I think Doug Ford is just trying to protect the automotive manufacturing sector in Canada.
Regarding Chinese made parts... I'll share this, why it matters to me. I owned a 2002 Cadillac Deville, bought it used, relatively low mileage, minty condition, dealer maintained. I had it about 8...
Hi, Canadian here... was watching CNN and saw Ontario Premier Doug Ford being interviewed. Speaking about the auto industry, he said some automakers (he didn't say who) were building Chinese made parts, into their assembled-in-Mexico vehicles. As a Maverick owner, that made me wonder.
Anyone...
I just had this too. My Maverick is just shy of 3 years old, only has 23,500 kms (14,600 miles) on it. Mostly city and highway, but some gravel road usage. I baby it, so was surprised to hear a front suspension clunk develop, slowly getting worse. I paid $150 Cdn for a detailed inspection, and...
Me neither. Wish the app did show battery voltage. The only way I knew battery was low was when I got the deep sleep notification. Which strangely enough hasn't happened since I fully charged the battery.
I do find the app useful for monitoring oil change intervals, and oil life remaining...
Seems to be the case. I did charge my battery up overnight, and saw it peak at 12.95V. I'd left the front windows down a bit overnight, so started it, put windows up, let it run for a minute or two, and shut it down. I waited a few minutes, measured the battery voltage - 12.3V! It uses a lot...
I'll be going to the dealer soon about this myself. Today I got the "deep sleep" notification on the Ford Pass app on my phone, just a few minutes after parking from a short drive! This is getting crazy. Resting voltage, after sitting a few hours was 12.16V yesterday, or day before - today...
I know, bad news. I've seen healthy fully charged lead acid batteries peak charge as high as 13.2V, but more normal 12.8ishV. And I've babied my battery, have a 3A "Battery Tender" charger/maintainer wired in underhood. That's charging when I plug the block heater in, to warm up the battery...
I just talked to a service advisor at our local Ford dealership about this issue. They haven't gotten the recall yet, so have no repair guidance. I drove the truck last night, have had a bunch of trips both short and longer last few days, so battery certainly should be charged up...
... but...
Ironically, my Maverick has been pretty much trouble free, and I've had it about 2 1/2 years. I've lost count of the number of recalls, must be # 6 or 7 already.
Just got this article in my Google newsfeed.

I've got a very early production 2.0 ecoBoost, so am probably affected. I hope this is why I keep getting the "deep sleep" notification. I've been hiding under a rock, lots of people getting this too I take it?
Weird thing, today all-of-a-sudden the magic Android Auto "Coolwalk" splitscreen appeared. I read they were rolling it out slowly...
I'll have to confirm, but my screen head unit never updated, as far as I know still has original software.
So, has everything to do with the phone. I have an...
No! I brought the truck in for warranty work, told 'em about the problem - they said they updated it, and they didn't. My radio generally does work OK. However, couple of weeks ago it froze for the first time when using Android Auto, and I did a reset on the head unit that unfroze it.
Our...
I drive like an old man, see 30 - 35 mpg (Imperial) routinely. I usually beat the 9.6 liters/100 kms combined by a lot. Winter conditions sure takes a hit on fuel economy tho, gotta consider that, suggest that's maybe what you're seeing.
I'm a bit of a hypermiler, normally accelerate...
Used a windshield cover all last winter, worked great, good fit, bought at Costco. We've had our Maverick two years next week. First winter scooping snow and ice out of that hood/windshield gap was a PITA.
I just got in from trying again. I moved the truck really close to the house, it's like 20 feet from the router. Wi-Fi connects fine, 3 times I scan for updates and each time it says up to date!? This has happened repeatedly. Every once in a while it will connect and attempt to download. We...
