Thudding sound and now lights

[Sagacant]

I’m wondering if anyone else may have experienced this or has a clue to what’s going on.

2023 CR1 with 5K miles. Randomly started hearing a noise that sounds like somewhere in the front end. It’s a sort of thudding noise, like plastic being hit by something repeatedly. This sound is only noticeable around 15-30 mph (no it’s not the pedestrian noise) and happens while accelerating AND decelerating. It’s decently loud and can be heard from outside the car as well. It’s been happening for or week or two now but haven’t had a chance to take it in.

Yesterday, the car finally noticed and lit up like a Christmas tree (video). The noise is now GONE, so something the car turned off “fixed” the problem. Anyone experience this or have any clue what’s going on? I plan on taking it into service when I return from a business trip next week

Hi there, I'd be happy to look into your Mach-E concerns on my end. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into things on my end.

Still unknown. Is yours just making a noise or have you gotten warning lights?

Tried to start the car and Started getting all kinds or errors and faults. After a while the car was making this weird noise. Had to disconnect the battery and called to have it towed. When the tow truck arrived, i had him check the battery. He connected the jumper cables and the car started but I’m still getting all the errors. He towed it to our house sine the dealership is closed but I’m taking it first thing on Monday. This really sucks as this is the second time we get stranded in this car. We’ve already had the HVBJB replaced.

Here’s a video of the noise it was making

I just went out to check if it would start and it does. I left it charging last night after the tow truck dropped it off and it fully charged. It started fine but still getting errors on the dash screen. Taking it in to dealership first thing in the morning.
