I wish you all the best with your back issue and hope you recover well. I totally understand your transportation conundrum. 2 months ago, I woke up and quickly realized I had suffered a stroke in my sleep. My truck has been parked in the garage ever since. My wife has a 10-year-old Chevy Cruze...

The maverick is very high on my list. I think the Saturn Vue I bought new might be a tad higher only because I got the higher trim Vue 10K below MSRP (it was last years model) with a lot of perks thrown in and it gave me 15 years of almost completely trouble-free use. The truck is great to...

I canceled mine the other day and it was a breeze. I had enabled it with a very low monthly price, but I honestly don't use it very much. I prefer playing my playlists from my iPhone. I was honest and told the dude I have not driven the truck in 2 months because I had a stroke and reminded him I...

Thanks for the tip... if it does not pop up as a problem I will mention it at the next oil change. I also plan on getting them to do the A/C programing fix at the same time. The truck is still in storage right now while I deal with my medical issue, but I am hopeful I will be back behind the...

I keep my spare fob in a faraday bag hidden in my garage. I don't really see a need to an extra set in the truck as my main set has an apple air tag attached and I can usually use the app to open the doors (now that the deep sleep issues have been delt with) if needed. I like to double lock the...

I have a dongle attached to my OBD port and watch some data on my Apple CarPlay. I happened to find a pending warning for the heat exchanger before the light came on. I kept an eye on it over subsequent drives and it eventually cleared without ever turning on the light. It has been a while now...

I bought over a year ago after waiting almost a year. During that year I was a member of this forum and read about all of the recalls, so I hedged my bet and bought a warrantee. It wasn't the longest but it is close (I did some quick math in my head to try and pick the best plan). I was retiring...

The damage to the car compared to the damage on the truck does not really seem to tell the story as the car seems to have taken the bulk of the damage. So glad you seem to do well considering. Welcome to the club... (I had to be extricated)

My truck has been on a trickle charger for 60 days as I am forbidden to drive (hopefully temporarily) for medical reasons. I use the jump points under the hood but disconnect them approximately every 14 days just long enough to run it for a while (although I have had updates to install the last...

Ahhh yes, it all came back to me... I had 344 days to learn how their convoluted system worked while I waited. 🤣

Priority 19 is the standard setting a dealer uses to order a vehicle. I believe they are allowed 10-19. Anything below is for Ford and reserved for fixing mistakes or prioritizing orders for say a roll over from year to year etc. As an example, mine was a 19 in 2023 and the beginning of 2024...

I had read an article about this a few years ago, but this was just a quick seach... ...The reason there are fewer new trucks with regular cabs is primarily due to fuel mileage regulations that penalize manufacturers for selling short wheelbase versions of full-size trucks. These regulations...

It hasn't seemed to be a problem going from my Saturn Vue to the Maverick. I gained 12" in length but lost 6" in the turn radius.

Update: April 1st. 2025 after a small run around with the dealer I decided to bite the bullet and drop in my own ACDelco LN1AGM. All I did was update the BMS (both ways). All of the deep sleep issues reset (dome lights, passenger side keyless entry...). While driven the truck SoC has never...

As a Canadian I could not find the AGM some here have raved about from Amazon so I bought one of these; ACDelco LN1AGM

I see this as 2 different issues. On one hand there was poorly programmed A/C code that could stay active and kill the battery that required a recall and then an under rated, poorly built flooded cell battery that is consistently poorly charged and maintained by the BMS that will more likely...

As asked to Microsoft Copilot... In a HF45 eCVT transmission do both motors generate power? The answer was: ⚙️ Roles of the Two Motors in the HF45 eCVT MG1 (Motor Generator 1): Primarily acts as a generator. Starts the internal combustion engine (ICE). Manages engine speed and assists in...

Then we appear to have different reading/writing and comprehension skills as it seemed to me that you indicated that one of MG's was a "dedicated drive motor" and you did not attribute any power generation to it.... to each there own!

Both Motor Generators (MG1 and MG2) generate power at some point. MG1 is the starter for the ice and MG1 generates power using the ICE engine. It also varies the transfer of speed from the ice to the wheels using the sun and planet gears. MG2 is the main electric propulsion but it generates...

My truck is not on the trickle charger because of the battery. I have a fairly new AGM that would normally suffice if the truck could be driven. It is on the trickle charger because I had a stroke and have lost some of my sight. The Doctor’s have told me not to drive unless I get enough of my...
