My car was at the dealership recently to replace the windshield wiper fluid sensor. According to the server docs, they had to remove large portions of stuff under the windshield to get to this sensor (and basin.) A week or two later, and I've noticed that there's a...
Almost 2 months ago, I was backing out of a parking spot and someone else backed into me. It was a VERY low speed hit (and thankfully the other person took responsibility.) Here's a picture taken right afterwards:
Their insurance adjuster came to my house and looked it over. The initial...
A few decades ago, in response to some comments made by Bill Gates, GM made a comical press release describing what cars would be like if MS made them. I won't get into the full list of quips, but they included things like:
This reminds me of our Mach-E's.
1. The car does seem to crash (or...
I needed to drive from the Pittsburgh, PA region to Philadelphia, PA area (and then back.) It was mostly an uneventful trip, but wanted to mention a few things...
The trip was 313 miles each way (including jumping off the highway to recharge.)
The trip going East was on Thursday, Aug 8th and...
Posting this in case anyone else experiences it...
SYMPTOMS:
This morning, my car was no longer talking to FordPass. The SOC wasn't being updated and the remote start (start climate control) wasn't working. I really didn't think too much about it. FordPass isnt' exactly the most robust s/w...
uh oh...
I'm getting a "Service Vehicle Soon" message on the instrument panel when I start the car. No other messages, but I haven't tried to drive it yet. A DTC scan with Car Scanner is showing P0AA1(68) on the BECM. FordPass isn't showing any error/message, but it IS updating with the...
Friday (July 5th) my dealership replaced the rear drivers side window in my Mach-E. (They scratched the glass when removing the window sticker - so were replacing it.) Today (July 8th) I had someone in that back seat for the first time (since the glass was replaced) and we discovered that the...
While my Mach-E GT is technically over a year old, I've only owned it for a bit over a month. (It was dealer stock the rest of the time.) Instead of the same old boring drive to/from work, I wanted to let the Mach-E stretch it's legs a bit today. I was curious about driving for a while with...
My car's build date was 6/28/2023. My wife jokingly suggested we should have a birthday party for it today. What do you get for a car that has everything?
Quick OTA question:
I had an OTA downloading (Updates page showed "Updates Downloading") but I had to turn off the car. Will that update continue to download with the car off, or will it abort and retry the next time I start the car? (The update was ECG-24.2.4.9)
TL;DR: Enabling Phone as a Key might leave your Mach-E (or at least possessions inside the Mach-E) vulnerable to theft.
I was browsing the Mach-E manual earlier today and noticed a specific sentence that got me thinking:
That got me wondering if a long PAAK range could result in a thief...
I've seen a bunch of conflicting information... I'm the proud owner of a new 2023 GT (Job 1.) The build date was June 28th 2023. The car came with a mobile charger, but there was no mention of it on the window sticker. The sticker showed "bluecruise 1.2" as a standard feature, but no mention...
