Did Ford say there would be a fix in Q1, or has it all just been forum chatter?

😉 hmmm. In the article that I looked at. Ford hedge their bet by saying expected in the first quarter.
Just slightly better than saying.
'Rumored to be fixed by the end of the first quarter.' 🤣

For those of you still suffering from the issue - buy your own AGM (possibly larger capacity), increase your max SoC, and keep your keys away from your Maverick.

Can also reduce your timeout default time to keep 12v a bit happier.

They just came out with a similar repair for 2023-2024 Escapes, to update modules and test and replace the battery, so I watch for it every morning - if your battery fails in that repair, it's ONLY COVERED 3/36, even though the drain causes the premature battery failure...Then they update come of the modules...

Keeping my key fob in the Mav puts an extra drain on my battery? Just recently my dome lights have not been coming on. Had it at the dealer 2 weeks ago they told me battery was fine but the BMS connecter had come loose. Everything was fine till 3 days ago, back with no domes.

It sure does because it will keep thinking you are going to be using it.

Thanks for that information. I had no clue. First vehicle I owned with a fob. Seems to be a lot of stuff that does not add to my driving satisfaction but does add to my driving distractions.

MAYBE jumping the gun here as its only April 1st. BUT

It looks that the ONLY way ford does anything is with class action lawsuit.

Any lawyers here interested??

Yes lawyers are the only ones who make money in a class action but I don't care as long as it forces ford to do something.

Bring your key fob in the house. Very simple solution.

They just rolled out a fix for the backup camera, so their service centers are busy with that.

They'll fix it. They just had to deal with the stop sale issue first, as obviously that's more important.
