Thanks!!

Based on how often people in this forum jump all over anyone who questions the quality of Ford's vehicles, I'm not expecting this thread to go well.

I'm feeling good about having purchased an extended warranty. As the article states, "The problems continued in 2021. That year Ford allocated $1,041 per vehicle for covering warranty claims." Seems like the cost of my extended warranty is somewhat similar, and it about doubles the duration of the original warranty. The accounting department at Ford seems to be on their toes.

But at least Ford has hired someone to deal with the problem. If my truck proves to be unreliable, I'll sell it with some warranty remaining--and then decide if Mr. Halliburton's mission was successful before buying something else from Ford. While I love my truck, I'm never had so many issues with any Toyota, Honda, or Mitsubishi that I've owned.

To the Ford Social Media ‘Always On Team’ (that’s ‘sposed to be checking these things), 4 words to guide your Quality initiatives related to Hybrid Mavericks:

• Dead Batteries
• Faulty Harnesses

The 5th word should be a word that’s chilling and a precursor to either ‘pending’ or ‘inevitable’:

• RECALL

Hope this helps you navigate this 1st year build!

Hey Snax do you have a hybrid? Or an ecoboost?

Yeah, fanboys dumped all over my post in June, but fact is Ford is doing a ton of warranty work because of these quality issues. It’s an ongoing problem that they themselves have admitted is a top priority. Ford had more warranty payouts last year than any company in the US across all industries, not just automotive. Not pretty. Still pumped to get my Mav.

In my view, Ford has not been an automotive manufacturer known for its quality. I have been a Mazda fan since 1992 due to their quality. I never purchase an extended warranty for my Mazda vehicles. For my Maverick I did purchase an extended warranty because I anticipate repairs will be needed.

Got that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. It hasn’t been going great so far for me or my truck. What is it going to be like in 3 to 5 years, same downward track or will it level out and just be first year issues?

Geez, hire folks to monitor forums, social media, etc. and you will see problems quick.

Ford's biggest issue is not acting fast enough and notifying dealers. Folks here know more about issues than dealers.

A great example is when everything dies on a hybrid Maverick. Where is the recall or TSB?

I have a 2021 Ford Bronco Sport that has been great, no issues whatsoever. However, this Maverick has turned out to be somewhat of a dud in my opinion. Only so many things you can blame on covid and supply shortages.

I think that since I'm getting converted to a '23 I'll be a little better off as they've been addressing they're growing pains with the first year. So far here in SW Chicagoland I've run into about 10 Maverick owners and they've all been happy with their small trucks.
