I keep cars for a decade. Most people don't trade in a 2024 for a 2025.

Ford had a huge safety recall and fine for other cameras from other models. he probably was just confused. I do think they will end up having to replace hardware for ours too. if it was software i think they would already have a solution.

It is not just Ford, all car manufactures are facing a slew of recalls even the once always reliable Toyota has tons. The more complicated they make cars, the more that can go wrong.

did you report the axles to NHTSA? If not please do. The more people who report it the better chance of Ford being forced to issue a recall.

I think the most likely scenario is Ford assumed or hoped they could fix it with a software fix and now they realize they can't. I am also not sure the government cares how it is fixed as long as it is fixed, especially now that it is under a stop sale. Also hardware problems can cause memory...

My Maverick was the first car i ever had with a backup camera. took me awhile to get used to it, but now i prefer it.

It does not take months to fix code though. It is costing them a lot of money and I am not sure they would risk a stop sell if it was just coding. I would be willing to bet they are not only exploring a software fix, but also a hardware fix. They also have known about this problem way before...

That is my hope, even though I don't want to have to deal with my dash being taken apart. I think Ford is not being upfront about if a fix is even realistic. Software updates only work if the hardware is capable of running the update. If my home pc is lagging and running slow and it is a...

If this is just a software issue they should have come up with a solution between now and September. This seems like a hardware issue in my opinion. Cheap infotainment components, not enough computing power or memory to handle the camera correctly. Ford is losing a lot of money, I can't imagine...

Have you reported this to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration?

I have my doubts that a software update will fix the problem since it has been a known issue for months and they have not come up with a solution yet. It seems like they cheaped out on hardware. Maybe I'm wrong, but the solution might end up being upgraded hardware.

I'm getting a lifetime average of 24 mpg. Mostly city driving, but the occasional long road trip a few times a year. the road trips are usually around 30 depending on how fast I'm driving.

I disagree about safety. The NHTSA also has recalled other vehicles in the past for bad CV joints.

It depends on if the NHTSA gets involved or not. If it is deemed unsafe to drive then it will be required to be recalled.

If you have CV issues or have had CV issues it is very important that it is reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at NHTSA.gov . If Ford does not do a voluntary recall the NHTSA can force them if enough complaints are made.

I loved my Mazda Tribute. Great car and mine was a V6 too. it was having major problems though and had nearly 300k miles. i got like $700 trade in lol. Got the 2023 Ford Maverick AWD Eco in August of 2023 and it is by far my favorite vehicle ever. I have almost no complaints about the Maverick...

2005 Mazda Tribute which is same exact car as the Ford Escape just with Mazda logos.

these engines are great, they have been around long before the Maverick and there is no problem with acceleration.

I pay $20 a month so I'm always trying to find new ways to use it. I often copy and paste news articles to get a 1 paragraph summary too.

yep AI is crazy. It is getting smarter. This is the paid version chatGPT4o. I use it at work all the time. it took me less than 30 seconds to have it create the 1 paragraph summary.
