Specific 2025 Hybrid Questions

[km8]

Are the 2025 Hybrids experiencing the deep sleep/battery saver issues of other models?

Are the 2025 Hybrids experiencing the “grabby” brakes that was supposedly fixed by a TSB on earlier models?

Also, any issues with the sealing of the windshield that was reported in earlier models? Causing noise/rattle?

Thanks in advance for any insight on any potential things going on with the 2025 Hybrids.

I cannot speak to the 2025s, but my 2024 has had only two issues:

The backup camera froze one time over 14k miles.

The oil filter was torqued in way to fucking tight from the factory. I thought I was going to have an aneurysm trying to remove it.

It's a survey of one, your milage may vary.

I've only had my car for a week and a hundred miles, so too soon to speak for rattles and such. However, I find the brake feel wonderful. Not grabby and needs a bit of pressure. I really like them, much better than my buddy's '23.

Probably too early for the deep sleep to occur for most all of us especially with the 50ah AGM.

My brakes are not grabby at all but are far from sensitive like they are in the EB. More like predictable fade for nearly every application. Nothing bad just an adjustment.

I don’t know what to tell you, even though I believe my Lariat is superior to the 23 Tremor I owned in build quality - your dash is going to rattle. I’ve already heard it once in only 500 miles and it’s only a matter of time until it happens consistently.

Thanks! I have a deposit down on one and just trying to gather a little more info about some of the past complaints.

Looking forward to more responses on here!

My 2025 Hybrid AWD has just under 2k miles on it, but 1,700 of those were put on within the first 48 hours. Sorry to those of you reading this that have heard me say that a million times in a million different posts. It is necessary context. Haha.

I have experienced no grabby brakes. In fact, they seem squishier than my 2022 and 2023 EcoBoost were. I think the regenerative braking factors into that.

No rattles. No windshield seal issues. No battery issues, other than FordPass getting messed up for a couple days. But that was not battery related.

the new battery is definitely a big improvement. if there's still an issue with parasitic drain MY25 hybrid owners will start feeling that within the next 3-6 months, I bet.

Has anyone been checking the voltage of the battery to see if its slowly going down between drives? I'm pretty sure a voltage drop was something occurring on the prior years hence leading to the batteries going bad.

I own a 2025 XLT. I have not witnessed any of these issues as of yet. I have about 500 km on the odometer.

I'm only 150 miles in since last week and I do own a 23 EB for comparison. I've noticed no grabbiness to the breaks and find they are less touchy than my ecoboost so far. I have not noticed any issues with the windshield in either vehicle. Both do have wind noise when driving at freeway speeds, but no vibration or rattles. I do find that the doors in my 25 Hybrid have more buzzing at medium radio volume on the B&O system. I think that was a common issue in all of them. I sound deadened my 23 doors, and they are much improved. I'm not as anxious to take these doors apart just yet.

I do have the Lariat with 360 view, and I must say, the camera quality and screen image seems much improved over my 23 Lariat.

1,600 miles on my 25 hybird AWD with none of your listed concerns. The only issue we've encountered on our 22 hybird xlt, in 75,000 miles,is the grabby brakes that were tamed some by a software update.

Wow thanks all. Love hearing all this feedback

I have not experienced any of the issues you mentioned on my 25 Lariat Hybrid AWD 4k tow package.
