I need help with a weird sound my truck is making. It happens after the engine turns back on from electric mode and it sounds like a fan or something hitting something else. Like something metallic knocking around or grinding on something. It only happens at street speeds. It's not the noise...
UPDATE: Truck was towed in to the dealer. All tests revealed low voltage on the 12v battery, the same thing I have been fighting with for the last year. It turns out that the latest recall made it to where instead of being able to jump my frequently dead battery, it just bricks the entire truck...
That's what I've been hearing as well. Tow truck just picked it up to take it to the dealership and it'll get looked at in the morning. I'll post updates here if there are any.
Just wanted to let everyone know that the recalls that were supposedly updated to no longer cause trucks to go into limp mode are indeed still causing trucks to go into limp mode. I posted here a few weeks ago about being hesitant to let my dealer do all of the recalls because of all of the...
Does anyone know if Ford has changed or fixed the software updates that have been causing Mavericks to go into limp mode? I guess you could call this a follow up to my last post about my consistent 12v battery problems, which I encourage anyone to read for more details.
Basically now my dealer...
Thank you for this thorough response. I greatly appreciate it. I've been on the fence about spending the money on an AGM but might just bite the bullet and give it a go. My father-in-law is a Ford mechanic and has access to Forscan so that won't be an issue.
Do you have a specific suggestion...
I posted here a while back about my Maverick Hybrid experiencing the dead battery issue. That was back in November 2023. I just wanted to update everyone and let them know that my truck has now been to the dealership a total of 5 times for this issue and it has yet to be solved.
The first time...
Yep. They already replaced the factory battery with a new one. 5 days later it was dead in my driveway once again. The battery drains to 0 overnight even after driving 40 plus miles home from work. Dropped it off 3 weeks ago and they say they can't find any cause after weeks of investigating...
My truck has been sitting at the dealership for almost 3 weeks for no start issues related to the 12v battery. The first time I took it in they said battery was bad and replaced it and sent me away. 5 days later it wouldn't start again so had it towed to the dealership. Apparently they can't...
I posted last week about my dead hybrid Maverick. I took it to the dealer and they did a bunch of software updates on it, checked a fuse and the wiring harness, and then replaced the battery. It seemed like the problem was solved until once again I came out to a dead truck yesterday morning.
I...
Update: Took it to the dealer last Wednesday. They did software updates and put in a new battery as old one was bad. Yesterday, not even 5 days later, it was dead again. I am so pissed.
Any updates? Have you had to jump it yet? I've only gotten the deep sleep message twice - both within a week - and the second time it was completely dead. Seems like I had a lot less warning time than others.
