No easy solution to this despite what some speculate other than you have to drive it X amount of miles every 2-3 days or so. I have the 25 MY now after having previously owned a 22 and a 24. The battery saver mode issue is here to stay so you may as well just adapt to it. I've had it in for...

Glad to hear it Norman. Many of the members here have been through this mess already so it's nice to know our miserable experience has saved you from dealing with your own.

From my previous battery saver mode experience with a '24 Lariat hybrid may I suggest the following: call the service department at your dealership, explain the issue and make an appointment. They are not going to just take your word for it, they will follow a required testing procedure and...

I'm really happy for those who found or were offered solutions to the 12v battery charging issue in the hybrid. But the truth is for some owners a fix remains interminably elusive. For this group, altering your behavior and accepting the band-aid application of a trickle charger on a regular...

Been there, done that with a 24 Lariat hybrid. They eventually gave up and it ended in a buyback. It was a real good time. Hopefully you didn't get yours at auction because that's where they end up.

If your truck goes into battery saver mode the FordPass app will be rendered useless. On my previous '24 Lariat that was just about every 24 hours.

The Flintstones look really good but I just don't need the extra choline. If I get any smarter I'll just get into trouble

It's clear to me there is an invasion of engine cover snatchers out there. At least until my gummy wears off

Seattle is a bit out of my way but I would take care of shipping. But I think you're still required to follow the 5 rules for merch on this forum, free or not.

The all digital touch controls, especially for climate adjustments on my '25 Lariat pretty much suck. But here is what makes little sense: you cannot access certain settings adjustments in the instrument panel cluster display such as tire pressure etc. while moving (for safety concerns) BUT, if...

So maybe not exactly an exhaust "leaK" but an exhaust issue anyway. That's a weird one. Glad they found it and the warranty is a bonus.

I used to get flashed by those high beams occasionally, but now I'm in my 60s and hair is getting gray. Sadly it just doesn't happen anymore.

The second audio recording hints at a small exhaust leak. I would get it on a lift and do a closer inspection in that area while running it.

Just from an empirical standpoint, I can make the assumption that Ford has changed something. My 22 XLT hybrid experienced battery saver mode issues frequently, leading to battery replacement 3 times over 18 months. No cause was ever determined. Exhausted, I traded it in for a new 24 Lariat...

There is certainly no harm in initiating a buyback application and opening a communication thread with Ford's RAV department. Review the details of your state's specific lemon law to see if you currently qualify. If the dealer does not fulfill its commitment to properly repair your vehicle in...

If you are referring to me Surfstar, I didn't suggest anything. The OP stated he had already been approved for the buyback. That option fortunately exists for those owners who have exhausted everything else. Not quite sure what's so funny.

Sorry to hear that, what a PITA. But I think applying for the buyback is a good idea at this point. You will very likely receive the full amount as stated on the original purchase agreement plus tax and any interest you may have incurred if you financed. Best of luck to you.

Forget the mileage, forget who drove it before you on a test drive and farted in the seat whatever. What was the DTC?

Your insurance carrier will have some input. It's not a free-for-all.

My 25 starts the A/C almost all the time which is annoying enough, but sometimes it will turn on the heated seats at the same time. All that despite choosing "last known settings."Now figure that one out.
