Stop safely now

[2022machEGT]

I parked my new 2022 Mustang Mach GT so I could grab lunch, was in the restaurant for 20 minutes. Come back out to leave and the car wont start. The speedometer readout screen says "Stop Safely Now" can't move the car out of park. Stuck now. Battery is at 84%. It's only like 75 degrees outside. Only have 2869 miles and only had like 3 weeks! Someone help!

Retry in a few minutes, some say 15.​

Then call for a tow.​

Can you start it?​

I tried that. It won't start no matter what I do. Turned off and waited like 30 minutes.

Mine was at 70% when it got towed in for HVBJB.

hopefully it will come right shortly.

I also noticed a few days ago that my screen turned off a few times and then rebooted while driving.

I’d call ford service.
Hope others on here can comment as well.
Then while you’re waiting hope it starts.

Hows the 12volt

Not sure how to know or check the 12V system

 

[AllenXS]

Haven’t seen the screen reboot issue. That’s a worry

 

[AllenXS]

I have that on the scriptable. Don’t worry about that for now.
Don’t think I can help any more than that.

to check 12v if you don't have OBDII dongle:

And this thread probably confirms that the 2022 model also has the same issue with the High Voltage Junction Box as the 2021s...

You have to put your car in Emergency Tow mode in the Vehicle settings menu, before the 12v battery is totally drained and the screens die. Also search this thread for towing instructions to make sure the tow guy won't rip the battery.

Trip the battery or rip the battery?

Rip. Towing can destroy the battery structure if not done right.

There is a checklist on this forum for steps to take. This issue has never been corrected since car was first shipped. At some point, please file a complaint at nhtsa.gov to force a recall. This is the one issue that terrified me with this car, getting stuck at a random day.

Good luck.
