Stop Safely Light haunting me

DONT EVER BUY AN ELECTRIC CAR! We are just not there yet

The 36K trouble-free miles I have on my Mach-E says otherwise.
As does the 44K miles I put on a 2017 Bolt EV with no problems.

Sounds like you got a lemon. Or a dealer who didn't prep the car correctly/completely. Trying getting the initial problems fixed first before deciding that EVs aren't worth it.

Stop safely now light haunting me!!!!
Only 600 miles on the car and it broke down in the middle of the road twice. Once on the freeway, once on city streets. I called a tow but each time, the car would start RIGHT before the tow truck driver arrived!
With 4 kids and 2 jobs this car is a nightmare!!!
Next day I took it back to the dealer the service adviser was initially very rude over the phone but they started “looking into it”. 2 weeks later I got the car back and the service advisor was trying to act as if I had the vehicle insufficiently charged and that’s what led to these issues. I had to remind him that this car first broke down the day after I bought it! They also sold me it 30% charged and I got home with 30 miles on it. The cars 12v battery was supposedly low.
I started reading about the constant issues with these vehicles and them being pre recall. I can’t believe I bought the biggest piece of crap. I have owned over 30 vehicles and never ever stranded like this. The fact that Ford is allowing this to go on is beyond me! How many more innocent customers paying 49k to have a lemon? I’m hoping the car stops malfunctioning but any more of this and I’m hoping they buy it back. I have ptsd from the whole situation and I’m reluctant to even drive it.

Good afternoon. Can you please send over a message with your VIN and the name/location of the Ford dealer you are working with. I would like to look into your Mach-E's loss of power issue to ensure all resources are being utilized to have this resolved.

I'm trying to do the math on how it's possible to have 4 kids, but also have owned 30 cars already? Did you own each car for ~6-months? Or maybe your kids are now old enough to drive?

4 kids, $49k car, owned 30+ cars = having two jobs.

Might not be legal to dump the kids, but OP could probably work on that equation some.

I love these people that come onto a forum with thousands of users that have owned their cars for years and want to tell us how all of our cars are completely useless and we should never buy an electric vehicle. Then they snap at anyone that offers advice or asks them a question. I can't even tell if there's a legit problem or it's just a troll, but either way the post here is pointless because they don't want to hear a response.

The stop safely now light is a legit problem with Mach-e vehicles as you can see the many many posts about them.
I snap at childish men such as yourself who hurl insults and jokes like a ten year old!

good luck with that ?

Can you share if your issue was resolved or not? In most cases people comment on issues and ask for advice. In your case it appears, and I say appears, you were just venting. By passing on the resolution (if resolved) it helps others with similar issues. I do hope your case was resolved and it was just a low 12V battery or something simple like that.
