Having completed the high voltage junction box recall with the mach-e a week or so before, i was braking in order to complete a left-turn in one-pedal drive mode (therefore lifting my foot off the accelerator causing the vehicle to slow down). I received a notification as i did so that one pedal drive mode had a fault and was deactivated (this appeared on the screen by the steering wheel). This caused the car to lurch forwards, as it shifted from opd to standard drive mode. Fortunately no cars were ahead of me and i was able to quickly slow the vehicle by braking, but i'm alarmed as to what would have happened had this been in traffic.
