  1. Cold vs Warm MPG difference — how big was yours?

    With a 2023 Hybrid, in winter months I can get as high as 44mpg. Whatever I get in the winter I always see a 4-5 mpg decrease during the summer. I know that's not what anyone says should happen but that has been the case consistently for me for the last 3 years. I don't typically remote start...
  2. Hybrid Recalls - Should I Proceed?

    I'm well aware of what other conversations have happened on this forum at that time. I can only assume you are giving Corporate Ford credit for the local Ford mechanics in some regions who DID try to solve the issue in April for a couple customers. Props to those guys for serving their...
  3. Hybrid Recalls - Should I Proceed?

    How are you concluding that Ford was hard and fast to fix the issue? The issue was not addressed at all in the month of April. I know because the issue happened to me April 3, and Ford was entirely non-responsive and playing dumb about the issue until 6 weeks later when it happened to me a...
  4. Hybrid Recalls - Should I Proceed?

    As someone who experienced two issues due to recalls last March I can say there have been 2 software recalls since that might address that particular issue. The most recent only came out in the last week and I literally just finished the appointment to get it. Since no one can reproduce the...
  5. Entered Limp Mode on the Highway

    This happened to me twice 6 weeks apart, once in April and once in May. If its only happening to you now then you are lucky that enough complaints came before you and Ford has had enough time to recognize the issue and research options. The recall released in May will theoretically address the...
  6. 24S33 / 24V-330 New Recall Notice - Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HPCM) - Issued 5/3/24

    Yes I drove 8 months without significant driving issues. Then my Ford dealer called me last March urging me to get mine in for a recall. I might have waited but when they said the recall could be handled by a technician sent to my house and the recall done in my driveway there was no reason to...
  7. 24S33 / 24V-330 New Recall Notice - Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HPCM) - Issued 5/3/24

    I drove my '23 Maverick 8 months without this issue before Ford injected the problem into my car and it left me stranded twice. This is not an early adopter issue. This is a problem Ford added mid-ownership, and its a significant safety issue Ford isn't even 100% sure they fixed. We should all...
  8. 24S33 / 24V-330 New Recall Notice - Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HPCM) - Issued 5/3/24

    Had this issue on 4/3. Dealer couldn't do anything because by the time they looked at it all of the codes were gone. They sent me on my way with Corporate Ford advising that my Motorolla wireless dongle might have interfered with the computer... 5/13 - It happened again. It's still in the...
  9. Maverick just went haywire!

    Dealer kept my vehicle over the weekend and put 100 miles on it to test and couldn't reproduce the issue. Dealer reached out to Ford who basically had no answer other than that some plugged in wireless devices might interfere with the computer. I have a "MA1 Wireless Car Adapter For Android...
  10. Maverick just went haywire!

    Well, if all they did was let your truck sit around for a day or too the codes would probably clear and your Maverick would drive fine with the dealer doing nothing. I'm more curious what needing to "reprogram modules" means and how it is the Achilles heel of the whole vehicle. Why did they need...
  11. Maverick just went haywire!

    I just got an update from my dealer. The alerts are gone, the errors are cleared, the car works just fine, they have no idea what happened or how to reproduce it. They will keep the truck to drive it in hopes of it happens again. @Ford Motor Company - Aside from this happening at all being...
  12. Maverick just went haywire!

    Yesterday I experienced the same issue, except I got in the truck and drove a friend an hour away. After dropping him off and turning around I was going 50mph when a majority of what you expressed occured. It said I was in the wrong gear, it gave pre-collision warnings, it flashed a half dozen...
  13. Ran the numbers on miles it takes to "Break Even" with the higher price of the Hybrid Maverick 🙇🏻‍♂️💰

    I got a 2023 Hybrid. It was the same price as the Eco at the time. BUT if I chose the Eco I would absolutely add AWD for $2,000. So by the premise that all Eco's must be AWD, the two were not the same price at the time. The less fuel efficient vehicle cost me more $$. There was no break even...
  14. Ran the numbers on miles it takes to "Break Even" with the higher price of the Hybrid Maverick 🙇🏻‍♂️💰

    My last pre-Maverick car was a 2003 Vibe with 230,000 miles. I salute your Vibe's longevity! Mine was still drive-able a month ago when I let it go, but PA law and a failing catalytic converter ended its life early.

    Pennsylvania Maverick Truck Club

    When I ordered there was a $500 deposit which I was fine with and actually preferred. But when I picked up my Maverick 2 weeks after the 2024 order banks opened the salesmen told me there was a big drop in interest from prior years. So I imagine them dropping the deposit altogether was a...
  16. BakFlip MX4 Tonneau install

    You are right that the 1/4 inch reference is related to the clearance between cover and tailgate. So I misunderstood that. But the fins I speak of are in the Maverick-specific instructions below. The Maverick specific install manual is here...
  17. BakFlip MX4 Tonneau install

    I just installed the Bakflip MX4 on my new Maverick. The instructions suggest the cover's rubber seal should rest 1/4 inch on the tailgate. Mine is at most 1/8 inch. ie. there are 3 rubber fins, the first and second should rest on the tailgate. Right now only the first fin does. I'm concerned...
  18. A few recent Scumbag dealer stories about Maverick orders.

    He didn't really provide any helpful lawyer/legal input on these matters. Everything he shared was just factual reporting any average Joe could find and share. Short of getting every tiny detail about your order documented and signed by a dealer general manager, none of these custom orders or...
  19. A few recent Scumbag dealer stories about Maverick orders.

    You can't order from through site. You can build a Maverick but upon submission your information gets passed to a dealer. Then you contact that dealer, they contact you, or you choose a different dealer altogether and THEN the purchase process begins. You will talk to them about the actual...

    Pennsylvania Maverick Truck Club

    Just got my Hybrid XLT 2 days ago. After 18 years keeping my Pontiac Vibe alive this budget truck is a luxury! I'm not sure if I'm happier to have the truck or more relieved that my dealership turned out to be one of the good ones and the final delivery was painless. Not perfect, but certainly...
