the parking spot at the end. I remember making a comment how much I liked it. I assumed this was a feature. Now I’m kind of disappointed it’s not.

Only in reverse. Camera comes on automatically in reserve, which is great. But going forward it doesn't. (I should have stated that better.)

Cameras automatically come on when in reverse. The poster wants cameras on in drive whenever you're within 10 feet of an object even in drive, which would be good to have.

The front cameras do come on in drive when you get close to an object. I wish it would turn on sooner though.

Here are the details.

There are too many nagging software issues to pick just one. But, if forced, make ALL of the profile options actually stick and not revert.

The care is amazing to drive, but the ownership experience should not be nagged by software issues and workarounds.

OK, Mach E Owners - we know that Ford folks monitor this Forum, but with the Mach E, F-150 Lightning, Bronco, etc., they are busy peeps. So - what is the ONE THING you would ask Ford to improve or correct?
Me - fix the sound system Fader button - it automatically resets every time I start. I'm using the work-around described on another thread, but please - isn't that an easy OTA update? And - the fact that this is my "ONE THING" - let's you know I am enjoying my Mach E - it is an amazingly awesome driving/ownership experience.

My one thing relates to the FordPass app. There should be a way to open the frunk from the app (especially since the frunk is so hard to close and usually requires multiple tries for me).
Also you should be able to raise and lower the windows without being in bluetooth range, just as you can start the car without being in bluetooth range.

Okay, maybe that's two things.

I don't have my Mach-E yet but one thing I KNOW I will miss from my CRV is the camera that automatically came on when I turned on my right hand side blinker. I could also turn that camera on by pressing a button and it really helped me when driving 3+ hours a day in traffic. If I could have that on the Mach-E I think I would be happy.

That‘s coming.

I just went out and tested mine... you're right, I guess it does come on when the proximity beeps come on. I just rarely ever get that close, so I didn't even notice. ?

As you said, it comes on way too late though. We've already cleared the cars on either side and are 95% of the way into the parking spot by then. Or in our garage. Defeats most of the purpose of having that nifty overhead camera view.

So I guess the issue boils down to wanting a setting for how far out we want the camera to come on. Right now it seems like it's only a foot or two. A setting to choose 3', 6', or 10' for auto-camera would be nice.

Good news -- my fader is now sticking with my setting!

I'd like to have a roof rack option. I was expecting third party options but they haven't materialized yet.

I just want the ability to really turn of the alarm. I set it off at least twice a week.

Smoother ride. I find the ride very rough, especially between 30 and 50 MPH.
My old Jeep has a smoother ride.

I'd just like to get the car. Outlook is pretty grim and getting worse.
