its sad that 99% of lawyers make the rest look bad

His position is if you have one complaint about the car, stop complaining, just sell the car and take the massive loss in depreciation. It’s not logical, I think he’s just taking a trollish position of, “if you don’t like it, get out”.

If I got rid and wasn’t tonking ‘Stangy the length & breadth of UK, what then??‍

At the risk of having an opinion I now realise I’m not entitled to DYong ;-) ……….

A dull uninteresting (only IMO) Audi??‍ and I’ve had some, Think I’d fall asleep at the wheel??

A tasteless looking (only IMO) Tesla??‍

A dull (only IMO) Merc ?

Then what?

Love having a Mustang ?

And a bloke in a left hooker 1968 Mustang chuffing out the old smell of poorly tuned petrol engine fumes (ah, what memories) waved out the window of the car in front the other day.

AND I’d miss the banter & general info from this forum.

Nah, I’ll stay with what I have, thnx.

I love my life?

On the other hand, it would easy for Ford to avoid any legal action here, they could simply do the right thing for their customers and replace the part.

I’m guessing that would be a very expensive recall. You know, as many things can go wrong and as expensive they are to fix - plus the huge overhead - it’s a wonder car manufacturers can make any profit at all. I guess they’re losing boatloads on their EVs.

I suspect these guys make most of their money from financing and aftermarket stuff.

Looks like Facebook's algorithm has figured out I have a Mach E as "Class Action Lawsuit" ads have started to populate my feed. Ford Mustang Mach-E Shutdown Defect | Hagens Berman (hbsslaw.com). Seems a couple of law firms are looking to nurse at the teat of Ford Motor Company. Anyone here participating?

I would phrase it that some law firms ‘are holding Ford accountable’.
My mach e has been at the dealer for 6 weeks, still with no date for when parts will be available.
They first thought it was the junction box, then some other monitoring gizmo and I am now waiting for two HVB modules.

I am old and have owned 14 other cars. My mach e will soon have more days in the shop (in it’s first 2.5 yrs) than all my other cars combined.
And it’s not just that it’s ‘new technology “ The mach e is my fourth electrified car.
They just did a crappy job designing it.

We shouldn’t believe that!

If they didn’t make boat loads of cash they wouldn’t make these cars..

They have no engines to develop in to the next level of emission control, no exhausts, DPFs, cats etc to develop on and make, no clutches, dual mass flywheels, no injection & fuel systems, they got it easy and relatively cheap to fit a battery and a motor instead and also regulators aren’t looking at them as closely re emissions etc.

And I doubt there’s very much in our cars made by the car maker itself who obtain components from others and if they need recalling, car maker’s offset costs to recall from the component maker, or their product liability insurer.

We should probably spare our tears of sympathy.

All this is priced in!

And yet there is also the cost of not doing a true fix. We already get posts on here of people saying they're looking at the MME, is this build date post HVBJB fix? Does it have the "new" HVBJB? It is clearly hurting them sales wise and this renewed investigation will increase that.

This problem is clearly not going away, they'll hopefully be forced to do the right thing and think twice before playing the software game. Jimmy boy tried to mirror Elon too much and saw how they were able to do so many recalls with just software updates, but even Tesla stepped up to do hardware fixes when necessary.

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think the case will have a legal leg to stand on, unless vehicles that have had the recall remedy applied continue to completely die (stop safely now, not service vehicle soon). Which some have. But not sure if any of those "failed recall" plaintiffs are represented in the lawsuit.

I think the "newish" NHTSA investigation will accomplish more than this lawsuit...

And Ford is paying for your repair. They’re being held accountable already. This lawsuit would do nothing to help you.

Ford is using new battery modules to make new cars instead of sending one to fix my car. My dealer has a steady stream of new mach e’s arriving on the lot but no modules available to fix the defective car they sold me. The dealer web site shows 7 in transit and several on the lot. They need to be held accountable for that.

Are they?

I doubt the supply chain of parts involves them going to Mexico and then to the USA.

While the cars are assembled in Mexico, the parts come from all over.

Sounds like some of your extended time in the shop is from your dealership misdiagnosing the problem and ordering different parts. It sucks, but the dealer isn’t Ford corporate.

Actually Ford engineers were involved from the start. The dealer realized it was not only a junction box problem within a few days. The long wait for the repair is that Ford has not prepared itself to repair Mach e’s when the crappy design fails.
They have lots of battery modules to build new cars but none for repair.

My thing about class action lawsuits ... is the only people that _really_ benefit are the lawyers. The consumers get a coupon for 50¢ off their next purchase.

Well, I have owned 14 cars in my lifetime, including 3 other electrified vehicles. In
2 1/2 yrs my Mach e has spent more time in the repair shop than all the others combined. So, who is causing the problem? Ford for crappy design and planning or the lawyers holding them accountable?
