I have a ā23 hybrid and Iāve always thought the 2.5 Atkinson engine had a kind of a growl sound, donāt think anything is wrong just a faint growl. After reading previous discussions about premium fuel I thought Iād try some premium gas. So at the pump I looked at the price difference and...
I had the same problem with these Ford Pass messages and I decided to take it back to Ford and be persistent until they got it fixed. I was not going to buy a $250 battery if I didnāt have to on a 10 month old truck. I took it back several times where they always tested the battery and said it...
Oil is cheap Iām sure the 2.5 Atkinson engine is very expensive to replace. I donāt even pay any attention to the smart oil change thing (I never see it) because I change the oil and filter at 5k miles.
I have a ā23 Mav hybrid that worked perfectly from when I picked it up new in Feb ā23 til about November when it started getting cold here in Ohio. I started getting the dreaded battery alerts on the Ford Pass App suggesting I drive the truck more to fix the problem. Ok Iāll drive it more! I...
Did you call your insurance agent? Why are you trying to fight with the dealer? Your insurance company is holding the bag let them figure out who is paying for the damages?
I knew exactly what you meant when I read your title. I have to do the same thing if I want to use my remote start in this cold weather. To keep all the features we use (heated seats, remote start ā¦.) working I have to charge the battery every couple of days.. Iāve had it into the Ford dealer...
I notice the clicking when I go to my garage to get something I forgot to bring in from the last time I drove. I just open the doors and clickity click ⦠It sounds like relays to me something Iād expect in an electrified vehicle
Thanks Cyborg,
Iām thinking the engineers at Ford either put in a battery thatās too small or an under powered charging system or both. I think the deep sleep problem is caused because weāre using the heated seats in the cold weather. I check the battery voltage before we leave for drive and the...
Thanks Cyborg
Iāve been thinking about getting one of those battery trackers. Iāve been measuring the voltage after i drive the Maverick with a voltmeter. After each long (50 miles+)drive Iāve found the voltage goes down about 1 volt so if you follow the recommendations in the Ford Pass message...
We just got back from visiting my brother at 6:00 pm 50 miles away so 100 miles of driving. Itās 10:43 PM and i just checked Ford Pass. Yep there it was the deep sleep message.
āYour Alto (I named it after the color) equipped with FordPass(TM) Connect has entered Deep Sleep mode to conserve...
I received my Maverick hybrid in the middle of February 2023 and I live in Ohio with cold winter weather. I had zero problems in February, March ,April and through the summer. Then this fall Iāve had the āDeep Sleepā issues (every couple of days) where the Ford Pass message tells you something...
The only āshakingā I ever get on my ā23 Maverick hybrid is hardly noticeable and only when it transitions from electric to the gas engine. And this only happens occasionally and probably only for a fraction of a second. Iām pretty sure itās normal. Ford did a nice job designing my hybrid...
I donāt know where my Hybrid Maverick engine and transmission were built but they run as smoothly and reliable as a well charged Apple Watch!! I love driving this truck and to those still waiting, itās well worth the wait. (477 day wait for mine)
sorry to hear about the problems with your maverick.
I took delivery of my Maverick hybrid in February. Iāve had zero problems and i love driving this truck. I havenāt noticed that the plastic is overly easy to scratch. Iāve been watching the plastic panel where you drag your foot across while...
