  1. ⚠️ Recall 23S27 & Delivery Hold on 2.5L Maverick Hybrids for Under Hood Fire (Notice Date 5/31/23)

    Can you provide us some more details? Ex: oil leaking? your mileage? pictures?
  2. Engine shut down while driving

    Did you notice if your power % meter was working? Was the needle on the power side or regen side? At first read sound normal cause the ICE shuts off during de-acceleration or when it's not needed.
  3. Mr Ford. Why is the dash so sticky? Touch it, and your fingers get sticky

    Same thing happened last summer. I sprayed the dash with Meguiar's Ultimate Protectant and hasn't been sticky since. 303 should do the same.
  4. Under hood fire risks:

    Do not worry, take your trip. An engine fire can happen to any vehicle. The chance of happening is extremely low. Like all cars, keep in mind: "if you hear unexpected engine noises, lose power, or see or smell smoke" stop on the side of the road as soon as you can. What's makes it more...
  5. For those who don't like the Hybrid CVTs

    For those of you who didn't get the Hybrid exclusively because it comes with a "CVT" If the Hybrid CVT had: -a set of planetary gears with no belts or pulleys -8yrs / 100k miles warranty -a mode that simulate your Nascar gear shifting needs Would you buy then? **yes.. I'm describing the...
  6. Heat Exchanger Fixed yet?

    The service rep wasn't sure yesterday when I asked him, but I was told at the time of the part order a few months ago, they're waiting on a new version of the heat exchanger assembly and could take awhile. I wonder if there's a way I can tell looking at it.
  7. Heat Exchanger Fixed yet?

    I went in for an oil change yesterday and they said they could change my heat exchanger / exhaust at the same time as the part was in. I no longer have the CEL and confirmed it's changed.
  8. It’s officially a lemon!

    CEL means something needs attention. A blinking CEL means do not drive. It's safe to drive until you have the replacement part.
  9. VIDEO: TSB 23-2060 Hybrid Grabby Brake Problems: Not Fixed!

    Besides the faulty EGR code, did you have any symptoms of a bad EGR? In colder areas, many of us are having the rough idle issue when the ICE is warming up, which is one of the symptoms of a bad EGR. I mentioned the EGR TSB it to my dealer, but they never replaced the EGR.
  10. Let’s try to fix this major hybrid issue together

    I haven't had any rough idle/shake since the quick fix.. And its still winter up here around -9C / 15F this morning. Maybe next winter, issue may re-appear..
  11. Hybrid Owners: Have you had any issues that lead to warranty repairs?

    So far for a 1st year budget hybrid vehicle, its been pretty good! I was expecting bigger issues. Got mine April 22. I now have 15'000 miles. I'm waiting for a heat exchanger/exhaust, dealer assured its drivable. But I'm confused when I see others with a rental for the same issue. I did have...
  12. Let’s try to fix this major hybrid issue together

    I know the damper are the sound we hear, and theyre probably junk. But I dont think replacing it will fix the shaking. It'll just make the shaking more silent? But I'm no mechanic..
  13. Let’s try to fix this major hybrid issue together

    My dealer swapped plugs and adjusted the cams. I've been remote starting all week, no tractor mode idle yet... Not convinced its fixed though, but time will tell. I'm pretty sure Ford will release a TSB eventually.
  14. Clicking sound from timing chain?

    There's 2 different surging issues. The early one had a sulfur smell, red catalytic with the rough idle. TSB 22-2124 which fixed it. But now there's another idle issue. The ticking sound is mostlikely dampers on flywheel, but not sure what is causing it and it will go away once you put it in...
  15. Let’s try to fix this major hybrid issue together

    I'm sure the dampers is the noise we hear, but what is causing the misfire and shake? In TSB 22-2493 for the P0402 code and/or Brake-Grab, they mention to update software and replace the EGR sensor (only if code P0402 is present). I'm no mechanic, but what does the EGR sensor have to do with...
  16. Let’s try to fix this major hybrid issue together

    Keep us updated. I'm getting the same noise once in awhile, no engine light though. I just watch a video of a mechanic who is comparing old Dampers with new Dampers form a Prius. Make sense that's where the rattle is coming from.
  17. I got screwed over, but the dealer is offering me another truck... need advice!

    You're not stuck without a vehicle... Get what you really want. Not what others want you to get.
  18. TSB 22-2493 issued for 2.5L Hybrid Maverick grabby brakes (at or below 6.2 MPH)

    Sounds like you need the update too. Before the update, I could replicate the thunk sound by driving down a steep slope and trying to keep speed as low as possible, keeping slight pressure on the brake pedal. You can feel the brake pedal being firm but it would not slow down the speed, so...
  19. Help talk me into a Maverick?

    I have a FWD Hybrid with Michelin X-Ice. It drives very well in the snow. I'm not worried one bit. I have friends who swear they need AWD, but they keep forgetting its FWD and not a RWD pickup. I have driven both.. If you want a daily with great MPGs, go with Hybrid. If you need to tow more...
  20. to the guy who can't trust Ford Marketing,,,

    I feel bad for him, but then again.. Its still in-transit. Ford can't control that, there's too many factors are involved.
