VIN # [XXX] have turned up is if I start my new 2023 mustang Mach-e at home without anyone in the rear seats. When I pick up children, it does not recognize. They are now in the rear seats i.e. seatbelt warnings. Our children picked up from daycare left in a hot car, so what I’m saying in a nutshell is once I leave the residence with only me in the vehicle, and I add additional passengers the seat monitors do not detect anyone being in the rear seat until the seatbelt is fastened, if the seatbelt is not fastened, it has no clue in the rear of the car which is annoying because it constantly asked me to check the backseat, but it only does this if someone has been in the car when it was started originally before it left its origin destination This is a huge issue and should be reported to the NTSB INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-e Bev Bev verdict →
