My 4-day old new Maverick hit by a driver who ran a light. Will this be totaled?

It may not be totaled in a $ value, but you'll never get parts for it.

I am thinking probably not totaled. Any more towards center line then Yes.

That's ugly but probably not fatal. With the number of Mavs totaled there should be used parts in the pipeline.

Did airbags or seatbelt pretensioners fire? That makes a huge difference.

Otherwise, I don't see it being totaled from my not-a-mechanic experience.

I hope Ford and their suppliers can get ahead on the parts availability. I am replacing a great Saturn SUV for fear the parts will become hard to find due to it being discontinued. I am not so worried about engine parts as the 3.6L is still being used in many of the GM brands. My fear has been and will be losing my vehicle while I wait for the parts needed to make the repairs!

Why not? Plenty of parts available recycled from damaged Mavericks.

No. I got a message that the airbags malfunctioned.

"malfunctioned???" Whomever told you that needs to present the facts as to why, and Ford best take a serious look and address it as a probable recall!

Hopefully, that would be a FordPass message...and Ford will get it as well, according to my service guy.

Ouch!! That’s a nasty crunch!! I’m no body shop repairman, but there’s going to be more damage than meets the eye, for sure! I feel sorry for you after all of the waiting you did to get your Maverick. And to have it only four days before someone hit you is devastating!!

Sorry to see that.
Probably should just order a fresh one, by the time parts are available maybe your new one will arrive and you can trade it in.

My Maverick replaced a Saturn Vue for the same reason. Honestly, I almost went with Jeep Gladiator for the sole reason of part availability. Say what you will about the Jeep community, they make aftermarket parts for a long time.

If after the crash, that might make sense. Airbag sensor might have triggered but not enough G-force to fire them off. Thus it would give an error post-crash. Would be included in the repair.

That absolutely sucks. Hopefully no one was hurt. Hate seeing that especially when you just got it.

That WOULD be most excellent!
