Mr. Jim Farley,


I trust this letter reaches you well. I am writing to express my deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding the ongoing warranty repairs on my recently purchased Ford Maverick Hybrid, and I hope you can provide urgent assistance in resolving the matter.

I am Wilson, the owner of a Ford Maverick Hybrid, purchased on October 17, 2022, with the vehicle identification number [VIN] 3FTTW8E34NRA****** Regrettably, I have been experiencing significant issues with the vehicle, primarily related to the front axles and heat exchanger. The front axes have been in need of repair for over six weeks now, while the heat exchanger issue has persisted for an alarming nine months, both due to a seemingly persistent lack of available parts.

The extent of these delays has left me without my beloved Maverick for an extended period, and I find myself in the unfortunate position of having to rent a replacement vehicle at my own expense due to the unavailability of loaner cars. This situation is particularly disheartening as I have a deep affection for the Maverick, having previously owned a Ford Maverick over 35 years ago.

My disappointment is further compounded by a series of issues I have encountered with this model. Less than a year into ownership, I faced a Check Engine Light (CEL) during a 500-mile trip. Subsequently, eight months later, the vehicle failed to start due to a bad battery cable. Now, 14 months after the initial CEL, the heat exchanger problem persists alongside the broken front axes.

I want to emphasize my genuine love for the Maverick, evident in my recent order for the upgraded Lariat (3FTTW8M34RRA*****), built on December 23, 2023, and awaiting shipping. Additionally, I had planned to order an F150 Lightning once more charging stations are installed. My enthusiasm for these models even led me to invest significantly in Ford's stocks.

However, the current situation with my Maverick Hybrid has left me questioning the reliability and customer support associated with the Ford brand. I sincerely hope that my faith in Ford can be restored through your intervention. I kindly request your assistance in expediting the necessary repairs for my Maverick Hybrid and addressing the systemic issues that seem to be affecting this model.

I appreciate your time and attention to this matter, and I trust that you will take the necessary steps to rectify the situation promptly. I remain hopeful that my future experiences with Ford will align with the positive expectations I had when choosing the Maverick Hybrid.


Sincerely yours,


Wilson

While I applaud your willingness to wait on Ford to do something, I highly recommend you start the lemon law process in your state.

Anybody else think there would be a lot less complaints about Maverick if they had never offered the Hybrid variation?

The sales wouldn't have been as high. Many of us opted for the hybrid, not the EcoBoost. Having driven an EV, I had no plans to go for a traditional EcoBoost, but eagerly went for the hybrid. The extended wait time reflects the preference for the hybrid among many buyers.

Did you mean front axles? It does stink to have those issues. Hope you get it resolved soon.

No offense to the OP, but why would you throw good money after bad?

I hold stock too, it is not a bad investment, but the Maverick Hybrid was just too frustrating.
I’m seriously considering that, either way I need to get this vehicle fixed to sell it
