May of this year I was driving our '21 CA Rte 1 back from western North Carolina on a Sunday, when in South Carolina I received the 'Powertrain Malfunction service vehicle soon' message followed by a yellow wrench on the drivers display. The Mach E seemed okay, and being that Ford dealerships...
I read lots of information on EVs by the various manufacturers and reviewers, but little is mentioned about the quality of the components that make up the electrics, the suspension, the body, interior, etc. As we know from a multitude of reviews, some manufacturers of traditional gasoline...

To report back, they rotated the tires, did a vehicle inspection, reported back on video, and...

When I got home, I busted out...
Hey everyone,
So I'm thinking I'm one of the first to get the A1 code. (I thought I saw a thread before but can't find it now.)
Last week my Clarity started warning me I had an upcoming service. Code A1. I checked what A1 means (because it would be too easy if Honda just put the actual message...
