My 2021 Select just died - the High Voltage Battery Junction Box had a stuck contactor and the car would no longer start. I got the bright idea to try and trade it in rather than wait for the repair to be complete. I really didn't have high hopes. McGovern Ford of Framingham MA gave me an...

I got the dreaded Stop Safely Now. 2021 Select. Car would not permit me to shift out of Park. Restarted several times. Had to have my car towed from an underground garage in downtown Boston. Fun experience. Called Ford Roadside Assistance via the app, specified a low clearance environment...

Fair warning, this is a complaint story. I'll try keep it brief because it's really just another complaint story about the sorry state of vehicle charging. Trip - Framingham MA to Rutland VT. Going Skiing at Killington - head up the night before to a hotel room in Rutland. -Leave home at 100%...

Noticed these nearly rusted-out clips on the tailgate lifters. This area must be getting water in it somehow. Anyone else noticed this? Know where I can get replacements?

The Mach E was featured prominently in S6 ep2 of the Netflix show Formula1 Drive to Survive. Caught a glimpse of Farley in the episode as well. Ford is apparently getting into F1 by supplying engines to Red Bull - nice to see they are getting in on the marketing opportunity.

...and I realized that's because my Mach E has been performing fine. I've had a nice, sustained period of nothing really being wrong. I've taken care of all of the recalls and the worst of the software glitches, including the windshield, and Ford finally fixed all of my issues with my front...

Threw the Noir filter on my shiny Carbonized Gray Select.

My front camera failed a few months back and my local ford dealer took an entire month to fix the problem. Over the ensuing months the sensor has failed intermittently while driving, causing an alert and disengagement and eventual recovery of all pre collision assist and cruise control. Now...

Rained here in New England for two days - beautiful Fall day today. Cleaned my car up nicely :) The sun hitting the awesome metal flake paint job on my Mach E really shows the flowing lines. Such a great design.

Saw this incendiary headline / EV hit piece today: 26 grand for a battery is a lot to ask. A lot of things come to mind. 1. Should EV insurance have electable coverage for battery failure? 2. Will extended warranty programs cover this at a reasonable rate? 3. Why is the cost so high? If...

My MME select is throwing the front camera fault warning again after it was already replaced. Took local dealer a full month to resolve the first instance. I’ve been very patient with this car because I love driving it but the recalls and repairs and concerns are starting to get to me.

I was driving through downtown Boston this morning and hit a DEEP pothole with my driver's side tire - suspension bottomed out with that sickening hard smash feeling, and the charge port door popped open! I had to laugh after I realized the warning alert I got was not a serious issue. The poor...

Yesterday I decided to go for a cruise in 100 degree heat. My car refused to let me switch to Unbridled mode for a good long time, and I suspect the extreme heat caused the car to take that mode off the table until things cooled down. Later in the trip I was able to switch, but not before the...

I took my most ambitious long range trip yet in my Mach E Select standard range. I went from Framingham MA to Hofstra University in Long Island, which required me to go down the Mass Pike, down I-84 through Connecticut, skirt the edge of NYC and go over the Throgs Neck bridge and back, in one...

Is there any way to tell when my car I scheduled to receive the patch? I know they do this in batches but I’ve been checking for it twice a day and I still don’t have it yet. Would love to know what group I’m in and when to expect it. Recall Announcement only said OTA starts mid July.

I saw a video recently of a guy modding a model 3 - he put the center screen on a swivel and added a screen behind the steering wheel where it belongs. I want to mod my interior. I hate the phone tray because it bothers my shin so I want to remove it completely, and it would kick ass to be...
