  1. Post here if you have an active FDRS account and are willing to look up info for others

    Hi! Mine’s at the dealer for its annual checkup, a CSP and HVBJB recall. They claim to be done but don’t have parts for the recall but programmed something anyway (I assume the old software recall fix which was already done) - I have no faith and am worried they botched something. Is there a...
  2. Post here if you have an active FDRS account and are willing to look up info for others

    As much as I’d love to think I’m getting the right OTA updates, these last couple of months something feels off and I hate interacting with my dealer. I’ve had issues come back that I thought were resolved months ago (mostly BCM related with opening doors, PAAK). I’m curious if something is...
  3. Using a 12v Car Power Inverter on the Mach-E

    I had a similar idea a while back - but then decided I could charge everything I needed off USB (type A or C) - so got this from Amazon No need to convert DC to AC just to convert back to DC. Many newer laptops charge off USB C, and this had enough power to support my needs. Works like a champ!
  4. What do you store in the lower center cubby/bin?

    A pack of wet wipes (I have two kids - 3 and 7), pack or two of travel size tissues; pair of sunglasses for my wife when she’s riding shotgun. Oh, and snacks for the kids - out of sight from the back and easy for me to reach while driving. (Also great for road trip snack stash)
  5. It happened last night.

    Did you use remote start? That happens to me consistently if I remote start and get in to drive off before it times out and shuts off. If I let it shut off first then get in and start, no issue. Never any other issues or problems noticed. It goes away after it’s been turned off a while or...
  6. Problem with the built in wifi hotspot

    Found another thread on here explaining: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/carplay-wifi-hotspot.3636/post-113372
  7. Problem with the built in wifi hotspot

    I encountered this as well and decided on the hotspot option. It’s the way phones are made actually - not the car. Phones, tablets etc are designed to connect to a single wifi signal. CarPlay/android auto is designed for a dedicated point to point Wi-Fi connection. The hotspot is a normal Wi-Fi...
  8. SSM 49676 - Alarm Activates When Unlocked Door Opened - Driver Door Does Not Unlock/Open - Door Activation Switch Not Lighting Up

    I have not taken mine in for the SSM update - but I do have the issue where the rear door won't open (sometimes) until the front door is opened, then both open at the same time. Related? Different BCM issue? PaaK proximity issue? I don't know - I'm just hoping Ford figures it out and pushes...
  9. 'Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power' followed by 'Service Vehicle Soon' alert displayed

    Awesome - I hadn’t found a thread on that particular issue so wasn’t sure it was addressed yet or not. I was leery just taking it to the dealer and hoping for the best. Anyone know what the TSB/etc might be? Or the thread this is discussed? I’m not sure my dealer is one to just update all the...
  10. 'Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power' followed by 'Service Vehicle Soon' alert displayed

    I’ve been having this problem for a few weeks now. However - in my case it repeatedly happens when using remote start from FordPass and I get in and just start the car to go. It also happens if the scheduled start occurred while not plugged in. If I only start the car after entering it does not...
  11. Child car seats

    Mine are forward facing now so I don't know first hand, but this post tells a good story: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/car-seats-installed-front-and-rear-facing.4732/
  12. Child car seats

    I downsized from an Explorer to the Mach E as our 'family car', and have zero regrets so far with a 2yo and a 6yo. The "Search titles only" is key - I did a search as above, but without that check, and the post linked didn't even show up in the multitude of results pages.
  13. 2021 Mach-E Earns IIHS Top Safety Pick!

    Most likely the tie down anchors by the lift gate were the culprit. Looks like this could be solved by adding a contrasting label on the seat backs near the actual anchor. From IIHS: Confusing hardware. The area where the tether anchor is found doesn't have any other hardware that could be...
  14. tracking requiring order number

    Same issue here. Luckily I still had the tracker app open on a browser tab, and there's a 4 digit ID number listed in the details, and that works for the order number on the shop.ford.com tracking. (And no, it doesn't match my reservation or order number I've received from Ford.)
  15. Interior dimension request - from my 6 year old

    Thanks again! Both good options - I’ll probably have the 2 year olds seat on the other side. But she could certainly move her booster and fold her own side down. I like it.
  16. Interior dimension request - from my 6 year old

    Awesome thanks! That's only 2" less than the headliner area, but 6" less than the pano roof on my explorer. Given there's no transmission tunnel to contend with (and she's not quite 4ft yet), it should work nicely! (And the Mach E is a good 4" better than my wife's Fusion, with sunroof). Now...
  17. Interior dimension request - from my 6 year old

    For those of you lucky enough to have received your car - might someone take a couple of measurements for me? I haven't found these listed anywhere.....and they are very specific requirements for my 6 year old daughter. Not having seen the car myself yet, I haven't been able to do so. (My...
  18. Submitted Orders Tracking List and Stats [Enter Yours]

    I have a build date! Later than I hoped given a day 1 reservation, but it works for me! I submitted a change form with the updates. Reservation Date 18-Nov-19 Reservation/order #: 10006637 Order Date 29-Aug-20 (Updated to LR AWD from SR AWD 1-Oct-20 after the price drop) Build Week 8-Feb-21 -...
  19. Why are you purchasing a Ford Mache?

    True - I just think it makes more sense to have a physical button over by the lights. I’d use that more than max defrost but I understand why that’s important to some folks as well. It’s a minor thing but something I’d love to see in a future model year. As far as OTA implementation - its...
  20. Why are you purchasing a Ford Mache?

    Ford left a good impression on me with how they handled the recession in 2008. I’ve owned Fords ever since. I’ve wanted a performance oriented BEV for a while but just couldn’t take the plunge with Tesla. I’ve been excited ever since I heard the initial comments of a Mustang inspired BEV and...
