  1. Ford Energy is providing large scale battery energy storage

    I’m amused that Ford can’t solve the deep sleep hybrid battery problem but they’re able to provide mega energy storage.
  2. Connected services no longer disabled.

    I have complained a lot about the connected services being disabled. Going on two months now, I haven’t had any notices of low battery, or services disabled. I haven’t changed anything so I guess Ford corrected something. However: on the Ford app , where it says-ā€œDriving...
  3. The 12 volt battery saga continues (Deep Sleep)

    I’ve had my ā€˜24 Mav hybrid for about a year now. I’ve posted some complaints about the ā€œremote services disabledā€ battery notifications that came regularly. (I’m retired so I don’t drive every day.) In April I went away for 6 days leaving a battery tender on the Mav battery. I returned...
  4. Effect on full EV Maverick possibilities..........??

    My friend bought a PHEV Escape. It’s very similar to my ā€˜24 Maverick hybrid. He just opens the door on the fender and plugs it in to charge it. Whereas I’m supposed to open the rear door, lift the seat, connect the battery charger , THEN plug in the extension cord to charge my 12v. battery to...
  5. Deep Sleep temporary fix using trickle charger

    It’s satisfying to read this post. We are a bunch of chumps to be charging the battery of a new vehicle. I’m not charging my battery. When the truck doesn’t start I’m going to call the nearest Ford store and tell them my truck won’t start. We should all do that...
  6. What's your "One" Pet Peeve

    ā€˜24 XLT carbonized gray lux. Hybrid. I’m annoyed by the frequent ā€œ remote features disabled ā€œnotifications. And on sunny days, the glare from the hood where it’s dished out and the glare from the bottom of the steering wheel. And the easily scratched plastic.
  7. FINALLY!! An upcoming 12v battery fix for hybrids!!!

    I have the ā€˜24 hybrid XLT. I previously posted :ā€Why should I charge my battery ā€œ? I’m doubling down on that question. It’s not my problem Ford didn’t tell me I’d have to charge the battery if I didn’t drive the truck every day. It’s gonna get cold here in Illinois. When my truck doesn’t start...
  8. Flat Tire Surprise

    I checked my ā€˜24 XLT wheels. They loosened at 95 ft lbs.
  9. Factory Continental Tires not well regarded?

    I was a member of the (Ford)Focus Fanatics. We all complained about the Continentals wearing out at the same time the warranty ended . (35k miles) Nothings changed.
  10. Why should I charge my 12v battery?

    I received 3 notifications that my remote features were disabled on my ā€˜24 hybrid. This is during the 4 months that I’ve owned the truck. I had some concern about the notices but everything seemed to normalize itself by just driving the truck.Today I got the notification again. My mileage is...
  11. Goodbye Maverick after 125k Miles

    My wife’s ā€˜16 Crosstrek doesn’t have blind spot mirrors. That’s the only thing I don’t like about it. I stuck an ugly spot mirror on the passenger mirror after a close call. My ā€˜12 Focus had excellent blind spot mirrors. I got all the safety options on the ā€˜24 Maverick.
  12. Spare tire and cat converter theft worries.

    Wife and I were on the bike trail and I got to worrying about the Mav parked in the trail access. Later, started searching for cat covers and full size spare locks but didn’t find much. Got any thoughts?
  13. Mystery switches.

    G It sounds like I have a lot to look forward to. I traded in a 2012 Focus S towards the Mav. In 12 years the Focus was trouble free.
  14. Mystery switches.

    Why does my ā€˜24 XLT hybrid have ( or not have)switches that aren’t in the manual or quick reference guide? The console switch on the right in the photo? It’s not in the symbol index. And the auto start- stop shut off switch? I read about it in the manual, I know what it looks like. But it...
  15. My salesman asked for a better rating.

    After an 8 month wait I got my Maverick. I’ve had it for 9 days. I really like it. Today my salesman calls and asks if I can re-do the dealer survey because I only rated them 3 out of 5. Apparently his pay is based on my praise of the dealer so yeah, I CAN rate them 5 because he is a nice guy...
