2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT

"Torn between the GT 25 and Toyota BZ limited As the title says, I am looking to purchase either a Toyota BZ limited 2026 or a Ford mustang Mach E GT 2025. Price of the mach E ends up being a little high than a tricked out limited bz. I was able to test drive a BZ awd yesterday and I must say it is very nice and a good iteration on the bz4x. I am strongly considering the BZ since it is a Toyota and potentially more reliable. The Mach E of course is much sportier and drives more fun. It was what I have been wanting to get this whole time but feel I have to do the due diligence and look at all the other brands. The BZ is the only other EV I would get. The lexus looks nice but I would rather have toyota. Cant decide what to go with since the BZ seems like a solid, safe choice. The Mach e is a solid, fun choice. From scouring this sub and the bz one, ford seems to have some better tech. The bz is a very comfortable and soft ride. The mach e is a much less cushy drive but handles super well. The GT model has adjustable suspension and drives a bit more comfortable, maybe slightly less than the bz in whisper mode and is a sports car feel in the other two modes. I feel like like I will love both cars and would be happy with either. The bz seems like it would have less random issues such as having normal door handles. Sorry for the rambling. Tough decisions. What would you go with, money not being an issue since it is a gift? I am also wondering if anyone knows better about the warranties on a 2025 gt, especially the battery warranty for 8 years and 100k miles. Does that only cover it if it dies completely or also if it degrades? Edit** I have decided to go with the Mach e GT. Making final decisions on which in inventory to go with but im liking green, especially if it has the bronze wheels. Any tips or suggestions for a new owner and someone in the purchasing product appreciated"

"Considering a used Mach e in the 25k or less price I currently drive a subaru Crosstrek and my lease is coming up in December this year. I would love to get my first EV. I was initially considering another lease to a subaru uncharted (which hasn’t released yet) but looking at the used market, seems there are some good deals to be had for a used mach e. I’m in California so there is supposed to be a California version of the EV tax credit or rebate that replaces the federal one that Trump got rid of. But no word yet on when that will be available There’s also this 4000 rebate from Southern California Edison I can qualify for. I’m just curious what do people think about buying a used mach e? Any potential pitfalls to consider or is this a good value buy for a car that was going for 60k new a few years ago? I feel like getting a Mach e 2021-2023 model premium trim at 25k would be a good value and a more luxurious experience than an Ioniq 5 or the new subaru uncharted but I’m just doing educated guessing The other car to consider is an Ioniq 5 used as well. I’m leaning towards the premium trim because I read it has the glass roof and improved sound system. Would you recommend premium over select given the relatively small price difference ? Also I do have a garage I can charge the car in. I was concerned about NACS but it doesn’t seem to be an issue for home charging. Here are 3 I found 1) - 2021 premium 25k, 33k miles, white 2) - 2021 premium 25,991, 15k miles, red 3) - 2021 select 20,999 - 40k miles Gemini AI warned me about potential kinks - is this all accurate ? \*\*The Two Big Kinks (And How They Stand Now)\*\* 1. The HVBJB (High Voltage Battery Junction Box) • The Issue: This was the "big one." On the 2021 and early 2022 models, the contactors could overheat and fail, leaving the car immobile (the dreaded "Stop Safely Now" message). • The 2026 Reality: Ford has issued multiple recalls for this. By now, most used units have had the physical hardware replacement (not just the software patch). • Your Strategy: If you find a 2022 you love, ask the dealer for the service history. Specifically, ask: "Has the recall 23S56 been performed?" If that hardware was replaced, the car essentially has the same "guts" as a 2023. 2. The 12V Battery "Deep Sleep" • The Issue: Early models were notorious for the 12-volt battery (the one that runs the lights and locks) dying unexpectedly, which could actually lock you out of the car. • The 2026 Reality: A massive software recall was issued in late 2025 to fix the charging logic for this battery. Most cars on dealer lots now have this "fix" baked in. • Your Strategy: Verify the car is on the latest Power-Up software version. This update allows the big battery to "top off" the small battery more efficiently while the car is parked in your garage."

"Such a sad day So I’d like to present my very first photos with my 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Select AWD. I want to say that I only had the vehicle for maybe 3 months. Here’s what happened: I got a call from the Ford dealership (local) that they found a Mach-E for me around the price I was looking to pay. The only thing was that they wanted to make sure I was ready to put a down payment on it immediately because they had to purchase it from another dealership. Once I gave my okay, the same day they purchased the vehicle was the same day I put in my down payment and signed the paperwork and drove off with the vehicle. I wish I knew then what I only know just more recently, which was that the vehicle itself was a lemon. I wish on that day I had immediately asked for the CarFax and had made sure everything was good. The first week I had it, I didn’t really notice anything wrong with it. I was loving it and driving around as much as I could. Then about a month in I started to notice some electrical issues and connection issues with my devices. I took it to the dealership and they had it for a moment but they ultimately just updated it and said it should be good. The other thing was that it was suppose to have the Ford Blue Cruise on it as it’s what they told me was added to it. The fact is, it didn’t, and when they tried to manually put in the software (because the vehicle already had the hardware for it), it just wasn’t sticking. A few weeks later, I go to put something in the back of the car and I notice an earthy smell. I lift up the platform in the back and discover MOLD growing. To make matters worse, I got an email with the CarFax. When I opened it, let me tell you how absolutely shocked I was to find out that the vehicle had actually been in a major front end collision before where ALL airbags deployed. I take this information and everything to the dealership who end up actually shocked and inform me that the dealer they bought it from never disclosed any of this information. Now I did do my part in contacting multiple lawyers, however, the cheapest one I found wanted a $5k retainer (which I didn’t have). I decided to just work with the dealership as they are(were) a reputable dealership. They end up taking the vehicle in promising to fix everything that’s either broken or needs to be repaired. Three weeks later, they inform me that they just want to buy back the vehicle the exact price I paid for it and give me my down payment back because they found out that because of the prior accident it had, it was never properly fixed and so any time it rained or if I took it to a car wash, it was getting inside the inside of the car (behind panels) and because of that noticed about $10k worth of damage including corroded electrical (explains the electrical issues). I ended up taking them up on their offer and they paid off my vehicle loan plus interest and gave me back my down payment (well, most of it). I’m so sad y’all,"

"5 weeks in the shop (No diagnoisis) *Update now 11 weeks* Update 02/11/2025 In 2 days this will be 11 weeks in the shop. It has been over 3 weeks with no response from Ford engineering. The local tech has reached out to the field service engineer (FSE) Sergio 8 times in the last 3 weeks and the handful of responses were that they still have not heard back from engineering. About 3 weeks ago the tech recieved a "break out box" that is supposed to allow them to monitor all car systems and simotaniously detach one module at a time. This process proved inconclusive and there is still no diagnoises on what the problem is. I did ask for a printout of the work order from the dealership for my records. This did remind me that my car is in for 2 items that I indicated and 1 that the dealership found. CS : "Electrical system drain - service required" displayed CS : "Eye-Tracking/bluecruise not working" and the fun surprise 3. Coolant low in both resvoirs. At this point nothing has been diagnoised and zero progress has been made. I requested, with Dorene from Ford, to resubmit another buyback request on my behalf and to indicate that I'm looking for a buyback because it is under warranty and it can not be fixed. I doubt this will go anywhere but I'm grasping at straws at this point. Also spoke with the local Service Manager. He thinks it is a software issue and that Ford doesn't know how to fix it. I told him about the buyback request getting denied and then submitting another. He requested Dorene's e-mail and he is going to reach out to his regional ford contact, "who is many levels above the woman you spoke to" and see if he can help push for a buyback as well. I spoke with a lemon law attorney as well and they indicated that I do have a case and they could move forward but their firm would only be going after financial compensation and expectations were 3-5k. If I was looking for a buyback or starting a lawsuit to get more from Ford they could refer me to another firm that could help me with that. They did let me know that with everything they've been working on lately Ford is fighting extremely hard to not buy back any electric vehicles or Broncos. They told me that they really dug their heels in within the last 3-6 months and it seems like a high level policy decision within Ford. I'd be happy with any suggestions on how to move forward at this point. Ford is incompetent and dragging their heels in regards to my vehicle and I feel like it's leaving me no options. **End Update** UPDATE 01/09/2025. 6 weeks in the shop today. No progress has been made since my original post. Our vehicle is a 2022' Ford Mustang Mach E GT Performance Edition that was purchased used in April of 2024 with ~4k miles from a dealership in Ohio and we had it shipped to Florida. The vehicle currently only has ~10k miles on it. I got a call back from Dorene at Ford (corporate) and my buyback was denied for being out of lemon law guideines for the state of Ohio, w"

"Signed Lease for Ford Mustang Mach-E but No Delivery Due to Recall – Paying for a Car I Don’t Have. Hey everyone, hoping for some advice. I signed a lease for a **2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E** on **June 20, 2025** through a dealership in Washington. The car was under an **active recall** at the time (which I found out after signing), and I was told verbally it would be delivered by June 27. As of today (June 24), **I still don’t have the car**. The problem: * My **lease payments have already started** (first payment processed as part of signing day payment - I have given zero downpayment though, only registration charges and first month lease included) * The lease is held by **Ford Motor Credit.** * I’m now **paying around $500/month** for a car I don’t even have yet * I’m also spending **money on a rental car weekly** just to get around The dealer says they’re waiting on Ford due to the recall, but that’s not helping me financially. I’m not sure if I should just wait until June 27, but this is starting to feel really unfair. I’m effectively paying for a vehicles and not using it. **What I’ve done so far:** * Spoke to the dealer (only got a vague "should be resolved by June 27") Has anyone been in a similar situation where: 1. The car wasn’t delivered after lease signing? 2. You were charged before you physically received the vehicle? 3. You successfully got a refund, lease adjustment, or some kind of reimbursement? Would appreciate any tips on what to say to Ford Credit or how to escalate this. Thanks in advance — I’m burning cash daily on a rental and feeling stuck. Edit : the reason for me getting worried about this is that there are news reporting about fix coming as late as Q3 end."

"I wonder if this will help with the 1-2 min SiriusXM "Updating" that often happens when I start the car. It prevents me from changing the station or seeing song information until it clears. Never had this issue on any other SiriusXM equipped vehicle, going back to 2005 #### JustSomeQuickGuy JoinedSep 22, 2022Threads1Messages69Reaction score191LocationIllinoisVehicles I also got this on my 2023, I hope it does improve the performance. I'll find out today. The whole Ford Sync system is terrible performance wise (worst part about the car, frankly) but XM Radio had been getting worse.
