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. ?
The Frunk is strong with this one ?.

And, yah I get that.

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.
Not all of us have concerning issues. Never had a HVBJB issue but took the car in earlier this month for the recall. Bluecruise 1.3 hasn't arrive yet but what I have works good enough for me on clear days and when traffic is free from construction zones and heavy traffic.

I must be one lucky SOB since I've never had the sorts of "devastating" problems others on this forum claim to have had. Wha wha wha is all I read and I simply cannot relate. My car has been great, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

We are about to make our sixth drive from Phoenix to Northern California in the MME to spend Halloween with the grandkids. I am looking forward to the trip almost more than to the visit.

Yes you can.

But to be fair to the OP, many people buy a new car with a warranty so they DONT have to become technical experts and fix things themselves.

I think many of us have Stockholm Syndrome to the point that we criticize anyone who suggests that the software is buggy and we should expect it to work or Ford to fix it quickly/easily.

We instead accept the workarounds or even take things into our own hands and program the car ourselves through FDRS.

The OPs complaint seems pretty fair honestly. Why should he have to fix it himself? It’s a lease with a warranty. ?‍♂
Take it to a dealer. Get it fixed or file a lemon buy back. Complaining won’t fix the car.

Not everyone is wired the same, obviously.
What some consider a nuisance or inconvenience might be experienced as stress and worrisome by others.

I know I wouldn't be worried about one of my sons having a flat tire or a dead battery. They'd deal with it and I probably wouldn't even find out about it. But my daughter? She'd be in a tizzy and freaking out on social media so that she could share her angst. It would be in fact legitimate drama. Real.

While the two Mach-E’s in my household have been flawless, our neighbor Tim hasn’t been so lucky with his Ford. And like many here, he didn’t wait around for Ford when you can fix things yourself.

I always respect a guy who can fix his own equipment and doesn't have to rely on others.

My car has fewer software bugs than the software I use at work.
