In their defense, while they are the only ones to supply the parts for repair/sale, most parts come from outside suppliers. When looking at the notes in their internal system for any reasons provided for delay or an ETA on availability it is often noted the supplier cannot get materials or is...

It looks sharp in that green, but I can venture to say that some people will have the same difficulty choosing it as they did with the Chili Pepper Red; it just doesn't look right with a blue interior. I just cannot get used to that revised front end. They easily could have done better.

I wish I could go into detail about why it is not just the complexity of vehicles which make them more difficult to repair; there's a lot of policies and practices at some dealerships that are either wrong or just non-existent which makes them little more than circuses with a fixed roof. At...

Sorry to hear this is happening. Had all applicable recalls performed on mine and have not had a single issue. The question that should be getting asked is whether or not your vehicle has another issue which is not something that these recalls are designed to address. I believe this could...

My issue is with my right knee. I'm about the same height, but my left leg is fine, it's my right knee that rests right into the corner of the dash, it gets quite uncomfortable too. My concern is that in the event of a crash my knee is going to get broken as it hits right in the spot between...

I've said it a couple times already, they should have used the new F150 for inspiration on the update of the Maverick. I too am wondering what the .... they were thinking with this restyle.

Well, it seems like someone at Ford doesn't have their head up their..... That's a great move! Send them to the dealerships with the bugs worked out of them so the customer can actually use their vehicles without having the need to make multiple trips back for recalls and other repairs. This...

Off hand I do not have the document, but it has been well discussed by the service department and our warranty administrator that if you have a Ford service agreement, it only covers semi-synthetic oil on services and the customer can pay the difference if they chose, using semi-synthetic oil...

Thanks for correcting me on the TSB situation. I'd also like to add, as a one-time service writer, it is of utmost importance to ask questions, when does this happen, get very detailed with the customer; but unfortunately, now that customer service reps handle scheduling - and most know nothing...

I'd say the dealership should be an issue. Not that where I'm at is lightning fast on some repairs, but I've never heard of an oil change taking 4 hours. That's ridiculous, not to mention putting the wrong oil in it twice..... But there is something to add here. If they installed 5W20 into...

Hybrids have had this issue, and we've done them on at least two hybrids in our service department. I believe there might be a TSB on this issue.

The same is true with nearly every vehicle manufacturer. Whether it's VW, Chevy, Ford, BMW, or even Toyota: It's all the same. I could tell you stories about my time at Toyota, I worked for two different dealerships and their recall and TSBs were on par with Ford. A coworker was regretting his...

You mean to look for TSBs. Each and every time a vehicle comes with such issues the technician working on it should be checking for TSBs. They've tried drilling this into the heads of our techs and only a few seem to have jumped on board and saved themselves needless time guessing or...

I thought about a Panda puck, but with commuting as much as I do, the ability to really play with it tends to be limited. I have however surprised a few people with how fast a stock Maverick can launch and accelerate at speed. I can't imagine how one with some real mods and tuning can run.

Very much the same thing here in the Buffalo area. For some time it was rare to see more than one or two a week, but there's days I pass by a couple just commuting to/from work.

This is perhaps one of the most attractive modifications I've seen on a Maverick. Far better than the factory foam covers, and it adds a tougher look to the engine bay, too.

Perhaps you cannot entirely fault them in such a case, not knowing what staff remaining had knowledge of your order and what records were actually able to be sorted out. That said, I'm sure that any special ordered vehicle from Ford came to them with some way of tracking the individual who...

Well, if there was no deposit, there's always the question of what their obligation is to the potential sale of the truck. That said, if you have one, I'd say depending on your state's policies, you may at least have the grounds to file a complaint with the state. Either way if means nothing...

Unfortunately, Ford makes it sound like you are "their" customer in advertising, but you are not. You're at the mercy of the dealership who made the deal with you to order a vehicle. You may have some responsibility by having kept on their butt about your order so they knew you were waiting on...

Fortunately, you were able to walk away, too many people don't. I don't know why it is some people think they can get away without having insurance; it's those very people who often need it the most. It's a shame that more isn't done to get these people off the road since they don't want to...
