The Fam had and was pleased with a 2001-ish Ford Ranger, a 2004-ish Ford Mustang convertible, and a 2017 Ford C-Max. Do you see a pattern?
Got a deal on a gorgeous red used 2021 Mach-E 24000 miles only 6 months ago from a famous local Ford dealership. Made an account here immediately because I was very exited to learn all the features. Don't think I ever came up with anything to ask that a lot of banging my head on YouTube couldn't answer though.
Now we're done. We want out and we are getting out one way or the other. Bluetooth as a key just stopped completely after a software update. Our phone's gleefully let us know we are connected successfully to the car. The car doesn't care. The whole touchscreen system freezes and reboots while you are driving it! The adaptive cruise malfunctions every day. If you have the cruise off it just annoys you with sensor fault messages and beeps. If the cruise is on, it cancels itself and starts slowing down on regen immediately. Basically the car randomly brake checks the car behind you. The app will ding our phones at 3 or 4 in the morning to let us know that sensor has a problem when not a soul has touched the car for hours. We all know the hands-free system is a joke. We all know that the Nav system is a joke. Which is made even more hilarious by the fact that those are subscription services that expires soon. Good riddance! If you want to get where you are going, Ford's maps ain't gonna cut it anyway. We all know that public charging is possible in a pinch, but never works on the first try, 2nd try, sometimes 3rd try. You'd better get all of the 3rd party charging apps if you are planning on going on any trip. And don't bank on being able use the 1st one you can reach, better have a back-up plan!
Sometimes the driver side window can't roll itself up. Note that it's only the auto-up feature. It always works when you do it the old fashioned way. I didn't even know that was possible to malfunction! The motor obviously works and moves the window just fine. It just cannot activate the auto-up when you least expect it. In other words, you can roll all of the windows down from your phone app. But when you roll them all back up from same app, they all go up except the driver's. Get in and start the car. You can still roll the window up normally. Note that you'd better have the key to start it. Just because your phone app can remote start it or move the windows in no way implies that the Bluetooth as a Key function will actually work. But be careful. If you are just treating it like a very expensive luxury car , you might hit the auto-up manually. The window will jog up a little bit and then stop. So if you are in a hurry and in the habit of driving functional cars, this one might get rained in for a while because you didn't notice the window moved but didn't finish the auto-up. I didn't know that I needed to constantly double-check that but now I do.
Well today, only about 6 months in, we inquired about its trade-in value. Big mistake! The car is more valuable at the bottom of the ocean than it is in our driveway. Ford wants to say it has to take value hit because it's not getting any younger. That's nice. Please tell us when do you plan to start beta testing the cars for the 2021 model year? Are any of the advertised conveniences going to be functional and stable before anyone gets them paid off? The dealership offers a 72 hour return and swap policy with no questions asked. That's fantastic when Ford is going to break the car remotely with software updates a couple weeks later.
So is it all Mach-E's with issues or just ours? Not that it really matters. Either way it will be a cold day in Hell before we make another payment on this one. Proudly financed through Ford Motor Credit - they can come pick it up at their convenience. There's an old saying that's key here.
If you owe a bank $10 thousand and can't pay it, you have a problem. If you owe a bank $10 million and can't pay it, they have a problem. Well when a $50k car isn't even worth $10k as spare parts, FORD has a big problem and they cannot say we didn't give it an honest shot.
Anyone want to buy it? It's very pretty and red and doesn't have any panel fit issues like a Tesla! We're willing to part with it for just the payoff amount.
