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. I feel safer in this mode especially in high traffic or on the freeway. I was very slowly turning into a parking spot in a private parking lot, stepped on brake to put car into Park when the car lurched forward without me touching anything, I had no control of my car no matter how hard I pressed on the brake. My car was driving itself!! when it lurched forward it hit a car parked directly in front of it on its right front side then pushing that vehicle about 2 feet! it did not stop even then, it veered to the right and forward and hit another parked car in the next parking space to the first car that was hit. My car pushed the 2nd car about 2-3 feet before it stopped almost hitting the car parked next to it!! There was an eye witness. This event scared me to death. It was as if someone else was driving my car. I had absolutely NO CONTROL of it. It would NOT STOP. I am soo grateful this happened in a parking lot and not in fast traffic or God forbid the freeway. I would not get back inside my car and never will. We had it towed to a certified repair shop. My car sustained front end & right side front damage. The first car hit sustained right front damage. The 2nd car hit was parked next to the first car hit and sustained right front & right side passenger door damage. No injury. The repair shop has a certified EV Specialist who is going to read the recorder to see how it malfunctioned. There was a police report but haven't received it as of yet. We contacted Ford where we purchased our car. They told us it would be better once repaired to sell the car ourselves as it could take a very long time for Ford to agree to buy it back my car back! only has $9,000 miles on it!! I hope Ford takes this issue seriously!!!

Car was stopped at the top of a hill. Driver put the car in park and exited to talk to a security guard to raise a security barrier. Car began to roll down a hill and didn't stop until it hit a metal security gate 250 yards away. Car was totaled as result of collision with gate. No one was hurt. It would appear that the transmission/engine did not stay in park and began to roll and that none of the other safety features stopped the car. There were no passengers in the car at the time of the accident and no airbags went off.

Power steering went out including 10+ error / fault codes displaying on the dash on the vehicle after planned having vehicle towed but was back to normal after a restart. Exiting the parking lot at a low speed power steering failed again resulting in a low speed crash. After having it towed to dealership they reviewed software on the vehicle seeing vehicle has has fault codes and module errors for 3+ months on their Ford telemetries cloud system showing module and system errors every other day. Dealership asked if I ever got notice via vehicle or app about these errors which I never received. Ford Legal was notified and said vehicle did have a possible Bluecruise recall and nothing wrong with vehicle without having a Ford Engineer viewing the vehicle. My dealership still said cloud system showed all these errors which didn't seem be an issue to ford. My insurance said they'd make repairs but if my dealership said vehicle isn't safe they recommenced fix what is needed which Ford said 0 issues.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-e Bev Bev verdict →
