Hi,

Note #1: see also Missing Promised Features/Software Bugs which is more about future improvements and expected features, vs. things believed to be broken with possible fixes coming.
Note #2: see also Issues Feedback Poll where you can submit your feedback on issues. The results can be seen in these charts.
Sync 4a, audio, and navigation
- Wifi connection issues- seems to be very limited in scope and tied to specific home network details
- dnsmasq incompatibility for some reason?
- Hidden SSID may not work well; fix is likely to not do this bad thing
- Touch Screen went BLACK! - Sync 4a responsiveness issue resolved through soft reset (explained in first post)
Android Auto rebooting phonesbelieved fixed in soon-to-be-released Android Auto update; short-term fix is to disable Chrome on the phoneconfirmed fixed by many with Android Auto 6.1.x and later.- Blue bar in small display on nav screen - may be a glitch, may be a feature we don't understand yet; looks like it might be a lane change warning?
- No sound from audio system- Radio, car play, Bluetooth audio, nothing works
- One option is reset Sync 4A
- Another option is fuse #22 (amplifier) / unplugging the fuse and plugging it back in
- Infotainment not allowing for Nav to start, can't exit it - Can not load app, just spins (waves) Picture below - will update when car starts again after sitting for a while.
- Rear view camera delay setting doesn't work and switches itself off - no confirmation yet, might be limited?
- Projection (CarPlay/Android Auto) Issue after Bluetooth call handoff when entering car
- Phone As Key issues- inconsistent reliability in PaaK
- Seats not returning to driving position - seems to be the car not recognizing the individual user through PaaK
- Car User Profile not keeping radio preferences? - unclear if this is a PaaK issue at this time or independent
- Automatic Profile from Drivers Seat (not working) - unclear if this is a PaaK issue at this time or independent
- Android activation issue workaround and reliably working suggestion both here: Workaround Solution -- Phone as a Key (PaaK) setup not available in FordPass on Android
- Bluetooth pairing not necessarily obvious
- Cannot activate Connected Services including FordPass - unclear if this is a timing thing right now (might be a multiple day delay from delivery to activation)
- There is a known bug apparently some are hitting that should be deployed very soon around address storage: Connected Services Bug for Ford Pass Charging Network Trial Activation
- Unable to sign up for FordPass Charging Network? One fix
- Dead Battery / Will Not Drive
- Field Service Action No. 21B02 - Software Calibration Update (updated at least once by Ford)
- Deep Sleep mode - 12v battery dead!!??? / Dead Low Voltage Battery (LVB) / Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power' followed by the 'Service Vehicle Soon' alert / MME STRANDS ME IN A BLIZZARD!!- unclear if one or two issues here; software updates currently being tested by Ford and specific forum members that is appearing to be reliable
- Unknown Service Soon Errors messages - PowerTrain message in FordPass App, Red RING on charge port, "Service Vehicle Soon on dash". Dealer is replacing part # LJ9Z-14G490-A DCFC module
- “Electrical system drain” message in FordPass app
- GOM seems a bit pessimistic - believed to be "by design" somewhat; also impacted by pre-delivery if not reset on delivery
- One-pedal fault
- Error may appear during DCFC
- Ford Connected Charge Station Stop Sell Order - may be related to Ford Connected Charge Station Error Message: The charge station has experienced a non-recoverable fault ?
- Charging Curve - not seeing expected 150 kW; appears Ford is meeting claimed 10%-80% time in appropriate charging conditions, so this is a bit unclear
- Charger payment / plug and play - unreliable. Unclear at this time if this is Ford, charging providers, or both
- L2 Home Charger Issues Issues with 240V charging with Ford Mobile Charger and any L2 EVSE that is plugged into the 240V outlet. MME will not charge on 240V plug while my Tesla Model 3 charges fine.
- Buzzing / whining noise from dashboard
- EZ-Pass transponder interference? Toll transponder issue common to many modern cars due to windshield design; typical "fix" of proper windshield placement works here as well apparently
- Wind noise from panoramic roof - might be an assembly issue; details still being collected.
- Rear trunk black shade - Often comes loose, clips do not hold the shade in place. Pictures in the thread.
- Door Not Closing - Piece that pushes door open randomly pops out, or remains extended. May be limited to one vehicle.
- Wheel well panel gap
- Frunk does not close easily or work according to the manual. Must push down hard to close.
- Garage door opener (HomeLink) concerns - not necessarily Mach-E specific?
- Garage Door Opener is NOT Working!
- Garage door opener keeps losing programming
- see also: the compatibility list at HomeLink
- No A/C cooling. Heat works fine. Back into the shop on pick-up day. (One-off?)
- Puddle lamps not behaving as expected (although may be matching documentation)
- No rear seat ambient lighting
