Transmission & drivetrain
On 5/14/2025 at aprox 5:35pm I was completely stopped in traffic when all of a sudden my car started to accelerate without me pressing on the accelerator. I pressed the brake pedal, however the car continued to move forward, by this time the brake pedal was pressed to the floor and the car was continuing to more forward. I was stopped aprox 6 feet behind a semi truck, and ended up crashing into the back of the semi. The car continued to surge forward, even though my car was pressed against the back of the semi. It was at that time when I put the car in Neutral. When traffic started to move, I followed the truck, but apparently he did not realize I had hit him. I was able to drive home. There was significant damage to the front of my car. Normally I would get an alert if I am too close to the car in front of me to prevent an accident, the alert never came on. The airbags did not deploy. …
While driving my 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT in mild 49 F weather with a 95% battery state of charge, the vehicle suddenly displayed a 'Performance reduced to lower temperature' message on the dashboard. The vehicle entered a protective 'limp mode,' abruptly and unexpectedly reducing available motor power while actively driving in traffic. This sudden loss of propulsion created a hazardous driving condition. No secondary warning icons or wrench lights appeared. Contacted the Ford dealership, but they refused immediate diagnostic service due to technician availability. This code appeared on 9/15/26 dealership failed to return my call.
Fuel & propulsion system
On [redacted] while traveling south on [redacted] at highway speed (in heavy traffic), multiple dashboard messages started to flash, and the car came to a stop in the middle lane. Thankfully, the people behind me were paying attention and did not hit me. I could not get the car to start or put it in neutral. I called 911 and police were dispatched. They blocked two lanes of the highway to push the car to the side. I was able to override the emergency brake to get it into neutral. It was put on a flatbed and taken to Kings Ford for diagnostics. Kings Ford service said that there were pins that came disconnected that resulted in this. They said this was resolved. I have not had a recurrence since, but I can no longer trust the car. My concern is that there could be other 2024 Mustang Mach-E's with the same issue that could result in someone getting hurt. …
While driving the vehicle electrical console started flashing then lost power and stopped dead in the road. The battery was reading between 70% to 80% prior with a range of over 250 miles still available. Due to complete lack of any power the car could not be moved or placed into neutral for towing. It caused a traffic situation blocking 2 lanes of traffic for approximately 4 hours waiting for roadside assistance for jump start and towing. EV's cannot be towed like a regular car and not having access to the electronics made the car like a brick. Eventually I was able to attain assistance with a jump start that was able to provide enough power to drive onto the back of a tow truck and to the Ford dealership. …
