    DTC Code B1452:11 -- Seems like my 12V battery and lift gate woes are related?

    I just got my Mach-E back from service which was to replace my 12V battery for abnormal levels of drain. I had reported sometime back in this thread with my concerns about my 12V battery dropping state of charge by 15-20% overnight regularly...

    Worrisome body control bug? Frunk and Rear lift gate popped open on their own

    Two days ago I encountered what I imagine as some form of software glitch or inadvertently-triggered behavior with my vehicle (2021 Mach-E GTPE). I had just backed in to a parking spot and placed the vehicle in park. I hit the power-off button and on doing so, vehicle shut down as expected...

    Is 12V battery covered until warranty? What's a healthy voltage?

    I've been gettin more 12V battery fault messages with "Plug in to maintain 12V battery" messages on FordPass. I suspect this combined with more frequent "going to sleep" modes appearing on the Sync center console indicate an unhealthy 12V battery. Popped my hood, annoyingly removed all the...

    Rear lift gate not unlocking sometimes. Anybody else have this issue?

    I am not sure if I'm facing a software problem or a mechanical one. Sending out feelers in case anybody else has seen the same. Recently I've been encountering situations where upon unlocking the vehicle (usually by PaaK, but sometimes also by door key code), all the passenger doors unlock and...

    Do transient trouble codes (Service Vehicle Soon) prevent power-up updates?

    My last Power-Up update was 3.5.4.2 back in November last year. Hoping that I get the latest Sync UX update as I've heard some people are getting them. Just curious if anybody knows whether transient trouble codes will prevent power-updates from happening until I get a Ford dealer to clear the...

    1PD System Fault/Service Vehicle Soon while traveling - Am I screwed?

    I'm presently on a road trip about 150 miles from home, out of country (traveling in US though I live in CA). I finished a DC Fast charge up to 90% and was driving around the hills of Seattle. I think I did something silly at a light where I needed to switch into another lane so I shifted to...

    Rear power lift gate failed to stop/bounce back on obstruction (one time)

    Something odd happened to me today. I was finishing some cleanup in the back of my Mach-E and hit the power close button on the rear lift gate. Then I remembered there was one more thing I wanted to grab. Instead of hitting the button to stop the lift gate from coming down, I just put my hand up...

    Am I an a**hole? Why do I feel like one? (Reporting door ding to insurance)

    The other day I was picking up one of my kids from gymnastics and I parked in a 70%-full lot. I have a tendency to baby my CO Mach-E and strategically park my car for the most part. I'm a little early and waiting in the car with my other child. In comes a Tesla Model 3 (yes, I'm making a point...

    I put down a deposit for EV6. Don't hate me!

    Given the global supply chain/chip chaos, I decided to put down a deposit for the Kia EV6. It's not even an order at this point, but it just gets me in line to place an order once the dealer has an allocation. Most likely I'll be ordering for a 2024 model. I still have an opportunity to choose...

    Dramatic front tire wear at 10,000km on GT PE?

    At roughly 6,200 miles does this not seem like really drastic front tire wear compared to the rear? I know the compound is soft, but I found this surprising and maybe an indicator that I should rotate now. I have tires inflated to 41 psi all around and do regular flat city driving and very...

    How do I make it easier to open the frunk from my iPhone?

    [Apologies to those who don’t have remote frunk access yet. I promise I’m not here to rub salt on your wounds!] I use my frunk quite a lot. It’s great for groceries and takeout that I don’t want smelling up the cabin. Generally, approaching my car I have to pull out my phone, open up FordPass...

    Can I expect the 22S41 fix to arrive OTA after getting 2.8.3?

    I've gotten 3 OTA updates successfully delivered/installed for me over the last week! Pretty impressive given that it was radio silence for the last 5 months (following the BlueCruise maps/GWM update). First was Power-Up 2.8.2, then two days later the patch fix to that, and a day after I got...

    Getting CAA/AAA membership to protect from HVBJB failure... thoughts?

    Summer is here and I plan on taking some family trips and camping trips within the ~200km range. That being said, I dread the thought of being stranded on the road with a HVBJB failure. Even worse would be to in stuck a location that is distant both to my home as well as to a Ford dealership...

    Did you know you can screenshot Apple CarPlay?

    I just discovered this! When your iPhone is connected to Apple CarPlay and you take a screenshot, it captures two images — one of your phone’s screen, the second of your CarPlay screen. Kinda neat if you ever want to show people what you have on your car’s center screen!

    My Mach-E did this by itself today! (self-parking)

    There was a parallel parking spot on a neighborhood street, and the only remaining spot for quite a ways. As I'm coming from a bit of a smaller car, I didn't quite trust myself to do without a bit of tenseness. So I gave the self-park feature a shot. It worked flawlessly. The Mach-E did it in a...

    Frunk open button on Sync screen available only when vehicle is powered on. Why??

    I wish the frunk was generally easier to get to. So I noticed that the frunk opening button on the "Access tab" of the Sync console is grayed out (unavailable) if the vehicle is not powered on. Power the vehicle on, and it becomes available. The rear lift gate, on the other hand, can be opened...

    12V Battery Fault reported while car at PPF/Ceramic shop. How do I prevent catastrophe?

    I have my Mach-E at a detailing shop getting PPF and ceramic done and it's expected to be a 4-day job (yes, I'm getting "the works"). Into the second day now, my FordPass reports a message: "12V Battery Fault - Service Soon" I suspect it's because the shop has the doors/gate open all day while...

    Mach-E GT PE pickup experience / My tips & tricks (your mileage may vary)

    I just picked up my brand new Mach-E GT PE yesterday and have had the car for less than 24 hrs so far. So stoked right now but thought I'd share my experience and little bits of insight that may help others. This is long/verbose. Feel free to skim or ignore. ;) Order/pricing/bill of sale I...
