You should take this to the dealer and have him tell you this is the way the car drives Or fix whatever is wrong. Non of what you describe is relatable to everyone else's experience of the ride quality other than nausea type stuff. So either something is seriously wrong with your car or you just wont like the MachE and if its the former it can be fixed by the dealer/Ford; if it is the latter better sell it before adding more miles and pick another vehicle that is to your liking.Short of selling the car and taking a huge loss, I mean.
I'm so disappointed in the ride and handling of my Mach-E, it's overriding everything else positive about the car in my eyes.
It is so underdamped, so uncontrolled, so jiggly, that even on a road that *looks* smooth, I am borderline nauseous from how it throws me around and the constant reverberations of previous bumps. I have put 400 miles on the car and I don't know how I can keep driving it. I feel like a bobblehead nodding to the bumps.
I have never driven a vehicle with a ride as poor as my Mach-E. I've had Mustangs, I've had F-150s, this rides like some unholy mismatch of the two - Mustang firm with F-150 jiggle and suspension upset on any bump.
I assume the GT's suspension will improve this... but I don't know if anyone knows whether it's able to be bolted up to a non-GT.
I haven't found any aftermarket suspension kits for Mach-E yet, has anyone else?

I have to say your experience is very much in contrast with mine as to the ride. I have found it very smooth over bumps, to the point that I drive slower than I need to based on my experience with other cars where I know how nasty some of the local bumps and dips are (to not screw up my Mach-E's suspension over the long run) as opposed to any discomfort I am feeling coming through in the Mach-E.
And on the freeways, it is so planted, so stable - I feel very comfortable moving at higher speeds. As I drive along overpasses and other transitions where the road suddenly raises or drops, I do not lose my sense of stability to nearly the extent that my 2006 Mustang GT does or my 2013 Chevy Equinox did.
I don't know how much overall weight and weight distribution would factor into what you are feeling, but my Mach-E is AWD SR.
test drive?Short of selling the car and taking a huge loss, I mean.

All I have to say is mound road. Screw that road.Remember - the original post is from someone in :Michigan. If you have ever driven in Michigan you would get it.
lol! We have such terrible roads in MI. People are too cheap to pay for fixing them.Remember - the original post is from someone in :Michigan. If you have ever driven in Michigan you would get it.
I wonder if your MME is just broken? Maybe shipping damage to the suspension? Can you get some time on a FCTP MME anywhere near you (check Autotrader, they list most or all of the FCTP MMEs by location, or visit another forum member) for comparison?Honestly I can feel the bumps in my left foot more than the right!
The floorboard where I rest my left foot "flexes" like a baking pan under foot over bumps, it's quite unsettling feeling my left foot move on a road that looks visibly smooth (at least by Michigan standards anyway).
I have the same feeling as the OP.Short of selling the car and taking a huge loss, I mean.
