Maverick reliability

[Mav_RICK]

Sorry, no. It just appeared as replaced under warranty on my receipts, no charge.

Yeah just wondering if the battery you had was a dud or if they actually gave you a higher spec battery.

A year and a half! Hybrid shows a lifetime 43 MPG, real world is 41. Disappointed with the brake TSB not having any effect, and I also had the airbag recall attended to. Dealer called me when parts were available for both.

It is a great vehicle, fun to drive (except when creeping to a stoplight) and no issues that stopped me from using the truck when I wanted to use it.

Took very recent delivery of my 23 Hybrid and have no issue with modulation or grabbing of the brakes. Whatever the source was, seems Ford remedied the problem.

I am not sure why some people say "no problems other than recalls". Given that when I have to take my car to the dealer "I can't use It", why wouldn't that count as a yes. Particularly when it took more than one trip to the dealer to resolve the airbag recall. Maintenace (Oil changes) and repairs (cracked windshield) don't count as a yes but recalls do.

I responded to a Consumer Reports survey and I found it humorous that my wife's 11 year old Mazda had zero time "unavailable" in the past year but my 1 year old truck was unavailable for +3 days.

However, I love my new truck and do not regret buying it and look forward to driving it for many years. I never drive my wife's car unless I have too, it is just missing too many modern convivences that I have become accustomed to in my Lariat.

Depends on the question. If the question is whether you have personally experienced issues with the vehicle, then a proactive recall addressing an issue you haven't experienced would not count. If you were looking at any occurrence that prevented you from being able to freely use the vehicle, then a recall would count.

A recall does not mean the vehicle is unreliable but frequent service visits for any reason mean the vehicle isn't always available as needed.

Though, do note that none have been issued for Maverick to date that include an order/advisory to park the vehicle and stop driving it, only to stop driving a hybrid if it exhibits symptoms of engine failure. Though that also applies to our EcoBoost members on here...

I was focusing on the end of the poll question ".. kept you from driving your Maverick as needed" which I have personally experienced. I agree if the focus is "reliability" then yes my Maverick has been very reliable. I have never hesitated to take it on road trips and it only refused to start once when the key fob was too cold to work with the push button start. I never had that problem with my 21 year old Ranger but now that I have lived with the push button for a year I love it.

I am very happy so far. However to be fair I have only logged over 2k on the vehicle. LOL It's a new vehicle what do you expect. What impressed me the most was the way it handled on deep sand that's precisely why I purchased the Tremor option. The locking differential is the ticket. My Blazer did well on the beach however the Maverick was much smoother. Must be those good old computers doing there thing. I'll get back to you in another 15,000 miles.

What is the orange striping you have around the bottom sides of the truck? WHats the material, install etc?

I applied pinstriping tape. One line only. Apply in long runs to keep the tape straight.

Do you have a link where you purchased your pinstriping tape? Subtle accent looks great-

Just checking the club's experience so far. Have you had to sideline your Maverick? Or are you Happily driving it every day? Please give a brief description of the issue that sidelined you.

Remember you can change your vote later if things change.

i took delievery of a 2023 Lariet Hybrid 26 april 2023, 1550miles in and no issues whatsoever so far but its early. loving my truck is a gross understatement.

Not the highest quality tape however here's the item number

292692011553
I purchased it from eBay it's the two millimeter and four millimeter tape roll two stripes together you'll have to separate one of them to do the job'. Or use a size to your liking. You will need a thinner tape to do the front as the curves are difficult.

 

[RR - All the way]

Current yes votes is 29. 24 hybrid and 5 EB. Percentage hybrids is 82.75%
