  1. No brake assist after hard very low speed stop. (Hybrid)--Update, Bad ground

    Problem was apparently 2 loose ground wires for the ABS module. "both grounds bolts were loose at g100, gd121" according to the paperwork.
  2. No brake assist after hard very low speed stop. (Hybrid)--Update, Bad ground

    I've got just over 5000 miles on my hybrid Maverick, with no problems until yesterday. I began pulling out fairly slowly from a red light as if it were a stop sign. Using the brake hold function, I gave it barely enough gas to release and start rolling. Wife shouted gently reminded me "Red...
  3. Switch to radio screen while Android Auto is running? (Lariat/Sync 3)

    Thanks, I feel kind of dumb--I took that to be a mute, not a display control. Works on Sync 3 as well.
  4. Switch to radio screen while Android Auto is running? (Lariat/Sync 3)

    Is there an easier way to switch the infotainment screen back to radio with Android Auto running? The only way that I've managed is to change the radio station with the steering wheel control, then tap the notification that pops up on the infotainment screen. Hondas have a couple of different...
  5. You’ve been Promoted

    I don't know the exact numbers I would use., but at first it would be the most profitable unconstrained orders, with First Editions getting a priority boost. After a few months of production the order date would come into play so less profitable orders don't wait forever. Before April...
  6. I regret getting spray in bedliner

    For me, that looks like a good idea that I'll try....but mostly because I've already got boxes of them in my garage. If they don't work, I'm not out anything plus I've reclaimed some garage space.
  7. Agree or Disagree With Jalopnik? - The Ford Maverick Is A Great Truck — It's Also Part Of The Problem

    I'm not a former Ranger owner yet...but until the Maverick, I was trying to figure out how to replace our 98 with something more modern, more economical and better in snow while keeping the small amount of truck capability that we want. Best I'd though of before the Maverick was a small sedan...
  8. Uneven tailgate cable fix

    What I meant was a lot clearer in my head than it turned out to be on the screen...I hate when that happens. This was meant to be in reference to giving the slack side cable a full twist to shorten it.
  9. Uneven tailgate cable fix

    ...but if the necessary distance for proper support is not exactly the same, wouldn't making the slack cable a bit shorter be an effective solution? (note, it wouldn't surprise me at all if it doesn't work in practice, or if it just moves the slack to the other side of the tailgate)
  10. My dealer blocked me

    You can get this info from Ford corporate who will confirm your order ...by calling and waiting on hold for 30+ minutes. Did that, twice because my dealer didn't change my Ecoboost to a hybrid, they reordered. Ford wasn't able to figure out that the Ecoboost canceled and the hybrid ordered on...
  11. My dealer blocked me

    I want to know that my dealer didn't screw up my order. I want to know that the change I made was made correctly. I want a few weeks notice to arrange financing so I can see what kind of rate my credit union will give me, to compare to whatever the dealer offers. If I had something from...
  12. Android Auto literally useless. Anyone else?

    There's a Gen X cable on Amazon (Digital Ant or A.S brands)that I've had good luck with, bought in part to try to solve a similar problem in my Honda. Honda would eat cables--almost any new cable would work fine for the first few weeks. More expensive cables would last longer before starting...
  13. 🛑 Dealer Memo: Ford Will Suspend New Maverick Ordering Until This Summer

    And Honda makes most of their entry level vehicles in Mexico, like my Fit and the HRV. Not on purpose, my Maverick will be the fourth vehicle in a row from Mexico-VW, Chrysler and currently Honda. All near the bottom of their make's range.
  14. Order confirmed email from Ford

    Never. Ordered a hybrid early August. After contacting my dealer last week I found out that I'm scheduled for the week of Feb 28 and I have a VIN. Neither Ford nor my dealer has initiated any contact with me.
  15. 📣 1/13 Scheduling Email Received Group [EMAILS NOW ARRIVING!]

    Technically I don't fit in this thread, since I haven't received a single email from Ford. Ordered a Lariat Lux hybrid Aug 10. After seeing a bunch of similar trucks with similar dates getting scheduled I emailed my dealer last night. This morning I got a phone call informing me of a Feb 28...
  16. Maverick Stop Sale Recall [Fuel Tank leak inspection issue]. Recall #21C35 (for Mavericks with spray-in bedliner)

    I was involved in a potential recall at an auto maker that is neither Ford nor my current employer. Someone doing a spot check on the line found one out of spec vehicle, turned out to be a fairly serious structural problem. A moderately thorough inspection was made, no more were found...until a...
  17. Maverick Logo

    I don't normally do stickers on my cars, but I'm strongly thinking of an OG Maverick symbol on the back glass of mine--something like https://www.inkace.com/ford-maverick-decal/ but without the lettering.
  18. Manual Transmission. If it was offered, would you choose a Standard?

    I used to prefer manual, but that was back when autos had fewer gears, the performance hit was bigger and the MPG was worse...and I was younger and drove harder.
