Very helpful indeed,:blush: now we know why Mav feels so much more responsive in Sport mode, ICE is always on the ready. I have found Normal to be competent enough to move the Mav very nicely. Eco Mode is OK as well, If you use EV coach, in this mode, you may learn driving strategies for...

I was always told that with these E-Brakes, we should always have our foot on brake before applying or releasing. I have been using E-brakes since 2016 on my Mazda with no problems. The routine I use is to apply foot brake to full stop then with foot still applying brake, set E-brake. Then...

On the Power Flow App. we are informed that we are in a condition of Hybrid, or Electric, or Regenerative breaking. When we need heat in the cabin, we are informed of this, and naturally it tells us that ICE is running due to drive the wheels. I understand all of that I do not understand...

Yes, my wife bought a green 2 dr. V-8 several years old, she said it was like a memory of the cars she drove in the old days. I don't know how she managed to drive it, there was no power steering, a real stiff clutch pedal and what I believe was a Hurst 3 speed shifter on the floor (which may...

Yes, they did and suggested that if I should go for a battery tender, that it needs to be compatible with the AGM battery.

Dealership techs worked on my truck for 2 days, consulting with Ford's engineers. They say it is fixed now. A new and different type of battery was put in to replace the battery which came into the shop supplying only 11.2 volts. Service advisor provided me a "Battery load shed" priority...

I am not getting any messaging that I'm aware of at this point but similar behavior: There are no overhead lights upon opening the door, however they come on when shutting down. The lights on the dash board do not come on either until button is pushed. The other thing that is not working is...

According to the Notice, if wiper motor needs to be replaced but the part is not available, Ford is not issuing a "stop driving recommendation" so long as wiper motor is working. In the case of a motor already in failure, owner would be offered free rental. My dealer is looking at mine next...

Two weeks ago I got a notice about this potential issue. I would like to know, but have not been able to find out from Ford Customer Service or my local Dealership what percentage of these inspections have resulted in these parts needing to be replaced. The way I read Recall Notice it...

Happened to my order as well and we did not realize that until about a month or so after delivery. Most of my driving does not call for Cruise Control of any kind. At some point a couple of months after delivery I was driving one evening back from Saratoga and clicked on the Cruise and then...

Somehow ford division came up with the name Maverick for their new small car in the early 70's, Mercury Division stayed with their Comet which was their version of the Ford Falcon. I had one of those. My first car bought for $150. Very nice 1963 model, 2 door Green with white Roof. Very young...

"Efficiency" . On short trips around here (town and country rolling hills below 60 MPH), I am looking at the % of miles that are ELECTRIC. I do not expect to find a direct relationship with MPG. I am finding similar Data to those numbers posted in this discussion. Yes it is fun.

Your outcomes should get better, in terms of MPG's and % electric miles when you are in more varied driving conditions. Being in Florida you are certainly running A/C just about all the time, however I do not believe that this affects the Hybrid as much as non- hybrid. This, because A/C is...

This is interesting. I had the 2 recalls done last month without any issues. Last week, while I was driving my passenger was trying to navigate on the screen, we came upon this power-flow screen which I had never seen before. (We are both not very tech-strong) This power flow screen is a...

Very satisfied with this hybrid's ability to get up and go. I have not used the SPORT mode very often because it goes about its business very smoothly in the NORMAL mode.

I would say this especially true with these Hybrids. The engine is not working all the time and even when it is working, it is being assisted by electric. I asked my dealer to do my first (complimentary) oil change a bit early (4500). They said it was not necessary but I was more concerned...

Really, I think that the answer to that question is found in my statement. Well If not instinct, :) then it is a learned response for all of us who learned how to drive on standard transmission back in the day.

Yes, thank you, it is low volume and pitch. I would not say it was "clickity-clack" , more like something opening and closing. This morning for example, I heard it almost simultaneously when the driver's door opened up on a 15 degree morning. I do not remember if this same thing happens when...

As I said this happens before startup. What is CEL ?
