“The vehicle experiences a drivability issue where it stalls or loses power and is not safe to operate. The vehicle is currently undrivable and has been at the dealership for nearly one month without a completed diagnosis or repair. The dealership has indicated a possible powertrain or transmission-related issue, but no confirmed repair has been completed. Additionally, there is an active safety recall associated with the vehicle that has not been repaired multiple notifications. This situation poses a safety risk and remains unresolved despite repeated follow-ups.”Owner report · Power Train · Apr 2026
“There is an issue with the Mach E where while in a parking lot at low speeds the user may accidentally press the cruise control setting which will initiate the car jolting up to 15 mph (minimum speed for adaptive cruise control system) instantly. This happens when you are going 5 mph or less in a parking lot. Although this is more of a design issue where some users may not deal with this issue, it should be noted that forums have been posted about this same exact issue and it can cause a danger in terms of hitting pedestrians or other vehicles in parking lots or other slow moving traffic. There have been several instances where this has happened to me.”Owner report · Forward Collision Avoidance · Feb 2026

“Sudden unintended acceleration event. I was pulling into a parking spot going very slow and lifted my leg off the accelerator when the car suddenly surged forward and crashed into a tree, a wall and a nearby parked car (no people in the car). This put my safety at risk. I was thankfully not severely hurt and had no other passengers in my car. I have sustained some muscle strains in my neck. I have reported the incident to Ford Credit and requested the data logs and investigation. My airbags were also not deployed and this seems very similar to other reports I have seen online. The police were called to the site and a case filed. There was a message flashing "parking sensors fault".”Owner report · Vehicle Speed Control · Jun 2025
“Vehicle has a bearing noise in the front. Now vehicle has door fault, transmission not in park, auto hold fault and hill assist not available when driving the car. The car will engage parking brake randomly and when the brakes are wet the brakes will not engage for up to 50 feet. The car has become extremely unsafe and unpredictable. Ford's road side assistance keeps delaying any tow and finally had to cancel the tow as I have to work. Need help badly with this!”Owner report · Electrical System · Apr 2025
