Today is 13 Jun 2026. I have a '23 model year Maverick hybrid. My most recent service was withn two weeks. Right after that, my mileage began dropping. I usually get 48 - 52 mpg, but after maintneance, it dropped to 43. Tire pressure was within specs. Yesterday, while driving ilocally, t...

Thanks

I wouldn't mind redesigning the rear seat, if possible, to make it fold away to give an INSIDE storage area. Also, a Bull-bar across the front end should be standard.

There you have it: Actual evidene that just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you should actually DO it.

Everything with my Maverick had been resolved. Happy as a clam. This week, went to start and ignition key wouldn't turn. Tried possible fixes based on prior experience. Nothing. Called Ford. Asked if there was something I was missing; response, "We'll send a tow truck to go to dealer."...

My Broadfoot bar should arrive on Monday. I'll post when I've installed it.

Thanks. Appreciate your input. (1) Yeah, I think a 2nd screen would be needed too (2) If I get fog lights from FORD, it would be really expensive. I need to study this more carefully. Mounting the control switch is also something I need to investigate. (3) I wasn't thinking about adding a...

I was amazed at the amount of space below the cubby! I haven't done anything with it yet -- I did buy a cubby box, with door. But beneath it, there is a lot of space that can be used. Battery storage for auxillary power? Customized potable water storage? What else?

Last week I got hit by a log that flew off a vehicle ahead of me. The vehicle kept going. I couldn't stop, or swerve. Damaged the lower (plastic) grille of my Maverick hybrid. Replacement of grille is upwards of $1,200. I began thinking of better ways to use that money. Here's what I'm...

I really looked forward to adding a DC/AC inverter to my Maverick. Now, I think a bank of roof-mounted photoelectric cells and storage battery would be a more durable, more powerful solution.

Yeah, that was how it started for my '23 hybrid. It took about 3 months in the shop, plus FORD corporate involvement. LOTS of false leads. Finally, they replaced the whole tranmission. Twice, actually. The first one had an unnoticed crack in the case. FORD spent about $17,000 to correct...

I've had that problem and still do. Bought '23 new on 28 Oct 23. Stopped in traffic on 9 April 24. Towed to dealer. Waiting for wiing harness. Several screw-ups. Ready on 1 June 24! Yay! 42 days in shop. Today, 3 June 24, drove less than 20 miles and she stopped again in traffic. Had...

Something about a faulty wiring harness associated with the transmission. The part is said to be "currently unavailable." I have no more information. Tomorrow --- finally --- they will be settting me up with a loaner. It is a Bronco. I'm still out over $650 vehicle payment for last month...

I get 48-50 mpg. Besides, EcoBoost not available on truck. I want the problem fixed --- permanently; not run off and take something second-best.

My Maverick Hybrid (new on 28 Oct 23) has been in the shop for 28 days so far. Won't tell me the exact problem. Did say they ordered the wrong replacement part. Reordered it. Today they said the part was on back-order. Then, later I got an email saying the part was "not currently...

I was able to see the mechanic today. I actually needed a tool box which remained in the Maverick, and while fetching it, the mechanic and I talked. It appears he has NOT been tearing apart the transmission. He is going through things methodically, bit by bit. He said he had just finished...

In the shop now. Two recalls. Trivial to what I -- and others -- have experienced.

Yet the Ford mechanic is tearing the transmission apart. I didn't know anything about battery types until I started reading this forum thread. Do you suppose it was a battery problem? Doesn't make much sense, though.
