The dealer's service people say they've never heard of this, then they will lie and say they tried to reproduce the problem. You're in Hawthorne, have any opinions on the service folks down there? Folks at my dealership are in the not so bright AND crooked quadrant unfortunately.

Been trying to use the official parts Black Friday discount, not one of the things I want (bed storage bins, hitch cutout cover for the mod, cabin air filter, touch-up paint, drain plugs) is considered an accessory.

I've heard, that article shows just how a whole series of misplaced incentives plays out. For sure getting a compatible scan tool now, not going to be so reliant on these folks.

I'm in a F150 XLT on their dime, lol. They can't do the math.

They've had the car almost a week and haven't bothered to do the first thing to diagnose anything. Getting irritated.

It's not in the 8-5mph rolling range, it's from any speed to a full stop that locks the wheels and loads up the front suspension, even from a crawl. Sounds like a brief pad binding groan, which in itself isn't unfamiliar, all cars do it sometimes, but then comes a clunk as the suspension is...

Update: They have had my car for five full days now, and haven't found time to hook up the scan tool, cold-start, and wait two minutes, much less to get it on the lift to inspect the front driveline and brakes. Service advisor only texts back apologies and excuses. Can anyone from the...

The ICE noise is just during warmup, the brake noise is coming to a full locked stop only. Dry southwestern climate, so by "cold" I would say yes, the overnight temps are dipping into the frigid upper fifties.

At full stop only. The switch between modes goes unnoticed after a hundred hours driving.

And three months in this Maverick, the noises are new.

First owned, but have spent weeks in them. I'm in a dry climate where rust is not happening.

If not gently babied to an impossibly smooth limo stop, there's a brief crunch and clunk sensation, sounds like the release of slightly binding disc pads, but deeper. On cold starts, as soon as the initial rumble from the ICE subsides there's a high whine, than about 60 seconds later a really...

That's a temu speedo compared to your robust basket.

Shopping around costs too! Anything that would take me at least four hours of work to make myself, and saves me an hour every couple years in maintenance, is well worth a hundred bucks, and I like keeping my neighbors employed? Selling this to one in five Maverick owners for a price no one can...

This is great! What is the printed volume of these? A local shop says they'll charge $1/cc for black ABS, plus a nominal setup fee. Sounds like a deal compared to the half day of training and then scheduling time to print it at the library.

Not hearing any stories remotely like this about any other brand. What's amazing is that this level of incompetence doesn't crash the whole business, just empowers dealers to gouge deeper.

Currently $3000 more from FWD & ICE to AWD & hybrid isn't bad. Justifiable as one upgrade or the other, and I can walk into a dealer and have a car in a month if not a day, for MSRP. The dealers selling to each other at fantasy prices broke me of wanting one, if I have to deal with these kind...

I think this is a great idea, since the system, the key/fob and the lock itself, appear to be very flimsy.

My legal opinion is that they can pound sand.

Yeah! The interior:
