Do you have the max tow package? I’m wondering if that took longer on mine.

Just got my truck back last night - six weeks to the day. It’s sounds like you’ll beat that by several weeks. 👍

Thanks for your reply. I understand where you’re coming from. I think if there are additional issues I’ll consider that route. Thanks!

I think this is one of the pitfalls of owning a newer model EV. There aren’t enough parts to even make the vehicles in a timely manner (mine took seven months). When I first talked to the dealer service rep he said the first time he saw this it took three months. He then estimated ten days based...

Could you elaborate on your reasoning for suggesting the buyback route? This seems like a very long process. Do you think the truck might be doomed to have other problems?

When it happened to me it wasn’t silent. I even felt it. In my opinion, the only reason the truck keeps going in these situations is because there’s another working motor.

That was my understanding. But that was also nearly six weeks ago when I picked up the loaner vehicle. With the amount of damage and the tight tolerances, I don’t see how they could do it otherwise.

I actually already have a MME. My hope is that this was a fluke. If the truck has another major problem, it could change my mind though.

Added photos. It looks like something catastrophically failed in the differential.

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing. I’d be willing to bet this is the same thing.

Thanks! It gives me a better idea of which section may have blown apart.

I’m certain it was an internal failure. Something broke while I was slowing using the regenerative braking. The force from the motor flying apart punched a hole in the housing. Definitely not external debris because the motor is protected by a steel plate. If I can get photos, I’ll share them.

My expectation is that Ford will cover everything under warranty. I hope that this is just going to be a big inconvenience - not having my truck and driving around an ICE Explorer. (My wife and I are now fighting over the Mach-e). And I think I’m pretty fortunate that this happened close to...

It was built in October of ‘23 and delivered at the end of January.

Three weeks ago (April 11th) after 3,700 miles on my 2023 Lariat, the rear motor had a catastrophic failure. I was decelerating from about 40mph and turning into my neighborhood when I felt something weird in the back of the truck. As I came out of the turn and began accelerating something...

Thanks for the explanation. It seems like a simple software solution.

Every now and then, send a request on the feedback widget.

How is it that my Mach-e can stay in unbridled (sport mode) but not my Lightning?

Did you turn off Share Driving Data in connectivity settings?

I understand now. However, for me, this is a distinction without a practical difference. Couldn't I be charged more because I was put in the same category as everyone else who does rapid accelerations? It wouldn't be individualized per se, but my rates could go up based on a particular risk...
