This year drew an ordinary 128 complaints for a Ford Mustang Mach-E — the model's median is 42. What they were about is the unusual part: 7% of them mention date, against 1.5% across the model's other years.

What the complaints were about
- date — 7% of this year's complaints, against 1.5% across the model's other years (4.8×).
- between — 7.8% of this year's complaints, against 2.6% across the model's other years (3×). Owners wrote it as: between, engage.
- itself — 7% of this year's complaints, against 2.4% across the model's other years (3×). Owners wrote it as: itself, control car.
Words owners used for the same problem are counted together, so a fault written four different ways is measured once. Grouped by which complaints they appear in, not by a list anyone wrote in advance.
What owners wrote
2 times we have had an incident in which the vehicle at a slow speed when parking or switching between drive gear and reverse gear. The vehicle suddenly accelerates forward and the driver has to engage the brakes manually very firmly to prevent an accident.
Vehicle adaptive cruise control was set at 35mph in a 35mph speed zone as I approached a stop light I tapped the breaks which should have disengaged the cruise control but instead the vehicle speed accelerated. Warning light stated cruise control was disengage…

How this was worked out
Every year of the Ford Mustang Mach-E was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
