You are not alone. I too constantly get messages and queries on my Ford Maverick Hybrid Lariat. I will start taking pictures. Although there is a lot of different ones. One is Constantly asking me if my user behavior data can be accessed . Seems like once is enough. Of course NO is the answer.🤓
Another CarPlay issue. This one seems to be shared by IPhone. Just took a one hour trip to Land O Lakes Brewing Supply store. CarPlay worked fine. Finished up and went to popular barbecue place for lunch. Inadvertently left my phone still connected in truck. On return trip home CarPlay would not...
I feel your pain, mine’s the same.
There , as has been mentioned, a known Hybrid battery issue/sleep mode problem and a related recall now. This long term problem and associated fixes should be known by the dealerships, but this alienation between Ford corporate and dealerships is a thing...
So why are dealerships not installing aftermarket adaptive cruise control. It’s available. Because service departments can only do fluid changes and typical front in maintenance ONLY! Sad☹️🤓
Yes ACC can be installed as an aftermarket product by Ford, but few will acknowledge this expensive alternative. $2,500.
Also available as kits for install. Just Google for further info. 2024 purchase seems to be a better alternative for the long interval install is involved and froth with...
Reference my previous posts. Sadly I experienced the same thing. I actually requested ACC before purchase. Told it was included in the loaded lariat. It took me awhile, as you, until I realized ACC not included. Salespeople and other staff thought it was included. Deceived by the nature of...
🤓 Update: Dealership did not honor price, parts took forever to show up and service department did not sound confident they could install ACC, at $2,500 dollars. I be screwed.
🤓 Don’t discount the most common failure points. HARDWARE! Cables, connection points and similar issues behind the dashboard. Just discovered that my IPhone lighting port was full of dirt via a toothpick cleaning effort. At same time noticed USB truck side connection intermittent via a...
🤓 I routinely have had CarPlay utilization problems. Physical connection is a continual problem in different ways. Phone connection dirty, cable problems, some users mentioned behind dash adapter issue, background running apps on phone can cause user and CarPlay problems, cell data loss caused...
🤓 Thanks for all the comments to this blog. Very interesting. My Maverick was running just a little rough today while at traffic light. I tried to rev engine in neutral because the Camry I just traded in (not a hybrid) stalled in slow traffic and a few times at traffic light. Of course nothing...
🤓 I was sold a product that was touted as something it wasn’t. Never provided a window sticker of product after multiple requests from myself and wife. Resulting sales department negotiated upgrade (ACC install) price not honored by service department. Required parts were supposed to be on hand...
🤓 I too find it frustrating that the recycle air mode is almost unusable. Far to many system configurations turn it off. My personal reason to keep recirculate air mode on is allergies and ambient air on our now over crowed roads are more often than not undesirable. Constantly trying to keep...
🤓 YES, this is my third Hybrid. My past experience amazingly good. Not just good gas mileage, but also lower overall maintenance until I reached well over 100,000 miles where stuff just wears out.
🤓 Look what I got for Christmas! A no slide highly insulated cooler that fits perfectly in the back of my truck 🛻. Now when my wife strands me in parking lot during one of those ONE? ( really many ) stop trip outings that go on forever “ I can pop a cool one ” .
Anybody else get a Christmas...
