Ford Mustang Mach-E electrical problems, 2021–2026

321 of the 665 complaints owners filed with NHTSA about the Ford Mustang Mach-E 2021–2026 name the electrical system (NHTSA’s “Electrical System” heading — wiring, modules, batteries, charging, infotainment and driver displays — NHTSA's broadest heading). The loudest years: 2021 (155), 2022 (79), 2023 (52). Filed under the same heading across these years: 8 manufacturer bulletins, 5 recall campaigns, 3 NHTSA investigations. Every figure is a linked federal record; none is a failure rate, none a repair cost, and none a verdict on one car.

Two things the counts carry that are not the car: how many of each year were sold, and how long each has been on the road — an older year out-counts a newer one before anything is wrong with it. The share column is the honest comparison across years: what part of that year’s complaints named the electrical system. Nothing here is a rate.

In owners’ own words

Source: NHTSA complaint database

Filed with NHTSA by the people who own these cars, about the electrical system, from the model years with the most to say. Quoted as written, with anything identifying removed; unverified reports — what was said, not a finding that it was true.

The High Volt Battery (HVB) would have a fault in charging sporadically. When this happens, the vehicle can't start. All the alerts for safety features come on and says that it's in accessory mode only. It's no longer in my possession for inspection. It was approved for lemon law buy back and is now owned by Ford Motor Company.
Electrical System Apr 18, 2022 NHTSA owner report
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.
Electrical System Apr 14, 2022 NHTSA owner report
After charging for the first time at a DC fast charge station to 80%, I resumed my trip and drove about 3 miles to merge onto the expressway, my screen panel said "safely stop now", with a turtle logo and battery icon coming on. my car then came to a complete stop within a few seconds in the middle of the on-ramp leaving me stranded.
Electrical System Jun 6, 2023 NHTSA owner report
Car went into deep sleep mode after 12 volt battery malfunctioned. Car was completely disabled although it was fully charged. Ford dealership I took to had no knowledge of this ever happening, had no knowledge of vehicle having a 12 v battery, and claimed to of baver heard of any vehicle going into deep sleep mode
Electrical System May 13, 2023 NHTSA owner report
I have attached a letter to this email that ford recently sent me for my 2023 and 2022 mustang mach e. The one attached here is for the 2023 one. Supposedly software is supposed to fix a burning or melting of the charge port pins. I am not sure one of my cars looks like it may be arched but this letter from ford is ridiculous.
