The Chassis Team did not inspect over one million vehicles. They inspected 3 that had the problem. Hopefully Ford will soon release how to visually check to see if there is a defect? Many of us like to get under our Mavericks and take pics:) So far 2 forum members have noticed their trucks on...

Went out to garage and took a sniff in homage to your gorgeous new Ranger, geo8866. Enjoy it!

Great advice. My 2025 manual shows the triangle with exclamation point a as “Safety Alert”. Does not explain the “LO” though. A triangle with a “lightning bolt” indicates an electrical issue…

You need to account for mph. For example, drive 100 miles at 50mph, turn around at drive back at 100mph. Your average mph is 66 not 75. If you drove longer (time) at 15 mpg than at 42mpg - the average will be skewed more towards the 15mpg. Bring a stopwatch next time;) Edit - like matmoto...

The eCVT has crappy bearings in the electric motors. Shame really - otherwise an engineering marvel.

I’m not disagreeing with you. It’s just that your earlier “drop in the bucket” comment just made me imagine careening through the guardrail of my local canyon road and thinking briefly while airborne “oh well, I’m just a drop” :) Yes, this is a small recall (so far). But it is the most...

Torture Tests are made to find potential defects. Maybe driving up and down concrete steps repeatedly tweaked the ball joint/control arm that is now involved in the recall? “Let’s take a sample of 1% and see what we discover? Let’s pick these VIN’s”

Yes, I knew the eCVT was more reliable than the automatic when I chose my Lobo. But hey, as I shift through the gears with my paddles (listening to the rpm’s rise & fall) - I am very happy:) Also have a robust powertrain warranty & extended warranty. Finally, the torque vectoring RDU is not...

Maybe the 1% is just a random sample for Ford to analyze? If only 1% of the 1% sample is defective - Ford might be able to negotiate with NHTSA to avoid a total recall for all of us.

C’mon Darryl, a 1% failure rate on a critical safety item is catastrophic - both according to Ford QC and the NHTSA. Half a percent would cause a recall in this situation. Ford is saying “don’t drive it - we’ll come tow it” for a reason. I do find it very interesting that they can identify...

AI info fyi… “In the Ford Maverick (2022+ models, sharing the platform with the Bronco Sport/Escape), the front lower ball joints are integrated into the lower control arm as a single assembly. motortrend.com amazon.com This is a common modern design for cost, weight, and durability reasons...

Tremors (and Lobos) have different suspension bits compared to other models. Not sure about the Bronco Sports. I think all models use the same ball joint & control arms though? Anyway, CB - stay off high speed roads or twisty canyon roads until fixed!?! Edit…my lobo has recall 26C10 - but I...

Yes, the Recall System works great. Practice makes perfect I suppose.

Hopefully the Maverick Hybrid will have a better reliability record than the Escape Hybrid. Not a great vehicle to compare your Maverick Hybrid to! I dislike being negative - so I will stop. Like I said, respect to anyone who takes their Maverick to 200,000 plus. Even more respect to the...

Look, I love my Maverick and would buy again happily. But seriously - anyone expecting to drive past 200,000 miles will be running a gauntlet yikes. Respect to those folks!

The subset has grown larger with the latest “stop drive” recall. Wonder if you’re on the recall list?

Yep - Hybrid owners on this forum swear 95% of the Maverick Hybrids will last 200,000 plus miles. They crack me up to be honest:)

Drove a 2004 Pontiac/Toyota Vibe/Matrix that was built in Fremont CA as a joint venture. 229,000 with nothing but scheduled maintenance and tires/wipers/etc. Takata airbag recall of course. At trade in - GMC sales man bought it himself for his daughter after dealer low ball offer. Also drove a...

Maybe the “Quick Shift 7 Speed” transmissions in our Lobos are not as fuel efficient as the regular 8 speed? Same EPA estimates though. I also drive like an old man because I am one. Although I keep it in Sport and use the paddles. 20mpg now after 2,000 miles. Was lower during break in iirc.

Plant is in Hermosillo. But the defect could come from Ford Service Depts following incorrect instructions for certain warranty work. Still don’t know the cause….
