Does your MME have the 22S41 update and is it displaying the “Service Vehicle Soon “ message? If yes to both, you likely have a soon to be failing HVBJB.

I am assuming you have had the recall done already. If so, that could be the warning about an impending HVBJB failure. If it were me, I would drive it home if I were 100 miles away. I would also reach out here to see if one of the members here can run you VIN to see what the error codes are to tell for sure.

It was updated this morning and it says service vehicle soon.

That is just FordPass. Barely a usable piece of software on a good day.
If you don't have any error messages in the car then I would drive it home.

Agree on driving it and make an appointment. When home, shut it down and wait 10 minutes and power up. See what happens.

Sounds like an HVBJB soon to fail warning. Send your VIN to one of the forum’s FDRS experts like @DevSecOps sp he can pull the codes to confirm. If you already have the 22S41 update you should be able to drive many hundreds of miles without harm (just not at full throttle).

It’s on the car too. I just drove it around and it feels slower.

Not knowing your situation, area and opportunity for finding assistance....take this with a grain of salt.

If I was 100 miles from home with your symptoms. I would disconnect the negative cable of the 12v battery (at the chassis ground point). Wait 3-5 min and reconnect. If the car starts with no codes then I would drive home. Preferrably without stopping. Do you have enough charge to make it?

I am a bit of a risk taker though....

Good luck, I hope you reach home and then get the car in for a new HVJB. If you already had the recall update, then you should be able to drive it home
