Normal is the default settings because it's the best balance between performance and economy. I do wish it would also stay in the economy setting if that was the last one used because some do prefer it. But I 100% understand why it would not stay in tow, slippery, or sport mode because those are...

Question: have you had the update performed on the Air compressor control module (ACCM) ? If not,have it done. I'm amazed at the number of people that have not tried that solution that has worked for MOST Mavericks. If that has been tried to no avail, then it's fine to pursue other steps.

Did you have the SSM done where they update the Air compressor control module? (ACCM) , the combination of reprogramming that module, putting a full charge on the battery (especially if it's been discharged repeatedly, and resetting the BLM. This combination has corrected the battery drain issue...

I will. However, although you've been to the dealership twice, I'd insist that they use ALL resources available to them if it's still under warranty. I don't know if you've worked for Ford or not. But they need to contact the Ford hotline and request assistance. They will receive guidance...

If anyone has had their axles replaced after September 2025, they should only have the new axles because the old ones are obsolete and should not be sold anymore. In fact. Any old part numbers should have been sent back to Ford by the parts department. They reimburse the parts department in...

The part number should also be on the repair order. Did thepart number on the repair order match the number on the axle itself? They should match

No need to change modes unless it's just a personal preference. The operating strategy protects the battery under all conditions and will not allow charging outside of safe parameters. By the way, Sport mode does not prevent the battery from charging. It only prevents it from operating in...

Yes it will.

Make sure you have over the air updates enabled. And it's allowed to connect to Wi-Fi. The rest is handled by Ford. Updates will take place as Ford sends them out. Some software recalls are done over the air. If done that way, sometimes it GREATLY shortens the time needed for the dealership to...

My general practice is if no warning notifications come on, all is well. No need to reset anything unless a battery is replaced. If a battery is replaced, reset it. Sometimes nothing unusual will happen if you don't. But sometimes it will. So just reset it if the battery is replaced. Also, If...

I was reading the battery saver strategy yesterday. I don't remember the particular numbers. But they have cutoffs for a running vehicle as well as for a sitting vehicle. And it's on a graduated scale. At certain voltage levels certain components go offline. And at the lowest level it goes into...

Actually, upon further discussion with the field service engineer, it seems as if SOME of these vehicles may already be vehicles that Ford has in its possession or are under special investigation by the engineering team. Some are equipped with a "flight recorder" in an attempt to catch something...

Ford Ford has issued a TSB concerning the 8f35 involving a component that sometimes fails that causes it to lose reverse INTERMITTENTLY. But it's mainly because an intermittent problem would be difficult to diagnose otherwise. I think we've done one or two in a Ford escape. But in general the...

I'll make this (possibly 😅) final comment. If I didn't feel that I could make a cross country trips while stopping only for gas , food, and restroom breaks in a NEW vehicle, I would NOT buy it no matter how inexpensive it was. I could buy any number of used vehicles for limited driving.

if I could have afforded it at the time, I would have gotten A Lariat in eruption Green. So I could have adaptive cruise control. I probably wouldn't have added the Black appearance package. It's nice. But it's overpriced. While it was basically necessary in order the prevent the Oxford White...

Or worse, a cover up or ignoring the issue and bad things happening like Ford with the pinto fuel tank, Toyota with their accelerator sticking, and GM with their faulty ignition switch. Neither situation resulted in as many problems as the reports made it seem. BUT the cover-up was worse than...

Update on the battery drain/deep sleep issue. We’re still dealing with the ONE stubborn case. later today a FIELD SERVICE ENGINEER is scheduled to come by and assit’s with this vehicle. He says that the ACCM update has fixed the vast majority of the trucks. But they have record of 46 ACTIVE...

That's probably because your truck is already locked. If I'm not mistaken, if it's not already locked, you may have to lock it then push the lock button again. Maybe not though. At any rate it won't hurt push the lock twice even if it doesn't have to be I guess

Some don't realize that the gate on the dash doesn't change instantaneously. An accurate reading only occurs after being driven. So you are right that a person should use a mechanical gauge for accuracy. The sensors usually settle in at a reading that's "close enough". But it's not meant to...
