Where in the owners manual is the color of the temperature icon being red or white discussed? If not why not? And yes the Mavericks' instrument cluster is just that a "Cluster......."
Ya..... no.Ok I am confused, I own a 23 Hybrid. Does this "pointer" indicate that the temp was in the middle? Is the icon on the left always red?
But that is SOOOO OLD School, we need something that looks cool and a lot more confusing.Ya..... no.

Comes off the C at 120°F
First Hash Mark is 145°F
Where it is now is 180°F
They have to go back to mechanical gauges. It is tried and true and there was nothing wrong with them.Ya..... no.

Actually the focus is cutting cost. That little LED screen is cheap and can be updated with software to reflect other things should they choose to do so. It is a cost cutting race to the bottom.

Operate your vehicle in fail-safe mode only as long as necessary to bring your vehicle to rest in a safe location and seek immediate repairs. When in fail-safe mode, your vehicle will have limited power, will not be able to maintain high-speed operation, and may completely shut down without warning, potentially losing engine power, power steering assist, and power brake assist, which may increase the possibility of a crash resulting in serious injury.

I am so sorry for what you had to experience, but this is the exact reason I will never own an EV or hybrid, I will stick with my gasoline burning, outdated dinosaur cause I know how they work, (or supposed to). Batteries for EV’s and hybrids are out of control as far as replacement costs are, thanks to, hmm… so many reasons!Howdy,
I picked up my Maverick from the Ford dealer yesterday after body repairs from a minor collision that sidelined the truck for four months after only three days of use. After ten miles the truck began slowing from 55 to 36 mph. A minute later, it resumed speed. Then a warning came up on the display and it began slowing again. I pulled over, raised the hood and shut the truck off as the next message said the engine had overheated. It was only 82° F and I wasn't working the truck at all.
While waiting for the engine to cool off I called the dealer and they gave me the number for roadside assistance. An hour on the phone and being told it would be another 45 minutes before a tow truck would show, I restarted the truck and turned on the engine with no faults but a check engine light. I drove a couple of miles to a store with the AC on and the engine overheated again as I pulled in for a cold drink. I remembered in my teenage years that I could turn the heat on and keep an engine cool enough to get me to where I needed to go. That's what I did and drove it back to Ford for service.
Well gee, in four and a half months, I got to drive my truck four days and 450 miles. I'm waiting on the dealer now and have no ETA or explanation. I'm disgusted! Do y'all have any idea wth is going on with this pos?
The message was most probably due to the engine coolant loop, there's no escaping incompetent mechanics, and replacement costs for batteries are not "out of control" - they basically don't exist. You could refurbish a battery for a few hundred bucks at most, but you won't need to.
EXACTLY!
I don't understand what either one of you are saying and how it relates to this guy's truck with just 450 miles overheating. I'm not picking a fight... I'm just geniunely confused by your statements...
OPs title is little disingenuous - like OP just purchased the Maverick and after 3-4 days and 400 miles it overheated.
