Example complaints

“We were driving my Ford Mach E when the vehicle disengaged the accelerator pedal and accelerated forward in which we had no control of. Pressing the break would cause the vehicle to accelerate faster almost causing multiple accidents at a high rate of speed. Multiple sensor malfunction even after being “ fixed “”
NHTSA complaint #11616590, filed 2024-09“Multiple intermittent electrical/software malfunctions in my Ford Mustang Mach-E, one of which poses an acute safety risk. STEERING WHEEL BUTTON / UNCOMMANDED ACCELERATION: A button on the steering wheel, when pressed, causes the vehicle to suddenly accelerate to a high speed with no corresponding throttle input from me, and speed cannot be immediately brought back under control. This creates a serious risk of collision to myself, passengers, and other road users. DOOR LATCH: A door does not open fully ( bounce open ) as designed. …”
NHTSA complaint #11763821, filed 2026-09“The car is accelerating by his own, without having the cruise control on and this happened a couple times, mostly after a full stop on a red light, until you don’t make a manual full emergency break it won’t stop. It can cause death if it accelerate it by his own, also couple times the front camera has a fall out and he’s warning the pre collision even no car is in front of you”
NHTSA complaint #11524167, filed 2023-05“It is far too easy to accidentally hit and activate cruise control button on the steering wheel when turning. If your thumb brushes up against the button the car can continue moving when you expect it to be slowing down either coasting or staying at the same speed when using 1-pedal driving. This could easily cause an accident when coming up to a turn and someone is crossing the street or similar situation.”
NHTSA complaint #11618458, filed 2024-10“When driving, sometimes a “Drive Mode Unavailable” message comes up on the infotainment. Drive modes in the MachE contribute to deceleration, one pedal driving, and throttle mapping, and switching abruptly from one to another without input from the driver is a safety issue as it can instantaneously change the deceleration or acceleration rate of the vehicle. This is a known bug that’s been around for years and still no fix for it.”
