Like with the Auto Start/Stop, this likely won't be possible either. The EPA certifications regarding Emissions and Economy results extend to the vehicle calibration *at the time of testing*, meaning they'd have to independently certify the vehicle for operation on public roads in each...

May just be an EVAP vent issue. If you're still under warranty, Ask the dealer to diag for "Fuel smell after sitting", they should run an EVAP test and that would rule it out.

I believe you can turn down the sensitivity. Just spent two days in heavy Charlotte traffic last weekend, no false activation for me. I have had it save my tail once already when someone turned in front of me, so I'm keeping it switched on.

After our first road trip in my MY23, I immediately removed the rear headrests. Made a world of difference for rear visibility. Also, I took a Defensive Driving course for my last job and one of the main takeaways was that you have no reason to need to see your door handles in your rear view...

While I understand the want for Ford to be held accountable if they have indeed released engines with manufacturing defects, there is quite a bit overblown in this thread. First, can anyone point to a specific event where a Hybrid Maverick has just...poof...erupted in flames on the highway...

This thread is missing critical information on this subject, mainly; Can anyone cite a source saying how many Hybrid engine fires have resulted from engine failures? Can anyone post the FSA# for the most recent recall?

These gearboxes like to get out of 1st very quickly. So if there's any throttle modulation directly after taking off, the 1-2 shift may be interrupted by changes in throttle position. As long as it doesn't do it *every time* you start and stop, I wouldn't think too hard on it.

You will appreciate that hood, and all the room under it, if you ever end up doing any engine repairs yourself and have to fit your hands back behind the cylinder head lol

Ford has not created their own specific licensed "spec" for oils like GM has with the Dexos license. WSS-M2C961-A1 aligns with API SP/GL-6A. As long as it meets those, it's within spec. EDIT: just saw yours is a Hybrid. different Ford #, same most recent specs, just different weight/blend.

This is not a catastrophic code. Visit the dealer when you return home, and let the warranty to it's job.

My '07 Fusion calls for 35psi. The first set of tires (new when I bought it) wore the edges of the fronts well before the middle of the tires, so when I replaced them I pretty much always kept the second set at 40 and was kind of anal about maintaining the pressure reading. It was always...

$5 says it's leaning against the wall behind the tech's toolbox because either they 1) noticed it when they walked back in the building and were afraid to admit they'd forgotten it for fear of getting chewed out or 2) found it, let the service advisor know and they're the one who should have...

This is 100% a service department issue. “We lose money on every install” is an excuse worth some cuss words. Installer should have noticed the parts weren’t all there, stopped to let you know and then put them back in the box. If I’d have tried to half-ass a customer like that I’d have been...

Welcome from Eastern NC!

I think I remember your original posts about the problem. Were you the one who had an EGR leak that dumped coolant down the exhaust and set catalyst inefficiency codes? If so, did they replace the EGR yet?

The transmission is being replaced as an assembly instead of being disassembled and repaired because it is within 12 months/12,000 miles. Even if it is something simple, on a unit that new Ford wants the unit back to inspect for issues. Could be as simple as a gear position sensor. No telling...

I didn't have a Window Sticker available until after the tracker updated to "built". I think it's just whenever the office person sits down to update the data.

It will be done "hastily" either way. IME, whether it's done in Quicklane by lubetechs, or by line techs in the shop, the quality of work will be roughly the same. The warranty time is probably garbage so they aren't gonna hand an airbag recall to an A-tech unless it's something notoriously...

@BDennis there you go. The API/ILSIC GF rating is the one to pay attention to. You are suggesting that there is a difference between the Ford WSS specification and the GF rating, when in reality they are one and the same. More precisely, the Ford specification is a direct reference to the GF6A...

Good to know! This makes a good point as well, to check the physical packaging for updates. If the packaging bears the proper API/GF markings, then there ya go!
