List of insignificant little flaws of Mach-E

• It bounces to much on uneven roads

I like it

1. Weird unlocking sequence when trying to load the trunk first and then enter the car. When I open a trunk, load it, close it and try to open a driver door right away it does not work right away. I need to try several times to have it open. I already discussed this annoyance in a different thread. Somebody suggested me a walkaround - always hit the driver door button first and then open the trunk.
2. Poorly designed charging port
   no way to lock the charging port and the charger hooked up to the car. The first problem caused the charger door pop open by itself in the automatic car wash. The second problem makes it possible to steal or unhook the charger without your permission.
3. Power outlets.
   There is a cigarette lighter socket on the front row (extra USB would be more appropriate) . Lack of USB in the trunk area and lack of 12v in the frunk area. Lack of 110V outlet.
4. Battery monitoring
   lack of information about the current battery state (state of degradation, how much kWh do you have left, level of battery usage and recuperation during acceleration and slowing down, etc)
5. AC controls
   Non-intuitive hard to use HVAC system controls at the same time some hard buttons that take space but almost never used. Doesn't make much sense from the ergonomics standpoint.

will be updating the list in the process of learning my car

Android Phone constantly loses connection with sync... what a pain in the A$$!

Android Phone constantly loses connection with sync... what a pain in the A$$!

What phone do you have. I've never had this problem

In no particular order:

Software

• Inability to have Recirculate stay on for more than just a few minutes
• Difficulty of getting to the Recirculate button (two to three screens down)
• Slowness of Sync4A
• That damned Alexa logo (there better not be more coming @Ford Motor Company)
• Finickyness of the Frunk and Trunk releases via the app (sorry Job 1 2021 owners!)
• The fact that my 2022 has all the parts for hands-free lift gate access but it's not enabled

Hardware

• Poorly designed/implemented non-locking charging door and inability to lock J1772 charger connectors to car while charging
• Lack of hard button for opening liftgate (a more easily accessible soft button would suffice)
• Weird design of physical frunk lever (I mean, where are you supposed to grip than dang thing?)
• Lack of 110V outlets
• Lack of the ability to use the Mach E to power my house (even though it's an available feature in the F150)
• The stupid battery jump locations
• The limited adjustments of the front seats
  • up/down, but only the entire seat bottom, not independent front/back adjustments for seat bottom
  • seat bottom is too short for my legs (my Volvo had an extending portion to the seat bottom, as did my Mazda 35 years ago)
  • No lumbar up/down
• No seat ventilation
• No seat massage
• The way the seatbelts get in the way when the rear seats are folded down, yet aren't retained in anything more than the most slight guide such that it's very easy for the belts to get behind the seats and then crammed into the setback retaining lock
• The odd fit of the rear cargo compartment protection mat
• The lack of protection mats for the rear seat backs
• The ease of nicking the paint
• The lack of a decent Ford bumper protection option
• The lack of Magneride as an option independent of the rest of the PE package
• I'd love it if the Frunk were a bit larger, especially front to back
• The odd thing the OP mentioned about temporary lockout after opening the trunk (doesn't happen often to me, but shouldn't ever happen)
• Lack of a hidden key for dead battery vehicle access (yes I know about the oh so convenient use-a-12V-battery-to-open-the-frunk-to-charge-the-car-stuff)

This is off the top of my head and dinner's getting cold, so I'll leave it at that.

EDIT: I should add that overall I love the car and think it is amazing.

when I ordered in mid 2019 I was certain Ford would offer an array of roof accessories. Truly shocking and unfortunate that they designed an "SUV" with no regard for roof cargo. A factory tow hitch (for bike racks, not for towing) is another big fail.

Lack of seat ventilation truly is a big bummer. Once you've had a car with ventilated seats, it becomes kind of baffling that every car doesn't have them. Sigh.

The double honk when walking away from the car when it's still on.

One thing that bothers me is the fact I cannot lock the charging port door. Anyone can open it or it could open itself with high water pressure wash.

Oh I have seen a nice charging port cap on Amazon but I can't find it now. lol

Wait, you have Tic Tac Toe in a Job2 GT Car!

How?

It came with it already when I bought it. Maybe because it’s a GT? I had BlueCruise from day 1 too

Arizona says wassup. No chilled seats ?

I don’t understand why they have seat heaters …every human being has their own seat heater in their body it’s called …..flatulence

Jes sayin. It would be nice on those 120° days FMC

Poorly designed charging port
no way to lock the charging port and the charger hooked up to the car. The first problem caused the charger door pop open by itself in the automatic car wash.

Has this happened to anyone else? That seems like a major problem if it were to happen frequently.

 

[ripperAZ]

The major complaints HAIKU
5-7-5

A/C controls seem hidden
Flimsy charging door
Hey Frunk let’s man up….

jes sayin

uff if you get to find it again please let me know. Thanks.

The steering wheel does not tilt down far enough which makes it nearly impossible to have a low/performance oriented seating position

The steering wheel does not telescope far enough. Not ideal for us with long legs

I second this. For us that are a bit taller then average. Eventhough I have some room for my head, I feel a little cramped with my legs in this car.

Fordpass... that app is so bad IMHO.

Sync 4A should have a more intuitive UI and be more snappy.
