Hi, I have a 2021 Job 2 Mach E and I've been quite successful getting previous OTA updates. Recently an update called 23-PU0205-PR-FX was released for EU cars. I was especially eager to receive it since it allows for Android Auto to run in the bigger viewport. Almost two weeks ago I opened the...
The release notes in my car show Power Up 23-PU0205-PR-FX, but I don't see any changes in the UI. There was also no notification about the update, though I noticed that Estimated Range was reset and the car began to charge the battery over the set limit which I believe was related to the update...
I can also hear the rattle from somewhere behind the instrument cluster, but it's definitely not the screen itself. I think it's from the plastic trim on the dash. It comes and goes at random times, but I think it gets worse with time. For me it occurs even at low speeds, especially on rough...
This sounds more like a 3.* update, I'm pretty sure they would have mentioned the new UI. I hope, however, that the last update will at least make Android Auto work in stretch mode.
Well, if it wasn't the battery than I don't know what could have burnt like this.

This gives a little bit more information. I've translated the text from the screenshot:
"Ford Mach-e battery caught fire this afternoon. Firefighters extinguished and then cooled the cells for several dozen minutes. It took 2 hours in total. Consumption of several m3 of water. After measuring...
a. I don't think the cause was determined, I could not find any information on this. But it would be nice if Ford investigated this further.
b. Why? AFAIK this is how it is usually done with EVs and it seemed to work at least on this case.
Supposedly it started with the battery.
There is no charger at that gas station, which makes it quite clear that the car was not charging. Nobody got hurt and the fire was put out quickly. Still, very unfortunate, especially that there are not that many Mach-Es in Poland (745 sold in 2022)...
Interesting. Yesterday when I was driving everything froze including music on Android Auto. Backup camera actually still worked when putting the car in reverse but other than that the screen was completely unresponsive. At the time, I didn't do anything other than driving. I was actually more...
Mach E's PaaK worked great on my old OnePlus 6t but once I switched to Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, which is newer and much more powerful, it got much worse... Walk away lock works half of the times. When I approach the car it often takes a few seconds after I reach it for the app to connect. Also...
And even if the door did not lock for any reason, it would have been hard to drive away without a key because your also need a key to put it into Drive.
I noticed the same thing on mine today when plugging in. Before it also made some clicking noises but with a different timing.
Just recently I got the 22-PU0603-DC-CHG OTA update so maybe that's what caused it.
