The Ford Mach-E, an electric version of the company’s Mustang vehicle, was first introduced in 2021. Reportedly, some of these earlier models of the Mach-E face a potentially severe issue with the vehicle’s 12-volt battery. Drivers who charge their vehicle overnight may wake up to find that the vehicle is in “Deep Sleep Mode.” Many enthusiasts might take this to mean that your Electric Vehicle, or EV, is bricked – a colloquial term meaning that your car is potentially completely dead or will not power on.

This is seemingly a problem across EVs, like the Ford Mach-E. 12-Volt batteries in EVs often rely on the high voltage propulsion battery to recharge itself when needed but if your vehicle is recharging, the computer within your vehicle may prevent that from happening. This may cause the 12-volt battery to die if it goes too long without charging itself. Because the 12-volt battery is secured behind an electric latch, you might just be out of luck if your vehicle has no power.

Consumers should not have to worry about losing access to their car because they decided to leave their vehicle charging. This potential issue with the Ford Mach-E may put many consumers at risk of their vehicles becoming inoperable. At this time, Ford has neglected to issue a recall on the vehicles.
