you did fantastic 26k is great. I would’ve made them put you in a 24 Maverick hybrid it’ll hold it resell a lot better but you did really good. Maybe you can’t use a hybrid I don’t know. sorry for your issues, but the numbers seem to be in your favor.Today I ended my saga with the highly anticipated time I would spend with my loaded XLT. It started in Oct. of 2021 when I Placed my order and welcomed it with open arms on May 5th, 2022. Almost 2 years to the day ... it's gone. The past 3 months have been a real pain in the ass. Ford Motor Company is at fault. In late February the first of 4 complete power losses occurred with my 2.0 Eco/AWD Maverick. They occur while at a stop waiting for a light change or at a stop sign. That is when the complete loss of power occurs and all the warning systems and dash signs start flashing. From that point, it will not restart requiring a tow truck to get it to the dealer. I need to add that this is with 39000 miles. Needless to say who pays the bill for this cluster from here on out? The dealer and Ford at this point can't figure out why this happened ... no reports of this happening and since the vehicle starts right up when it gets to the dealer the only code showing when analyzed is a loss of communication code. The battery is fine and they set the computer ... keep it a week and drive to see if it will do it again ... in the meantime, I am out of the truck I need and have no real answers. In March the same thing happened again twice. Reset the computer and keep your fingers crossed. I filed a case with Ford at the suggestion of the dealer ... that is a real disappointment and a complete waste of time. The service dept warned me they are hard to get a hold of even for them. How about only speaking to the Ford Customer Rep one time when I initially called while I was sitting on the side of the road waiting 2 hours for the wrecker?!! I can go on but won't. The picture of Mav was taken today at the Ford dealer while getting my stuff out of it. It is awaiting another recall fix for the body module causing the stop lights to Stop working. Then while my service writer was driving the Mav he was hearing a low growling noise in the rear end ... so they are looking at that next. Plus I have a bill for a new battery they say is now not producing enough amps to recalibrate the computer of the bullshit Ford didn't figure correctly when they built it. The cherry on the Sundae occurred this Wednesday when calling my Ford Customer Representative in Dearborn to get them to pay for the $270.00 battery. I waited on hold listening to some insane music repeated for over 20 minutes only to be told by a machine there were no representatives available to call back later ...click. The camel's back was broken ... I now have a 2023 Frontier PRO 4X loaded with 8,200 miles a $47,600 MSRP for $37,891. Nissan gave me $26,000 for the Mav that I paid $33,000 for 2 years ago
. And the dealer did the deal sight unseen and they own it and are picking it up from Ford when they are done doing their recalibrating and rear-end investigation.
.I am happy and sad ... I liked the Mav except for the bullshit for the past 3 months. The Nissan is a step up in the feel of more quality.
I get it. I've been car shopping the last couple of weeks. My Mav has been in and out of the Ford Dealer since January. I really like my Maverick, but probably not enough to cash out and start again.Today I ended my saga with the highly anticipated time I would spend with my loaded XLT.

I know the benefits of newer vehicles but I miss the times where I could easily diagnose and fix everything myself.Today I ended my saga with the highly anticipated time I would spend with my loaded XLT.

Yours is the first I've heard of a Diehard A4 flooded failing in a hybrid Mav. I've already changed to 95% via Forscan--hope that keeps my own Diehard alive. No deep sleep issues since putting in the Diehard, but if I have issues, I will be going the AGM route. No tolerance for battery issues here!
That is so true ... Most of Ford's recent recalls involve "recalibrating the computer".
I really like my Ford dealer and they were obviously willing to work with me. Trouble is they had nothing in stock and dealers here are not trading Mavericks. So that meant ordering one. I wasn't doing that again.
I have a 1st year Mav have 16K on it , pure xl hybrid, and honestly I have not had one problem with it except for those 'grabby brakes' that were fixed via a software upgrade, I don't think it has anything to do with being a 1st year vehicle, I jumped in as the price was outstanding and really 0 actual probs. It does seem though that it's the build and software that are contributing to most of the issues we read about. I do think that the reliance on software controlling most of the functionality (I don't know why they didn't just rely on the old tried and true 'fast blinker' when a turn signal goes out method, grabby brakes is sort of silly), so far there have been 4 issues resolved by software updates.
Lol I'd love to know what that actually means. Reset it? I currently have an issue with my Mav. Three weeks to get an appointment. I expect thats what they will tell me.
My DieHard was a T4 470 CCA 585 CA 70 minute reserve flooded battery. Within the 4 months of having it, I received 4 "sleep" messages. The last one was the nail in the coffin. After receiving the last message, I went out to my truck and clicked my remote and nothing happened. Had to unlock the truck with my key. Battery was completely dead. This tells me that in the four months since the battery was installed, it wasn't getting enough charging from the system. During that 4 months, I did several 200 mile round trips. What was really disturbing was after I did 4 hour highway trip (2-hours up, 2-hours back), I received a "sleep" message the next morning!! Go figure!
