My understanding is that the Ford mobile charger that came with the car is not adjustable but only pulls 30 amps when plugged into a 50 amp outlet.

Thinking of taking our Mach-E a little bit out of the way this summer and researching the feasibility. Two questions: I found an RV campground where we can rent a spot that offers a reasonable rate for just using the electricity at the spot and none of the other amenities. They say the spot has...

I suspect you're right that to the extent that she felt that she could get safely around until our appointment at the dealer, it was probably reduced assistance rather than a complete loss of power steering. It was a reminder of how interconnected the systems are on a modern car. Back in 2020...

It's a good question @StangByME --I'm going by my wife's report that "the steering wheel is very hard to turn." I don't really know if that meant the car wasn't providing power assistance to steering, or the loss of the sensor was confusing the car and it was trying to work against her, or...

Making this post to assist anyone in the future who runs into a problem where power steering goes out coincident with a slew of errors such as Blind Spot Detection with Cross Traffic, Hill Start Assist Warning, Antilock Brake Fault, and Pre-Collision Assist Not Available. The first thing I did...

Same; it's never worked in my 2021, either.

I recently was stuck at 10kw at an Electrify America fast charger. It generated a Service Vehicle Soon which turned out to be a bad cell in the high voltage battery. The SVS message did go away the next day, though I did still take it in and they replaced the bad cell. I don't know if a bad cell...

I'd be grateful if someone would look up 3FMTK3RM4MMA09295. Yesterday on a roadtrip headed home, it refused to fast charge faster than 10 kwh and threw up two SVSs: High-Voltage Battery Warning and a Powertrain Malfunction. Drove home fine despite all the extra icons on the dash, and everything...

Never mind; upon further reflection, the dealer decided that the 12V was the culprit after all.

Alas, I'm in Minneapolis with a standard range RWD 2021 (thus not subject to the recall) and our HVBJB failed on Tuesday during the bitter cold. Dealer is replacing it now.

This is timely. I have a 2021 Premium standard range. I don't fast charge very often, but we did a couple of times this weekend. Last night after we arrived home, it threw several errors, including a high voltage battery warning, but the errors seem to be phantoms. It did this once during the...

Cool; thank you!

I've experienced the same issue, though for me the change happened at least a year ago. During the first half of my car's life, when I reduced the volume while Google Maps was giving directions, it stayed down for subsequent instructions. Nowadays and for a long time, it pops back up to 6 or 7...

My wife has reported a couple of Service Vehicle Soon messages over the past few days in our '21 Premium. Nothing of note in FordPass and the Ford dashboard says the vehicle is in good health. If anyone who has access has a spare moment, I'd appreciate knowing if there are any codes or...

After 2 1/4 years, our roof cracked. It wasn't clear why (no particular signs of rock impact, but who knows). This puts the roof squarely in the "one more thing to worry about" category, which is a first for me when it comes to car roofs. On the other hand, my insurance covered 100% of the...
