Yes I checked the reservoir for charging system which is near the windshield and it was fine. I will keep an eye for the motor coolant for the next 2 weeks but it has not gone down in the week I filled last time and the dealer also checked everything.

Yes a week before I put the car off road for 2 months the HVBJB was replaced. That’s reassuring. It’s coincidence that little nest was next to the coolant reservoir.

So my car was parked in the garage for two months (March, April) here in the New England. When we got back we drove it for 3-4 times. Last weekend when my son was driving he got the warning “Motor coolant over temperature”. He pulled over let it cool down and drove back home (3 miles). No...

Got the car back today. HVJB changed. They did verify my 12V is at 99% SOC. (They must have put on a charger). Though I am going to change 12V this summer. This work (including rental) is covered under 8yr./100K warantee. That gives me some assurance for the next 4 years.

Same here… Got the car back today. Same work done as stated in your document. I asked the guy and he verified my 12V battery is at 99% but I will change it this summer.

Actually that’s just the work assuming they start the job on Monday. It might be a full week when all said and done.

Update: Dealer called. It’s high voltage junction box they have to replace. He said there’s a TSB 25-2247. Day and half work. What is confusing is that I had all recalls done on the car, not sure how this was missed. Glad it’s getting fixed and I hope it’s covered by warranty.

I was connecting to + and - post inside the frunk (NOT at the leads in the bumper). It is definitely related to weak 12V but something else is going on beyond that. Car is at dealer now, waiting to find out…

Yes I do have it. It is possible it drained the 12V but there is more going on because even with jumper cables car would not go in Drive.

Thanks, I understand 12V is not covered in warranty. I am glad at least tow will be covered this time. I also suspect something else because even tow guy used his jump pack without success. Though he may not have the override feature. Ford account here reached out to me so I’m hoping they will...

Unfortunately I wasn’t paying attention to 3 year mark…still bad design of no warning and just not letting you put in D (even with jump cables). Gas car I would jump start and change the battery myself. I debated changing the battery myself but in this cold weather and so many warnings despite...

Now that I have learned this lesson hard way I am sure to change battery every 3 years. However locking up the car (even with jump start from other car ) is not cool.

Thankfully I have Ford Premium Care 5yr/60K miles and I am at year 4/24K miles. I called Ford Roadside and also booked a tow from my App. Waiting for tow company to call me so I can be present to unlock the car and put it in neutral. Regardless of the outcome I am disappointed that car stranded...

I doubt it’s the update because she drove fine from home to store without any warning or issues.

My jump pack doesn’t have the override option. However why didn’t the regular jumper cables work? I’m starting to wonder too that 12v is okay because it goes in accessory mode etc. One time I did get a message on main screen turning option OFF to preserve battery. I do have electric tester so...

My 4 years of trouble free days are over… With the cold New England temps and car was not driven for the last 3-4 days. So today my wife took the car to a store about 4-5 miles from the house. After 2 hours when she tried to start the car she is getting all kinds of warning and can’t put the car...

Actually if you go by the CR chart here 2021 MachE is not reliable. Now I know early production had some issues but mine built in late 2020 has outstanding quality. The best new car I have owned. Zero maintenance, no unplanned breakdown, no issues going on 4 years and 24K miles.

OP, I have owned Toyota, Acura, Honda. MB. Of all MachE has been the best new car I have ever owned, zero problems after 4 years at 24K miles. Of course MB GLE350 ride is hard to beat so still favorite for the long distance driving.
