I have laminated windows also.

The no-kick-open is the same dishonest “lie by omission” that the 5 second rule is… dirty

I am on the phone with Ford CS right now and they tried to bounce me from one department to another.

They can't take away a feature/part that they agree to provide and give no credit ... This is FALSE advertising. I am hoping they get sued for this fraud.

Ford, if you are listening or watching ... This is NOT right. You have to give us back the credit to install at a later time. Can't simply take away.
Unfortunately, the car wasn't sold to you from the factory. It was sold to the dealership. You then purchased it from the dealer, who can set the price at whatever they want (to an extent). Unless the window sticker on the car says that it should have a hands free tailgate then they didn't sell you something that you don't have. You purchased the car as per the built specs, not per the ordered specs (if it was even included then). You could have refused the purchase, but you didn't.

Here's the thread where it was talked about being deleted: https://www.macheforum.com/site/thr...-from-2022-mach-e-built-on-after-jan-3.13628/

I have it on 2021 MME built in late June. Trust me you don't want it. I turned mine off as it kept opening when my foot was no where near the thing. Appeared to happen anytime it rained or anytime there was a puddle anywhere near it or slippery road. That's just waiting for a crash/lawsuit to happen.

weird. definitely glad i have two power seats in front for 2022. They also said they were eliminating the laminated front door windows and I’m happy to report my ‘22 built 03/18 has them.
Laminated is the replacement, they stop shipping acoustic side windows.

It was removed because it randomly opened. Lots of posts here about this issue.

Mine opened while sitting in the garage with the garage door closed and no one in the garage. My wife later opened the garage door and my hatch back lifted with the garage door scraping the paint. I immediately turned that feature off and will never turn it on again. I'd give you mine if I could but you really don't want it. Be glad they turned it off for you.

I don’t think this was it, there are lots of Fords with this feature, it’s been around for a while, not a new tech, they have not pulled it from all their vehicles if they gave up and were pulling the plug.

Mine works great for opening. But for closing I only have 1/3 chance getting it work.

I'll miss it on my 22 model.

Also, why auto park is a feature they hold up order or give you refund but not this one?

I don't know, maybe they think the tailgate thing can be fixed with an OTA update or something. Yes mine also had issues closing too. Kinda seems like they shipped it with overly sensitive motion sensor or whatever it is and then did an OTA that turned it down way to much. My hands aren't that preoccupied that I need it. Autopark too was fairly useless by the time it got around to actually parking I could've parked in the same spot like 3 times. But hey I'm not paying for gas, that's way more important to me.

I originally ordered a CART1 but ended up buying a Premium. I was excited about the power lift gate, but it only took me a few hours to wish I had the kick feature. I literally had my hands full at the back hours after I bought the car. It’s comforting knowing it didn’t work well. Makes me feel batter about it’s removal.

I was really annoyed when they removed park assist. Funny enough, the car I bought has it, and now I’m wondering when I’ll actually use it. The 360 cameras have solved all my parking troubles. I haven’t used park assist yet, so I’m starting to believe all the folks that said it was useless.

If this is a guess, please state it as such. This is how rumors start.
I didn't state it as a guess because it's not a guess. Search the forum, there are lots of testimony about random opening of the rear hatch.

So it's a known fact that this is the reason it was removed for 2022? Please site the source of this fact.

Hey, OP, you might actually have the sensor hardware installed in your car. If so, it looks fairly easy to enable the feature yourself.
Check out this thread:
https://www.macheforum.com/site/thr...ands-free-liftgate-back-to-2022-mach-e.16407/

I peeked in the rear bumper with my phone camera and am 99% sure I see the module. My car built 4/8/22 and delivered 5/11/22. I have $35 interface cable ordered that should show up today so I will know for sure soon.
