Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
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. Roadside assistance noted the 12-volt battery at the front of the vehicle was bulging and potentially overheated creating a potential explosion hazard and lack of electrical support to the main vehicle.

Ford Motor Company
Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Completely locked out of car without any access. No way of unlocking car. I tried via key fob, key pad, approach, mobile app. The locks are completely electronic, so no way to mechanically unlock. Had to call a tow truck to tow it to the dealership where I bought it just a couple weeks earlier. 2 days earlier, an OTA update was installed that was labeled as improving battery optimization. This seems to be what triggered the issue. Many owners of 2023 and 2024 Mustang Mach E's are experiencing the same issue.
