    Warranty Issues

    I would delete and reinstall the app on your phones and I would also change the password on your Ford Pass account just to ensure you did not have any third party apps that had access to your account and was constantly pinging the car draining the battery. If you wanted to test it, you could...

    Any guesses on our MME NCM battery life expectancy??

    Correct. However, most people are caught a little off guard when they hear the current AGM 12v batteries for today's modern ICE vehicles are around $200. Then there is the very limited availability of the very unique battery itself (the one for the MME only fits the MME and Lightning) , which...

    Opinions welcome - is this a good deal?

    If you found a used GTPE under 3/36, you could add the Ford Extended warranty and still be ahead of the game $$$ wise.

    And one trip with the SVS light on most of the way with a HVBJB on it's last legs if memory serves me correctly. ...

    What a Difference New Tires Make -- Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires

    They wore about the same as the factory tire, but had better grip in the turns, which which was what i was after. I am very hard on tires though, and really not your average user who should be getting a lot more miles than I do out of a set of tires.

    2022 cyber orange stolen from my driveway (FOUND) [⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    With those numbers, I would be really surprised if they do not total it. There is just so many potential costs associated with this repair. I hope for your piece of mind they total it for you. I would not want that back.

    Turtle Mode With ~30% Left (Cold Weather Warning)

    I think this really points out the need to have the right vehicle for the conditions. We have been below freezing for several days now with snow on the roads. While I am a huge fan of EVs, and will always have one in our family of vehicles, for the past few days I have been taking our Subaru...

    Uh Oh

    I think he is saying a lot of people do not have a 220Volt 50 amp dedicated power source available before purchase. With a normal 110V home outlet, you are only adding 3 to 4 miles per hour to your battery, and for a lot of people that will be too slow. You also have a lot of people who do not...

    Uh Oh

    Like others have pointed out, I think we are through the early adopters for EVs so that leaves us with the general public. These people are not going to change from their ICE car just to switch to an EV. A quick search results in the average consumer keeping their cars about 8 years. If...

    Did he want to race or EV angst?

    I would say the SVS is like losing a couple cylinders since the car still runs, just with reduced power. The SSN is more like losing a starter since in my experience when the SSN message comes up when the car is still powered up it will continue to run until you shut it off. Once the car is...

    Stop Safely Now (HVBJB): Mach-E Owners Biggest Fear - Facts and Info Thread

    I have to believe that is the case. I can't imagine Ford would not include these vehicles in the recall if they thought it was not as good as the recall replacement parts.

    Stop Safely Now (HVBJB): Mach-E Owners Biggest Fear - Facts and Info Thread

    If the recall cleared from your VIN the dealer will not be able to replace the HVBJB again since according to Ford, you currently have an acceptable HVBJB installed. This would be something you would need to have rectified with Ford if you feel it needs to be replaced again since if your VIN...

    Someone lost their THIRD HVBJB

    I am sure that happened as the engineering department was really eager to get my data from the tracker I let them install. I also saw Ford EV testing vehicles with manufacture plates in my area heading out to the roads I blew the HVBJBs on shortly after giving the car back. I am sure that was...

    Someone lost their THIRD HVBJB

    I had failures of the original, 2nd gen and remanufactured parts. It was after the last reman part failed that I threw in the towel after the wife said there was absolutely no way we were ever going to be taking the car on any type of road trip together. She actually said if I was going to do...

    Someone lost their THIRD HVBJB

    As you may know, Ford monitors this board and they reached out to me. I was happy to help out and was really appreciative of the assistance they gave me with dealing with the local dealers.

    Someone lost their THIRD HVBJB

    It's not that bad IF you have a good dealer to repair it. The problem I ran into is after the first one, both dealers in my area really lost interest in assisting so the subsequent repairs took longer and longer each time. Now that there is a recall out on it and dealers might get a lot...
