Hello!
Bit of backstory: Got my hybrid Maverick at 38 miles, notice it had leaked most of its oil in my driveway by ~100 miles. Took it to the dealership, and they told me it was missing a plug on the 2.5L hybrid engine. Pretty upsetting, but got this fixed.
Then, shortly after, I noticed rain...

Hey guys! Bit of an update, got my truck back!
Apparently, there was a missing plug on the back of the engine from the factory? I'm thinking my engine may have been built on a Friday lol. They put a new plug in and ordered a...
Thank you sir! If they swap the engine, I will be super happy. Glad to hear that the new CVT is good as well. I know the CVTs on older Fords, Ford Freestyle & Ford 500 were garbage IMO, but from what I've heard, the new ones are similar to what comes with Toyotas.
Can't wait to drive it again!
Yes sir! The truck itself is incredible, I'd love to keep it! Just don't want to think that I'm driving around in a lemon lol. Hopefully, they swap out the engine though.
And I think mine has a CVT, really don't know much about the reliability of that. Really wish this truck came in a manual...
I will definitely call or go up there tomorrow and ask about it. Do you think a new engine would lesser the value of the vehicle? Or cause it to not live as long? Or am I overthinking?
I've swapped out transmissions myself before with bad luck later on, so not sure.
Edit: Also worth noting...
Yes sir! I will definitely call in the morning and check on the status. I will tell them I have been heavily advised to enquire about a new engine as well. Thank you!

Thanks, everyone! I am going to call in the morning and enquire about any news and possibly a new engine.
I really planned on taking super good care of this truck and keeping it until ~200k, or...
Good afternoon!
Someone canceled their order for an XL 2.5L Hybrid 4 days ago, and I was lucky enough to snag it up with only 20 miles on it. I love this truck so much! Literally the perfect vehicle for me, and I love getting 42+ MPG.
However, I saw a puddle when I got home, but I thought...
