Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“After plugging my Mach-E into a Blink Charger at Sheehy Ford in Ashland, VA my vehicle became disabled and will not go into propulsion mode. The car is now 98% charged but will not come out of Park. The dealership blames a NHTSA stop work order on a software update that in their words would resolve the issue.”

NHTSA complaint #11601216, filed 2024-07

“I was driving my car when all of a sudden it lost all acceleration and power, I was lucky that I wasn't on the highway anymore and was able to pull over safely on a side street while car was rolling still. Dealer said 12V battery fused, and I have been reading forums where this is a common issue.. In a normal ICE car when 12V battery dies while driving, car can still drive, in this case, it just stops and pops up a dozen errors about everything being broken.”

NHTSA complaint #11671895, filed 2025-07

“This is the second time in 2 months that I’ve received a High Voltage Warning and Powertrain fault on my MME ‘22. This was suppose to have been fixed by a recall completed prior to my build date. I have been driving normal speeds on side streets when this happens.”

NHTSA complaint #11548897, filed 2023-10

“While driving on Route 1 and attempting to pass another motorist, a flashing red STOP SAFELY NOW lit on my dashboard, along with multiple warnings of a powertrain failure . Thankfully I was near my house and was able to get home. But the FordPass App is saying that I had a high-voltage power malfunction and will need to tow the car to my local dealership. Now I am being told that the high-voltage junction box has failed and needs to be replaced (consistent with Ford Recall notice 23S56). …”

NHTSA complaint #11556598, filed 2023-11

“I have a 2022 Mustang Mach E GT Performance edition. I purchased it new and am the first owner. The build date is September 2022 and I received a notification in the Ford Pass Mobile phone application saying: - High Voltage Battery Warning - Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power This is a known issue for build dates before May 2022, so my car should've not been affected, but it is. I've scheduled a service appointment for further diagnostics with the authorized service center where I purchased the car.”
