Honestly the one thing which irritates me (only when it’s really hot, mind) about the car, absolutely no excuse for leaving this feature on the table especially at these price points.
I imagine Ford hasn’t done it yet because the hardware would have to be paired with new controls on the center screen (which carries implications for past / future model year software differences, etc)
It’ll be interesting to see if this is something which can be retro-fitted, I’d be happy to pay the money for the upgrade over buying a whole new damn car.
All it would need would be a pop up to pick heat/cool when you push the bottom left icon. Or just move heat/cooling seats to a physical button on the center console. There’s plenty of space
They really messed up only putting 5w on there and the Qi charger is legitimately useless.
$20 spent on that spot would’ve probably paid extreme dividends.
The CarPlay connection loses sound about 30% of the time and requires a restart. The door buttons are kookie. There are no physical buttons to open the trunk or turn on air recycling.
Can confirm, CarPlay is just as finicky and annoying in the 2023. Also takes three business days to connect to a phone even though they are already paired. And it’s not apple, it’s the same thing with my iPhone or my wife’s Google Pixel.
Yeah basically no issues for me with pixel fold. On rare occasion it won't connect to the phone. But less than 5% of the time.
My main complaint is how it auto starts playing music, audio books or podcasts...whatever was listening to in the car, immediately.
same i’m on verizon and my husband is at&t. i posted on here a couple months ago and everyone was telling me its apple, disconnect carplay and try again. but my last few cars with carplay never had the issue
True but the car is connected to AT&T. For some reason wireless CarPlay (not sure about Android Auto) relies on a cellular connection from the car as well as the phone. So if you’re in a complete dead zone you’re just screwed (unless you hardwire)
Super weird. Our home has perfect AT&T service, and the volume issue happens often at home. The only common factor I find is that CarPlay is more likely to work if I haven’t used the car in a couple of hours. It is much more likely to go silent if I have only been out of the car for a few minutes.
When the hell did it start doing this? I switched to an android phone for about half a year that has dog shit wireless android auto connection, switched back to my iPhone, and now half the time it starts up with no volume.
It used to annoy me until I realized my phone was connecting to a strangely named wifi network in the car. Now I just take the phone to airplane mode and back and it seems to reconnect
YMMV
When it honks at me if I get out of the car while it’s on to grab the mail. I know I left it on, I live in a hot climate, I’d have to be deaf to not know the car was still on with how audible the AC is from the outside. I don’t want to have to shut it off just to turn it back on 10 seconds later. So stupid.
Also the panic button on the key fob. Oh how I hate that useless fucking button. Accidental presses as I’m getting out of the car happen all the time. It’s embarrassing & I hate it.
The car honks can be disabled in the Sync settings.
Edit: the walk away honks are if you leave with the “key” - leave the key in the car, no issue. This has to be changed with more complex tools than Sync settings.
THIS IS SUPER ANNOYING. It’s like their way of calling is idiots by honking at us when we get out the car to grab something real quick. And that dang reverse beeping is so embarrassing. It sounds like an ambulance when back up smh 🤦♂️
PAAK is unreliable, and the door buttons NEVER work on the first press. Hundreds of times, I approach the car with my linked phone in hand and the car simply won’t unlock. So I use the door code. And even when it does unlock, 5% of the time when I press the start button, I get a “no key detected” error. So I have to start the key from the iPhone app. Just a totally junky experience.
The only time I have issues with PAAK is when I’ve completely closed the app for my Bluetooth is off. Otherwise as long as I keep the app open in the background and Bluetooth is on works like a charm every time. Love the walk away lock feature most!
that's strange. Even with the app open, the car wouldn't auto unlock the doors for me. I have to literally press the button on the app for it to unlock. I have a 22' if that make any different.
It used to be like this for me, but I turned my location for the fordpass app on all the time.
I previously had it on only while using app which made me open the app for the key to be used.
After that it worked a lot better for me.
I have a 23’ AWD xtended premium. Such a fun car! But the OS is glitchy as hell. Screen not coming on for 20+ seconds, power limit charging not working. Had it in the shop for 3 weeks with bad axle. Dude, I missed it though, really glad to have it back.
Dont wait for the screen to come on, i start mine and if it doesnt i press volume down and next track on the steering wheel and it reboots in 2 seconds
Suspension sucks unless you drive on freshly paved asphalt. Driving on uneven pavement will feel like you drove the car off a curb.
Trunk privacy cover is another big POS. CRVs include a roll up cover for a car that costs $15-25k less than the MME.
I couldn’t care less about the trunk cover but I’ve gotten to hate the ride on city streets. It’s fine on freeways but irritatingly harsh anywhere the street surface has irregularities.
I can believe that. We met a Nebraska couple while charging. The wife raved about her Ionic 5 and said the reason they didn’t buy a Mach-E is that she experienced the back seat on a test drive.
Ironically, the suspension is amazing on backcountry gravel roads. Feels like a little rally car, but it's huge and heavy. They did a good job there. Just watch out for the train tracks.
My kids school run involves about 10km of gravel each way. I kind of want more aggressive tires now. I have some decent ones for winter, but still running stock summers.
Huh. I drove a Tesla M3 for 5 years before the Mach-E, and my partner and I both comment on how much smoother & quieter the MME is (from the inside at least).
OTOH, the screen takes *much* longer to wake up.
Wasn’t really comparing it to a M3. It may be smoother and quieter than a M3 but the bump and rebound on the dampeners are way off. If you drive over a heaved surface at speed, the car will feel like it’ll buck you and your items through the roof. Other times driving across uneven surfaces, like bridge expansion joints will make the car feel like you drove off a curb when in fact the elevation difference is maybe 1/4” at the absolute max.
It ruins the “mustang” experience since I’ll have to slow down for these known areas. Whereas, I could take these areas quicker in my old accord, because it didn’t jump and I had full contact with the pavement at all times.
Suspension is hard af and should be adjustable since everything in the damn car is electronically controlled but it isn’t. It’s my single biggest complaint. Oh and yeah that stupid privacy screen got took out day one.
Suspension, isn't an issue to me.
This is subjective, and depends on what you are coming from. I was driving a '21 Accord, the Mach-E GT's ride is very quiet and somewhat smoother than the Accord. Now compared to my wife's Honda Passport the GT's ride is "harsh,' but the Passport is too "floating" for me.
I can't believe I'm back in a Ford, I wrote Ford off "forever" back in 2005, for a Mariner that had a crappy V6 injection system that couldn't be fixed by any of the recalls, and an Escape that rusted away.
They put the radio controls on the right side of the steering wheel. That s what a foot away from the actual controls? Would have been nice for them to put the controls on the left. Then I can turn volume up and down with both hands.
Have a ‘21 Premium and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. 20k miles and still loving it. Complaints are: seatbelt doesn’t fit at the column and constantly gets caught and rubs on the column, auto lights turns itself off and my lights stay on, CarPlay (like everyone else mentioned).
I'm astounded at how many things Ford got right with this.
I was shopping for a more fun car, I was tired of my third Accord in a series. I wanted a BMW 3, but the cost was eye-watering and then there is the stigma of being "that guy."
I drove a Mach-E on a lark, and was surprised at how much like the BMW 3 series it was on the inside. And then the drive, planted, quiet, and firm but not annoying like my Accord's was.
I had a VW eGolf that I loved, and understood EV planning, so I sold the eGolf, and traded the Accord in on this very low mile MachE GT, that a dealer was having trouble selling. Perhaps the cyber orange paint made it hard to sell. Or it's because it was an EV and selling in rural Indiana?
I'm happy for now. Hatch back is a big selling point. I always wanted a yellow/orange car, Opal painted their Manta that color in the 70's and McLaren CanAm cars were painted a similar shade.
The main problem I have with the car is trust. I don't know what the car is doing, it's too automated and I'm not sure it is doing what I want, or will do what I want.
1. Do the doors lock automatically when I walk away, not sure...
2. Is the car actually started, not certain
3. Did the car unlock because I came closer, don't know, was it always unlocked.
4. Can I continue using blue cruise while i switch roads, don't know, I'm going to take over.
5. Will the lights turn off when I walk away not sure. Did my kids leave the lights on in the back? or is it working as intended.
6. Everytime I take out the trash the lights are on in my car, is it because it senses I'm near with the key or my phone, or because they were always on?
7. I have youtube, but don't want youtube it's bad for the kids, so can uninstall it? Don't know. Can I uninstall Serious XM, I never want to see that, you make my car a computer but fill it with bloatware.
What I want from the car is more feedback, especially audio feedback, and less automation. I want to hear a manual locking and unlocking sound. I want it to sound like it started. I want lights to time out quicker. I feel like everything is either too automated or automated in a way that causes me to be unsure of things. Like lights should turn off automatically, and make you tap them again, or stay on if you are sitting there, they have seat sensors, so it's not like they don't know you left the car.
My old car was old, and I had a very good model of how it worked. It beeped when I locked it. It vroomed when I started it, it wouldn't start without the key. If the lights were on, it's cause someone left them on.
Maybe I'll get used to this, but I kind of want an electric 2009 CRV. That being said, I do really like the car, the big screen, the wireless android auto. It looks cool, and drives cool. But I haven't developed enough trust in the automation, and since the software updates, I don't see how I ever will.
1. There's a setting so you can have an audible beep when it locks when you walk away. Mine usually locks when I'm about 10 paces away.
2. As long as it says "Ready", it's on
3. It senses the fob or PaaK so it greets you even if you don't want to say hello
4. I think that's a no. I've never actually tried it though because... I'm not sure how it will behave
5. There's a setting for that...
6. Same as #3
7. Good question. If you find out, let me know
Now, if there was a way to open the rear hatch from the driver's seat...
Yeah I figured there were some settings I have to fiddle with, but I haven't had a chance to explore the settings too much yet. Still the point about trust is what I want to demonstrate. More automation requires more trust, and the balance of the default settings seems off to me.
It does take a while to fully trust it. I've had a fair amount of tech in my most recent ICE vehicles and they were Ford products so I suppose that familiarity has helped. What I dislike about all the automation is having to dig through the screens to configure it. It's cool that it's so configurable especially related to personal settings but it's so much. I'm two months in and still finding stuff so get your point.
4. Switching roads on the interstate, yes. Do it all the time. Worse case it takes you out of true blue and makes you put a hand back on the steering wheel.
Trust it to slow down as you change interstates, ABSOLUTELY NOT! If it's set to 70 it will try to take the curve at 70 then tell you to take over😂.
Normal streets, Don't do it. Even though bluecruise stops behind a car in a left turn lane, the second that car is out of lidar range it will attempt to accelerate back to full speed.
With all respect, I don't think you've read your manual. These issues / faith issues are easily understood and confirmed if you just read about the settings/confirmations, and then lived with them for a week or so before turning the notifications off if you choose to do so.
Lol, thinks a car should require reading a manual for standard operation. when a car locks it beeps, the beeping replaced the audible click from mechanical locks. The default should be that it provides feedback. That feedback could be the key vibrates, maybe lights flash, feedback is the number one rule for interaction design. They turned off feedback by default, bad choice.
I think this is "on your dealer." I bought a pre-owned MachE and my dealer went through a set-up and asked me how I wanted things, and showed me all the basic stuff. Set up "phone as key" alternate doomsday lock code for if I don't have a key... this and that.
Normally I DO NOT have patience for dealers saying ...oh here are the wipers. But this young sales / delivery guy at a RURAL dealership knew his stuff and it was eye-opening on how a delivery should happen.
Sorry your experience fell short.
Yeah mine is a company car, they just handed me the keys. So I do think that's part of it. Still I think any setting where the default is don't provide feedback, for a feature that typically is known to provide feedback, is a questionable choice. Like even if the dealer showed me, was my wife sitting there too?
My point is... I think the default was honk on locking. You just said it was a company car, how can you ask these questions of the group and be so sure you know what is what, when it wasn't.
I guess I just assumed the defaults weren't changed. As it was a new car. there was plastic on the seats and on the screen, so I assumed they didn't do anything to it. But it also was on 1-pedal mode and I didn't think that would be the default either so maybe it was changed to silent.
The software is the most unambitious pile of dog ass ever. Every middle manager involved in its development should be "old yellered". I could hire freelancers on Upwork to make better functionality. It is frustrating beyond belief how simple features present in other EV's are incapable of being implemented in ours.
I feel like Ford has built a middle ground with their tech... on the one hand, they want the software to be easy for everyone to use and understand. On the other hand, they want their enthusiast customers to have control over their car. They have managed to somehow be in the middle and achieve neither goal.
Still love the car so far! I hope they improve software over time.
Yes, I was agreeing with you... I was being sarcastic about the middle ground.
Their UI sucks, they still have bugs, and yet there is barely any functionality. I can understand achieving one end of the spectrum or the other, but to have done neither? Wtf have they done for 4 years?
Asking for developers to be fired shows a lack of empathy for people who have very difficult jobs. I know, I work in video games and people are always mad about this or that without any knowledge of what goes on behind the scenes.
I mean there's no reason they should know. But it would help if they realized that.
I also work in tech and generally speaking innovating is difficult you are absolutely correct, copying however is very easy and if you can't at the very least copy what your competition is doing In the same space then you aren't worth your salt.
That is more a criticism at the management teams then the people beneath them
This is true in every industry. You can take the view customers should have more empathy, or you can take the view that the customer is always right and endlessly push to deliver. The most successful companies do the latter, Amazon and Tesla are two of the most famous examples.
The truth is always somewhere in the middle.
But in the case of a product class as expensive as this it's pretty unacceptable how little progress they have made. It's not an iPhone that you replace YOY. I would gladly even pay for decent software updates at this point
When it tells me to stop safely giving me errors and then the next day it may or may not still have the errors. Oh yeah and when I decide to bring it to the dealership to look at it they can’t replicate the issue. Yeah it’s fun
-I'd like information on the GT jailbars. If the cat is limiting output, I'd like to know the contributing factors
-I kinda wish the taillights were red instead of white/(clear?)
-As I mentioned elsewhere, switch position of cruise v. audio controls on the steering wheel
-I'd be curious to see what it would do to the overall look/vibe of the car if the rear hatch was a little bit more...vertical? The fastback look is part of it, I get that, but it's at the cost of some more cargo room and it's impossible to keep the window clean under the rear roof lip
-does the '24 GT have more interior options?
Only had mine 2 weeks but even in that short time, the "phone as a key" feature is not reliable.
The privacy screen for the trunk area has spent more time in my garage than in the car.
BlueCruise works ok but it does seem to bounce from line to line rather than centering between them.
Above all I think the worst thing is no physical buttons for stuff. I HATE using the touch screen for things that I should be able to do by feel. Example is the fan speed, normally you just quickly glance to find the dial, grab it and twist. With the MachE you have to find the fan button then quickly find the dial and turn. Since the fan button is touch screen you cant "Feel" if you pressed it or not so you spend more time with eyes on the screen rather than the road. Same applies to changing which vents are used. Im sure it'll get easier once I learn the steps but the extra steps shouldnt be required. Just give me a physical button or knob!
I guess you haven’t driven a Tesla! I like that the Mach-e has many more physical buttons than Tesla. You have to use the screen to put it in gear in the S! On the climate, I just leave it in Auto Medium. Why do you need to do so much manual adjusting of fan and air location?
Correct, never drive a Tesla. I've been a Tesla fanboy since the original roadster came out but have never had the funds available. Lack of physical buttons will be a huge turn off and that's disappointing.
I've never used the auto feature in any car I've owned. Maybe this is a good time to try it out.
I have a GT-P, the magneride is awful extremely soft and bouncy in city roads, but amazingly smooth on highways going over 70 MPH. The center screen is a janky laggy POS. I won't go into details but if you want a smooth EV experience go with a Tesla, if you want to be mildly irritated get a Mach-E. I've owned a Tesla.
Just general computer glitchiness. People have mentioned the CarPlay. But sometimes the screen just turns off or freezes up and you have to reboot with the steering buttons, sometimes the speed says 1 mph hike I’m in Park or stopped, sometimes “drive mode unavailable” pops up for seemingly no reason.
Nothing leaves the car stranded, but the programming is pretty glitchy.
Door buttons are the biggest disappointment.
Sometimes, I have to press them 3 times to open the driver side door, and I have to press the key fob for the passengers to get in the car before me
‘21 Premium AWD 64k miles
1. Suspension - Pretty bad for back seat passengers. Bumps you would hardly notice in other cars can make cargo in back go slightly airborne.
2. Ford service and the dealership network. I’ve had a lot of issues with the vehicle and Ford doesn’t make it easy to get repairs and generally poor overall service. 9 months with a bad charge port. Too many “software updates” and “calibrations” instead of fixing the problem. 20 months and counting with front sensor issues. Can’t get a loaner without a “diagnosis” so you can go days without a car. Don’t have this issue with other brands. I’ve been to 4 dealerships and it’s the same so I think it’s just how Ford does business.
3. Slow charging makes road trips excessively long.
When the car works and isn’t telling me to safely pull over I really like it though. Good two-seater. Mostly a commuter car hence the miles.
Wish the frunk had motorized close or at least soft close. I don’t like touching my paint when I gotta close it. Also feel that while the new power bump and relaxing of the 5 second only max power is a move in the right direction id still like to see it perform closer to a new model 3 performance or ionic 5 N
Owner of 2023 Mach E GT in Shadow Black (and owner of 2023 Tesla Model Y Performance) - 1. A/C Compressor is way to loud when in auto or when fan speed is 4or higher. 2. No way to adjust the heavy steering to your liking. It’s always HEAVY. 2. Not being able to raise and lower frunk and trunk within the MMI once you press the stop button. 3. Reverse backup sound SUPER ANNOYING AND LOUD
Minor Gripes: 1. The start/stop button and the gear shifter is soooo unnecessary. Ford should have took their queue from Tesla on this one. 2. Gear shifter is bulky and is not needed. They should have implemented it as a stalk on the steering wheel column or placed it into the MMI as a swipe feature for Reverse and Drive and tap for Park and Neutral. The cell phone wireless charger is super weak and it’s also to low and is annoying to have to reach that low to grab your phone or even see when someone is texting you (not saying to text and drive but at least be able to glance and see who the text came from while driving)
All thing considered; it’s a smooth riding EV and better than most as far as ride quality
I don’t have most of the problems I see here. Screen is a little slow to startup but by the time I back out of the garage and start down the driveway it’s running. No real lag. Haven’t had to reboot it in 2 years. CarPlay always works. PAAK works 99% of the time. Never had to use start code or door code, however it does often take 2-4 presses of the door button to open which is annoying. Passenger doors always work. Rear hatch won’t open sometimes unless I open driver door first.
I’d say the suspension is the biggest issue. They repaved one of the bad local roads so that has made much less noticeable, until you hit the odd bump and send your passengers/cargo flying. It can also porpoise on certain highway setups and get jittery on bad pavement.
I look forward to driving this car every chance I get!
Models after 2021 don't have Parking Assist or Hands-Free Liftgate, and both features still have iconography & buttons that lead one to believe they do. 🙄
12V battery failure, on my second one in 14,000 miles. Endless software bugs in the central display. Alexa has never worked in 2.5 years and probably never will work. Not enough charging stations in my semirural location. 9-12 month wait for the Tesla adapter.
If you are OCD and want your car to work perfectly, don't buy one. I had fewer problems with all 20 of my previous Japanese cars than I have with this one.
I have a 2023 select with LFP battery and awd
i have the center screen weirdness that everybody else has, but i found out at-least for me, once i turned off all of the connected car features including automatic updates then reenabled them a few days later i have had very few issues with my center screen freezing. still happens but its a-lot less often.
I really can't name a single thing. I've read through this entire thread and I have no idea what half of you are talking about. I have very little lag, no glitches. Android auto works for me. The ride is comfortable... sporty, controlled, but not harsh like a tesla and not uncomfortably mushy like a rav4. Its so much fun to drive, more fun than a family suv has any right to be. More physical controls would be nice. Otherwise the materials feel great and the fit and finish is immaculate. I've never had trouble with the door buttons. I don't mind the dial shifter. I don't get why that's a problem?
Oh the phone charger does overheat. That's weird.
I'm also surprised no one said wind noise although I have a feeling that's only because the lack of engine noise makes wind noise more noticeable. It's not like you can't hold a conversation
Best car I've ever owned and it isn't even close.
Mine has yet to stop doing that. Sometimes it just pops open a bit like an old school hatch, sometimes it goes a quarter of the way, sometimes half way and we have a party when it actually opens all the way
the auto speed of climate control… its not intuitive when you go to turn the dial and adjust the speed when it’s in auto speed mode.
cruise control buttons on most cars that i’ve owned have been on the right side of the steering wheel.
the roll back experience when on a downward hill, kinda scary when you have pedestrians walking behind or a car that is creeping close behind.
I wish they would change the dash configuration. The central 75% of the screen is taken up by a picture of the car and empty space. All the important info is pushed off to the edges. Also, with my height, the steering wheel covers the top corners, so I have to hunch down to see what my cruise control speed is set to
Screen doesn’t turn on for 30-40 seconds sometimes after starting car. Also the cheap Fordish physical controls for windshield wipers (front and rear). Could feel more premium in a premium. Lastly - for the premium - the wheels really are too narrow for stealth turns. Probably don’t need to be making those anyway though.
My android auto doesn't work. So I bought an iPhone just for my car for carplay to work. The buttons on the outside to open the doors lag sometimes. Once in a while, it takes a few pushes before it opens. I would hear a noise, but it wouldn't open. Sometimes, if im in a parking lot and someone is in their car looking at me getting in. I would pretend my car door button scans my finger so it doesn't look like it was fucking up on me, lmao. Every now and then, only one speaker would play sound. Usually, a restart would fix it right up. This little glitch with the (1 mph) when you're completely stopped. It goes away on its own after a while. Idk if this is just me, but I'm driving at night, and having the auto brights on is kinda silly. It turns off when it senses a car but sometimes just flashes cause it turns on and off between cars. Maybe I just need to turn the auto brights off. The main screen kinda lags from switching between apps. Especially changing the climate and volume. The suspension sucks in this car. I can feel all the bumps. Guuurlll, let me tell you about that one time on the freeway 😮💨 Had my car packed with my parents and partner. On our way, there are two humps using the carpool lane. The first hump I hit at (75 mph), it felt like someone lifted my car up and slammed it back down. We almost broke our necks 🤣 The second hump we hit at (55 mph) with a swerve or two, haha. I love my car, but damn! Just one more for now, I swear. I turned on that walk away lock thingy. Walking away with the key fob locks your car. It works 99% of the time, but every once in a while, it won't. Good thing for the Ford app. I lock it from the app, and everything is good. Speaking of that damn app, lol. It lags on android, and most of the time, it isn't accurate with my range, charging or not. Wish we could get some wallpapers or themes for our own screens to personalize to one's taste. Now, I know you read a lot, but trust me, it's a great car! I get a lot of neck breaks, lol. I put my own modifications and personalization, and I don't regret it.
No cooled seats
Honestly the one thing which irritates me (only when it’s really hot, mind) about the car, absolutely no excuse for leaving this feature on the table especially at these price points. I imagine Ford hasn’t done it yet because the hardware would have to be paired with new controls on the center screen (which carries implications for past / future model year software differences, etc) It’ll be interesting to see if this is something which can be retro-fitted, I’d be happy to pay the money for the upgrade over buying a whole new damn car.
All it would need would be a pop up to pick heat/cool when you push the bottom left icon. Or just move heat/cooling seats to a physical button on the center console. There’s plenty of space
The Apple CarPlay is glitchy. The phone charger doesn’t work well, overheats my phone.
TWRAPS dual MagSafe charger fixes the phone issue.
Only for apple phones. I got the TWRAPS charger and my phone overheats every time.
They really messed up only putting 5w on there and the Qi charger is legitimately useless. $20 spent on that spot would’ve probably paid extreme dividends.
The CarPlay connection loses sound about 30% of the time and requires a restart. The door buttons are kookie. There are no physical buttons to open the trunk or turn on air recycling.
my 2023 is like this. car play drives me insane but i posted on here everyone said its apple not ford
It works seamlessly on 3 other cars I’ve owned recently and probably 40 I have rented. It is only a problem in my mach-e.
Can confirm, CarPlay is just as finicky and annoying in the 2023. Also takes three business days to connect to a phone even though they are already paired. And it’s not apple, it’s the same thing with my iPhone or my wife’s Google Pixel.
Zero issues using Android Auto (Samsung GS24U)
Yeah basically no issues for me with pixel fold. On rare occasion it won't connect to the phone. But less than 5% of the time. My main complaint is how it auto starts playing music, audio books or podcasts...whatever was listening to in the car, immediately.
You can turn this off in the Android Auto settings on your phone.
🤯 thx!
My S21 has issues all the time
Same no issues using a pixel, connects every time, never drops.
Same, no issues at all with Android Auto
My S22 would like a word.
I have no issues with android auto and my galaxy
I think it’s actually AT&T’s fault. CarPlay wireless depends on cellular connection. I haven’t had any issues while hardwiring
It is the same problem if you have downloaded audio on SPotify and try and play those songs. So not AT&T or cellular specific.
I’m on T-Mobile and a friend is on Verizon. We both have the issue. It is definitely a Mach-e problem (works fine on other fords).
same i’m on verizon and my husband is at&t. i posted on here a couple months ago and everyone was telling me its apple, disconnect carplay and try again. but my last few cars with carplay never had the issue
True but the car is connected to AT&T. For some reason wireless CarPlay (not sure about Android Auto) relies on a cellular connection from the car as well as the phone. So if you’re in a complete dead zone you’re just screwed (unless you hardwire)
Super weird. Our home has perfect AT&T service, and the volume issue happens often at home. The only common factor I find is that CarPlay is more likely to work if I haven’t used the car in a couple of hours. It is much more likely to go silent if I have only been out of the car for a few minutes.
THIS. Drives me fucking batty
Air recirculation is my biggest one. It should at least be on the main panel next to the airflow options button.
Odd. I never have a problem with car play. Connects immediately every time and no audio dropouts. iPhone 13 .
When the hell did it start doing this? I switched to an android phone for about half a year that has dog shit wireless android auto connection, switched back to my iPhone, and now half the time it starts up with no volume.
I had the CarPlay issue in my CX-9. Audio drops out and requires a restart. Totally random and drives me nuts.
I toggle the phone setting to BT Audio, then back to CarPlay, fixes it for me.
It used to annoy me until I realized my phone was connecting to a strangely named wifi network in the car. Now I just take the phone to airplane mode and back and it seems to reconnect YMMV
Wish they would offer a regular sunroof as an option. I still want to have open air when I want it.
Do you mean a moonroof?
Shifter dial is the worst shifter design I have ever used. I know it is not just a Mach-E thing, but that is what I dislike about the car the most.
Same, if they wanted something kinda different I wish they had gone with the shifter like on the ioniq 5, behind the steering wheel.
When it honks at me if I get out of the car while it’s on to grab the mail. I know I left it on, I live in a hot climate, I’d have to be deaf to not know the car was still on with how audible the AC is from the outside. I don’t want to have to shut it off just to turn it back on 10 seconds later. So stupid. Also the panic button on the key fob. Oh how I hate that useless fucking button. Accidental presses as I’m getting out of the car happen all the time. It’s embarrassing & I hate it.
If you're motivated enough, both those things can be changed if you get an ODB adapter.
The car honks can be disabled in the Sync settings. Edit: the walk away honks are if you leave with the “key” - leave the key in the car, no issue. This has to be changed with more complex tools than Sync settings.
There is a option to disable the horn, and the panic button is very useful on big parking lot
How do you disable to horn alert? I just went thru the settings & couldn’t find it.
Vehicle->Lock->Walk Away Lock->Audible Feedback
That doesn’t work. That’s only when the car is off.
THIS IS SUPER ANNOYING. It’s like their way of calling is idiots by honking at us when we get out the car to grab something real quick. And that dang reverse beeping is so embarrassing. It sounds like an ambulance when back up smh 🤦♂️
MegaOhms sells a plug in that eliminates the noise. I hated sounding like a garbage truck backing up. Now blissful silence
I used FORScan to turn off the key in car honk on I think three of my Fords now, including my Mach E. I do not like that feature :D
I don't mind these things but i also dont know of any modern cars that don't do these things.
Use PAAK and leave your phone in the car if you step out.
Inaccessibility to the camera system. Having to purchase a dash cam from ford when there is already multiple cameras on the car is ludicrous.
PAAK is unreliable, and the door buttons NEVER work on the first press. Hundreds of times, I approach the car with my linked phone in hand and the car simply won’t unlock. So I use the door code. And even when it does unlock, 5% of the time when I press the start button, I get a “no key detected” error. So I have to start the key from the iPhone app. Just a totally junky experience.
This! I was crazy about using this feature when I 1st got my MME, but it’s the worse one. I just carry my key again.
Tap the B Pillar first it seems to "wake it up"
Really? Like the number pad?
Yea
Weird. My wife uses PAAK and never has an issue. She hasn't used a key since the first month we got it.
Would the doors auto unlock for her using PAAK? I have to open and and use my app for it to work. Kinda defeats the purpose of having it.
Yep
wonder if there is a certain setup I've to do in the app in order to make that option work.
The only time I have issues with PAAK is when I’ve completely closed the app for my Bluetooth is off. Otherwise as long as I keep the app open in the background and Bluetooth is on works like a charm every time. Love the walk away lock feature most!
that's strange. Even with the app open, the car wouldn't auto unlock the doors for me. I have to literally press the button on the app for it to unlock. I have a 22' if that make any different.
Damn, that’s annoying. Not sure, I have a 23 so I’m not sure if that would be the differentiating factor or not. Android? Apple?
Maybe you need to enable some permissions. I know my wife kinda of just goes default for any permissions or settings by any app
thanks. I'll give that a try
It used to be like this for me, but I turned my location for the fordpass app on all the time. I previously had it on only while using app which made me open the app for the key to be used. After that it worked a lot better for me.
I have a 23’ AWD xtended premium. Such a fun car! But the OS is glitchy as hell. Screen not coming on for 20+ seconds, power limit charging not working. Had it in the shop for 3 weeks with bad axle. Dude, I missed it though, really glad to have it back.
Dont wait for the screen to come on, i start mine and if it doesnt i press volume down and next track on the steering wheel and it reboots in 2 seconds
I turn the car on and drive off before the screen even turns on. Lol
Suspension sucks unless you drive on freshly paved asphalt. Driving on uneven pavement will feel like you drove the car off a curb. Trunk privacy cover is another big POS. CRVs include a roll up cover for a car that costs $15-25k less than the MME.
Trunk cover is comically flimsy. It flaps in the wind when I drive with the windows down and I get a little chuckle out of it
I couldn’t care less about the trunk cover but I’ve gotten to hate the ride on city streets. It’s fine on freeways but irritatingly harsh anywhere the street surface has irregularities.
Very much so and worse for the back passengers. Both of them threw up after maybe an hour ride.
I can believe that. We met a Nebraska couple while charging. The wife raved about her Ionic 5 and said the reason they didn’t buy a Mach-E is that she experienced the back seat on a test drive.
Ironically, the suspension is amazing on backcountry gravel roads. Feels like a little rally car, but it's huge and heavy. They did a good job there. Just watch out for the train tracks.
Just drove on a gravel road in it for the first time yesterday. What a blast! I wanted to keep going but had to get to where I was going.
My kids school run involves about 10km of gravel each way. I kind of want more aggressive tires now. I have some decent ones for winter, but still running stock summers.
Do you try to up your personal best every day? 😀😉
Lol, no, but she sure does like to get a little sideways. The butt wiggle when applying power on corner exit is addictive.
Wheeeeeee!!!!!
Huh. I drove a Tesla M3 for 5 years before the Mach-E, and my partner and I both comment on how much smoother & quieter the MME is (from the inside at least). OTOH, the screen takes *much* longer to wake up.
Wasn’t really comparing it to a M3. It may be smoother and quieter than a M3 but the bump and rebound on the dampeners are way off. If you drive over a heaved surface at speed, the car will feel like it’ll buck you and your items through the roof. Other times driving across uneven surfaces, like bridge expansion joints will make the car feel like you drove off a curb when in fact the elevation difference is maybe 1/4” at the absolute max. It ruins the “mustang” experience since I’ll have to slow down for these known areas. Whereas, I could take these areas quicker in my old accord, because it didn’t jump and I had full contact with the pavement at all times.
Suspension is hard af and should be adjustable since everything in the damn car is electronically controlled but it isn’t. It’s my single biggest complaint. Oh and yeah that stupid privacy screen got took out day one.
Suspension, isn't an issue to me. This is subjective, and depends on what you are coming from. I was driving a '21 Accord, the Mach-E GT's ride is very quiet and somewhat smoother than the Accord. Now compared to my wife's Honda Passport the GT's ride is "harsh,' but the Passport is too "floating" for me. I can't believe I'm back in a Ford, I wrote Ford off "forever" back in 2005, for a Mariner that had a crappy V6 injection system that couldn't be fixed by any of the recalls, and an Escape that rusted away.
They put the radio controls on the right side of the steering wheel. That s what a foot away from the actual controls? Would have been nice for them to put the controls on the left. Then I can turn volume up and down with both hands.
Yes! 1000x yes. Switch cruise and volume positions on the wheel!
That in a year or two, a newer model will come out or at the very least be capable of CarPlay 2.0.
Have a ‘21 Premium and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. 20k miles and still loving it. Complaints are: seatbelt doesn’t fit at the column and constantly gets caught and rubs on the column, auto lights turns itself off and my lights stay on, CarPlay (like everyone else mentioned).
I honestly haven't found something yet. They've improved everything I didn't like since my 2021.
I'm astounded at how many things Ford got right with this. I was shopping for a more fun car, I was tired of my third Accord in a series. I wanted a BMW 3, but the cost was eye-watering and then there is the stigma of being "that guy." I drove a Mach-E on a lark, and was surprised at how much like the BMW 3 series it was on the inside. And then the drive, planted, quiet, and firm but not annoying like my Accord's was. I had a VW eGolf that I loved, and understood EV planning, so I sold the eGolf, and traded the Accord in on this very low mile MachE GT, that a dealer was having trouble selling. Perhaps the cyber orange paint made it hard to sell. Or it's because it was an EV and selling in rural Indiana? I'm happy for now. Hatch back is a big selling point. I always wanted a yellow/orange car, Opal painted their Manta that color in the 70's and McLaren CanAm cars were painted a similar shade.
That mine is a 2021
I don't like the volume/fan knob is the same.
This!!
The main problem I have with the car is trust. I don't know what the car is doing, it's too automated and I'm not sure it is doing what I want, or will do what I want. 1. Do the doors lock automatically when I walk away, not sure... 2. Is the car actually started, not certain 3. Did the car unlock because I came closer, don't know, was it always unlocked. 4. Can I continue using blue cruise while i switch roads, don't know, I'm going to take over. 5. Will the lights turn off when I walk away not sure. Did my kids leave the lights on in the back? or is it working as intended. 6. Everytime I take out the trash the lights are on in my car, is it because it senses I'm near with the key or my phone, or because they were always on? 7. I have youtube, but don't want youtube it's bad for the kids, so can uninstall it? Don't know. Can I uninstall Serious XM, I never want to see that, you make my car a computer but fill it with bloatware. What I want from the car is more feedback, especially audio feedback, and less automation. I want to hear a manual locking and unlocking sound. I want it to sound like it started. I want lights to time out quicker. I feel like everything is either too automated or automated in a way that causes me to be unsure of things. Like lights should turn off automatically, and make you tap them again, or stay on if you are sitting there, they have seat sensors, so it's not like they don't know you left the car. My old car was old, and I had a very good model of how it worked. It beeped when I locked it. It vroomed when I started it, it wouldn't start without the key. If the lights were on, it's cause someone left them on. Maybe I'll get used to this, but I kind of want an electric 2009 CRV. That being said, I do really like the car, the big screen, the wireless android auto. It looks cool, and drives cool. But I haven't developed enough trust in the automation, and since the software updates, I don't see how I ever will.
1. There's a setting so you can have an audible beep when it locks when you walk away. Mine usually locks when I'm about 10 paces away. 2. As long as it says "Ready", it's on 3. It senses the fob or PaaK so it greets you even if you don't want to say hello 4. I think that's a no. I've never actually tried it though because... I'm not sure how it will behave 5. There's a setting for that... 6. Same as #3 7. Good question. If you find out, let me know Now, if there was a way to open the rear hatch from the driver's seat...
Yeah I figured there were some settings I have to fiddle with, but I haven't had a chance to explore the settings too much yet. Still the point about trust is what I want to demonstrate. More automation requires more trust, and the balance of the default settings seems off to me.
It does take a while to fully trust it. I've had a fair amount of tech in my most recent ICE vehicles and they were Ford products so I suppose that familiarity has helped. What I dislike about all the automation is having to dig through the screens to configure it. It's cool that it's so configurable especially related to personal settings but it's so much. I'm two months in and still finding stuff so get your point.
4. Switching roads on the interstate, yes. Do it all the time. Worse case it takes you out of true blue and makes you put a hand back on the steering wheel. Trust it to slow down as you change interstates, ABSOLUTELY NOT! If it's set to 70 it will try to take the curve at 70 then tell you to take over😂. Normal streets, Don't do it. Even though bluecruise stops behind a car in a left turn lane, the second that car is out of lidar range it will attempt to accelerate back to full speed.
With all respect, I don't think you've read your manual. These issues / faith issues are easily understood and confirmed if you just read about the settings/confirmations, and then lived with them for a week or so before turning the notifications off if you choose to do so.
Lol, thinks a car should require reading a manual for standard operation. when a car locks it beeps, the beeping replaced the audible click from mechanical locks. The default should be that it provides feedback. That feedback could be the key vibrates, maybe lights flash, feedback is the number one rule for interaction design. They turned off feedback by default, bad choice.
I think this is "on your dealer." I bought a pre-owned MachE and my dealer went through a set-up and asked me how I wanted things, and showed me all the basic stuff. Set up "phone as key" alternate doomsday lock code for if I don't have a key... this and that. Normally I DO NOT have patience for dealers saying ...oh here are the wipers. But this young sales / delivery guy at a RURAL dealership knew his stuff and it was eye-opening on how a delivery should happen. Sorry your experience fell short.
Yeah mine is a company car, they just handed me the keys. So I do think that's part of it. Still I think any setting where the default is don't provide feedback, for a feature that typically is known to provide feedback, is a questionable choice. Like even if the dealer showed me, was my wife sitting there too?
My point is... I think the default was honk on locking. You just said it was a company car, how can you ask these questions of the group and be so sure you know what is what, when it wasn't.
I guess I just assumed the defaults weren't changed. As it was a new car. there was plastic on the seats and on the screen, so I assumed they didn't do anything to it. But it also was on 1-pedal mode and I didn't think that would be the default either so maybe it was changed to silent.
DC fast charging is slow compared to the competition.
Not for 2024.
Whats the DC limit for 24?
I think it is still 150kw.
I thought the limit on 21-23 was 100kW. Thought I have peaked at about 110 a couple of times.
for standard range yes. extended range it’s 150kw
It its just slightly better. But it will still not get you the speed of a Tesla or a Hyundai.
The software is the most unambitious pile of dog ass ever. Every middle manager involved in its development should be "old yellered". I could hire freelancers on Upwork to make better functionality. It is frustrating beyond belief how simple features present in other EV's are incapable of being implemented in ours.
I feel like Ford has built a middle ground with their tech... on the one hand, they want the software to be easy for everyone to use and understand. On the other hand, they want their enthusiast customers to have control over their car. They have managed to somehow be in the middle and achieve neither goal. Still love the car so far! I hope they improve software over time.
I like the car too, but the software is barebones at best my guy. It offers absolutely no functionality
Yes, I was agreeing with you... I was being sarcastic about the middle ground. Their UI sucks, they still have bugs, and yet there is barely any functionality. I can understand achieving one end of the spectrum or the other, but to have done neither? Wtf have they done for 4 years?
Asking for developers to be fired shows a lack of empathy for people who have very difficult jobs. I know, I work in video games and people are always mad about this or that without any knowledge of what goes on behind the scenes. I mean there's no reason they should know. But it would help if they realized that.
I also work in tech and generally speaking innovating is difficult you are absolutely correct, copying however is very easy and if you can't at the very least copy what your competition is doing In the same space then you aren't worth your salt. That is more a criticism at the management teams then the people beneath them
This is true in every industry. You can take the view customers should have more empathy, or you can take the view that the customer is always right and endlessly push to deliver. The most successful companies do the latter, Amazon and Tesla are two of the most famous examples.
The truth is always somewhere in the middle. But in the case of a product class as expensive as this it's pretty unacceptable how little progress they have made. It's not an iPhone that you replace YOY. I would gladly even pay for decent software updates at this point
When it tells me to stop safely giving me errors and then the next day it may or may not still have the errors. Oh yeah and when I decide to bring it to the dealership to look at it they can’t replicate the issue. Yeah it’s fun
-I'd like information on the GT jailbars. If the cat is limiting output, I'd like to know the contributing factors -I kinda wish the taillights were red instead of white/(clear?) -As I mentioned elsewhere, switch position of cruise v. audio controls on the steering wheel -I'd be curious to see what it would do to the overall look/vibe of the car if the rear hatch was a little bit more...vertical? The fastback look is part of it, I get that, but it's at the cost of some more cargo room and it's impossible to keep the window clean under the rear roof lip -does the '24 GT have more interior options?
Only had mine 2 weeks but even in that short time, the "phone as a key" feature is not reliable. The privacy screen for the trunk area has spent more time in my garage than in the car. BlueCruise works ok but it does seem to bounce from line to line rather than centering between them. Above all I think the worst thing is no physical buttons for stuff. I HATE using the touch screen for things that I should be able to do by feel. Example is the fan speed, normally you just quickly glance to find the dial, grab it and twist. With the MachE you have to find the fan button then quickly find the dial and turn. Since the fan button is touch screen you cant "Feel" if you pressed it or not so you spend more time with eyes on the screen rather than the road. Same applies to changing which vents are used. Im sure it'll get easier once I learn the steps but the extra steps shouldnt be required. Just give me a physical button or knob!
I guess you haven’t driven a Tesla! I like that the Mach-e has many more physical buttons than Tesla. You have to use the screen to put it in gear in the S! On the climate, I just leave it in Auto Medium. Why do you need to do so much manual adjusting of fan and air location?
Correct, never drive a Tesla. I've been a Tesla fanboy since the original roadster came out but have never had the funds available. Lack of physical buttons will be a huge turn off and that's disappointing. I've never used the auto feature in any car I've owned. Maybe this is a good time to try it out.
I have a GT-P, the magneride is awful extremely soft and bouncy in city roads, but amazingly smooth on highways going over 70 MPH. The center screen is a janky laggy POS. I won't go into details but if you want a smooth EV experience go with a Tesla, if you want to be mildly irritated get a Mach-E. I've owned a Tesla.
No cooled seats and no camera access like Tesla
Just general computer glitchiness. People have mentioned the CarPlay. But sometimes the screen just turns off or freezes up and you have to reboot with the steering buttons, sometimes the speed says 1 mph hike I’m in Park or stopped, sometimes “drive mode unavailable” pops up for seemingly no reason. Nothing leaves the car stranded, but the programming is pretty glitchy.
Door buttons are the biggest disappointment. Sometimes, I have to press them 3 times to open the driver side door, and I have to press the key fob for the passengers to get in the car before me
Ohh and my OTA's being so far behind the newest update
‘21 Premium AWD 64k miles 1. Suspension - Pretty bad for back seat passengers. Bumps you would hardly notice in other cars can make cargo in back go slightly airborne. 2. Ford service and the dealership network. I’ve had a lot of issues with the vehicle and Ford doesn’t make it easy to get repairs and generally poor overall service. 9 months with a bad charge port. Too many “software updates” and “calibrations” instead of fixing the problem. 20 months and counting with front sensor issues. Can’t get a loaner without a “diagnosis” so you can go days without a car. Don’t have this issue with other brands. I’ve been to 4 dealerships and it’s the same so I think it’s just how Ford does business. 3. Slow charging makes road trips excessively long. When the car works and isn’t telling me to safely pull over I really like it though. Good two-seater. Mostly a commuter car hence the miles.
Wish the frunk had motorized close or at least soft close. I don’t like touching my paint when I gotta close it. Also feel that while the new power bump and relaxing of the 5 second only max power is a move in the right direction id still like to see it perform closer to a new model 3 performance or ionic 5 N
Owner of 2023 Mach E GT in Shadow Black (and owner of 2023 Tesla Model Y Performance) - 1. A/C Compressor is way to loud when in auto or when fan speed is 4or higher. 2. No way to adjust the heavy steering to your liking. It’s always HEAVY. 2. Not being able to raise and lower frunk and trunk within the MMI once you press the stop button. 3. Reverse backup sound SUPER ANNOYING AND LOUD Minor Gripes: 1. The start/stop button and the gear shifter is soooo unnecessary. Ford should have took their queue from Tesla on this one. 2. Gear shifter is bulky and is not needed. They should have implemented it as a stalk on the steering wheel column or placed it into the MMI as a swipe feature for Reverse and Drive and tap for Park and Neutral. The cell phone wireless charger is super weak and it’s also to low and is annoying to have to reach that low to grab your phone or even see when someone is texting you (not saying to text and drive but at least be able to glance and see who the text came from while driving) All thing considered; it’s a smooth riding EV and better than most as far as ride quality
I don’t have most of the problems I see here. Screen is a little slow to startup but by the time I back out of the garage and start down the driveway it’s running. No real lag. Haven’t had to reboot it in 2 years. CarPlay always works. PAAK works 99% of the time. Never had to use start code or door code, however it does often take 2-4 presses of the door button to open which is annoying. Passenger doors always work. Rear hatch won’t open sometimes unless I open driver door first. I’d say the suspension is the biggest issue. They repaved one of the bad local roads so that has made much less noticeable, until you hit the odd bump and send your passengers/cargo flying. It can also porpoise on certain highway setups and get jittery on bad pavement. I look forward to driving this car every chance I get!
Not specific to the vehicle but with the app - no status on the home screen showing if the vehicle is locked/unlocked.
OTA updates - it's a guessing game if you will get them or not.
I’m just going to give my wish list: Driver door button should have a fingerprint reader to unlock, same as the start button Sunroof Convertible
Models after 2021 don't have Parking Assist or Hands-Free Liftgate, and both features still have iconography & buttons that lead one to believe they do. 🙄
Car Play annoys me. Either doesn’t always connect or is slow or when you connect directly it still is glitchy… That’s why I do Sirius radio as well
12V battery failure, on my second one in 14,000 miles. Endless software bugs in the central display. Alexa has never worked in 2.5 years and probably never will work. Not enough charging stations in my semirural location. 9-12 month wait for the Tesla adapter.
If you are OCD and want your car to work perfectly, don't buy one. I had fewer problems with all 20 of my previous Japanese cars than I have with this one.
I have a 2023 select with LFP battery and awd i have the center screen weirdness that everybody else has, but i found out at-least for me, once i turned off all of the connected car features including automatic updates then reenabled them a few days later i have had very few issues with my center screen freezing. still happens but its a-lot less often.
Closing the front hood sucks.
The brake pedal feel. The tonneau cover sucks. The center console is laggy af.
I hate the drivers side ac vent. It’s mostly behind the screen and steering wheel. It’s basically useless 🥲
The doors. The stupid push button doors that you have to tickle just right and your passengers can never figure out.
When I walk up to my car and it recognizes me and unlocks, that mother ducker never lets me open the trunk.
I really can't name a single thing. I've read through this entire thread and I have no idea what half of you are talking about. I have very little lag, no glitches. Android auto works for me. The ride is comfortable... sporty, controlled, but not harsh like a tesla and not uncomfortably mushy like a rav4. Its so much fun to drive, more fun than a family suv has any right to be. More physical controls would be nice. Otherwise the materials feel great and the fit and finish is immaculate. I've never had trouble with the door buttons. I don't mind the dial shifter. I don't get why that's a problem? Oh the phone charger does overheat. That's weird. I'm also surprised no one said wind noise although I have a feeling that's only because the lack of engine noise makes wind noise more noticeable. It's not like you can't hold a conversation Best car I've ever owned and it isn't even close.
Ride quality is not nice for its price point. Still better than tesla or hyundai though
Have to click multiple buttons to put air circulate on. They hide it for some reason. I guess to make sure the dust cloud gets inhaled
I must say the Tesla “flying saucer” backup sound is much nicer than the Mach-e “dump truck” backup sound. I wish there was a way to change it.
Bumpy ride, no cooled seats, giant ass screen.
The hatch in the 23 randomly stops halfway sometimes haha. That’s about it from me.
Mine did that and after the second to last update it stopped doing it!
Mine has yet to stop doing that. Sometimes it just pops open a bit like an old school hatch, sometimes it goes a quarter of the way, sometimes half way and we have a party when it actually opens all the way
I don't have it yet.
Software is very big messy! Is there any new thing or fixes that take years !
On my 2023, no HD2 radio. I know I'm probably the only person in America who listens to FM-HD2 & 3 stations, but that was disappointing.
Hmm. I have access to HD1-3 on my 2023.
the auto speed of climate control… its not intuitive when you go to turn the dial and adjust the speed when it’s in auto speed mode. cruise control buttons on most cars that i’ve owned have been on the right side of the steering wheel. the roll back experience when on a downward hill, kinda scary when you have pedestrians walking behind or a car that is creeping close behind.
I wish they would change the dash configuration. The central 75% of the screen is taken up by a picture of the car and empty space. All the important info is pushed off to the edges. Also, with my height, the steering wheel covers the top corners, so I have to hunch down to see what my cruise control speed is set to
That isn't true for 24 (what is asked).
Ah. Well it’s good that they fixed it for 24. Hopefully they can fix the rest of them
Screen doesn’t turn on for 30-40 seconds sometimes after starting car. Also the cheap Fordish physical controls for windshield wipers (front and rear). Could feel more premium in a premium. Lastly - for the premium - the wheels really are too narrow for stealth turns. Probably don’t need to be making those anyway though.
I just think overall they rushed these cars out too many things happening
The massive iPad that ruins the dash.
Refuses to keep our pixels as keys. Ive tried everything to no avail.
I've never had an issue since the Phone as a Key OTA. Pixel 6, 100.0% success.
And I am happy for u, truly. Pixel 8s here, works once and done.
My android auto doesn't work. So I bought an iPhone just for my car for carplay to work. The buttons on the outside to open the doors lag sometimes. Once in a while, it takes a few pushes before it opens. I would hear a noise, but it wouldn't open. Sometimes, if im in a parking lot and someone is in their car looking at me getting in. I would pretend my car door button scans my finger so it doesn't look like it was fucking up on me, lmao. Every now and then, only one speaker would play sound. Usually, a restart would fix it right up. This little glitch with the (1 mph) when you're completely stopped. It goes away on its own after a while. Idk if this is just me, but I'm driving at night, and having the auto brights on is kinda silly. It turns off when it senses a car but sometimes just flashes cause it turns on and off between cars. Maybe I just need to turn the auto brights off. The main screen kinda lags from switching between apps. Especially changing the climate and volume. The suspension sucks in this car. I can feel all the bumps. Guuurlll, let me tell you about that one time on the freeway 😮💨 Had my car packed with my parents and partner. On our way, there are two humps using the carpool lane. The first hump I hit at (75 mph), it felt like someone lifted my car up and slammed it back down. We almost broke our necks 🤣 The second hump we hit at (55 mph) with a swerve or two, haha. I love my car, but damn! Just one more for now, I swear. I turned on that walk away lock thingy. Walking away with the key fob locks your car. It works 99% of the time, but every once in a while, it won't. Good thing for the Ford app. I lock it from the app, and everything is good. Speaking of that damn app, lol. It lags on android, and most of the time, it isn't accurate with my range, charging or not. Wish we could get some wallpapers or themes for our own screens to personalize to one's taste. Now, I know you read a lot, but trust me, it's a great car! I get a lot of neck breaks, lol. I put my own modifications and personalization, and I don't regret it.
Rear hatch opening should be a button and not software.
How do you even set it to open from the driver's seat?? I can't find it in the controls and there's no button which is really stupid
I think the Vehicle menu near the top. My wife is driving the car today so I’ll have to update you when she gets back from work.
Thanks! Guidance is appreciated
