Get a new one. It is probably a loose connection or chafed wire and when it is fixed it will be fine but getting it fixed is going to take more resources than any shop is going to want to put into it. I think that the Mach-E had over a mile of wires that it didn’t need, think of how many miles of wires that are in there that you do need.

Two different and unrelated faults sounds like a wiring harness or ground issue. These are a bear to resolve because they are intermittent . You don’t need this. Get a different truck.

I use to work at a Chevrolet Dealership for 22 years. I've seen brand new vehicles with weird issues that are either hard to resolve or they never get resolved. Like I've been telling you from the start, run away as fast as you can!

Ryun, is there any procedure to get the vehicle in neutral so they can get it on the flatbed when the shifter doesn’t work? I think the driver gave my wife a separate key. Assuming that need to be inserted somewhere to manually get it in neutral.
I think the second key is for the glove box and the armrest

Update for 11/29....Servicing dealer has advised that the SOBDM is going to be replaced and the part will arrive on Saturday and be installed on Monday. The check out the truck to see if that solves the problem or anything else then pops up.

I understand they go through the Frunk to replace the module. Anything else that I should be concerned ablout with this type of repair?

Why are you even entertaining owning this truck? I don't get it.

Another update!1

Getting close to throwing in the towel! So the vehicle started this AM and they took it out for a ride. Immediately started throwing errors so back into the shop. I am being told that the main culprit is code BECM-P0AA6- High Isolation Fault on High Voltage Side. They said they tested the HVB and it tested good. The hunt for the cause of the error will continue tomorrow. I know it could possibly be a connector or something. Question is could that cause anything else to go prematurely in the future.
If you’re concerned, ask them to comp you a free or deeply discounted Ford Premium Care extended warranty.
