Long story short, I got check engine light on Maverick initially at 1700 miles then for every 500 miles there after. Currently I am at 3200 miles after a month and half..Dropped of the car at the dealership and they indicated that the engine needs to be replaced. They didn't get into specifics of what went wrong. I am due for engine replacement even before I made the first payment. (I received P0811 error code on ODB scanner)
Timeline...Ordered in June First week. Took delivery on January 27. First check engine light on Feb 10 @1700 miles. Currently at 3200 miles.
Dealership was able to get me a rental and hopefully this will be resolved soon.
Update
04/05 - Received the car after a month. Dealership informed me that it took 30 days to receive the replacement parts and 2-3 days for replacement. I was happy to get back into my car.
First Impression - Truck was smooth and quiet before the parts replacement and now it sounds like a transformer truck - During initial start and upto 40 miles per hour, engine makes noise that sounds like a mini version of F-150 + sounds from electronics. I informed the dealership the same, they were pretty occupied to look at it again. Also, I am in-between moving half way across the country, so I can't leave the car at the dealership for another month.
I drove above 500-600 miles after the repair, but not happy with way truck sounds now.
I am having mixed feelings to take truck for long drive, but I don't have another option at this point of time. I have another 2500 mile trip over the next 2-3 weeks. Hopefully truck can make it through.
