All I am saying is that the batteries are not wearing out early on the cars that don't have the battery drain. I know what your theory says. And I understand. But I'm telling you what is not happening on the ground. Every battery that is failing prematurely also has a drain. On everyone where...

Google maps just did a recent update. That may be causing an issue. We have not had any customers complaining about the sync 4 system either before or after updates thus far. But, if the problem persists, I do recommend taking it in to get it checked out.

Everybody is just over analyzing this thing. Solve the battery drain. Solve the problem. What's that problem is solved, reset the battery monitor, and drive the daggum thing and enjoy the trouble free life. Again at the risk of sounding like a broken record., if anyone is having problems with...

If a battery last as long or longer than the comparable non hybrid counterparts , and the replacement costs are comparable , why the special attention to their replacement costs? Not only that, but y the time these vehicles get old, there should be a decent supply of used and reconditioned...

The Maverick is mechanically an evolution of the hybrid system Ford has been using in the escape and fusion for YEARS. It has a BETTER battery temperature management system. If the escape and fusion hybrid batteries lasted for 250,000+ miles, why wouldn't the Maverick especially since the...

Can you imagine buying gasoline at today's prices for vehicles that got yesterday's fuel economy? And can you imagine how much more expensive gasoline would be if the demand was based on vehicles getting the low double digits? I don't want to even imagine that thought. I remember my sister's...

It's strange that people act as if the Maverick hybrid is a completely new vehicle mechanically. But Ford has been making hybrids since around 2008 or so. They had a couple of years where they had a bad internal bearing. But it wasn't an inherent design flaw. And it was corrected. The Maverick...

I think the EcoBoost is likely to need a transmission before the hybrid needs a battery or perhaps the same time . The hybrid battery commonly lasts over 200,000 miles. I'm guessing the 6 speed will last about the same. Both could last longer. But I imagine the replacement costs could be close...

At today's fuel prices in mixed driving it would take around 17,000 miles. I got my money's worth in less than 6 months.

Sync 4 starting in 2025 for the Maverick allows for more OTA updates. Even the trailer module recall is being rolled out over the air. Ford tells us to update it if it comes into the shop . But don't proactively call the customer to have it done until AFTER October. By then every vehicle should...

SSM 54785. And if it's a 2023 or older have them perform SSM 52307 which updates the TCU

The latest SSM for the battery drain issue is 54785. The SSM number may change if they add another detail. But as of today that's the latest. Also DEFINITELY tell them to do a battery test , a full recharge (if a New battery is not been recently installed and then doing a BMS reset. You should...

I have nothing to do with Ford warranty policy. I simply suggest things that I feel will help a person get their vehicle working properly. There are a lot of things that I wish for would do differently as far as their warranty and other things as well as how they pay us as technicians for...

Minimal. But in all reality Ford says that when everything is working properly, the vehicle should be able to sit a MINIMUM of 10 days before going into sleep or battery protection mode and should be able to last AT LEAST 30 days after that. If going out of town or letting it sit for extended...

Well, it does not matter if you had every recall done or not, unless you had the ACCM updated, then nothing that they did would have affected the battery issue. The most recent update involves the ACCM and the Abs. Modules being done simultaneously. Unfortunately, most dealerships probably don't...

I'll guarantee that when a solution is found, there will be people who never get it because their dealerships techs don't stay current or they will argue with a Ford tech that tells them Ford has a solution (a new software update) that works for the vast majority of vehicles and tell him that...

The While not equal , the 0-60 gap narrowed noticably between 2024 and earlier vs 2025 +. The EcoBoost main advantage is the higher speed acceleration such as passing when already at near highway speeds.
