On the bright side, I talked to somebody who had a hybrid Maverick yesterday and they claimed it's their second one and they haven't had any issues. So I realized forums only show the issues, not the people who don't have problems usually. But I'm really becoming more and more hesitant about getting a Maverick. I would Hope by the time the 2025s come out if I get one of them or maybe a 2024 they would have all of these bugs worked out. I'm also a little concerned with Ford quality/ longevity compared to Japanese counterparts. Ford should really get this stuff sorted because if Toyota ever comes out with an affordable little truck like The stout scout that doesn't cost my left one or look like it's on steroids or belonging in the transformers movies. I would probably go that route instead

One would hope it also contains the bug fixes for whatever is causing hybrids to go into low power mode or shut off entirely.

unbelievable.

11 recalls on the 22
7 recalls on the 23
4 recalls on the 24.

Guess its trending down but dont worry, refresh in 25 will bring new bugs and things will reset back at 11 or more

edit: 7 of these recalls at least on the 22's are for FMVSS regulatory items !

11 recalls, but not all vehicles impacted. As of now, I have only had 3 against my SN

It could be worse. You could have bought a 2024 Tesla Cybertruck for $100K that has had significant recalls and problems already!. The number of recalls has risen about 46% in the past 10 years across ALL manufacturers and its not slowing down..

ET is engineering test mode and it should go away after you power off the truck and then restart it.

if it's stuck in ET mode that is not normal and you should definitely go back to your dealership.
