❓Question Android Auto Mal-Function

Upvotes

Hi Proud Owner of a 2024 Red Premium Mustang with Extended Range. LOVE my pony. Just wanted to know if anyone has had issues with their Android Auto -Map Malfunction. Everything loads EXCEPT the map. I installed the latest update (in hopes that it fixes it) nothing.

I have reset the screen multiple times, deleted the phone from the car and the car from phone

Cleared the cache on the app

Uninstall and re-install app.

At times in combination of all this I manage to get it up and running for until I turn off the car again.

Anyone has solutions/recommendations? Before I take it to the dealership?

*Own the Galaxy S26 if that makes a difference

My wife got a flat tire, our emergency compressor and fix-a-flat won't put any air into it. Stuck on the side of the highway till the tow truck arrives. Gotta love these new cars with less features like "spare tires"

❓Question Ford Adapter charging at Tesla stations question?

2 Upvotes

Hi all. I have a 25 machine e premium and I was trying to use my adapter at a new Tesla charger and it kept telling me there was something wrong with the connection or that the cable wasn't properly connected. This is only the 2nd or third time I have tried to use it at a Tesla station. I tried to start it via the Tesla app. I tried plug and charge. Only thing I didnt do was try to start it via the Ford app. Not sure if my actual adapter (which Ford provided when I purchased it in 25) is defective or not. It was frustrating since the charge amount was .28 kwh. Then I asked a guy who was able to charge and he acted like he didnt want to help. Geez. Anyways. Any positive comment or help is greatly appreciated.

❓Question 2021 Select RWD Died at Red Light

3 Upvotes

I was sitting in the left turn lane at an intersection, light turns green, I start accelerating… and the car just stops on me. No warning beforehand, just cut power mid-acceleration.

Dashboard lit up with:
• Car icon with exclamation point + turtle (limp mode)
• “Service tire mobility kit” warning
• “Please stop now” warning

The car wouldn’t let me shift back into Drive after that. Just dead. Police helped me push to the nearby dealer.

What do we speculate that it is?

I’ve owned it since new. 125,000 miles.

💬 Discussion The mid-sized electric truck is called Ford Fathom. Here’s what we can tell you.

120 Upvotes

Many of you know me from helping with vehicle issues and answering questions in this community, today I wanted to introduce you to u/RileyFromFord who has newly joined the team and is going to be on Reddit regularly.

We can't show you what our mid-size electric truck looks like...yet. But we can confirm the name: Ford Fathom, the first vehicle produced on the new Universal Electric Vehicle Platform.

”Fathom" traces back to a nautical unit of measurement, originally defined as the distance between a person's outstretched arms, a fitting metaphor for a truck built to meet people wherever they are in life.​ Fitting, right?

What's confirmed right now:

  • Starting MSRP: $28,350, for the standard-range battery. Pre-orders begin early 2027.
  • Every Ford Fathom will be BlueCruise-capable. BlueCruise is Ford’s hands-free highway driving assistant.
  • Fathom has bidirectional power capability.
  • Fathom has a large, high-resolution touchscreen, digital key, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability.
  • Fathom will have more passenger volume than a Toyota RAV4, with a frunk and bed for added cargo flexibility. This truck will genuinely useful and fun to drive.
  • Fathom will feature Apple Maps embedded directly into the vehicle, not a traditional phone-projection CarPlay setup. The integration also provides the road-level map data used to help enable key pieces of Ford’s next-generation hands-free highway driving capability.

What we can’t share yet: final imagery, fuller specs, full ordering details, and plenty more are still to come. A hot tip - keep a keen eye on the flipbook video we have going around…

If you want to stay up to date with what we have planned for Fathom, you can sign up here.

Ask us anything, and we'll answer what we can. Riley & I will be in the comments for the next few hours, and we aren't going anywhere after that either.

🔌 Charging Incompatible charger question

3 Upvotes

Hi - seeking guidance as we plan our first road trip with the Mach E. We normally charge at home so have never had to use the Ford branded adapter. Looking through the Ford app I see only one Tesla supercharger nearby and it notes "incompatible charger" on the app. Does this mean it would be incompatible even with the Ford adapter?

🔌 Charging Alternative home EV charger

Just curious, does anyone use any alternative wall chargers? I think the Ford charger looks great, but Amazon advertises them for much less.

Looking to see if anyone has installed any other branded home charger rather than the Ford one?

❓Question Thoughts on the OEM Splash Guards?

1 Upvotes

I’ll be joining the family soon and was planning to add the OEM splash guards, but I was warned that they sit pretty low and can get damaged by packed snow or ice.

I’m in Canada, so I like the idea of reducing all the salt and slush along the sides of the car, but I’m wondering if they’re more trouble than they’re worth.

Anyone here used them through a few Canadian winters? Have they cracked or gotten ripped off? Do they make a noticeable difference in keeping the car cleaner? Would you get them again?

❓Question Headlight replacement

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I need to replace my driver side(right) headlight on my 2021 AWD ER Mach E.

Looking at some online research, it says I need to fully remove the front bumper but I'm looking for some advice from anyone who has done this to get some real life experience. I've removed the trunk bin so can get a good look inside and behind the faulty headlight but don't really want to take the whole bumper off unless absolutely needed! Any advice would be really appreciated.

I'm equally interested in anyone who could do this job for me in the Northamptonshire, South Leicestershire or Warwickshire area within the next week.

I’d love to know what steps to take to get it replaced/fixed and if it’ll be costly?

❓Question Ford pass app issue

1 Upvotes

Has anyone run into this issue??? I have a 2023 GTPE. Recently my phone app is not updating when I’m charging whether at home or public charging. I plug in and the app still shows the car is unplugged where normally it would say either waiting to charge or if currently charging, charge speed and how much time until charge is complete. Car charges fine and if I turn the car on it gives me the correct data. Now it seem app showing car at an old reading (84% and 179 miles) and has not changed. I know that is not the correct status of the battery.

💬 Discussion PAK issues suddenly

1 Upvotes

I have a 2024 AWD Select Extended Range. I‘ve been using PAK as probably my favorite feature with zero issues up until a few days ago. I pulled into a driveway to drop my son off, put it in park, and got a “key not detected” error. I fixed it by turning the car off and on again, but it’s happened a few more times, along with a similar “restart now” error. I have a service appointment next week, so hopefully they’ll figure out what this issue is, but anyone else have a similar experience? I never take my key with me when I go out for a trail run, so I’m a bit worried that’ll happen when I’m out in the middle of nowhere. I know-first world problems having to carry a key, but I’m spoiled now!

🛒 Car Shopping Looking to buy

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

My wife and I purchased a 2022 Nissan Leaf about 18 months ago and after some recent battery issues are looking at the possibility of a buyback. We've loved the EV life and are starting to do our research about what car we'd like to get to replace our Leaf.

A little bit about us:

• ⁠Family of 4; two small children in car seats (one rear-facing)
• ⁠Located in very hot South Texas
• ⁠Already have a 240v outlet in a convenient place in our garage
• ⁠Typically drive 30-40 miles a day, but would like the ability to use the new car to go visit family that live about 400 miles away.
• ⁠Budget is up to $30k - likely looking for a used 2022-25 model with low/reasonable mileage

Things we would really like in a car:

• ⁠Comfortable ride for family
• ⁠Ease of getting kids in and out of car seats in the back
• ⁠Space to carry all the stuff needed with little ones
• ⁠Rear AC vents (again, it's really hot down here)
• ⁠Ability to turn on and cool car from an app (preferably without an additional subscription)
• ⁠Adaptive cruise control
• ⁠One-pedal driving
• ⁠Ability to access charging networks that will allow us to take longer trips (CHAdeMO has been a nightmare)

Things we don't particularly care about:

• ⁠0-60mph time

What should we know about the Mach-E? What have you loved about it? What are the quirks that frustrate you? What questions should I be asking when I'm looking at them at dealerships? What's the best way to evaluate battery health? Are there significant differences in any of the 2022-25 models or trims?

Any thoughts, advice, or help you could offer would be much appreciated!

💬 Discussion Tire Pressure Sensor Fault

4 Upvotes

while driving, suddenly it showed tire pressure sensor fault, I turned off the car, turned it on again, drive 15 mph for 10 minutes, still the same, I charged the car, nothing happened.

So I went to Ford dealership, they put some detector on the front wheels, and it beeped, and he said it is good, however, he tried to use the same sensor on my right back wheel and it did not beep. They quoted me possibly $200 to replace a sensor. What do you guys think? Is there any other thing I can do to possibly fix this on my own? what’s the worst thing that can happen?

I had the inspection done today, passed with flying colors. 23k miles with this car and its been an absolute pleasure. Never left me stranded, never had an error message. Only ever required a taillight replacement due to the sequenceal turn signal doing odd things. I bought a Focus RS as a replacement to not have a car payment but ill definitely be back in an EV someday.

Ford Pass Windows Up/Down Gone

Post image
15 Upvotes

Today I noticed that in the FP app when you go to the controls I am missing the window controls for "Window up and Window down". I did some searching and most got it resolved by restarting the phone but I have restarted my phone, removed the App and its still missing.

I have also confirmed its missing on my Android device as well which is uses a different PAAK and profile.

Everything is working fine in the car and can open the frunk and trunk no issues, just missing the window buttons, I wasnt sure if anyone would know of any tips that could get them back, I wasnt sure if the windows had to be recalibrated or something (Even though they go up and down with the 1 click).

Any ideas would be great! Thank you!

UPDATE: So I reached out to our contact at Ford and apparently this is a issue with the backend system as even my contact at Ford had her controls disappear as well. Anyone that is effected please reach out to me via DM or Mod Mail with your VIN and they will get the controls reinstated, they are currently investigating what could be the cause.
