2021 Ford MUSTANG MACH E - FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM and UNKNOWN OR OTHER Failure Complaint (#b0c63a)

2021 Ford MUSTANG MACH E

  • Date of Incident: Mar-13, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Apr-24, 2024
  • Failed components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM and UNKNOWN OR OTHER

This vehicle has 3 outstanding recalls: 21v711, 21v712, 23v687. The car was purchased new from orchid isle ford in may 2021. They are the only electric vehicle ford dealer on hawaii island (they operate another non-electric vehicle dealership on the island). On [xxx] i had the annual maintenance performed. I requested that recalls 21v711 & 21v712 be done as well. The dealership declined and stated they would call me when they could do those recalls. They have never called. I started calling the dealership every 3 months beginning in sept 2022. They have always refused to perform those recalls w/o explanation. In february 2024 i called to schedule the 36-month service and have all 3 recalls done. I was advised that the dealership could not do any of the recalls. I was called on feb 23 by a person identifying themselves as the owner's sister (mary) promising they'd make things right and asking for two weeks to arrange for the glass recalls to be done. I have had no contact since and have again been told by the service department that they can not and will not perform these recalls at any time regardless of where i bought the car. On [xxx], i emailed ford motor company's ceo james farley advising his office of the problem in getting three safety recalls performed on hawaii island. I have received no response from him, or any of the other emails sent to other officers of the ford motor company nor have i even received an acknowledgment of receipt. At this point, i can only presume that ford does not care if recalls are done. Recall 23v687 has the potential to strand me on rural roads where there is no cell service. The two glass recalls (21v711 & 21v712) can potentially cause death or serious injury in an accident. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6)
