Just my luck, I’m on a road trip (in Austin, Texas) and stopped to do a fast charge. The charger did not start charging and when I got back in the car to try and switch to another charging station the car wouldn’t start and displayed “stop safely now”. I am now stranded and the car won’t start. This is extremely frustrating as I only bought the car a month ago, a used ‘21 Premium AWD ER. Any advice on what to do now and any idea of what may have cause this under these circumstances? All the dealerships here are closed on Sundays 😭

Update

I followed the advice on the following forum and waited about 30 minutes and thankfully it started back up. It now has the “Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power” warning though and I don’t feel comfortable trying another fast charger because obviously that triggered it.

Thankfully I have some family in Austin that is going to let me spend the night and hopefully I can charge it enough on a Level 1 wall charger to get me back home to Houston tomorrow evening and take it to the dealership once I’m home.

If you need to get it fixed in Austin, Riata Ford in northern Austin did this repair for me incredibly fast a few weeks ago!
