Suspension Fault Detected and other issues

[rsfloodco]

My unit was delivered about six weeks ago. I immediately started running into an alert regarding suspension system fault and speed limit limited to 80. I then ran into some problems which side sensors and back up sensors faulting. Today I’m running into a problem where it seems to be shifting into snow mode on its own without any snow or dampness. Anyone else with these problems?

To my knowledge, Mach-Es don’t even have a snow mode? Is this something specific to the GT-PE? I’m guessing that you have MagnaRide, because I’ve never heard of any kind of suspension warnings being thrown.

Were I to guess, it sounds like you have some bad softwarein whatever module handles your suspension. Sounds like a Ford Field Service Engineer is going to have to get involved.

Yeah, being a Mach E owner is like Congress not knowing what’s in a bill. You don’t know what’s in it until you read it. I have no idea what the “snow” mode is but the little snowflake alert is telling me somethings there. I’ll get it into the techs again soon.

I think that's just the temperature warning. Indicating that there's a possibility to icy road conditions. I think it comes on at ~40F and below. It's not listed in the symbols glossary in the manual but from prior vehicles that's what I'm assuming.

I have had that exact same temp warning indicator on other Ford cars. It would turn ORANGE when the outside ambient temp dropped to 39˚ and RED when 33˚ and below.

Yup, I first started to see that feature turn up on Fords back in the early 1980s.

Thanks for the post and clarification on snow flake on road indicator. Noted the same symbol a week or two ago on my GT on cold mornings. Could not find it in the manual. Assumed something like noted above about just being cold out. Finally had a moment to check here.

I've just had the same thing pop up on my Mach E GT PE twice now. There was frost on the ground so I know it was a cold morning high 20's. I work at a Ford dealer and I'm having them check it out. Of course it's all new to them. If I find anything out I'll let you know.

Yep, had the same warning (magneride fault, limited to 80mph) on my GTPE in the morning last week when overnight temps dropped to 29F, though car was in a garage (unheated but insulated). Went away after about a mile down the road and never came back again. I assume a sensor is detecting an edge condition on something vs. an actual fault. Or just a software glitch. Also find it funny that the "limit" is 80mph, which also tells me it's not something critical. So looking forward to see what your dealer says.

Looks to me like your are trying to take off while your wings are still folded....

Any update?

My suspension problem went away for about 2 weeks and now it’s back. It’s cold here now and I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it. The problem is getting it in to service is a nightmare at Ken Garff Ford in Fort Collins. Then, they want it for days (and not just a couple). I’m not sure how that place stays in business.

I started getting this suspension fault error today. Scheduling an appointment with the dealer for early next week to get it checked out.

Yes, mine goes in again tomorrow. I have another appointment at another dealer next week too. This is getting old for me. I’m an avid ford and Mustang fan but 2k in and I’m not thrilled.
