  1. Airbag replacement problems

    Wow GreenLady! That's a nightmare. I took my hybrid in for a deep sleep issue and picked it up same afternoon. I had no idea they completed the side airbag recall until I received my mug about a week later. Yes there were some fingerprints once I looked around but other than that, no damage. So...
  2. I Found A Better, More Convenient Place To Mount Cell Phone Besides Cubby

    Here you go. I got this from Wally World it was around $20 I think. Sticky suction holds fast and swivels. Magnetic disk on the back of the phone (included) also holds fast. Simple is good.
  3. I Found A Better, More Convenient Place To Mount Cell Phone Besides Cubby

    I found a small suction cup mount that holds nicely just to the right of the cubby on the angled surface. I use it almost exclusively for navigation. It's quite convenient and it's no more of a distraction than looking at the main screen for information. Same height.
  4. ⚠️ Recall 23S27 & Delivery Hold on 2.5L Maverick Hybrids for Under Hood Fire (Notice Date 5/31/23)

    I can say with confidence they cannot hold your vehicle hostage over a recall for which there is apparently no known cause nor remedy.
  5. 12V Parasitic Drain - could it really be this easy? Service managers say "Lock your truck"

    You have to somehow lead the dealer toward replacing the 12V battery. That has solved my problem on two occasions 5000 miles apart. A battery can test good one time and fail the next so the testing has to be performed multiple times. The voltage threshold for certain systems is very narrow. I...
  6. Eight months have passed and still no Maverick.

    I ordered my '22 XLT in July of '21 and took delivery the following April. A total of 9 months and 6 days to be exact. Sounds like not much has changed but if it means anything I would tell you it was worth the wait. It's a pretty hot ticket apparently. Anticipation is half of the experience, in...
  7. Upgraded sound for non B-O system

    I'm not getting in the middle of that but I would like to say I appreciate anyone posting sound upgrade projects. I've been thinking about it for some time but it's just not my area of expertise. I'm not sure what I'm going to do but links to products that fit is a good start. I was looking at a...
  8. Tailgate cables too long anybody else?

    Thanks, I'm a little late to the party on this one it seems. But now it's really bugging me.
  9. Tailgate cables too long anybody else?

    I have tried twisting the cables but the turns required caused them to get hung up when closing the gate. That is not a solution.
  10. Tailgate cables too long anybody else?

    I'm assuming it was like this from the factory but I only recently noticed it. The drop off measures 1.25 inches. It doesn't sound like much but I think it could present an issue at some point with certain cargo. I mentioned it to the dealer when I had it in for the battery replacement but it...
  11. Dome light doesn't come on when I open the door after truck has sat a day or two

    It's odd that you didn't receive a FP notification. But it's likely you have a bad 12v battery IMO because it happened to me twice. Have the dealer test it over several hours, it will likely fail at least once during that time. It's the best outcome you can hope for.
  12. Hybrid Battery Drain issue?

    '22 XLT Lux build date Feb. Sleep mode issue started at around 6K miles. Ford pass connectivity was the only function affected. Dealer replaced the battery with OEM and all was good until....6K miles later as in this past week the same issue recurred. The dealer tested it throughout the day and...
  13. [UPDATE 3/22/22] Dead Hybrid Maverick at 1 month old after getting "Deep Sleep Mode" messages. [Possibly fixed by software update.]

    I have been dealing with intermittent deep sleep mode interrupting app connectivity for several months. Bad battery replaced a few months after delivery last year and that resolved the same issue back then. It has now returned less than a year later. I checked the battery voltage at the...
  14. My Exhaust was Stolen off of my Hybrid.

    I recently spoke with service at my local dealership about this very issue. I asked him how many cat converters on the Mav. He wasn't really sure if it was just one or possibly two. The schematics were not very clear apparently. But, he did say the one for sure is located in a tight spot up...
  15. New Maverick Recall: 2.5 Hybrid Engine Fire Hazard [Updated w/ Safety Recall Notice to Dealers]

    This only applies to the 2.5L Atkinson hybrid. It does not address any potential engine failure prevention strategies which of course has to initially take place. Who cares? When is the last time you've ever heard of such an engine failure in anything that had its oil changed in the last year or...
  16. Jaws of Life demonstrated on Maverick

    Awesome. Anatomy of a Mav.
  17. Why Is The Maverick So Cool? My Take.

    We can all speculate on the future success of the Maverick. From the razor thin profit margin Ford has created, to the niche target group it seems to be aimed for. But it sure looks to me, at this particular moment in this particular environment; Ford's timing just couldn't be any better. And if...
  18. New Ford email: Co-Pilot36 package, XLT Luxury package, and Lariat Luxury package face strongest constraints

    I fully appreciate and understand the frustration that many customers are experiencing, believe me! I waited 9 months and 6 days before finally taking delivery a few days ago of my XLT hybrid LUX with CP360. And I wouldn't have ever changed a thing. It has been totally worth it but I have also...
  19. My Real World Hybrid MPG

    Taken directly from the owner's manual: "FUEL QUALITY SELECTING THE CORRECT FUEL E161513 Your vehicle operates on regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87." However it does go on to say: "For best overall vehicle and engine performance, premium fuel with an...
  20. Why Is The Maverick So Cool? My Take.

    Whoops, my mistake. I was of course referring to the 2.0 ecoboost in the post, not the 2.5. Just had to post something about something as my hybrid has reached "paired" status on the rail. That should mean "dispatched" is only a few days to a week away followed by you got it......delivered! It's...
