I bought my 22 Lariat new at rodeo Ford in Goodyear AZ. A year later I was having an electrical issue and took it to the Buckeye dealer. They found the tracker and removed it as part of their repair.. I was glad they noticed it and took appropriate action.
Actually their service improved somewhat since covid. My Maverick battery was failing so I stopped by without an appointment and was in and out in a bit less than an hour. Have not needed to go back since. Just got a card from Jones Ford in Buckeye for the works package at $79.95 and...
I am a bit confused. I spent 10 years at a shop that rebuilt salvage vehicles and bought from COPART but the shop in Calif received a Salvage Certificate, not a Salvage Title. After repairs and inspections a PRIOR Salvage Title was issued in Calif. Or am I behind times? Get it titled in...
IF you are keeping it as YOUR ride and IF you are in a semi-lenient state odds are you can pass an inspection and register as a prior salvage vehicle. once upon time in Calif I bought a 1 yo pickup with NO straight panels. I made sure all lights worked and the glass was intact. It passed...
I have not yet looked at the 25 Maverick, but if the HVAC controls are all on the screen I won't waste my time looking at it. My wife traded in her 22 Subaru because of the stupid touch screen and manufacturers are slowly learning the touch screen forces the driver to take their eyes off the...
I have a habit of wanting the Ford extended warrantee. The last two dealers refused to sell it, offering me their warrantee instead. Each time I said "OK" and then cancelled the warrantee a week later and called Grainger. Funny thing is that after I went with the rip-off warrantee the...
I hear ya! My prior ride was a 16 Lariat F150. Seat and Mirror memory, drivers seat moves back when engine shuts off, power passenger seat, split fold down rear seat, A/C to the rear passes through center console so your drinks stay cool, cooled (not just vented) seats. etc etc etc.
My radio works unless I am on Sirius. The radio keeps forgetting the code and asks me to enter it. It also wants me to OK sharing the radio channels I listen to. Every time. Software was updated 2 weeks ago to no avail. I can make calls by bluetooth but not if I am plugged in...
I drove and enjoyed my 02 4WD Sport Trac for 16 years. It sat taller than my Maverick, which I enjoyed and it rode better than the 2WD Sport in my opinion. My Maverick Hybrid does not feel as stout but I enjoy the fuel economy.
several years ago, a relative had a major engine failure on her new Ford in California. Dealer said 5-6 weeks to get an engine and install it. The subject of "Lemon law" was brought up. A new engine was located and flown from the east coast to the dealer. She got her car back in 2 weeks...
I checked my Cabin filter at 13K miles. When I removed it from my April 2022 Hybrid Lariat I found out that the worker at the factory collapsed one side of the filter so is was spotless and not effective. Comparing that filter to a new filter showed a different manufacturing technic to...
If your the type of person that replaces vehicles frequently, then an extended warrantee is not a smart move. If like me, your ride is a member of the family then they can be a smart investment. Last 2 pickups I had the extended warrantee paid for itself due to electronic parts issues...
