This is an interesting topic without a definite solution, at least so far. I have only had my Mav since June and generally do not keep the Ford Pass app active while I try to sort out battery life issues with my phone, but this caught my eye. I had never seen the deep sleep message before during...

Mine was good for 2500 miles and then it became very apparent. The weather was also cool and rainy which seemed to magnify the brake touchiness, no matter how I tried to mitigate it. Then the last week was cool but dry and they improved. Today was also cold with snowy conditions and the...

Well, the hood size seems pretty necessary or it wouldn't cover the hole between the fenders and out to the grill :unsure: . I certainly get it about the stopping way too short because of the long hood illusion. I think the hood being essentially in the same plane as the flat top dash helps...

Yup, I have found the same thing and the timing is particularly annoying. It has done so twice in a week when using the phone maps for navigation. It seems to like to do so when it is really needed such as entering a city. Getting there on the highway is not an issue, but disconnect in traffic...

Thanks a bunch. I will try that just to see what happens but it sure beats pulling fuses, if and when it happens again. The entire system seems pretty glitchy in and of itself, but that is merely annoying. The loud uncontrolled banging and popping is dangerous.

Photo?

I was lucky to be in my driveway instead of under way, especially in traffic. No idea what caused it. I doubt the phone connection was the catalyst but I know nothing for certain. The inability to shut it down was probably the most worrisome part.

I tried a search here and a Google search as well. Nothing comes up in this forum but it does in a general Google search. This is regarding my 2023 Lariat and the B&O audio. The incident just this afternoon. Entered the truck to move it into the garage after rinsing bugs from the front. My phone...

Regarding the backing up; the hybrid can only do so using electric power. There is no actual transmission in the common sense and no reverse gear. The engine does not run backwards, so electric only can propel the vehicle backwards. Whomever scienced out the switching between the various modes...

I wish it was as easy as raising the seat. Because of the multiple facets involved, it will get to you no matter where you are under the right conditions. No matter, it is something to deal with and I appreciate the suggestions, serious or otherwise. The matte finish in the problem zone seems...

Yup, the photo captures it very well. It is like a disco ball in that area under the right conditions. My guess is the faceted nature of those depressions changes the way the light waves vibrate so it gets around ordinary polarized glasses. I wasn't in my Maverick this morning but I was looking...

Some creative ideas there, thank you for that 🤞 I was wearing polarized sunglasses, which usually help a lot, but the polarization only works in one plane and something is different about this. Rotate your polarized lens in front of an LCD type screen and you can see the effect clearly. Mine is...

I did some searching and didn't find anything. I had an experience tonight after two months of ownership and I found multiple reflections from the hood in addition to the direct sun glare when driving into a low angle sunshine. I could block direct sun with the visor but the hood has multiple...

I did something similar on the way home from picking up. Long straight stretch of almost 9 miles, and flat. Just sort of eased into it rather than hammer down on a brand new engine. It cracked 100mph at 65% indicated on power meter. 800ft above sea level and 68* ambient. Since that time I have...

Thank you all. No defrost, but valid thought. I imagined it is probably a combination and of course the operator is extra vigilant. The somewhat mushy throttle response was the catalyst for the question. As I said, it's my first hybrid, and I have been pleasantly surprised that its willingness...

This is my first hybrid so maybe a Homer Simpson type dumb question. I have only had my hybrid for two months and about 1200 miles so far. The weather this summer has been almost perfect for battery environment, dry and temperatures generally peaking in the 80's. I got used to my general use...

I have looked around the inventive aftermarket and I do not see anyone doing a kit for insulating under the hood. I do understand the engine isn't always on, especially my hybrid, but it is pretty coarse sounding under certain conditions. It seems a little out of step to have a "SoundScreen"...

As the mass is moved further from the center the moment of inertia increases requiring more force to change speed. It can be mitigated somewhat with lighter tire and wheel, but the physics stays the same.

I looked at my other three vehicles, a 1990 Buick Reatta, a 1997 Ford Ranger XLT, and a 2011 Subaru Forester base model. All of them have under hood insulation, nothing shiny or reflective, but all are some type of semi-rigid woven material, maybe fiberglas or a rock wool of some sort. It would...

Mine was clipped to the jack behind the rear seat, right where the manual said it was ?
