Sporadic turtle mode....

[400 VOLT]

So this might be a new scenario....my 3/7/22 GTPE is now (at 1,200mi ) displaying a random turtle mode indication while at
any speed above 30 while accelerating. It illuminates, there is a pronounced lag in acceleration but it will still maintain speed and
then after no set time goes out and things seem to return to normal. Today the graybars showed (92 FL heat every day) but I hadn't been on the pedal heavy at all. Have others seen this combo of turtle and graybars?
Weirdly I have also been experiencing a occasional stutter under heavy acceleration in any mode for 1/2 sec. but so far no turtle light with this. No 'Stop now' or other errors...and have never used a fast charger. No updates since the Bluecruise map one like many have experienced, and no other issues or hiccups with the car so far.

I've never had this occur with mine in any conditions. I would get it checked out as this doesn't seem like normal behavior...maybe a sensor is reading wrong?

I would definitely contact @Ford Motor Company and take it to your dealer ASAP.

You can ask someone in the FDRS volunteers thread to see what your logs say, but as the official Ford social media account would say "this isn't the type of experience we want you to have"

You should get that back to the dealer pronto. Something is wrong. I didn't even see an actual ? showing.

Service Vehicle Soon!

Hmm, it exits turtle mode on its own? That’s really strange, haven’t seen that before. Send me your VIN. My guess is it’s thermal, maybe you lost a cooling pump or something.
