Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:INSTRUMENT PANEL:SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER
Potential Consequences:
Ford did an update recently, 6.8.0, which obscures the speedometer and moved it to far right of the IPC making it difficult to see now when driving. This is safety issue and I like to have the speed of my vehicle right in front me where it should be.

Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Brakes automatically engage when parked. Next time I went to drive the car wouldn't move until a loud "clunk" came from the rear and the car moved. But, when I started driving there was a repetitive noise coming with each turn of a rear wheel. Parked the car and took to dealership which confirmed that a "chunk" of the brake pad had come off and adhered to the brake rotor. Contacted Ford and was told that it wasn't covered under warranty because I had gone more than 12, 000 miles. They did set up a case (CAS-46526025-Q7S5V2), but I never heard anything from it. In conversation with the dealer, this is apparently a common problem for which Ford has issued at least 2 TSBs (21-2206 & 22-2023) but the term expired before my incident. From reading of other incidents on various forums for the MachE, it is apparent that the problem still persists as in my case and is affecting a number of owners. Ford needs to be pressured into issuing a recall to install improved brake pads/rotors to prevent this problem from occurring. It could happen at a time when it isn't easy to pull over and therefore, cause an accident.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Ford is aware of these issues and I can't believe they are ignoring them and making me pray through them. My vehicle, since I purchased it, has had issues with the adaptive cruise, the accident avoidance gets disabled, lane assist stops working, and the final thing is that it registers that the camera is not working and must be serviced. the last thing that happened is that the car shut down its self driving in the middle of taking a turn on the highway and proceeded to drive me off the road. There was no braking or anything, when I reacted to stop it, I barely missed the guard rail and the car fought me to even turn the wheel. This has been documented with multiple dealerships. All of them have dealt with Ford's technicians remotely and have all failed at fixing my issues. Before it everything stopped working again, it went on and off for months as it did before... the failed completely. Because of this, my wife and I only transport our children in her vehicle out of concerns for our family's safety. Ford will try to say they won't replace my vehicle due to its current milage, but this was well documented and never fixed long before this. its been happening since 2,000 miles.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
I parked my MachE at home on Sunday evening and I had "lock the car when i walk away" setting turned ON. I also had alarm system turned ON. Car keys were more than 20-25ft away in my home. So, technically no one should be able to break into my car without sounding an alarm. Yet, theft happened on Monday morning without any physical damage to the car and no alarm was sounded. Ford said take the car to dealer and dealer said they don't know how to get the car logs to determine what\how happened and they want to charge me a fee just to take a look at it. Car also had my garage door key programmed, so thief could have simply opened the garage and could come it right away while kids and we were sleeping - it's big security risk. It very much sounds like some fault in the car as one of the scenarios - 1) it didn't lock on Sunday evening even though I had walk away lock setting turned on, or 2) it's so easy to fake or replicate the signals from the key which was stored at home or 3) alarm system is at fault and it didn't trigger for some reason.

It very much sounds like some fault in the car as one of the scenarios - 1) it didn't lock on Sunday evening even though I had walk away lock setting turned on, or 2) it's so easy to fake or replicate the signals from the key which was stored at home or 3) alarm system is at fault and it didn't trigger for some reason.
Additional Notes:
I parked my MachE at home on Sunday evening and I had "lock the car when i walk away" setting turned ON. I also had alarm system turned ON. Car keys were more than 20-25ft away in my home. So, technically no one should be able to break into my car without sounding an alarm. Yet, theft happened on Monday morning without any physical damage to the car and no alarm was sounded. Ford said take the car to dealer and dealer said they don't know how to get the car logs to determine what\how happened and they want to charge me a fee just to take a look at it. Car also had my garage door key programmed, so thief could have simply opened the garage and could come it right away while kids and we were sleeping - it's big security risk.

Potential Consequences:
The panoramic glass roof is slowly failing. The glass began to develop a small stress crack (with no sign or notice of impact as cause) which, over the months, has grown to a complete circle, about 12 inches in lengths. Additional stress cracks will easily compromise the glass and cause an immediate road safety hazard. Ford dealership denies any responsibility or warranty claim, falsely claiming it was due to some kind of impact when it was not.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
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). Unfortunately, Ford hasn't produced a replacement part, and after speaking with multiple dealerships, I have been told that an updated replacement part may not be available until Q1 2024 (Or between 6-18 weeks from now). Those of us who purchased these vehicles now have $65K+ paperweights. Ford should buy back these cars, fix them, then resell them through local dealerships. Please help remedy this situation.
