I Ford's defense, this is a very difficult problem to solve for the following reasons: 1. It's intermittent. 2. Disconnecting the battery in order to connect the testing instruments makes the problem go away in many cases. 3. The vehicle may sit for several hours with no drain, then all of a...

Some people simply are stuck believing that the intervals recommended when they first started driving still apply. I usually don't try too hard to convince them otherwise because they'd end up being the RARE case where an engine failed early for a totally unrelated reason. But they'd swear up...

They evidently haven't seen the SSM it was just released. And some techs haven't read it yet. I usually read them every day or two because I like reading. Anyway. If the modules that are receiving the updates are covered by his esp, the update is covered because technically that's a repair to...

The part that is coded as failing is the ABS module and ACCM (AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL MODULE) the reprogramming should cover the programming if those parts are covered by your Ford ESP. The battery may or may not be covered. But the programming should be.

Very few turbo issues in 2.0 EcoBoost engines unless the Ford intervals were exceeded or if there was a history coolant intrusion. Following Ford's recommended intervals or using the smart oil life monitor does not seem to result in either engine or turbo issues. People never admit to ignoring...

We will do the update if a customer comes in complaining that his battery has drained in the past. It's no skin off our back. If it's under warranty, Ford simply pays, it's not an issue. So any dealership that refuses to perform the update simply is being difficult for no reason. As for the...

It's simply a test on the rotunda tester. The battery is load tested, then fully charged and retested. All this occurs automatically after we enter the battery specifications. It may take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours depending on the state of the battery. Most of the time it's an...

Haven't seen any 2.0 EcoBoost wear out early as far as anything related to lubrication in any applications. So these Maverick engines are just plain reliable even if maintained just at Ford intervals

Yep. So he went to the Maverick Facebook groups and someones YouTube Maverick review video and commented. Got mad at everyone who said that the seats were fine to them

Yep. That guy. I even acknowledged that every person is unique, and he may simply be one of those who find the seat uncomfortable even though most other find them acceptable. He then went on a rant saying that I had not done an official statistically accurate survey. Kinda insulted me and...

I'm inclined to agree. And that takes into account the additional time it takes to turn blue since I'm a Black man. 😂😂😂

I do know that Ford has come up with another update to the AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL MODULE last week on April 15th. I do know that for all except ONE Maverick the previous update along with ensuring that the battery is in good condition and a BMS reset done all at the same time has eliminated...

I believe headlights defaulting to auto is a federally mandated safety issue because Every vehicle that I've seen made in the past few years has that feature. You can manually change the settings. But once the vehicle is shut off. It defaults to auto again.

At least he's not like the guy that complained about the seats everyday and was always About to trade it in 😅. By the way, I believe i saw the seat guy on Facebook, Instagram, and Commenting on YouTube. Got angry with those who said that the seats were ok with them even if they acknowledged that...

Perhaps you had a bad one. I've had mine almost a year. It's serving me well. Our dealership sells them to customers that don't want to spring for the extra expense of the Ford accessory cover. I don't hear any complications. Yes the quality is quite as great as the official Ford . But it's more...

In my opinion it's actually RUDE to post as something of that magnitude and simply go GHOST. If he wasn't going to respond. All he had to do was just take his Maverick back , attempt to retrieve his beloved Silverado, and not involve us. It's not as if we searched him out .

The navigation screen is also the rear camera Screen. That’s safety. It HAS to work all the time. Yes. For example in Florida a few things can trigger the Lemon law. A vehicle being in the shop more than a certain number of days in the first year for 1 problem or combination of problems (not...

They were basically bulletproof. Not remarkable as far as handling and acceleration. But they just ran. The 2.3 /140, 3.3/200, 5.0/302, and even the much maligned 4.2/255 were rock solid engines.

Thankfully, in most of the modern Fords the BOLT is designed to strip before the pan. At our dealership, we replace a decent number of drain plugs especially those that were overtightened by a zealous Walmart or jiffy lube guy. We hardly ever have to replace a pan or install an oversized drain...
