If I lived 50 miles out of town no matter how reliable my vehicle was I would own a jump box. I live in a city and I have a jump box and it has jumped over a dozen vehicles in the last year just never my Hybrid Maverick to this date… (touch wood)!

[Oops, I meant to reply to richard a winkler] It's not just a Ford problem. Many newer vehicles tend to be more demanding on the 12V battery. My 2008 Saturn Vue went through a few batteries, and I had to use a charger (quick start setting) almost weekly to get it out of the garage and I often...

On the hybrid trickle charging the 12V battery periodically appears to be futile. The two spikes in the SOC was when I put it on a charger (using the jump posts). Note how short lived the fix lasted. The BMS or the battery do not want to cooperate. Note: on this graph I cut the highest voltage...

The people talking about removing the trim are putting in a slightly larger AGM battery. It does not slide in without removing the plastic trim surrounding the storage area. Adding the bigger battery also requires bending down the metal clips so that the battery drops down in place. My plan is...

Well I set up the pivot to show the worst voltages at starting of the truck...

My eyes are not what they once were (I am 61), but I have to say I feel the headlights are much better than my last vehicle. I also like the auto high beams. I always hated having to keep my hand close to the leaver so I could flick them off quickly when needed.

I have a Lariat with ActiveX seat covers and they seem to get as warm as I remember my company supplied Subaru's seats did. The Subaru was my first car with heated seats, and I missed them when I had to return the car after I changed positions within the company.

I updated my tracking today and took a look at my 12V batteries average voltage since installing the voltage monitor. I am not liking the trend... I hope the fix comes sooner than later. I would rather get it fixed under warranty if possible. (This is the batteries average voltage excluding...

If I recall correctly there was a shortage of the stock batteries for a while and Ford had allowed the dealers to make substitutions.

I have a 24 and yes, it has the 12v issue, but it has always started the truck. I have a 15 minute commute on surface roads, so my truck does not get driven long. I have put it on a charger a few times but honestly it only helps for a day or so and its right back to being barely adequate...

The A/C is electric where as the heat comes from the ICE. The ICE will always run when it's temp is below 50°C - 1) to heat the HV battery and 2) to deliver heat to the cabin if the heat is called for. I tend to keep it off unless the windows need to be defrosted and use the heated seats and...

The computer may take a while to calibrate and better anticipate your expected Mileage/ tank. Last trip should be as accurate as it was (but could be lower than you expect because of colder temps). If the computer it starting from scratch the better mileage you may have had in the summer is not...

No, it works the same, the motor generators can help propel as well as recharge at the same time. The main exception is when the HV battery is at or below 30% and then it’s mostly up to the ICE to propel the truck. You can actually loose battery power when climbing a hill if the ICE and electric...

I like when I am rolling forward idling on battery (no hill). The coach bar shows a very small green bar which should mean regenerative charging but it defies logic and my OBD2 linked app shows the truck is actually using power from the HV battery, not charging it. Looks like the meter needs to...

All Mavericks recalled in Canada 2022 - 2024 (# of units in Canada, but one can assume the ratios would be similar); Mavericks recalled in Canada 2024 Only;

I am always a little confused by this rationale… I have a 24 Lariat Hybrid that has had one software recall (shared with the EcoBoost) and I have the 12V battery issue but never had a problem starting my truck. Is it time to admit the newer Hybrids are is just as reliable as the same model year...

I have not been able to view/ use the Ford app in months and my truck’s 12v battery has been hanging by a thread just as long, but not once has it failed to start. I am mildly annoyed I can’t check the status of my truck or use my phone or watch to open it, but I like driving it and see a...

There is no true neutral in the way a conventional transmission works. The transmission is always connected to the drive train via the sun and planetary gears. The motor generator 1 is trying to charge your battery and keep the truck stationary at the same time but because the ice is at a higher...

I have done similar trips using different routes in different seasons from Vancouver BC to Martinsville Virginia and also from east of St. Louis (east about an hour in Illinois) back home. Although I have been spoiled living so close to the mountains and ocean I loved driving through the Blue...

The way I see it we have poor quality, under spec batteries being poorly managed by the BCM with higher than usual demand while parked and off which leads to a higher failure rate! Hopefully the rumours of a fix coming in the new year is true. My original battery is holding on in the 12.1V to...
