Rod, I know your wife's car has this issue but your car doesn't correct?
Correct. Mine is just fine. Even when we switch garage stalls and I use her grizzl-e. Hers yo-yo’s no in either stall/ charger.
I've mentioned this before but same with my first Mach-E ('21 Premium) and my current one ('21 GTPE). My GTPE works perfect. Constant, full (11.2 kW) charging while my previous Mach-E yo-yo's with a max rate of around 8 kW. Both are regularly updated to the latest software with FDRS. Both use Emporia Chargers.
Absolutely no angst but will not give up voicing exactly the situation as it stands. Hard to believe a corporation would pick such a stance not once but twice. I do not think government will come to the rescue this time as they did with Fords HVJB software move. Hey Ford charging speed matters that is why you pushed it so much with your lighting; remember? Much appreciated you crapping out my charging with a software install; another top notch move.
Not sure what me walking around with a thermal camera would do for me to get it fixed. The software that Ford installed to slow it down because some charging ports (not mine) were melting is not going to be fixed by me and a thermal camera. Ford refusing to acknowledge it, address it and fix it is the problem. As far as a nefarious plot against consumers they are tight with big gas so who knows. At this point who cares. Under designed HVJB's and melting charging ports seems they have no problems passing their mistakes on to the people that purchased from them and install software to lower the quality of their vehicles.
So your dealer was able to find the root cause of the problem. That's a good service department. Did Ford do this under warranty? I have this same issue on my 21 MME so I can't charge at 40 amps without the car cutting the charge rate somewhat. I suspect that I have the same issue with a false reading from the in-line thermistor. Since my issue is manageable, I have not demanded a new charge port yet.
Yes the dealer did this under warranty At that time my car was within the original warranty period and Ford approved it.
I think something like that is exactly what is going on here. It does it in -20C and the charging handle is cold all the time. Charged like a champ for 2.5 years and now for 1.5 not. I am thinking that is what Ford needs to direct my service to do. They have nothing to date. I definitely do not find my service too stupid or lazy or unfamiliar with EV's to figure this out. Just need to be directed and paid for it. This new trend of assume everyone is stupid is making a lot of stupid.
Sounds like you have a great dealer.
You might consider finding a new dealer who will work with you on this problem . Not all dealers are created equal. Not all dealers want to work on Evs.
My service has done two HVBJB replacements, one 12V, a SOBDMC (rip the rear end out), windshield replacement, roof seal, side window replacement, brake wiring, door hardware once and now error again. I told the manager mine is their training vehicle and he had to agree. All runs like it did and range about the same. My small donation. Still looking for the car to be fixed no one can think less than 32 amp for 99% of your charging is OK when you bought it doing a solid 40 and it was sold to do 48. My service does not write the service manuals? @Ford Motor Company what direction are you providing?
Mine has nothing to do with the charger it is the car that is the problem. It charges like crap here and at my dealer on their Ford 48 amp charger. Took 9.3 hours to charge it 66% on their charger.
