was driving my 2022 Mustang Mach-E in "One-Pedal" Whisper mode on. I always drive in that mode because it has a great feature where as soon as I take my foot off the accelerator the car slows down significantly.
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.
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 main screen of the Mach is is uncontrollably restarting at random. This means the backup camera and any visual camera sensors are effectively unsable. Same with radio, hvac, car settings, etc. tons of people on Reddit complaining too.
My 2021 Mustang MachE experienced a failure of the relay which connects its high-voltage battery to the rest of the car. The car is an EV, and the result of this is that the drive-motor had no power, and the car would not move.
