From what I am reading on the forums here is that it is unique to the hybrid model. Ford lists it as aux heater assy (18K463). It is only covered under 3/36 and only used on hybrids. It is not on the list for "8/100 Warranty for Unique Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Components".

The exhaust heat exchanger failing should be a concern for everyone owning the hybrid. I can see this eventually failing for many, most likely right after warranty expires of course. The big deal is the fact that the exchanger is an integral part of the exhaust system and the only way to replace...

It's a car, that looks like a truck. That's why.

Perhaps someday you will be fortunate enough to be an "old fart" as opposed to a jealous young whipper snapper. Now get off my lawn.

Actually a very large part of higher costs are everyone getting raises and outright greed.

Simple reason, no competition........yet.

Until they are not.

66 years old here, never made a ton of money. However I worked hard, and saved from a young age. As much as I could. I always listened to my father when he told me to "always live below your means". That has allowed me to retire very comfortably with zero debt and know that I will be able to...

Since we all know that businesses never absorb the cost of material and wage increases, what will this do to the sticker price of a new Ford? “The agreement grants 25% in base wage increases through April 2028, and will cumulatively raise the top wage by over 30% to more than $40 an hour, and...

Yes, gone for good. I sold the Maverick!

Agreed. It always made sense to me that a tonneau cover would benefit air flow and thus better mpg. Perhaps this will quiet the naysayers.

I guess it is because it is like watching a train wreck, you can't not see it but it is comforting to know you were lucky enough to get off at the stop before it happened unscathed. Enjoy your ride.

Glad I dumped mine. Never seen so many recalls or lack of proper resolves.

Yes, due to Ford jacking up starting prices, I no longer consider it "cheap".

My point is that Ford decided it was cheaper to ignore the possibility of exploding gas tanks than fix the design problem preemptively. Bean counters won. They'll do the same thing here. So yes, a similar situation. Since you are so young and never heard of the Pinto...

Perhaps you should read up on Ford's Pinto fiasco.

I'm not here to agree or disagree about this. Simply posted for those interested in reading. https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2023/08/10/lawsuit-ford-hybrid-escape-maverick-lincoln-corsair-fire/70559535007/

Sticker to Sticker comparison: My 2022 Hybrid XLT with $100 hitch receiver=$23,875.00 2024 Hybrid XLT with nothing extra=$29,410.00

It is still going to be a matter of supply and demand and buyers wanting the hybrid over the Ecoboost mainly because of MPG. Here is a letter from a dealer I talked to who clearly states that they will not have ANY allotments for the hybrid. There will definitely be a market to make money...

I don't see that being a problem. https://www.carvana.com/cars/ford-maverick
