Selling my 2023 back to the dealer

[Nuvolari]

Taking my 2023 Lariat hybrid to the dealer I bought it from today. Selling it back to them.
Monday, it went BAT SHIT CRAZY. It would not start and had 6 error codes rolling across the screen. I used a jump box to get it started and drove 40 miles with only partial brakes available, and rolling codes on the dash. NOT FUN. The third time I have had to use a jump box to start it. Always on Batterty Tender Jr when not being driven. They replaced the 12v battery and flashed 5 modules.
Enough for me! I offered to sell it to them, they offered me $26000. In 4 hours I will get a check, they will get the most unreliable vehicle I have ever owned in 66 years of driving. Good luck to the next sucker. I'm getting a Toyota. I have owned three Toyota vehicles over the past 16 years, and I will own nothing but after today.
The MTC has been a great resource, the Maverick was fun while it lasted, but I am done. Fartley can continue to build record breaking recall vehicle. I won't own one.

Fartley! That is a really good one. His toupee probably smells like farts.

Thank goodness it wasnt an EcoBoost- would have been 10 pages on the superiority of the Hybrid......

Did you buy your Maverick new or used?

Sounds like you're in 80's. I would not put up with it either. My Mom is 82 and drives a 2016 Lexus NX built in Japan since new. It's a beast of a car.

For us youngers, especially 40's and under, the juice is worth the squeeze. I'm getting a very good ROI here over the long haul. I've got full warrenty until 125,000 miles. I do expect more failures than the avg. car but so far, so good. Can't even remember a recall causing any inconvenience.

Toyota is next in line behind Ford for total number of units recalled.

I was going to ask the same question! It almost sounded like it was purchased a few weeks ago then all this shit happened to it. If that were the case then YES, take it back to the dealer. Maybe if it was purchased three years ago and slowly had some problems, then that's a different story. Mileage & location would also be helpful. Unfortunately, once you have it in your head that a decision has been made, there's little chance of reversing it. Good luck for him with whatever he ends up getting next.

I have owned nothing but Ford over the past 30 years and they have been all reliable. Some of them I have had over 300k. My next vehicle will be my last and final and it will be a Ford.

I don't blame you for getting rid of it. Enjoy your Toyota and not having that feeling like you're living on the edge not knowing if your MAV will got Tango Uniform on you.

I am happy to be part of the recall world record.
