While driving on a mountain pass, my 2021 Mustang Mach-E vehicle lost all regenerative braking which, due to the downhill grade, caused a sudden and shocking increase in speed, played warning chimes, and displayed "Stop Safely Now" and "1-Pedal Drive Fault Press Brake Pedal To Reduce Speed" and lost all drive power, forcing me to coast to a stop on the side of the mountain, in an area without cellular coverage to call for help. The vehicle did not restart and would not shift out of Park in 5 attempts to restart. After 10 minutes on the side of …

Owner report 11460737 · 2022-04-14 (April 14, 2022)

Drove my fully charged Mustang Mach E(MME) from TN to my daughter's school and to a local dealership to have some aftermarket wheels/tires installed (20 miles in total). Upon parking the vehicle in their service lane, I turned the vehicle off and handed them the keys. They get in the vehicle and try to turn it on and tell me "the vehicle won't turn on".

Vehicle would not start after a brief stop, with a "Stop Safely Now" error. Vehicle could not be shifted out of Park, and could only be shifted into Neutral using the Emergency Tow Mode. Vehicle was towed to nearest Ford dealer, and the High-Voltage Battery Junction Box (HVBJB) failed and required replacement. This is a known issue that has affected many similar vehicles of the same make, model, and year.

Owner report 11464559 · 2022-05-13 (May 13, 2022)

I received a “Stop Safely Now” message upon returning to my vehicle at the end of a work day. The vehicle would not shift into drive, but accessory power did work. It was late at night and in a hospital parking structure, I was forced to leave the vehicle there overnight. After some unsuccessful troubleshooting the next day, I had to call a tow truck and have the vehicle brought to a dealer for repair. It was diagnosed with a faulty BECM (Battery Energy Control Module). After repair, I have not yet seen a repeat occurred the issue.
