I posted last week about my dead hybrid Maverick. I took it to the dealer and they did a bunch of software updates on it, checked a fuse and the wiring harness, and then replaced the battery. It seemed like the problem was solved until once again I came out to a dead truck yesterday morning.

I even disabled wifi and FordPass after the battery was replaced in case that was draining it. I have a hard time believing this brand new battery was bad from the start as they tested it and said it was perfect.

I called the dealership again and they said they can't get me in again for 3 weeks! This is so frustrating because this is my only vehicle and I have a 40 mile commute to work every day. There's no reason this should be happening in a 3 month old vehicle.
I have been lucky on my 2022 first edition 22.5k miles. Never had deep sleep but have had no dome lights 3-4 times. Never put my noco genius 5 on but will after 3yr/36mo passes. I do have a voltage monitor in my dash power point. It would show in am accessory check 11.8-12.2v regularly. Monitor would show 14.2-15.2 volts while running. On Oct 26, 2023 at 21,405 miles Dealer performed 23E09 reprogram power train control module (mentioned 23E09 several times but once mentioned 23E09B, I have no idea what B meant but assume may have been an updated version??). Since the reprogram my voltage monitor shows 14.7-15.5 (seldom 15.6) most of time. The accessory mode reading is now usually 14.3-14.6v. I have no idea if the better reading is a result of the 23E09 reprogram or the tech did something else (nothing else being mentioned on work order). The milage in and out was same so did no road test but time on meter has over an hour. Only five weeks on reprogram but seems to have better battery voltage in am even after three nights between uses. Good luck on yours.

You are correct there is no reason for this. Ford should step up.

Hail Mary- But this secondary battery lug caused a lot of troubleshooting and a battery swap- Figured out later it was loose from the factory- This lug does not get touched during a battery swap which was over-looked. Good luck
Ford Maverick Truck dead again not even a week later! B1

You're living my life, it was frustrating never knowing if it would start or not.

They should give you an F150 Lightning as a loaner. Nobody is buying them anyway.

I agree this shouldn't be happening and FORD clearly has no interest in actually solving the battery issues many of their vehicles are currently having and have been for years now. Sorry about your situation. I think the best thing you can do is buy a jumper like a NOCO one.
Damn this forum. Just think week I've dropped $130 on the all in one bottle-jack-stands and now I just dropped $99 on a NOCO charger.

Which bottle jack did you end up with ? Not sure the OEM lift will go high end enough to swap on a lifted rig- Thx
