Welcome Dayna and congrats on the new Mav. I drive the Eruption Green also and I get quite a few compliments. I went with 20% tint on the front and they are pretty damn dark. I think the factory rear is something closer to 25%. So 5% means that is the amount of light (known as Visible Light...

Knock out those plastic fins inside the tube and the gas will flow smoothly without any splashback. Find a way to keep it stationary and use a slotted screwdriver and a hammer and they easily break free. The adapter suddenly becomes useful.

It is not a lemon buyback as those vehicles are sent to auction under corporate control and are heavily discounted with a lemon title. For example: my 24 Lariat hybrid with 8K miles was purchased new for $38,000 and some change and Ford paid me back every cent. When I asked my dealer, I was told...

This is a non-collision claim and should be covered under the comprehensive portion of your policy. Check with your insurer but typically the deductibles are much less compared to collision. This of course is assuming you have a full coverage policy. I keep a zero deductible on my comp policy...

To Bob, buyback vehicles are retitled as lemon which drastically reduces the value. They are then sent to auction to be sold as is. In this particular case, if someone knew exactly what the issue is, they could almost steal a really nice Lariat under 8K miles for probably less than $20K. It...

My former 24 Lariat hybrid had persistent battery saver mode notifications. No cause was ever identified and they spent months attempting to find one. The ACCM update did nothing. An AGM battery install likewise made no difference. So I finally threw in the towel and Ford bought it back from me...

I stopped playing around with my battery issue many months ago and made it the dealership's problem. I filed for buyback under the lemon law and Ford cut me a check for the full sticker plus other expenses after a year and a half of driving it. I wish more owners dealing with this issue would do...

No, the engine will not just start on its own unless you leave the ignition on. At some threshold it will enter battery saver mode to preserve charge and all accessory power will be disabled. And it probably won't take very long for that to happen.

Uh oh, there goes another one. Meaning this 12 volt symptom is pervasive and if you're lucky it just means you need a replacement. If not, it could mean weeks in the shop for diagnostics. Hopefully you are still under warranty.

Wow, I have the same model and I don't foresee getting anywhere near that mileage. You must be really adroit at feathering the accelerator and watching your speed. Very impressive indeed.

I recently installed a Gator EFX hard trifold on my '25 Lariat hybrid and the hardware clamps do not interfere with the sliding cargo rails.

No problem on my Samsung. I have no idea what you guys are even talking about.

Nobody ever expected this issue with any of their new hybrid vehicles but alas, the problem is pervasive and appears to continue throughout successive model years. You might get lucky, you might not.

There ya go! Exactly what is now OEM battery on the 2025 hybrids. I sure hope it solves your problems.

Damn straight they will make it right. But only because you're vigilant. Stay on it Brandon.

Thanks Bob, but the problem is they're not fixing anything. The problem keeps lingering because of all of the fantasy solutions. I don't know where the fault lies exactly, but I do know who the victims are. There exists a very well known and established problem with the hybrid and it's being...

It's really great to hear an original Maverick success story. You are one of the lucky ones. But for those of us dealing with the chronic battery saver mode issue, locking the truck and pressing it twice and all of the other things just have nothing to do with the problem. The key fob, if you...

You can insist they install an actual AGM battery. I know first hand it can be done. I also know first hand it will likely do nothing to fix your ailment. Keep good records and build that paper trail.

I have responded to these posts regarding the battery saver mode many times. I have been through the whole process on my 24 Lariat including convincing the dealer to install a FoMoCo AGM (BAGM-H4). They also performed the ACC update and did some other reprogramming and brought in Ford service...

All I can say is good luck. But congratulations on convincing them to install an AGM under warranty. It may not be the remedy for the dreaded battery saver mode you are hoping for however. There are some, such as myself that have been dealing with that issue for quite some time. And currently...
