Until their tech has received completed Factory training in March, they don't feel comfortable working on hybrids. If it is just a matter of following a flow chart, anybody could do it. You should obviously know there is more to it than that....especially on new equipment. It sounds like you...

So what? I am a current airframe and powerplant mechnic. I've been one for for the past 40 years. If you give me the current and calibrated tools and the reference materials I can also walk into a dealership and work on a hybrid. That isn't the point. The dealership said that they don't have...

Read the entire post. They don't have a trained technician till March. We pound the dealerships concerning honesty, and then complain about them when they are honest. So they could have worked on it figuring it out as they go and screwed it up, resulting in down time of who knows when. They...

My commute car is a 2017 Ford Focus, that I drive 110 miles round trip, daily. A couple of years back a truck I was passing hit a wild hog. The hog after impact with the truck went into my lane, and slid under the car on the right side between front and rear wheels. I pulled over expecting a...

At one of your early tire rotations change out your two piece lug nuts for one piece nuts.

Thanks, I sincerely hope you get the Maverick straightened out. I feel the same about the Santa Cruz..

Why do you still own it? With its value right now, why keep it? Wouldn't it be better to be rid of it now while the value is high? Just trying to understand the logic involved.

I commute 110 miles a day in a 2017 Ford Focus. When I bought that car, many told me that I would regret because of the transmission. Now there were many, many issues with the earlier Focus transmissions, and admittedly they were pieces of crap. Ford kept working on them and finally got them to...

Can't compare two different models 21 years apart. They aren't the same. Especially if one is body on frame and the other is a unibody. Do you expect the build quality to be the same on a 2022 Super duty Platinum vs a 2022 Maverick? I surely don't. Entry level vehicle, compared to upper part of...

That is being said because it is true. The persons who have taken delivery and those of us still waiting, have gotten or are waiting for an entry level vehicle. This is the most inexpensive vehicle that Ford makes. "Things" have to happen to produce it at the price point that it starts at. I...

Well....until it is titled with your name, it really isn't your Maverick, no matter how hard you try to rationalize your actions. Once you buy it, do as you wish

he entered the car wash in "D", applied brakes, came to a stop and put XMSN in "N". Usually there is no lockout to go from "N" to "D", or from "D" to "N".

Well I don't think that Ford will be asking for a VIN and the nearest dealer concerning this issue. Also the title of thread is incorrect because the dial shifter didn't cause an accident in a car wash.

I bought a Focus (Maverick will be replacing this vehicle) in 2017. I purchased a Ford ESP from Flood within a week of the purchase. I find interesting that sales guy would say that he called the Flood Ford website and was connected to Ford Corporate, didn't work that way when I talked to Flood...

Flood Ford sells the Ford Premium Care ESP, price for 7 years / 100,000 miles with a $200.00 deductible is $1160.00. (edited I had entered $960 the first time)

Not a better deal if paying $38.00 a month for 84 months. 74 X $38.00 = $3192. You can get Ford ESP for a better price than that.

That is why I haven't ever financed the Ford ESP. Just buy it out right and be done.

I will end up getting it. I have a Ford ESP on my current commuter now. I drive 110 miles daily. I enjoy the piece of mind knowing that I don't have to worry about paying for unforecast maintenance events. I've just prepaid them! I've been a helicopter mechanic for the past 40 years so I don't...

I only carry one ebike. The link below is the hitch carrier that I use on my F150 and will use on my Maverick. Weight capacity is listed as 130lbs. I would suggest removing both of your batteries. Weigh them and that should bring you under the 130lbs capacity. Carry the batteries in the truck...

The problem when they swell is the inability to get the wrench to fit them. This has been a Ford issue for at least 13 years, probably over 15. Had dealer tech tell me to ditch them on my F150 in 2010, 3 new Fords since then, replaced on each one at first rotation. Co-worker didn't do them on a...
