NEED HELP. Ford Maverick Mechanical issues - Dealer Service don't want to do anything.

[garn0]

I need some help from community to figure out what actions i need to take.

I've been having issues with my Hybrid XL Maverick 2022 since 2000 miles, currently it have 3400 miles approx.

Issues are:
- Vibrations when i release gas pedal on 20-35 mph. Car shakes pretty badly. Happens every day.
(This is post on reddit about it) link
- Super loud engine idle. Happens once in 2 weeks. Pretty often on remote start
(Youtube short video here) link
This what respond i got from Service Dealer.

My tires are 235/65/R17.
So "Experienced" mechanic tells that by upgrading tires from 225 to 235 i am having all those vibrations.

The probably should tell, that my Bedliner is causing all those engine issues as well.

I do not know what should i do at this point.
Service department is completely useless. They just looking for excuses for every thing.

I still have my default tires, but i think even after replacing them and bridging to dealership servce.
They probably will tell "Oh we dont know what the issue is, resolve it with Ford".

When i initially brought car, they said "We cant diagnose an issue because we dont have a tool which cost 5000$" and we are not gonna pay that money for a tool.

All experience so far was horrible, 3 month of wasted time and 0 output.

What should i do?

Step 1: Find another dealer and schedule an appt with them.

Step 2: Call Ford customer service and tell them about your experience so far, then explicitly ask for a field technician to come out and look at it if that dealer can't help you.

Step 3: Get acquainted with your state's lemon law. In WA, if it's in the shop for more than 30 days, a vehicle is eligible for a repurchase.

it is my 2nd dealer so far.
The first one said pretty much "We dont know". Probably tires.

2nd Dealer pull that records. And said the same BS.

Change the tires back to originals and see if issue goes away. If it goes you have your answer. If not. Ford will not have tire excuse any longer.

This. I get its a PITA, but not rocket science. Eliminate the excuse, see what happens. Who knows, maybe it is the tires (I know probably not but could be).
