Wolfe Jet, larryhokie, Did you see the attached picture? Sure glad our trucks were not on that Norfolk Southern train!!! Finally solved my gasoline smell in the garage problem a few weeks ago. There were 2 fuel line clamps near a fuel filter that were loose. The dealer's tech tightened them...

Wolfe Jet; Today out of the blue, we received a Yeti insulated tumbler from Ford, apparently as a small compensation for waiting patiently for completion of the side airbag recall. Wonder if you got one too.

Confirmed Order on 6/17/2021, Built on 7/8/2022 then ~3 month microchip hold, At dealership on 11/1/2002 then side airbag recall hold; finally delivered 12/1/2002 = 17 months and 2 weeks (532 days)

Wolfe Jet: Thanks so much for the info. My wife really likes her truck!! She says it is easier to drive than our old 2003 Saturn Vue. Thanks again for all our message exchanges over the months of waiting for our trucks. Have safe journeys in your Maverick!!

Wolfe Jet: I now have a new issue with Ford. Alas, is there no end. I checked the warranty start date on my Ford Pass account. It says 11/1/2022 -- the date I signed the Virginia Buyers Order so the dealer could get priority on the side airbag recall parts. We actually took delivery and...

Wolfe Jet: Got our truck back. Now no gasoline oder when park in the garage. The dealer ran a pressure test and an evacuation test on the fuel system. The truck passed both tests. The dealer discussed two theories with me: (1) There is value in the piping between the gasoline tank and...

Wolfe Jet: Hope your ownership starts better than ours. Bought the truck yesterday, drove it 40+ miles till nighttime, put it in our garage for the night, checked before going to bed, detected a strong gasoline smell in the garage, vented the garage by opening the large door for an hour, the...

Wolfe Jet: We are now officially a Maverick owner. Now to learn all tech features. Best wished for your delivery this week.

Wolfe Jet: If our delivery is 12/1/2022, we will have waited 17 months and 2 weeks since our confirmed order date!! I suspect you are waiting longer. Hope your airbags arrive this week.

Wolfe Jet: We received 2 emails from our dealer today. The first was this morning and said our side airbags had arrived and would be installed as soon as possible. The second email arrived late today and said our truck is ready for delivery to us. Given a weather forecast of rain most of...

Wolfe Jet: You are right; you in your wildest dreams could not make this up. We should write a book of our buying experience. I am awaiting word from my dealer about the airbags for our truck. He said last week that they should arrive early this week. Better luck to you!!

Wolfe Jet: I advised my dealer about results of today's phone call with the Ford executive offices lady. He said our recall parts are expected early next week. Maybe we will get our truck shortly before or after Thanksgiving. Hope the same for you.

Wolf Jet: FYI. Since our truck was delivered to our dealer,I have had many discussions with Ford Chat online and via phone calls to Ford CRC. Those contacts got nowhere about when our trucks' side airbag recall will be resolved. So, a few days ago, I emailed several Ford executives using...

Wolfe Jet: I shall be contacting my dealer tomorrow to determine if my signing a Virginia Buyers Oder suffices for the Bill of Sale to which you and Tim refer. Thanks for the heads up!!! Wolfe Jet, larryhokie: My wife and I are Tree Stewards. At a past lecture, we learned about Hollywood...

Wolfe Jet: Please post when your dealer says "I have the recall parts".and when "Come to buy and drive your truck off our lot." I have heard nothing about the recall parts for my truck after signing the buyer order. Thanks for your posting today.

Wolfe Jet: Received this email from Ford; did you get a similar one? Needless to say, I can't buy the truck sitting in my dealer's building because of the airbag recall and no one at Ford CRC, Ford chat, or my dealer can tell me when it can be sold!! SO THE MESSAGE IS RUBBING SALT IN A...

Wolfe Jet, dhvgb1: The idea suggested by dhvgb1, which I emailed to my dealer, has resulted in their agreement to store our truck in their special vehicle storage building to protect it from the weather as well as possible scratches and fouching if in the showroom. They also agreed to install...

Anita: I hope you receive better Ford communications than I. My experience: FoMoCo 6/17/2021 email confirmed my order; 10/21/2021 FoMoCo email saying truck delivery next year but will keep me updated; in June 2022 dealer said truck build 7/4/2022 week; FoMoCo 7/14/2022 email said supply chain...

dhvgb1: I agree with Wolfe Jet that this is an fanrtastic out-of-the box idea!!! As it is after business hours at my dealer now, I emailed the idea to my dealer's General Manager and sales staff. I'll let you know when they respond.

Wolfe Jet: Thanks for your attachment; it seems to be what the dealer GM was quoting. I'll let you know when I hear more details from my dealership.
