  1. 10K Oil Change Interval Confirmed OK via Oil Analysis at 8K miles [Hybrid Maverick]

    Thanks for that, I'm a believer. It's a testimony to the advanced formula of today's modern synthetic lubricants. But it unfortunately will not be sufficient to convince a subgroup of folks who still hold on to the practice of changing it out every 2,000 miles or so. I guess it comes down to...
  2. Wireless charger overheating?

    Oh and I forgot to mention as you already know, any protective case must be removed for wireless current to transfer. What a PITA. One bonus is fuse position 18 in the BCM panel (7.5 A) looks like an attractive tap site for the ACC when hardwiring a dashcam. Since I'm never going to use the...
  3. Wireless charger overheating?

    Yep it's basically useless. So let's remove one of the most functional exterior features on a vehicle which is the keypad and replace it with what is basically a hotplate in the console. Now if it heated up my ham sandwich while on the road I would say great! But alas it only serves to draw who...
  4. Muffler leaking water in hybrid

    Good to know. I should spend more time looking over the underbelly.
  5. Thinking of trading in 22 hybrid for 24

    There was definitely a battery issue with the '22. While I was lucky enough to escape major issues, I did go through three batteries at the expense of the Ford warranty and my time. So far and 600 miles later, the '24 Lariat has been nothing but a pleasure. Good luck with yours going forward CutisB.
  6. Thinking of trading in 22 hybrid for 24

    I took delivery of a 24 Lariat hybrid a month ago. I was able to get back what I paid for the 22 XLT Lux hybrid with 16K miles on a trade and I have no regrets. I am out of the recall hamster wheel and resetting the warranty is piece of mind. I do miss the keypad but I'm slowly getting over it...
  7. Wireless Charging Pad problem

    I took the case off of my Samsung and it started charging right away. Then it quickly turned into a hot plate heating the phone up so much that it stopped charging. So this little (not so cool) feature is probably not going to work out.
  8. Major problems with my 22 Hybrid at 35K miles

    I don't want to split hairs with anybody here but technically the powertrain warranty is 5/60 along with the roadside assist, while the hybrid components are 8/100. At any rate he's still good at 35K but still sucks big time.
  9. I got my uneven tailgate cables warrantied/replaced

    Good for you. I gave up on that cause a year ago. It's a good 2 inch drop from the end of the gate. The service adviser couldn't give two spits about it. It'll soon be their problem though when I trade it in later this month. Along with the outstanding recall.
  10. First Deep Sleep Notification

    All great suggestions here but...I've been dealing with the notorious recurring battery saver mode for about a year and a half and no one has yet to figure out a common denominator. I hear about many dealers testing the battery and saying they are good, yet the problem persists. I hear owners...
  11. Dead hybrid after work today

    Good luck finding a replacement battery, there was a nationwide backorder until recently. They are becoming available but remain scarce, at least in Ohio. I called my dealer today just to check and they have ONE in stock.
  12. Got a message today: Remote features disabled to preserve battery

    Don't even bother taking it to the dealer. They will likely tell you the battery needs replaced but alas, yes there are no batteries today. That T4 series has been on backorder since last I checked.
  13. Why are people complaining?

    I have a complaint: nobody is complaining here. Just seems so unnatural.
  14. Positives

    Love my 22 XLT Hybrid. The minor deep sleep issues have been really, just that. The recalls don't seem to be above average compared to other major auto manufacturers. Great ride, decent performance, 40 mpg average (no lie), more than adequate utility and everyone who has been along for a ride...
  15. SPORT MODE

    It seems like there should be two separate forums for eco and hybrid. The majority of discussions about one has little in common with the other.
  16. Changed oil in 5 minutes--the easy but incomplete way

    "There are no shortcuts to any place worth going" Beverly Sills". Congratulations on saving yourself 20 minutes, or 30 whatever. Just one question: WHY? I paid nearly $28,000 for my XLT, so the very last thing I would do would be to risk developing any issues by circumventing the...
  17. Maverick is now 8.99% from Ford. wtf

    Yep like Grim referred to, the rate is locked in from the date you placed the order. It may not be much better however but worth asking.
  18. Are batteries on backorder? Deep sleep mode

    Correction: nevermind the holiday duh
  19. Are batteries on backorder? Deep sleep mode

    Many threads on this including a new one I started about 5 days ago. Disconnect the negative terminal under the seat and measure voltage. Leave is disconnected overnight and measure again. If it hasn't changed, the battery is likely okay. There may be a module drawing it down and you can check...
