What owners report most
Electrical system
“Our 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E repeatedly displays "Pre-Collision Assist Not Available," meaning forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking assistance are unavailable. The Ford app recorded 26 occurrences from April 19, 2026 at 8:52 p.m. through October 11, 2026 at 1:51 p.m. No crash, fire, injury, or death occurred. The vehicle was purchased new on November 5, 2024 and is titled to my spouse; I am reporting as spouse, operator, and case coordinator. Performance Ford in West Covina has had three repair visits for this concern. Visit 1, July 29-August 10, 2026, in at 34,296 miles, repair order 240919: dealer found IPMA camera diagnostic codes B1385:68, B1385:82, and B1578:89, cleaned the camera area, and updated IPMA software under warranty. Visit 2, September 28-October 8, 2026, in at 37,701 miles, invoice 241715: the same IPMA codes appeared among many diagnostic codes, with service-required, brake-assist, and adaptive-cruise faults, and a "Stop Safely Now" fault occurred during the dealer's own test drive; the dealer replaced a frunk/hood latch and charged $841.01, but the warning returned on October 11, three days after pickup. Visit 3 opened…”
Power train
“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.”
Vehicle speed control
“Subject: Formal Safety Complaint – Sudden Unintended Acceleration, Suspected System Malfunction, and Collision Following Recall Repair I am writing to formally report a serious safety incident involving our 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E, which experienced sudden unintended acceleration and crashed into a commercial building just a few days after undergoing a recall repair at Future Ford of Sacramento. Our vehicle has been subject to three recalls within the past 12 months, raising significant concerns about its reliability and overall safety. On October 10, 2026, we took our vehicle to Future Ford of Sacramento for recall-related repairs, including Recall 26B07, concerning unintended acceleration associated with the Adaptive Cruise Control system. According to the service documentation, the recall repair was completed. However, approximately five days after this repair, our vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own, without the driver’s intention or command. The vehicle became uncontrollable, and despite our attempts to regain control, it continued accelerating and ultimately crashed into a commercial building. Even more concerning, the vehicle’s automatic emergency…”
