Mach-E alarm going off every hour

[Rinehar7]

So ran into this issue the last couple night with my car. Every hour at the top of the hour my cars alarm will go off… I’ve turned off the motion sensors and everything and it still goes off…. Getting tired of having to hold my key fob in anticipation of the alarm going off. Any ideas why this this keep triggering? Read something in the manual about a battery alarm? Not sure what that is and if this related.

That’s a weird one. Haven’t heard of anything exactly like this. But there are other known problems with the alarm. I would suggest reading this thread and then thinking about whether your problem could possibly be caused by these issues.

Where do you park your car at night? I suspect something near the car might activating every hour and thereby somehow triggering the alarm. The Mach E alarm has a lot of problems - mainly keeping it deactivated - but I’ve never heard of it just going off every hour on the hour.

Well the have had my car for a week and the panic alarm has not gone off once….. annoying lol. They had me reconnect my car to the Ford Pass app to see if I get messages that it has triggered. They also removed the plug I have for my auto insurance. So I’m wondering if maybe it tried to update and didn’t like the plug being installed on the car while it tried to update.

I am having the same issue with my 2023 GT. The alarm goes off so much and I do what you do as well.
My car is parked in the garage, but has gone off when parked in the garage and when parked in a shopping center randomly as well; haven't found a solution yet.
Let me know if you figure it out!

Exactly the same issue for me. Dealer diagnosis indicated door module issue. But this alarm issue persists after the module was replaced. Have you fixed it? Thanks!

They need to update the door latch modules (4x), not just replace them.

And there's a TSB for it the dealer should be following
