This 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E Lemon Law case involved repeated repair concerns with an electric vehicle in Sacramento County. The vehicle developed problems with the door actuator and latch system, auto hold and parking brake operation, hill assist warnings, and transmission-related concerns.
The repair history showed that the vehicle was presented for warranty repairs involving the door latch system and related control module concerns. Door latch and door actuator problems can be especially frustrating because they affect the basic use, access, safety, and reliability of the vehicle.
The vehicle later returned for additional concerns. These included complaints that the parking brake or auto hold system could engage while driving or while stopped, that the door issue had continued or returned, and that a hill assist fault warning was present. For a Ford Mustang Mach-E, repeated electrical, braking, and driver-assistance system concerns can substantially impair the use, value, and safety of the vehicle.
This case was resolved by settlement.
Under California’s Lemon Law, a manufacturer may be required to repurchase or replace a vehicle when it cannot repair substantial warranty defects after a reasonable number of repair opportunities. Depending on the facts, consumers may be entitled to reimbursement for payments, down payment amounts, registration, rental vehicle expenses, towing expenses, and other damages. Attorney’s fees and costs are generally paid by the manufacturer when the consumer prevails.
If your Ford Mustang Mach-E or other electric vehicle has repeated repair problems, warning lights, door latch issues, braking concerns, or other defects that the dealership cannot fix, you may have rights under California’s Lemon Law.
