Agreed 100%
My Mach-E GT has become a pretty expensive errand vehicle. Highway efficiency is only about 2.2 mi/kWh which translates to about 200 miles of range on a full battery. My V8 Dodge Charger goes 370 miles on the same route at same flow of traffic speed!
As you said, I am so glad that...
@Ford Motor Company has lost their way. Once upon a time the instrument panel used to be focused on what is important to the human driver, now it's focused on self driving.
It's really strange that Ford opted to have customers go into dealerships to have this issue resolved rather than push out the OTA update and leave the in-person interactions to those who still experience the problem after the update.
Thank you for posting the bulletin, I just got the message on my FordPass. I saw the P0C2F-92 code and have been getting the "1 Pedal Drive Fault" message.
Hopefully you will be ok and not have to deal with this nonsense. Yup, not too many places you can do WOT where you are. Back in the day I-78 between I-287 and EWR was the unofficial racetrack of the Garden State.
I gave up my SRT Dodge Charger for this Mach-E. That Charger faced some strenuous conditions and still ran like a champ. It wouldn't blow up even if I tried. I'm not in my happy place.
A contactor is to an EV as a fuel pump is to an ICE vehicle. It is in effect a single point of failure. A component as such should be designed well above minimum specifications.
When Ford realized the issue back in 2022, they should have at the least redesigned the high-voltage battery housing...
That may be so, but it still is not very good customer satisfaction. I purchased a brand new vehicle thinking I would have peace of mind and not have to worry about major mechanical issues so soon. My Mach-E is barely 1 year old and just in the 12K mile mark. When I consider my automobile...
I purposely waited for the 2023 model year because it was publicized that the recall was only for 2021 & 2022. It's pretty upsetting to learn that Ford continued (and possible is still continuing) to use a known-faulty element is their vehicles.
This is really a type of brand damage for Ford. The question is do they really care? I personally wouldn't put good money behind bad money and buy a newer model.
