MME STRANDS ME IN A BLIZZARD!!

[agoldman]

geeze.. this is not a potential issue. this is a serous problem. there is no way I'm taking delivery until Ford responds as to what's up. I'm not a 12 volt mechanic and I certainly don't want to get stranded over this. This is really quite upsetting. Not sure what to do now. Very disheartening. Clearly this is not a fluke.

That would indeed be an interesting position to denI warranty coverage due to mod’ing for better access to a defective part. I hope there is good warranty coverage for plastic clips. Maybe they should come with a little baggie of extra clips in the glove box.

Isn't Mustang supposed to be one of the few brands famous for allowing mods. If that voided the warranty it sounds like it goes against the spirit of the name Mustang that Ford stressed in it's naming and advertising.

4?

You're correct. That was pre-coffee. although I do feel like I am missing one for some reason. Possibly I am.

How many vehicles are having this problem? I see a lot of replies to each report of the problem but it is not clear what the actual count is. Has anybody tried to do the count?

I think I've heard of 5-6 in here the last week, but more alluded to elsewhere. And it's sounding more and more like the same problem that sent hundreds to the Speedway, and some even back to the plant.

My guess is many are showing it now because of the extreme cold. 12v batteries that were already low on charge but no one noticed, but the cold now is pushing them past the minimum needed to run the electronics.

Just my speculation.

I don't know if this made any difference or not, but my husband and I came back out last night to try and get it to start. He said he read something that engaging the parking brake and then disengaging the parking brake would somehow reset the 12v charging, so we did that. If that worked, I guess it recharged itself overnight and was good to go this morning. Or, that may have had absolutely nothing to do with it. Either way, I am happy to be back up and running!

I think I seen somewhere that the high voltage to low voltage doesn't run when the vehicle is being charged. Just to confirm, it wasn't plugged into the charger over night while the issue fixed itself?

I'll bet the issue is being caused by something like the DC-DC not being allowed to turn on below some arbitrarily high temp.

or maybe arbitrarily low temp...

Have I missed any video showing how to access the 12v battery?

and to think one of the selling points of this car is trouble free service... didn't realize I would need to go to mechanics class to own one. . . . sorry, I know I'm being annoying..

I think one thing that would be helpful is for the Ford App to display the 12v battery voltage.

If you have a Grabber Blue FE, it would probably be prudent to not take delivery. Also please post in the other thread what dealership it’s at.

That statement just makes no sense at all. I was with @Rafgar Sunday and his GB FE is doing just fine.

Apparently his EZ pass had interference also. Which is just completely random of all things.

Where is that thread that Asks "What would make you cancel you order?"

Geez Louise

Sorry, I did cancel today. I'm in no hurry. I'll see what's available next year.

oh no you didn't get the joke either
