Ford knowingly took too many orders. Yes, because Jim Farley and the ghost of Henry Ford were tabulating each order instantly as they came in, and hatched a plot to take twice as many orders as they could build.

I don't know about the Mav specifically but most newer Ford wiper motors are free moving when engine off - just rotate them up by hand, lift the arms, move them back down when done. When you start the engine they will re-calibrate themselves. If they don't freely move then the method you used...

I work in auto manufacturing and I'm surprised vehicles are still rolling off the lines each day that are able to start up and run, due to the many thousands of supply chain issues faced each day, company-wide. I don't think anyone outside of manufacturing/supply chain industries realize how...

Can't wait to see pics of this with BAP!

What he's saying is, take the speaker apart and disable it from the inside so it looks like a defect, not deliberate.

Were you a member of RAV4 forums throughout this time? If you weren't a member of this forum, and simply placed your order for a Mav, and received an e-mail from Ford every 6 weeks with an update.....it sounds no different than your experience with RAV4. Sounds more like you're dealing with an...

I agree, and I hope we're correct. Interesting comparisons between Build and Price photos of XLT and Lariat BAP equipped vehicles, though..

From Ford's website..clarifies that Lariat models retain body color door handles. The high-res photo on website appears to show glossy black mirror caps, indicating it will receive painted caps, not just black textured plastic like standard models...

It requires different window motor assemblies. The auto up/down motors have sensors in them to determine how far up or down to move the window.

Most assembly lines run 50 to 60 units per hour. Hermosillo builds Bronco Sport as well. Assume they build 25 to 30 Mavericks/hr, assuming a 50/50 split between Mav and BS. While the plant "operates" 24/7, it is most likely on a "3 crew" schedule and doesn't actually run 24 hours, 7 days of...

It is never too late for delays. Vehicle assembly relies on about 100,000 various things falling in to place just right.

It is extremely frustrating that @Ford Motor Company refuses to upload any REAL pictures of a BAP equipped Maverick. It would literally take a total of 30 minutes to contact someone at Hermosillo, request them to take a few photos, then share them. They constantly post pictures of Broncos...

It is absolutely pathetic that Ford can't allocate a minimal amount of repair parts to get stranded/unsafe new vehicles back on the road. Even if allocating these parts means they have to build 10 fewer Mavericks per day, it is worth the trade off in regards to customer service. Ford does not...

I'm about to book a flight to Mexico and sneak into the plant just to see some BAP Mavs. @Ford Motor Company you need to get in touch with your people in Hermosillo and tell them to take a few exterior and interior pics of a BAP Maverick, since FoMoCo refuses to show what one will ACTUALLY...

The supply chain is a disaster and getting worse by the day.

Love it!

To help people dream of ordering a 2024....where they'll again open and close order banks before updating B&P, and will change colors and packages so nobody knows what they're really ordering.

Fleet buyers are customers just like the rest of us.

I'd give my left nut to see some photos of a real one. Ford is really dropping the ball on that.

Take it to the dealer. Sounds like potential valve body issues.
