Hybrid Mav Issue(s) Timeline

[JJJJR]

Luv my Mav when I actually have it and it is running properly but getting a little ridiculous. I wanted to share a summary timeline of my Mav journey. Lots more details if you have questions or thoughts.



March 14: At dealer for airbag recall and interior passenger side leak and mold issue.

(Previously posted in forum for passenger side water leak issues)

April 14: Airbag recall finished and replacement carpets arrived.

April 26: Informed that dashboard and trim pieces were scratched during servicing. Replacement parts ordered.

May 19: Dash and other replacement parts arrived at dealer.

May 24: Picked up Mav from dealer.

May 25: No power. Mav in deep sleep mode. Towed back to dealer.

June 5: In spite of new battery installed and needing to charge twice because of continued draw, dealer unable to find cause. Starting to pull fuses/modules.

June 6: Dealer believes the issue is a “faulted out headlight switch” that caused the headlights to come on while the vehicle is off. (I never noticed this) More parts ordered.

June 9: New switch installed but did not correct the problem. New “body control module” has been ordered. Beyond frustrated. 3 monthly payments (next week will be 4) and had the vehicle for less than 18 hours during this timeframe



And, the icing on the cake is, yes, my Mav is listed in the recall for the 2nd engine fire issue. Ugh!

Sounds like you’d qualify for a lemon law buy back situation?
also, the affected owners for the 2nd fire recall have not been notified yet. That starts 6/12.. So while you’re in the date range, you may not be affected..

So carfax notification is not accurate?

No

That is uhhhhh not good. Not very lucky timing on your part. The old saying holds true......never buy new tech until it have been proven and debugged. I have fought this old saying myself but hoping when my 2023 arrives it will be a little less bugged up. That said my build date was May 16th soooooooooooo u knowwwwwwwww. As for you.....I would Lemon law it and order a 24

So sorry for you. I am considering canceling my hybrid order with all these issues....like every other car is a lemon. Maybe try selling it when it's running properly. I am hoping the Toyota Stout gets built in 2024. Good luck to you.......

Thanks. Working through my options.

Best of luck to you. Researching VA lemon law for me.

My XL is to be delivered in the next 2 weeks and i too am thinking of just not buying with all the recalls. Haven't made up my mind yet but am moving towards just letting it go.​

I am especially concerned with the poor quality interior materials. There is no fix for plastic that damages so easily. Ugh ...

Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water! I am sad that some are suffering issues. But there are many, many others with no issues at all. My ‘23 Mav with now 3200 miles has performed beyond my expectations and with no issues.

 

[HybridOnOrder]

I agree with Bill K. Even to the OP, hopefully when everything is repaired you can enjoy your Maverick.

I have almost 2k miles and I love it. I have also had zero problems, so I realize that is much easier for me to say. Average 51+ mpg. And I get to move furniture without asking for help!

Can't beat it. Hang in there!

 

[Red Ryder]

OP's situation is remarkably similar to mine, except I did, like many of you, have 9 months and ~20,000 miles of trouble-free bliss. Between the frequent need for jump-starting and not having it for a month due to a botched airbag recall, the experience has soured.

 

[upnash]

sorry to hear about the problems with your maverick.

I took delivery of my Maverick hybrid in February. I’ve had zero problems and i love driving this truck. I haven’t noticed that the plastic is overly easy to scratch. I’ve been watching the plastic panel where you drag your foot across while getting into the truck. It takes a beating but I just wipe it off and it looks good.

April 2022 build and now 20k miles of no problems. I feel bad for those that have problems, but for the thousands of vehicles built, only a few are having problems.
