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.

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…
On [XXX] while traveling south on [XXX] 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…
My Ford Mustang Mach-E has repeatedly slowed down unexpectedly while using Adaptive Cruise Control and BlueCruise, even when there were no vehicles in front of me. The vehicle incorrectly displays a car ahead of me on the driver’s screen and begins slowing down as though it is following that car. However, the road ahead is completely clear. This has happened both on the highway while using BlueCruise and on local roads while using Adaptive Cruise Control. In both situations, the vehicle continued slowing down until I manually intervened. I believe it would have continued slowing to a complete…
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…
On 11/18/25 the following warnings appeared on the dashboard: 1) hill start assist warning; 2) Antilock brake fault ;3) pre collision assist not available; and the one-pedal drive did not function. this occurred again on 1/29/26, 2/12/26, 2/22/26, 4/07/26, 5/1/26, 5/23/26, 6/11/26, 6/14/26, 6/19/26, 6/21/26, 7/23/26, 8/06/26 and 8/07/26. Upon re starting the vehicle the warnings went away and the vehicle operated properly. I have received little assistance from my selling dealer and he even suggested I see another Ford dealer
Ford completed OTA for software update. After that happened, wireless phone calls no longer work.
The exact failed component is unknown to me at this time, but the issue appears related to the vehicle’s electrical system. Prior to the incident, I received a charging error notification while the vehicle was plugged in. I unplugged the charger from the wall outlet, waited briefly, and plugged it back in. Later that same day, the vehicle entered a no-start condition and would not start despite repeated attempts over approximately two hours. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle left me stranded at night for approximately two hours without warning. Because the…
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.
The Mustang Mach-E Select has three driving modes. From least to most aggressive in terms of acceleration, they are Whisper, Engage, and Unbridle. When driving in 1-pedal mode where removing your foot from the accelerator causes the car to brake, the strongest application of brakes is in Whisper mode as well. It’s not aggressive, but it will bring the car to a stop over a shorter distance. There is a known and reported problem among drivers, shared often in driver forums like Reddit, where vehicles will change to Engage mode from either Whisper or Unbridle. Over a year ago, I first noticed my…
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…
While picking up my daughter from school this week, I entered a school parking lot and began a low-speed right turn to pull into a parking space. During this maneuver, the car unexpectedly and abruptly accelerated forward. I reacted immediately and applied the brakes, but the car traveled approximately two car lengths beyond the intended parking spot. I came to a stop across two parking spaces. This occurred in an active school pickup area with parents and children nearby. There were no cars or pedestrians directly in front of me at that moment. I still fear what the outcome might have been if…
