“I’m writing this message out of frustration, exhaustion, and genuine concern for public safety. Over the past months, I’ve been renting and driving multiple cars from different brands and models — Toyota, Subaru, Nissan, and now a 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E and all of them show the same dangerous behavior: sudden phantom braking for no reason, traction control malfunctioning, throwing the car from side to side, unstable handling, especially on highways or during light rain. …”
NHTSA complaint #11694598, filed 2025-10“Ford Motor Company Dear Ford Customer Service Team, I am writing as a highly disappointed owner of a Ford (specify model, e.g., Mustang Mach‑E), having observed a dramatic unexplained jump of over 10,000 miles on my vehicle’s odometer in just three months. I firmly reject the insinuation that I drove that distance—I maintain an accurate charging and usage log proving otherwise—and I demand a refund of my warranty payment plus a prompt and transparent investigation.

NHTSA complaint #11759415, filed 2026-08“The vehicle regularly, and at random times, will drop out of the chosen drive setting and go to the default Engage mid-level setting. This changes the driving dynamics, such as pedal pressure required to move the car, and the sensitivity of the steering. If the driver was in Unbridle , for example, the car will immediately lose speed and steering sensitivity, while if the driver was in Whisper , the car will lurch forward. This has happened at city speeds, highway speeds, and even while at a stop in a line of cars. …”
