Panic call from my wife! driving the Mach e

[PilotMark]

I'm the technical one and ok maybe a geek and I am definitely the car person in our relationship. She loves the car but is not technical. She did feel overwhelmed with all the options the Mach e presents.
She's out on a real estate call and at the end of the business showed the car to one of her clients. She does like showing it off.
So her meeting is over and she's done showing off the car and is back in the car ready to leave and the car is making a continuous clicking sound.
She calls me in a panic. What did the car do? This clicking is just going on and on. I ask if she's in danger where she's parked or any other issues. She is still in the clients driveway and as soon as she started the car this clicking sound started and did not stop. Stay calm, which is not always easy when she is panicking.
I ask her to stop so I can hear the clicking. Very regular and a light click not a 400 volt bam click. then I ask what the dash instruments are telling her. First response is nothing. Then she laughs and tells me the instrument cluster is telling her she's going to turn left.

A good laugh at both ends of that call.

As usual, low blinker fluid is to blame.

This is the best problem "complaint" I have ever read.

You have to use the Ford EV Synthetic Blinker Fluid on the Mach-E!

Obviously the radio was not turned up loud enough.

I was told it needed to be Premium, can I switch to Regular?

That's pretty great, and glad it ended with a laugh. I so often drive with music or a podcast going, pretty much from power on, that I have had those moments where I realize I didn't even know what the blinker sounded like on a vehicle I had for a few months. A lot of newer vehicles I have had, mostly Ford, I think the blinker sound is kind of quiet. It seems there are so many people just not using them because the sound bothers them I suspect it's an intentional choice.

Any dealership will gladly replace it for you ?

OMG! My dad always told my mom to turn up the radio when she thought there was a "funny noise", too!

Calling malarkey, no one can hear the Mach-E turn signal lol

 

[mburtsvt]

Like I tell people who are following me "Shut the h** up - I'm going to turn left----eventually.

This was my laugh for the day! Had to share it with the wife, and she could relate.

So you’re obviously going to call the dealer and report the unintended lane change stalk module needs replaced along with the turn signal coolant pump timing module. No way that just happened on its own. And you’ll find out it’s a 20 week back order
Jes sayin. I feel your pain click click click click click click click click.

My wife and your wife are the same, so we both got a good laugh reading your post.
