2022 Ford Mustang mach-e

Ongoing issues with forward facing radar preventing collision assistance and adaptive cruise control along with lane keep assist from working. Ford knows about this. There is even a TSB. A car manufactured in an era that requires collision prevention should not be allowed to have significant camera faults that prevent safety systems from functioning properly. Unfortunately, the plan for many is to continue operating without these important safety features and crashes will occur as a result. Ford should be required to properly fix their radar system functionality in the Mach-E.

On 6/4, I completed a long road trip of over 650 miles. When I got back into my vehicle to move it to where it would be parked for the night, it displayed messages for a Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power and a High Voltage Battery Warning. I powered the car off and back on within about 5 minutes, and the messages were still being displayed. I connected a code scanner to the car and the car had stored codes P0D0F and P0AA4. Both of these codes indicated a fault with the High Voltage Battery Junction Box, a known issue with the Mustang Mach E. I was able to drive the car to a dealer the next day without incident but am wary of trusting the vehicle to make the same trip back home.

Vehicle stated "PARKING BRAKE FAULT". Driver (myself) discovered electric parking brake was stuck in the ON position and would not disengage. Vehicle could not be moved on its wheels. Vehicle was in parking garage, and driver became stranded for over 24 hours waiting for a low-clearance tow truck with a dolly that could move the vehicle. Ford dealer (Bill Brown Ford) inspected vehicle and discovered wiring immediately behind BOTH rear electric parking brake connectors were corroded and broken. Ford dealer stated there was an active recall for this issue (CSP 22P31 or TSB 22-2143), but that my vehicle's build date was not included. CSP 22P31 only includes build dates before 15 March 2022; Driver's vehicle has a build date of 24 June 2022. Ford dealer stated they repaired the vehicle by completing the procedures defined in recall CSP 22P31, but Ford did not cover the costs or acknoledge it as a recall repair due to the build date. tl;dr: The critical safety defect defined in Ford recall CSP 22P31 affects vehicles built in July 2022, but Ford has not expanded the recall to cover these vehicles. In this case, the corrosion led to DUAL failure of both rear electrical parking brake connectors, causing two exposed electrical circuits and lock-up of the parking brake.

The vehicle’s rear/360 camera system, SYNC/APIM display system, and Reverse Brake Assist/back-over prevention system appear to have malfunctioned. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. After a software update was performed by the Ford dealer, the vehicle began displaying the warning message: “Reverse Brake Assist not available — See manual.” At the same time, the rear/360 camera image became distorted and unreliable. The camera display has shown abnormal behavior, including distortion, flickering, black/green screen behavior, and an inaccurate or unclear 360-degree view. This issue was not present before the dealer-performed software update. The safety risk is that the rear camera and Reverse Brake Assist are used when backing up to help detect objects, people, vehicles, or obstacles behind the vehicle. Because the camera image is distorted and Reverse Brake Assist is unavailable, the driver may not receive accurate visual information or automatic braking assistance while reversing. This creates a risk of backing into a pedestrian, another vehicle, property, or an unseen object. The problem has not yet been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center after the failure. UNKNOWN whether Ford has reproduced the issue. The vehicle/component has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others after the issue appeared. UNKNOWN whether the issue is caused by the dealer-performed software update, APIM/SYNC software, rear/360 camera module, camera calibration, camera wiring/connection, or another related system. There were warning messages and symptoms after the failure began. The warning message “Reverse Brake Assist not available — See manual” appeared after the dealer-performed software update. The camera distortion and rear/360 camera display malfunction also appeared after the dea

was driving my 2022 Mustang Mach-E in "One-Pedal" Whisper mode on. I always drive in that mode because it has a great feature where as soon as I take my foot off the accelerator the car slows down significantly. I feel safer in this mode especially in high traffic or on the freeway. I was very slowly turning into a parking spot in a private parking lot, stepped on brake to put car into Park when the car lurched forward without me touching anything, I had no control of my car no matter how hard I pressed on the brake. My car was driving itself!! when it lurched forward it hit a car parked directly in front of it on its right front side then pushing that vehicle about 2 feet! it did not stop even then, it veered to the right and forward and hit another parked car in the next parking space to the first car that was hit. My car pushed the 2nd car about 2-3 feet before it stopped almost hitting the car parked next to it!! There was an eye witness. This event scared me to death. It was as if someone else was driving my car. I had absolutely NO CONTROL of it. It would NOT STOP. I am soo grateful this happened in a parking lot and not in fast traffic or God forbid the freeway. I would not get back inside my car and never will. We had it towed to a certified repair shop. My car sustained front end & right side front damage. The first car hit sustained right front damage. The 2nd car hit was parked next to the first car hit and sustained right front & right side passenger door damage. No injury. The repair shop has a certified EV Specialist who is going to read the recorder to see how it malfunctioned. There was a police report but haven't received it as of yet. We contacted Ford where we purchased our car. They told us it would be better once repaired to sell the car ourselves as it could take a very long time for Ford to agree to buy it back my car back! only has $9,000 miles on it!! I hope Ford takes this issue seriously!!!

When starting car the instrument cluster was entirely blank. Center infotainment was functional. Due to use of digital dash in the car there were no warning lights or any information including speed available. It is unknown if any safety/driver assist systems were on or off because the display was non-functional. Issue resolved after performing 1 or more software resets documented across the internet but not documented in the manual. Steps to reset appear to be: 1) Perform a hard reset of the car (hold brake 15 sec, release brake 15 sec, press start without bake). 2) Allow car to fully reset and then turn off. 3) Move far enough away from car to trigger locks and put car into low power mode. 4) Return to car and power on. Hard reset did not provide immediate fix. Sync soft reset did not work.

On December 17, 2022, I purchased a new 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E, VIN [XXX] -Lewis of Hoover Inc. for $48,665.00. Seven months later, the vehicle suffered a complete loss of drive power at highway speed — a near-serious injury (if not fatal) incident on a vehicle Ford had already identified as defective and subject to recall. In approximately July-August 2023 — seven months after purchase with only approximately 13 miles at purchase — the vehicle lost all drive power while I was driving on the freeway [XXX] ) at [XXX] le stalled completely. I was fortunate no vehicles struck me. The vehicle eventually restarted. I drove directly home and did not continue with my planned out of town trip.

Parking brake malfunction indicated. Ford CSP 22P31 covers repair of the issue for vehichles with a manufacture date before 3/15/22. My vehicle reached the US on 6/22/22. Ford has offered to cover a small part of the repair, but won't include me in the fix due to manufacture date. So Ford ended the program, NEVER FIXED THE ISSUE, and now won't offer to repair my car.

Vehicle shutdown while driving causing total power loss and hitting a parked vehicle. No alerts or notifications were present at the time.

File against: Ford Motor Company Vehicle: 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E VIN: [XXX] Safety Complaint While driving, the vehicle unexpectedly slowed down, lost power, and became inoperable, creating a serious safety hazard. I was able to pull over safely, but the sudden loss of motive power occurred during active roadway conditions. Dealer diagnosis identified a wiring harness connector failure affecting communication between vehicle control modules. After the repair, the same issue reoccurred within one to two days, again causing loss of power. The vehicle is currently back at the dealership, and the underlying defect has not yet been permanently resolved. This recurring electrical failure represents a loss-of-motive-power safety risk that may indicate a broader wiring harness defect affecting vehicle reliability and safety.

Car gave an error in the middle of the trip and displayed 'Stop Safely Now'. Will not start and run after this warning. The extended battery was fully charged before the trip and after 100 miles of driving it showed this message with 54% battery left.

Vehicle: 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E Mileage at failure: ~36,800 miles Complaint Description: The left rear electronic parking brake (EPB) wiring harness/connector failed, resulting in a parking brake fault and abnormal braking behavior. This component is not a wear-and-tear item and is located in a fixed, protected area of the vehicle. It is not subject to routine maintenance or driver interaction. The failed wiring harness was inspected by an authorized Ford dealership and is available for further inspection upon request. This failure put safety at risk because the electronic parking brake is a safety-critical braking system. The fault created uncertainty regarding proper engagement and release of the parking brake, increasing the risk of unintended vehicle movement when parked and reduced confidence in braking reliability while driving. The problem was confirmed and diagnosed by a Ford dealership, which determined the wiring failure developed over time due to moisture intrusion and corrosion, not misuse, accident damage, or normal wear. The vehicle and component were inspected by an authorized Ford dealership. Ford Motor Company reviewed the repair documentation through Ford Customer Care but did not dispute the diagnosis. The component has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives. A parking brake fault warning message appeared shortly before diagnosis, accompanied by abnormal braking behavior. There were no prior accidents, vehicle modifications, or external damage related to the failure. This failure is identical to a known defect already acknowledged by Ford in Customer Satisfaction Program 22P31, which covers EPB wiring harness connector failures on other 2021–2022 Mustang Mach-E vehicles. Although my VIN was excluded, the same non-wear safety defect occurred within the same model year, indicating a broader safety concern beyond the original VIN population.

I was backing up the car and the car raced on it own at least couple of times. Luckily no-one was injured. I am worried about the safety of my family including a newborn. There was a Recall 22S29 for the mach-e but it seems to have not fixed the issue for my car.

On Tuesday, [XXX], between approximately [XXX] and [XXX] PM EST, I parked my Mustang Mach-E, powered the vehicle off, and exited the car with my wife and child. After unloading groceries and sports equipment, I retrieved the Level 2 charger from the front of my garage and plugged it into the vehicle. I waited for the blue indicator lights to turn solid and blink, confirming charging had started, which typically takes about one minute. I believe the vehicle had been parked and powered off for approximately 10 minutes when I entered the house. Shortly thereafter, I heard an unusual clicking noise and observed the charging cable strike the side of the garage door opening. The vehicle had rolled backward approximately six feet, twisting and pulling the Level 2 charging unit off the joist it was mounted to and damaging the vehicle’s front charging port as the cable stopped the vehicle from rolling into the street. This incident occurred less than one week after the vehicle was returned from service for a “Parking Brake Fault – Service Now” error that was repaired at Losco Ford in Fenton, Michigan.

I brought my car to ford stanford for recall work and they didnt do it. Tried to charge me first even thought it was under warranty. Battery recall

On November 15, 2024, my Ford Mustang Mach-E was involved in a rear-end collision on Interstate 270 near Clarksburg, Maryland. I was struck at high speed by a box truck, which pushed my vehicle forward into the van in front of me. The rear of the vehicle sustained significant damage, including the complete shattering of the rear window. During the impact, the steering wheel detached from the steering column and came off entirely in my hands. This occurred without the airbag deploying in the steering wheel area. The separation exposed the internal column components and wiring. This type of failure appears to be a serious safety defect. A steering wheel should not detach from the column in a rear-impact collision, and the separation could have resulted in loss of control or severe injury. I am submitting this report because I believe this warrants investigation for potential structural or component failure in the steering column assembly. I have photographs documenting the rear damage, the detached steering wheel, and the exposed steering column.

Passenger front door stopped opening from the outside. there is no power going to the door at all. There are alert codes appearing on the dashboard "passenger door ajar" "door fault. service required" I have taken it to Ford multiple times over the last 1 year, starting Dec 2024, for a fix and they are unable to find a solution. they attempted replacing physical parts with no success. There were no warning signs before this happened. One day i went to close my front passenger door and it would not open back up. This presented as a safety risk to me when I was being followed by a stranger, with my infant with me. I got in the car and pressed the lock button, but the stranger was still able to open my door. luckily I was able to drive away fast enough. however. because the door was seen as ajar, the car will not lock. this is a major safety issue when I cannot secure my vehicle to keep me and my child safe!

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The messages "Stop Safely Now", "Service Advancetrac", "Overdrive Off", and "Pre-Collision Indicator Off" were displayed. The contact pulled over and parked the vehicle. The vehicle failed to restart, and the 12-volt battery was drained. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was later towed to the dealer, who determined that the high-voltage battery contactor needed to be replaced. The dealer performed the recall repair under NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V412000 (Electrical System); however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired and remained with the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and two cases were filed. The failure mileage was 104,442.

I have a 2022 Mustang Mach-E GT and have now experienced two (2) High Voltage Battery Junction Box (HVJB) failures. First failure was in July 2023 when the vehicle had approximately 12,000 miles. I received the stop safely now message. Vehicle codes displayed via the Ford app showed a High Voltage Battery Warning and Power train Malfunction / Reduced Power warnings. I have now received this same failure and warnings again. The car currently has 54,000 miles and I was just advised by my dealer that the HVJB has failed a second time. My concern is that the replacement voltage boxes are nothing more than a Band-aid for the problem and not a permanent solution. As I prepare to receive by 3rd HVJB, I feel this is nothing more than a temporary fix until I receive another Stop Safely Now message while operating my vehicle. Please look into the HVJB failure rate for these vehicles. I am in online two Mustang Mach-E owners groups and this issue is rampant among owners. I feel this issue requires outside attention as Ford has now had 4 years to solve this issue for early produced Mach Es. Yet the issue continues to exist. Thank you for your attention in the matter.

The front camera has failed. The automatic emergency breaking, the adaptive cruise control, and normal cruise control do not work, at all. The camera began to fail within the first year of ownership but it would start to work shortly after. After about 1.5 years of ownership, there was a permanent sign of malfunction on the screen, making the above features inoperable.
