Ford Mustang Mach-E Problems by Year

In the UK, it appeals to company car drivers and families wanting a sporty, standout EV.

- ✓Crucially, check if the High Voltage Battery Junction Box (HVBJB) recall has been completed; failure of this part will cause the car to lose motive power.
- ✓Test the massive SYNC 4A central touchscreen for lag or freezing, and ensure the car is receiving OTA (Over-The-Air) software updates.
- ✓Verify the Phone As A Key (PAAK) functionality works reliably, as early cars struggled with Bluetooth connectivity issues.
- ✓Check the operation of the electronic push-button door handles (E-Latch) to ensure they open cleanly, particularly in cold weather.
- ✓Listen for any clunking from the suspension over rough roads; some owners report noisy dampers or anti-roll bar bushes.
- ✓Inspect the glass panoramic roof (if fitted) to ensure it is properly sealed, as early US-built models had recalls for improperly bonded glass.
