Sell the Mav and go buy a Taco. I hear Toyota isn't having any issues right now.
It may just get sold the body repairs are getting old something a new truck shouldn’t have problems with

3 years in and I still love my Maverick. As for the recalls, why do people make such a big deal about them? For the most part, they are MINOR and fixable via simple software updates.

What's the difference between Maverick recalls fixed via software patches the endless Windows 10 software patches? Or the constant patches for smartphones? That's today's technology. Now obviously issues in a motor vehicle that leaves one stranded can be far more serious issues. But software updates to fix intermittent minor issues IMO no big deal at all.

I had 4 of the Maverick recalls performed in my Driveway, no inconvenience at all.
Agree 100%, updates are a part of all our technology. For me, I've had all the recall fixes & 2 oil changes done at work, really convenient.

It's funny that you think other brands don't have the same issues. You must not be on any other forums.

Nice job, Ford. ANOTHER 5 recalls to throw on the pile of another dozen. It is no wonder that I and probably most others will not even bother having these addressed anytime soon, until some time in the future when the influx slows down. Why bother? Mr. Farley: so much for your quality control czar that you hired. Getting worse, not better. Shame shame shame. I was such a fan with the many Fords I have owned. You must now EARN any future business from me. The customer is NOT the beta test.
Am I the only one out here that feels completely failed by Ford?
You're stretching the truth (those weren't released today) so that people feel your immense pain. You've reached the point that you can't be satisified with it. You should just sell it. Seriously. Honda/Toyota are a overall better customer experience.

My experience? 2024 Maverick Lariat EcoBoost AWD 4K Tow - 0 recalls to date.

Apparently, you haven't search recalls for Honda or Toyota recently.
No... Have just owned plenty of them... Couldn't kill my Hondas... neglect only encouraged them. DId have a Sienna with the problematic steering rack...but of course it also received alot of abuse in Mexico (sometimes you have to ford creeks in our municipality)

Ahh the old I owned A Honda or Toyota in their heyday, so I assume they're still the same.

Well I sold my Honda in Feb 2024, after I received my Maverick in Jan 2024. But yes, it was a 2009. Sold my Toyotas recently too, and yes they were both 2007 models. So admittedly don't have experience with models produced in the last 15 years. Guess I'll just keep my mouth shut about the 15 and 16 years of no recall ownership.

I agree. I have always owned at least one Toyota, starting in 1980, with Toyota pickup (basic unit with 20R engine. Various others including 4 Camrys, a Venza, 2002 Tundra (4.7L), 2008 Tundra, 2014 4Runner. The only recall was the airbags on the Venza and 4Runner (Takata) As of January 2024, over 100 million airbag inflators worldwide have been recalled by more than 20 carmakers. A mouse once chewed wiring harness near intake manifold on 2008 Tundra. About a hundred bucks to fix. That is all I've had happen on all my vehicles, so ya, I'm a Toyota fan boy. I think Ford could lessen the recall issues by doing this. (won't be cheap for them). For every recall on a vehicle, Ford would be required to reimburse each individual of the affected vehicle a sum of $100 dollars for their inconvenience. Payable when you drop off the vehicle for the recall. My guess is one of two things would happen. There could be some openings for new engineers at Ford, or, they will get their act together quickly. Money talks and BS walks. In my lifetime seems money (the bottom line) always wins out.

In a computer driven new manufacturing arena you are going to see programming recalls a lot more of them. None of them have been functionally bad and cannot be ridden through. I love my 23 lariat hybrid. It’s one of the best cars I’ve ever had at the lowest price. Just remember you get what you pay for.

Toyota of today:

2021 RAV4 Prime Plug-In Hybrid vehicles due to the risk of the hybrid system shutting down and stalling while driving in EV Mode in cold weather conditions if the accelerator is rapidly pressed.

2022-2023 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles that have a Toyota genuine accessory tonneau cover. NHTSA said the cover may detach if the tonneau cover attachment joints become loose.

2022-2023 Corolla Cross vehicles due to a manufacturing defect in the instrument panel. Improper deployment of the front-passenger airbag violates safety regulations.

2023 Camry and Camry Hybrid. The lug nuts that connect the wheels to the vehicle may not have been tightened properly, which can result in the wheels detaching.

2023 models, including Corolla, Corolla Cross, Corolla Cross Hybrid, Highlander, Highlander Hybrid, and Tacoma, as well as 2023 Lexus RX350, RX350 Hybrid, RX500 Hybrid, and 2023-2024 Lexus NX250, NX350, and NX350 Hybrid vehicles due to an issue with the electrical connection inside the steering column's spiral cable assembly. NHTSA said this may have caused the driver's airbag to deactivate.

2021-2022 RAV4 Prime and 2022 Lexus NX450h+ plug-in hybrid electric vehicles on July 12 due to a potential electrical short-circuit caused by a damaged electric current rectifying module in the DC-DC converter.

2022-2023 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles due to a potential fuel leak caused by a plastic fuel tube rubbing against metallic brake lines.

2013-2018 RAV4 vehicles. The NHSTA said replacement 12-volt batteries may not fit properly in the battery tray, causing the battery to move and contact the hold-down bracket, which could result in a short circuit.

2023 Toyota GR Supra models due to a manufacturing defect with the weld seam of the integrated transmission control unit's cover. This issue could've caused automatic transmission oil to leak into the transmission control unit, leading to hazardous driving conditions and potential damage to the vehicle.



I can keep going if you still want to compare your 'older' Toyotas to current Fords. I can make a list just as long for Honda as well.
