The FACT is that about the only thing that voids a factory warranty is the vehicle being declared a total loss in a flood or accident. When you hear that adding a supercharger does not void your warranty, that is true. But know that when you melt a piston Ford is not going to pay your warranty...

DOC fees ( documentation fees ) used to be low and were there to cover the cost of sending someone to the Department of Motor Vehicles in each state to file the paperwork ( title, registration, etc. ) required after the sale. $50 was reasonable to most.... BUT, dealers found it to be a way to...

I don't buy extended service contracts. I am so far ahead with money saved by NOT buying them that I could buy a new vehicle with it. If I WERE going to buy one, it would be the FORD plan. Do NOT let them sell you any branded contract that does not say FORD ESP. You can depend on the Ford...

Easiest, most secure way to handle this is to go back to the Dealer. Ask the Finance manger to cancel the extended warranty. If you were lead to believe the cost was not near the $3900 you paid, bring that to his attention when he starts acting upset. I would also add this smells like a perfect...

Well, you will have to wait for that.....as I wrote above I don't have the Maverick yet! I went with the bulb socket in the C Max and Jeep I tow. Those are ok...but not quite as bright as I like since they are incandescent bulbs and not perfectly located in the lense area. OK..since the...

I have the Patriot Blue Ox braking...and had a C max behind the motorhome for some time. I don't have the Maverick yet...and if ANYTHING like the C max I will run a power lead from the motorhome to the battery post under the Maverick hood like I did on the C max. This eliminates all the issues...

If the dealer is not comfortable reducing the price by the private offer amount, they CAN still file for the private offer and send you a check ( or if it still works the same, Ford will mail the check ). Dealer is out nothing. BUT...if dealer files for it do follow up. They could try to keep...

So you can see that there is NO coolant in the oil? No fuel in the oil? Aluminum deposits in range? Etc..... I don't doubt your oil was fine. But don't discredit having an oil sample done. Even at 4K. I certainly would on an EB, just to confirm absence of fuel dilution. Car engines just don't...

Why not simply leave the tailgate up? Let the rear tire sit where it will on it. Gonna have to strap it down, but that isn't a bad idea anyway. I have two RadRover 6+ bikes that I am fit in mine ( if it ever gets built). Depending on where their rear tire hits I will either sit the rear tire on...

I have cut my share of filters open. Have you noticed the newer vehicles seem to have smaller filters? That is because they are still way more than adequate to filter the oil for the recommended change interval... and beyond. I just have not run into any filter that showed signs of having enough...

Well, the 2.7 Ecoboost is tuned higher than either of them. Again, not telling anyone what to do. But stories of a ( shorter than recommended) mile oil change interval will extend engine life just isn't necessarily true. If there was that much difference in how much wear there was between 10000...

BS about the EcoBoost engines. Turbos are water cooled. So coking of the oil is not an issue. It would have to be an EXTREME condition to change the oil at 3K miles and no one here has ever tested their oil to show it needed changed at that interval. Send off a sample to an oil analysis lab (...

While this IS all on your Dealer, as the Ford order guide clearly separates the two Co-Pilot 360 packages, that pic of the "packages" sure makes Ford look bad as it does indicate 360 Assist IS included in a Lariat Luxury Package. Probably more trouble than it is worth to "insist" Ford make this...

This ^^^ Gone are the days when you splice into the taillight wires to add a hitch. All CanBus or similar systems. So, you MUST have a module that controls the hitch lights. I don't know if all the rear harness's on the Maverick are all the same, where you could add the module/harness later. But...

Allocation? There IS some black magic involved with that. So you ordered from a big dealer so you expect a better allocation and better chance of your Maverick being built! Ordered from a small dealer...now you feel there is NO hope of Maverick being built! Many larger dealers will have a larger...

Classic sleezebag Finance person. Bumper to bumper is meant to make you think it covers everything the factory 3/36,000 warranty covers. Not so much. These are not warranties, but contracts to fix certain covered parts. Got paint peeling off a wheel? Not likely covered.....at least past the...

Your Dealer should be able to arrange pickup of that Maverick. They won't let YOU do it, but they can contact the yard and ask if they can send an employee over there to get it. Won't hurt to ask.

You seem easily butthurt when someone ( anyone ) responds to what you post. You say I said the same thing you did, so why is that a problem? Just reinforces the position. I did watch the video, and you should read my post. Never did I write Dealer Business Managers have to tell you how much...

One thing I learned when I had my Cmax is to ride the brake pedal just a bit as I left home when it was wet/damp out. The humidity ( Houston humidity is rather consuming...) causes the brakes to grab on any vehicle till you put just a touch of heat into the pads/rotors after sitting overnight...

They will often wait on a full truckload going in that direction. I know the feeling of waiting, but you are at least lucky to have one close to being in your driveway!
