Should You Buy the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E?

Reliability is good for this model year, and it sits close to the average for 2025 SUVs. Among the four scored Mustang Mach-E years, it falls in the middle. The 2024 and 2026 versions rate about the same. Owners filed 8 complaints, and the SUV earns 5 of 5 stars in federal crash testing.

Two problems matter most. The instrument display can go blank while driving, hiding speed, gear, and battery level, and dealers have struggled to find a cause. More serious, some cars lose propulsion suddenly in traffic, show a red "Stop Safely Now" warning, and lock in Park. Others will not shift into Park or Drive, and the electronic parking brake engages on its own. One report came in under 900 miles. Federal recall records list 5 recalls, including two for the power train. Owners describe cars held at the dealer for weeks while waiting on parts.

Before buying, ask for proof that every power train recall was completed, including the software update and the park rod work. Check that the instrument display works through a full test drive.

Compared to the 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E, which scored 2 points higher. See also the 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E for an earlier comparison.

Consequence

A loss of exterior lighting can reduce the driver's visibility and the visibility of the vehicle to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."

Consequence

A loss of park function can allow the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash.

25V5190002025-08-08

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2025 Lincoln Nautilus, Mustang Mach E, and Mustang vehicles. The LED Driver Modules may contain a burnt diode, which can cause the low-beam and high-beam headlights, daytime running lights, front position lights, and front turn signals to fail in the affected headlight. On Nautilus vehicles only, this condition may also cause the rear tail light, rear turn signal, and rear position light to fail. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Consequence

Exterior lighting failure can reduce visibility for the driver and other road users, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the LED Driver Modules, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 22, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C39.

Shift between Park, Reverse, and Drive several times during the test drive and watch for shift system fault messages.
Drive in stop-and-go traffic and watch for a red Stop Safely Now warning or sudden loss of power.
Check that the electronic parking brake does not engage on its own while the car is in gear.
Keep the instrument display in view for the whole drive and note any blackout of speed, gear, or battery level.

2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E Common Problems by Component

8 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (3)POWER TRAIN (3)WHEELS (1)VISIBILITY/WIPER (1)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

3 complaints

The instrument display can go completely blank while driving, hiding speed, gear, and battery level. Restarting the car and resetting the screen may not bring it back, and dealers have struggled to reproduce the fault or find a cause. Most of the 3 complaints are about recalls, not new failures. They cite a software update for the powertrain control module and secondary on-board diagnostic module, plus a park rod replacement. Buyers describe waiting weeks for parts that have no delivery date, so some new cars sit at the dealer before handover.

3 complaints total

POWER TRAIN

3 complaints

The car can lose propulsion suddenly in traffic. A red "Stop Safely Now" warning appears with powertrain and brake alerts, and the car locks in Park with no prior warning. Other reports describe a shift system fault where the car will not go into Park or Drive and the electronic parking brake engages on its own, stranding the driver in the road. One report came in under 900 miles. Both failures carry a real crash risk in moving traffic. Several complaints are about dealers holding cars for weeks while waiting on park rod recall parts.

2025-11-24

I noticed that I kept receiving a low tire pressure warning on my car. I would have it filled and then a few days later, the warning appeared again. I took the car in to the dealership to let them know there is an issue with my tire on 11/24/2025. The dealership then stated that I had to pay for a replacement tire. I asked if there was any type of warranty on the tire as I have only had the vehicle for a few months. They stated I had to purchase a new tire. I do not feel that I should pay for a defected tire. I have not driven the vehicle due to safety and want help in resolving this issue as the defect should be covered.
