Suspension Fault Detected and other issues

[Mach-E GT PE Jim]

Sensors cannot fix themselves if they're out of whack when they're fired up. See it all the time. No don't know automotive equipment but much other instrumentation. Funny how so when you took him to the dealer was your fault active on the screen? Cuz otherwise dealers are going to do the typical. Oh no fault. Yep no problem. It's good. Also just curious what is the part that they're replacing that they feel is bad.

The vehicle dynamics module. Yes the fault was on the screen this time. The first time it was not.

Yea Google fix that for me when it should not have. Sensors can fault on boot up and then when a adjustment or a spec is in it can clear fault. But mine has not stayed but the 1 time and would need it to stay on and be locked on to where it won't clear on restarts or warm weather otherwise you know all looks good and it has been fine like I said, except for when I park it on the lakefront at work during the extreme cold nights/days

Sad news on my end. After they replacing the “faulty module”, the test came back showing faults again and again. After 6m’s of issues, Ford has offered to buy it back. I was one who placed an original order in Nov 19, receiving in Late Aug 21 a fully loaded GTPE and now I’ve got to let it go. ? I was also the guy who said “it won’t fix itself”. I guess it won’t be fixed ever and I didn’t even get more than 3k miles on it. No joy here in Mudville. As for what I’ll replace it with, not another MME.

Sorry for your loss. Hopefully something positive will come of it.

I am so sorry to hear that too. I completely understand the frustration and I don’t know if I would want to wait another who knows how many months before they could get you another MME.

Don’t be a stranger. We would be very interested in what you decide to get to replace it.

Robert. You ordered a GT PE in November 2019? And, it got delivered in August? What dealer have you been working with? I'm also in the Denver area. My experience has been very different than yours, but have had some bad experience trying to order from Phil Long in Denver.

No one ordered any Mach-E in November 2019. However quite a few of us placed reservations to get in line to order, starting from the evening of November 17.

This is horrible news….
after I get my module I will post what happened. Ugh. (I am over 4000 miles) but want more.

Yeah, being a Mach E owner is like Congress not knowing what’s in a bill. You don’t know what’s in it until you read it. I have no idea what the “snow” mode is but the little snowflake alert is telling me somethings there. I’ll get it into the techs again soon.

It’s a safety feature letting you know it’s cold enough to cause ice to form on your roads. This is not a fault warning.

I'm really troubled by these posts, as they go back 6 months or more, and I'm not seeing any resolutions. I just got my GT PE less than 3 weeks ago.

Wife drove it 3 states away to visit her mom, and *of course* these suspension errors (both) pop up for no apparent reason (other than it was cold?)
Has anyone gotten a resolution to this?
The car has less than 600 miles on it.
Ford has not figure out what is causing this?

Any and all updates would be greatly appreciated.

Mine hasn't come back for months. I had it a few times over a couple of weeks. Brought it to the dealer, they didn't find anything, saw the error once or twice more and never again so far.

Strange happenings, I demanded my car back from the dealer even though they told me it wasn’t fixed. The ride home was terrible. It was completely not allowing reverse assist or side monitoring and on top of that, limiting full power to about a second. I was ready to drive it into a wall! I then charged it at home and it righted itself. Still has a few nagging issues but I had a blast with it today on a 105 mile joy ride through some mountain roads.

So ours was gone by the next morning. DW is going to drive back 400 miles and Hopefully this doesn't come up on her trip. Thanks for the update. Sounds like its a sensor glitch. Many thanks for the update.

Wow, this is so weird, particularly the other secondary issues. I'm really glad it cleared up for you. Im guessing you arent getting rid of it/selling it back (yet?). Please keep us posted as you seem to have the worst symptoms of all. Thanks for alerting us to this and for keeping us up to date.

Ok, fingers crossed - the Ford dealer installed the vehicle dynamics module yesterday 3/7/22 and ran it through some paces. Kept it overnight and left it in the cold to see if they would get a suspension fault. So far so good. The software must have been Updated as there are a few new things on the screen.
