  1. Death Wobble -> steering assist error during flat tow

    I got my Maverick back from the dealer with the power steering replaced, and a couple of other things it seems. Of course they could assure me that it would not happen again. So, unfortunately I cannot trust the Maverick and I have now sold it and moved onto another vehicle to tow. Sad, but...
  2. Death Wobble -> steering assist error during flat tow

    Hello I get that. But in my case, I was going straight, slowed down to let a car go by, did a gentle left turn onto an on-ramp, and about 80yds down the ramp the death wobble happened. I felt it immediately and pulled onto the shoulder and stopped. Looked at the front wheels on the Maverick...
  3. Death Wobble -> steering assist error during flat tow

    I feel the same way. I am already looking for another vehicle. I didn't want to, but I just can't trust that this will not happen again. Very disappointing.

    Well I just had the same thing happen on my 22 hybrid. Gentle left turn into an on ramp. Death wobble started. I pulled off immediately and it straightened out. However I now have the service steering message. Can I still drive it? Got a grandsons birthday to get to.
  7. Tow Mode/Prep: Run 3 minute rule?

    It would also require disconnecting any supplemental braking system in use I think. Obviously, after running the engine, reconnecting that system.

    Yes, flat tow mode. My bad. That is what I thought I would need to do. Take it out of flat tow mode, start ICE, put it back in flat tow, reset RVi3 brake. Thank you

  10. Why keyless door entry instead of using app?

    Very handy when you leave your key and phone in the vehicle when helping your daughter move (and your spare key is in another city)! Add long as you have set it up! Of course then you download the app to your daughter's phone, log in and unlock. Then you set up there keypad!
  11. How to remove panel under steering wheel?

    I removed the steering column cowl (see the video in this thread) and the knee airbag. It's held on by for 10mm bolts. I didn't disconnect the wiring, just set it aside. That gave me some more room but it is still tight in there. Those purple and white wires are so thin. I could not get enough...
