Over It

[profdraper]

The MME isn’t the only EV with this concern, for sure. But I will say I find it very unusual in all the giant infotainment series of seemingly infinite preference settings, that there is zero way to monitor the 12v battery heath & SoC. Even my basic MG ZS EV had a 12v battery level indicator, right there on HUD next to tyre pressure readout. Totally logical and useful. Hyundai even has on on-demand physical button to charge the 12v from the main battery.

Subsequently, 48V is the way many are going: https://www.caresoftglobal.com/thinking/the-evolution-of-48-volt-architecture-in-electric-vehicles/

Why still 12v?: https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a38537243/electric-cars-12-volt-batteries/

My 2022 is in the shop for the second time this summer for the same reason. "Powertrain fault".
That's 3 total now. 1 part replacement for not charging. 2 for powertrain fault.

I'm not happy with the quality, unfortunately. This vehicle wasn't ready for primetime.

I've owned, in the last 15 years; a Nissan, 2 Mazdas, a Kia, a Honda and a Volkswagen (current second car). I was thinking about this last night when I was driving the Mach E in for repair.... I've only had to bring ONE of those vehicles in for an issue within 2 years. Here's the punchline ... It was the 2009 Mazda 6 ... which was built in the Michigan Ford Mustang plant.

Not sure what’s worse though-

Rushing the Mach E to market

or

Those poor people still waiting for their 2023 Chevy Blazer SS.

It ain’t perfect, but at least I have a car to drive. ?

I find it unique to car forums that individuals find it necessary to tell people they are leaving/selling when it has absolutely no impact on the people they are addressing.

Yah, I always scratch my head a little with these posts.

Am I supposed to suddenly get rid of my Mach-E now?

Raise a pitchfork and torch and scream "Yah! Death to Ford!"

Is this asking for help?

If this was an article about the Mach-E in which people in the comment section are not necessarily owners, I would get it as maybe a warning to stay away. But nearly everyone reading this owns a Mach-E already. This reminds me of my favorite analogy of someone telling you the chocolate chip cookies taste awful after you've already eaten three.

Sometimes we are reminded that the forum is mostly men.

We (speaking as a man) immediately assume anyone who has a complaint about a problem wants us to fix it.

Sometimes people just want to complain and be heard. ?‍

Regardless, as a man, I’ll still try to fix it. ?



It’s not about the nail. ?

Well if posts like this do nothing else, at least they provide a warning to people considering buying a MME to think twice. I wish I had seen more like this before I leased mine.

I'd probably have done the same had I run across a few choice posts, but there's just not enough time to read years worth of complaints before buying a vehicle. Let alone attempt to reason how many. are legit issue or luck of the draw. At the same time that would have caused more rabbit holes and probably analysis paralysis.

 

[MotownMachdoc]

I absolutely cannot wait to get rid of this vehicle. There is ALWAYS a battery/tech issue. My car won’t install updated because the battery says low SOC. Called the dealership and there’s a 2 month wait to get it looked at. The end of this lease can’t happen fast enough

If you are upset, ask ford for a buy back. There is a process under lemon law.

[Newmovesmike]

it's his complaining which is a feature, not a bug with the mach e community. He's been on this forum since 23, more than enough time to look up solutions, instead only time he posts is to complain.

I can complain all I want for the amount I paid for this car. It's had multiple battery issues on top of powertrain issues.

 

[Newmovesmike]

Bye?

see ya

 

[Newmovesmike]

I think it’s called main character syndrome

I think it's called an open forum to where I can express any thoughts I please

I can empathise with you. I love driving the car but there are_so_many issues. I 've had more warranty work, recalls and TSB's performed on this car than any other car I've owned. The only car that came close was a Fiat Bravo and I swore I would never buy Fiat again. I'm coming very close to that with Ford as this was my first Ford car. It's a real shame that build quality issues and design flaws are letting it down as it deserves to do better.

As can everyone else.
