If the Mav didn't have the Hybrid I wouldn't have purchased it. I had a F-150 3.5EB with a 36 gallon tank. I went from avg of $300 a month for fuel to an avg of $140. The cost of oil change are about the same. As far as the cost of maintenance between the F150 and the Mav. I'm going say...
Before Friday I would have said I would purchase another Maverick. Now after driving in my son's '25 Bronco Sport. Which felt roomier pax wise. Felt all around "bigger" maybe its because this was my first time in the new Bronco's. I like it slightly better than my Maverick. The only reason...
My wife is having the same issue. My local dealership refuse to look at it since we didn't purchase it there. The week prior they had no issue with an oil change and two new tires...
I can say with full confidence that I’m very easy to work with and always aim to maintain a respectful, collaborative approach. The only time I dig my heels in is when it’s truly warranted—when something’s done that justifiably calls for it.
I understand that water intrusion caused by debris...
The price increase sucks that for sure. Unfortunately, the price will never go back down as we will be accustom to the price. Unless they model themselves like Arizona Tea :)
I've been turning wrenches for nearly 40 years—very mechanically inclined and solid when it comes to troubleshooting. But since the vehicle's under warranty, I didn’t dig too deeply into it. Out of professional courtesy, I always let the techs at the shop do their thing without stepping on toes...
An update.
At the last minute, the second dealership told me I needed to take the truck back to the original dealer where I purchased it. That meant yet another call to Ford—this time, to request a buyback. Unfortunately, they informed me that it would be denied since the vehicle hasn’t been in...
If they change Service Managers, I’ll reconsider. But as things stand, I won’t be taking my Maverick—or my wife’s—there for service. When my son moves back to the area (he bought a 2025 Bronco Sport while in Georgia), I’ll also recommend he choose a different dealership for his service needs.
Ford and the State of MA says differently
I never asked anyone to bend over backwards for me, as I mentioned in another post. I simply asked for a time—next month, the month after, whenever—to bring the Maverick in, understanding the tech was overwhelmed. A basic scheduling request.
Odd...
I like that door protector. Where you get it?
I would like to update my B&O. As I'm getting older my motivation to actually do it is fading. With my F-150 I built all the harnesses to make the upgrade plug and play. I had an amp, dsp-408, and upgraded speakers.
I'm not going take my vehicles back there. Even though it's a huge PITA going to another dealership, especially if I need oil change. I know I can change my oil myself, but I wrench all day and really don't want to wrench when I'm home ;), even though it's 1/2 hour or so. Plus, the honey due...
Fortunately, I have a few other dealerships relatively close by—if that weren’t the case, I’d really be in a tough spot.
Being denied service, especially for a warranty issue, is just unacceptable. In over 37 years of owning vehicles, I’ve never once experienced anything like this.
I can tell you that I nor my wife was rude or impolite to the dealership. We asked for an appointment to have the leaked looked at. We were told that since we didn't purchased it from them that they will not look at it. The first person I spoke to after the wife was told they wouldn't take it...
Yup. They said that it was their corporate policy and they don't care what Ford has to say. I ended up filing a complaint with MA consumer affairs. I'm not expecting it to do anything, but it made me feel better.
