Dealer dropped my Mach-E GT off lift, bought a Bronco

[fallguy]

Long story short, had the dreaded battery fault while driving the Mach-E. Towed to dealer, day later it was dropped off the lift. This is about 6 weeks ago.

Ford put a stop sale on all new Mach-E's. They are very hard to find, harder than Bronco's. I LOOOOVED my GT. Put 10.5's on the back, new rims and tires. It was fast AF. Huge screen, frunk. Really liked it. Unfortunately it was dropped off the lift.

Dealership or I could find a GT anywhere near us. Couldn't buy a new one. So started looking at Bronco's.

Wanted a Wildtrak with Sasquatch, impossible to find. After a few weeks, dealer found an Outer banks with Sasquatch. Got it for MSRP, you know since they dropped my car.

I wanted a 2 door Sasquatch. Has the lockers, V6 and switches. Leather seats, but not the 12" screen or 360 camera.

Few pics of Candy Gurl in all her glory, and now Blue Crush. Added rear spoiler and mud flaps since pics.

Happy about my Bronco, still sad about my Mach-E GT. The recall his a huge issue though.

Man, that sucks. Glad you were able to at least work something out. Don't see any pictures of the Bronco though.

Sorry, didn't mean to hit post. Trying to add pics, hit wrong button. Up now.

They should have bought the Mach E GT off you to pay for the Bronco! Their screw up cost you a whole vehicle, they shouldnt have made a dime. Infact they should have owed you money. Those Mach Es aint cheap either.

Wow, crazy story. Glad you found a Bronco you’re happy with! What an attractive family, too!

Ford corporation rep, said she submitted the claim to buy back. It was denied. I made money on the Mach-E, Bronco payment is $130 less. I never got a lawyer, dealershio was pretty good to me. Gave me a brand new 2022 F-150 to drive while trying to fix it.

Unfortunately, the recall is a serious issue and they're trying to fix it with an OTA update. It's not been very successful.

As of yesterday, Ford claims they have a software fix, but you have to bring it in for programming.

The more I hear about these EV's problems, the more respect I have for Elon and Tesla.

How the heck did you get leather without power seats? I was under the impression it’s all or none. It the one reason you can’t get wash out floors with leather . Bummer about the Mach E I think you went from one extreme to then Other fuel economy wise.

Wow, that stinks. A least you got in a Bronco.

I like those Woodies you are sporting, what brand are they?
I still remember the Ray-Ban Woodies from the 80s.

How in the world does one drop a car off a lift?

Depending on the lift they’re using, the Mach-E can be very tricky to lift correctly in order to remove the battery. There’s very little room for certain lift arms. Just by looking at these pictures I can tell it was lifted completely wrong. Those rubber pads on the lift arms should definitely not be used.

2-door. All two doors are manual seats.

It’s so people can get into the rear seats. Imagine having to waiting for a power seat to move forward. They take too long
