  1. SSM 53801: 2022-2025 Maverick Hybrid 12V Battery Drain Issue Update Fix Released!

    Are you happy with the response you received? It's all greek to me and I'm in a bit of a quandary. Yesterday, July 19, 2025 I was driving joyfully along and got a "Safely Stop" message on the dash and the vehicle just stopped, in the middle of a well traveled back road in my area. No start, no...
  2. No hope. Anyone else feel this way?

    Sorry, you can blame me. And the others of my mold. I hesitated when I first saw the Maverick, that hesitation moved me from a probable February 2022 delivery date to an August delivery date. In the interim I considered other options and would have purchased another vehicle except they weren't...
  3. No hope. Anyone else feel this way?

    Others have said it, there's going to be a wait, they can't build them fast enough to meet the demand. When they first started taking orders I filled out the information, then hesitated. Maybe six weeks. That moved me from a February delivery to an August delivery, during which time I looked at...
  4. New Maverick Recall: 2.5 Hybrid Engine Fire Hazard [Updated w/ Safety Recall Notice to Dealers]

    My XLT was built on 6/6/23 and is in shipment at this time. When it is received by my dealer they'll do the modifications. Ford indicated that it would be delivered between July 27th and August 4th. But once they started the build it was so quick that I suspect I'll have deliver before the 27th...
  5. New Maverick Recall: 2.5 Hybrid Engine Fire Hazard [Updated w/ Safety Recall Notice to Dealers]

    I suspect that we're both right but we don't know for sure because we don't have access to the engineers assessments. Some other Ford models have experienced engine fires from 'leaks' and ignition by the electronics. Of course we must recognize that it is not uncommon on any ICE vehicle with...
  6. New Maverick Recall: 2.5 Hybrid Engine Fire Hazard [Updated w/ Safety Recall Notice to Dealers]

    I anticipate delivery of my XLT Hybrid within a month. I will guarantee that I will be refilling my truck at least four and possibly six times in the first month. (Might be because I have some plans that will take me from Victoria B.C. to Las Vegas, NV, and a trip through Yellowstone to Billings...
  7. New Maverick Recall: 2.5 Hybrid Engine Fire Hazard [Updated w/ Safety Recall Notice to Dealers]

    It appears the the modification is to increase the air flow in the engine compartment to reduce the heat build up by the catalytic converter. I have read complaints from owners who did a remote start to have their passenger compaartment warm on cold mornings. Because the vehicles are not moving...
  8. How to hypermile a hybrid for MPG!

    Might say that there's not much chewing with crushed ice. More like seperating the ice pieces and swallowing. It all started when the wife got tissed at me and took a handful and rubbed it on my chest. It wasn't cold, it was refreshing. From there I poped it into my mouth, swallowed and noted...
  9. ⏱ No Maverick Scheduling Next Week (5/23)

    I was scheduled for May 30th, and because of the lag time and reports from others I've accepted that as a window of receipt of the Maverick in late July or early August. Shore 'nuff they sent a message that production has been pushed out to June 6th. Probably receive similar messages again, but...
  10. Regrets on Trim, Add Ons, Packages??

    I've seen a few Mavericks for sale by dealers, vehicles the buyer backed out. None had the sunroof and rear window, two of the "musts" on my rig. And now I have a production date, for what that's worth, but it will have the moonroof and rear window. 😊
  11. How to hypermile a hybrid for MPG!

    I was in Redding, Ca heading south. The A/C got overworked and was providing warm air, temperature rising. Stopped and grabbed some ice and a couple of jugs of water. Chewed the ice and body temp dropped to the point that 110 was comfortable. Later we were out of ice and temps rising, both in...
  12. Production week changed

    If Ford has your correct Email address they'll send you a notice when you scheduled for production. That will also include a link that you can use to check up on the assembly status. That's all I know for now since I just received my production date on 5/13 with the VIN number of the vehicle...
  13. Production week changed

    You'se guys are making me nervous. Gotta admit I ordered after you did, procrastination ran amok. Just rec'd notice that my rig is scheduled for May 30. You're making it look like I can anticipate after Independence Day. Hope I'm wrong, I hope you get yours faster than anticipated, and most of...
  14. 15K Miles Review and Stuff I Hate

    That's the first thing I would do. The OBD will let you know (almost) where the issue is coming from, and as suggested I would clear it. If it happens again I would take it to the dealer (without mentioning that I'd had an OBD on it.) Some dealers are PITA, if you're very fortunate you'll run...
  15. I've had better nights! Maverick hit @ 1K miles 😔

    Glad to see that you had a video. It looked like she was stopping to make a U-turn and was watching for the on-coming traffic . . . without considering that she was blocking both lanes. I'm still waiting for my Maverick and just fear something like this happening as soon as I receive my Maverick...
