Gasoline car shall be that way, because brake pedal need to be pushed all the way down, like traffic light, stop sign, etc, Hybrid brake no need to be pushed that low, most of time.
Maverick is my first hybrid, I soon realized the braking is different from gasoline car. Most of time in hybrid car, you don't need to push brake pedal all the way down because of regenerate braking, unless emergency. Then, your foot is kind of kept in the "air", over time, it is not quite...
Whistle is very obvious from 25 to 30 miles, even with radio on, I can still hear that. My wife think it is so annoyed, like police car followed you.
So, what is "whistle" for, transmission ?
Thanks
It has been a week after picked up 24 XLT from dealer due to E-Parking brake malfunction, since then, driving every day for commute, so far so good.

I have been thinking through, mine might be issue of PCM too, I guess. The puzzling is dealer has not contact me for what the problem is they think, but I can see they are testing something, because the car has been driven ~10 mile per day in three days so far, but never called me, only said...
Ok, I am not well informed, I thought hybrid car will continue to drain power from 12V battery, mismanagement or "bad" battery caused these issues, like deep sleep ect, but not for the ecoboost engine, looks like I am wrong.
Update: this morning, I noticed app showed car has been driven twice, each about 10 miles, I called dealer, dealer read tech notes, only mentioned "low 12 voltage battery", then he talked to the tech, text me to keep car one more day.
I kind of know "body work" is expensive, from all you said, it is really really expensive !
When I went there to shop Maverick, I was told the hail damage, dents on hood and top, they replaced the hood, leave the top as is. The one I bought, looks like, had ~10 dents on the top. While I am...
