  1. Ford is watching your 12v

    I received two texts about the 12v, so I called my local dealer, Paso Robles Ford, and their Mobile Service was at my home in less than 45 minutes to replace the battery and do some system updates.
  2. No Frunk for 2026?

    After over four years I haven't used the frunk once.
  3. Anyone done Ford Mobile Service with Mach-E?

    I had the Mobile Service at Paso Robles Ford come out last Thursday to do the two open recalls. Shaun Farmer was the tech and spent three hours updating all the modules since his van is equipped with StarLink. It was outstanding and very friendly service. My only complaint is the the updates...
  4. 60,000 mile checkin (2021 Mach-E Select AWD w SR battery @ 5 yrs)

    August marked my 4th year with my 2021 Premium 4EX. Even if I had an unlimited amount of money I wouldn't purchase another vehicle to replace it. A software update at my dealer (Paso Robles Ford) a year ago took care of the few minor issues that bothered me. I due wish it had a smother ride...
  5. SIDE MIRROWS - HARD TO SEE - blind spot

    This is available at O'Reily Auto. I rarely have to turn my head to know my surroundings. A glance will do. Freeway on-ramps are where it is most useful.
  6. EVs are more likely to sustain rear-end damage

    My dad taught me to have one car length distance for every 10 mph that I'm driving. Every day I see dozens of drivers with one car length between them and the vehicle in front of them at 75 mph.
  7. EVs are more likely to sustain rear-end damage

    Another reason I don't use 1PD. From Green Car Reports: https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1145020_evs-are-in-different-kinds-of-fender-benders-claims-data-reveals EVs tend to be newer, meaning they're more likely to have the latest front-collision avoidance tech. The company also cited the...
  8. Original 2021 Owners - Check In

    I've been a happy clam since August 2021. Beside the 12v battery alerts that were eliminated this year, I've had zero issues. I have turned off all the features that I never wanted in the first place.
  9. Whisper/Engaged/Unbridled - Which Mode Is Best For You and Why?

    Always Whisper, 2PD and no sound. I focus on coasting as much as I can with every vehicle I drive. It saves the brakes on ICE cars and is just as efficentl (if not more) than other modes in EVs. With Whisper, I don't have to change my habits when I drive our RDX or my ME. I'm also able to...
  10. 3 Year Ownership Report

    I'm at 19K miles. I've driven to destinations more than 200 miles away only five times. The ME is perfect for my normal daily commutes. We use our 2019 Acura RDX for most long trips.
  11. Has anyone with a 2021 found a fix

    I took my '21 into the dealer for the first time 3 weeks ago. I was also getting constant 12v warnings. The technicians reset the BMS, performed IPMA alignment and reprogramed the battery charge control module. The Mach-E has performed perfectly ever since., still operating on its original...
  12. 3 Year Ownership Report

    The 12v was at 57% when I brought it to the dealer. They did not replace it, but the reprogramming the technician did seems to keep it, he says, at 80% or above. I have not received any messages about low battery voltage since the dealer visit. While I was able to see the 12v voltage level on...
  13. 3 Year Ownership Report

    After three years with my Mach-E, I still couldn’t be happier. There is no other vehicle on the market that I wished I had purchased instead. The only headaches I’ve experienced over the past year were the “12v battery fault”, “System shut down to save battery” warnings and text messages. These...
  14. Ford's "Mustang" Gamble Has Paid Off

    " For the Semons, there doesn’t seem to be much of an issue with the Mach-E not being a “true” Mustang. For all intents and purposes, it is. Michael says the EV is a great complement to the Mustang GT convertible they also own, and they enjoy getting the Mach-E up to speed, along with its...
