In the text describing the reason for the 22S41 Safety Recall Ford describes some of the conditions that may cause main contactor overheating to include repeated DC fast charging and repeated use of wide open throttle (WOT.)
Some users posted that they use WOT all the time. I can probably...
I didn't see a thread just for recording results from recall work, so I'll start one and please remove or move if my search-fu was just not working today.
Just got my car back from having the windshield/roof recall work done by my dealer. They also performed about a half dozen software updates...
I've been putting off taking the car in for the recall service for personal reasons, but last week a rock came off a truck I was following and hit my windshield on the passenger side. Within 24 hours a small chip had grown into a foot-long crack. I called the dealer to arrange the recall...
Just completed first long drive from Phoenix to N California. GreAt car on the road, no major issues, no charging issues, but one bit of weirdness with the navigation system. In the LA area we were cruising along on highway 14 through Palmdale when the nav system wanted us to exit and take a 30...
I've read other owners posting about "Service Vehicle Soon" messages and the repairs that followed, dreaded seeing the same on my MME. Today I sort of did.
Driving down a mostly deserted long straight city street with a 45 MPH speed limit, I engaged ICC just for fun. The car did its normal...
Very interesting technology

There is a little of this attitude on this forum, but a lot more of it in other social media. The statements usually go something like, "I read about a lot of Mach-E owners having problems. I would not be happy if I paid that much for a car and had problems,"
Besides the obvious answer of...
As a male who has been driving for over 50 years I never read automobile owners manuals. I might look things up when I need to - like how to change a cabin air filter or something - but I know how to drive. When I get a new ICE vehicle I get in and drive. When I sold my last pure ICE vehicle...
I wondered if others are seeing this strange behavior in Google Maps via Car Play or if it's just me doing something wrong.
On my iPhone X running iOS 14.7.1 by itself, Google Maps works great. It orients to the direction the phone is facing and gives good navigation directions. However, when...
Ever since the second day of ownership I have been hearing an annoying rattle in the car, but only on certain rougher roads. It sounded like something in the dash was loose, or something was banging around inside the glove box (which was empty) or some loose bit of dash trim was rattling like...
My local utility here in Arizona is the Salt River Project. They offer a $1000 rebate to electric vehicle purchasers. I applied for it, sending in the required application and copies of my purchase agreement and registration. I received an email back from them that my purchase agreement...
I'm sure this appeals to some people. To me, not in the slightest. One reason why I bought an electric vehicle is so it would be more quiet on the road. The fake engine noise is off in my car.
Yours?
Putting the problem of PaaK not working for some people aside as a "known issue" that Ford will fix eventually, I would like to request a feature be added to the Ford Pass software. For security reasons, I would like the option of enabling PaaK only if the phone is unlocked, meaning if I (or...
I would love if the @Ford Motor Company rep on this forum might chime in.
I purchased a second key fob for my MME and was charged for the fob PLUS $49.99 for the emergency key blade insert. Today I took the fob that came with the car in to the dealer's Parts Dept. to get the new blade cut to...
