  2. Beware: Heat Exchanger not covered under warranty

    Just my 2 cents. I do hope that Ford Steps up for you. I have a 2016 Prius that just passed the factory warranty. I also have a 1-year-old Maverick Hybrid that I could but won't get an extended warranty on. Both are paid for. So now I don't have car payments but I have tires to buy, oil...
  3. Is the Tesla Cybertruck gonna be a flop or a hit?

    No state or the USA is ready for ALL vehicles to be electric. So, with that out of the way, it will be sold to people who think it is cool who have extra money for toys. So a HIT with them. Flop for me. I personally will not buy any all-electric vehicle but a Hybrid for the next 10 years or...
  4. [Photoshoot Added] Fresh out the body shop: modified and painted Bushwacker flares, painted door handles, painted lower plastics

    That is really nice. I'm just too cheap I guess but I am envious. Great look. I think I would cry if someone slammed their door on it anywhere and left their mark. I try to always park out away from other cars no matter what I drive. After 12 years my Mustang Cobra had ZERO door dings...

  6. Hybrid Owners: Have you had any issues that lead to warranty repairs?

    I come and read posts since I got my truck 14 months ago. How do you qualify "MOST" Maybe "Some" but who is counting?
  7. Hybrid Owners: Have you had any issues that lead to warranty repairs?

    You asked, I'm not silent. NO issues requiring warranty repair. Had it 14 months already.

  9. Maverick Hybrid Brakes not very responsive and not smooth

    I have a fairly steep driveway going into my garage. I often park on this incline when I work on projects inside the garage. I learned with the Prius. Hold foot on brake and put car in neutral and set the parking brake. Release the foot brake and let the car set itself against the parking...
  10. Dealer Wont Replace Airbags Under Recall!

    I simply went to my dealer service department. Handed the guy my 2nd letter saying can I get this recall done now that parts were available. He asked for my mileage which I gave him. He verified my phone number. He said he would call me when the parts come in and it will be fixed. No hassle...
  11. Sorry, I ordered a Tesla....

    Seems people are way to touchy. This post was done by a member from December 2021 and was posted in General Automotive Talk (Non-Maverick) If you don't like people changing their mind for any reason they want, don't read topics under this heading about cars "non-maverick". I like my XLT...
  12. HEV transportation electrification fee in WA state

    My 1 year renewal at DMV in California on my basic XLT hybrid with only hitch option was 340.00. Can't find the breakdown sheet. Doesn't matter, you pay or you don't drive. The more your pay for the vehicle the higher the DMV fees when you start off. Then each year some of the fees are...
  13. Maverick hybrid gas vs millage

    first off, manual page 172 states "your vehicle operates on regular unleaded" (R+M)/2 = 87 octane again quoting "for best overall engine and vehicle performance" 91 octane and they go on to say like in hot weather or towing again talking about performance. They seem to think "performance"...
  14. Resolved: Hybrid - Difficulty "creeping" the last few inches into my garage...

    I hardly ever use Auto Hold but am really cramped putting 2 cars and 2 motorcycles in a 2-car garage. If I go too far, I hit a new Motorcycle. If I am too far to the right, I hit a classic motorcycle. I can see the right corner trim/floor on the garage frame using the back up camera because...
  15. Hybrid or Ecoboost . How freaking hard can it be to let readers know

    I belong to a Honda Rebel forum. same crap happens because there are 3 Rebel models. Each on different. When I read posts and then find out it isn't my model, I have wasted my time. I want to read posts that pertain to my model Rebel. It was suggest that members posting use 300 -500 -1100...
  16. Fun summer classic cars?

    The only thing that broke on my 1995 Miata was a clutch slave cylinder for $17.00 in 132,000 miles. A newer Miata with 2000 engine, 6 speed and push button hard top (about 2010 model) would be my choice for fun reliable car.
  17. Ford Credit, again

    I financed through Ford credit. I set them up in my online banking as an account I can pay whenever I want to pay. Never use autopay. Each month I would make my payment manually with my online banking usually when I got the paper statement. I would also then turn around and send them...
  18. 12V battery charging

    I average about 489 miles per month over 1 year of ownership of my hybrid Maverick. After all the posts on dead batteries and low usage I bought a battery pack and keep it under the seat should I get the message or 12 volt battery low enough to start the truck. I have motorcycles I ride about...
  19. I will let Ford Dealer do my first oil change-price was right

    Not sure what model you have but the Hybrid takes synthetic 0-20wt. I did see some other synthetic oils for around 30 dollars or so at Walmart. Mobil one synthetic is pretty pricy around here. Might look at Kirkland brand next time in Costco. The Ford spec is often printed on the bottles...
