About two years ago, the engine in my wife's 2018 Tuscon with well under 60K miles failed in a similar fashion. The engine was replaced under warranty at no cost to us, but it was very disappointing to say the least. We traded it last fall for a 2025 Mazda, we didn't even consider looking at a...

I spoke with the dealer later in the day yesterday, and he said he had three higher-end Mavericks move out to 03/24 (he didn't define "higher-end"), mine being one of them. He indicated he's spoken with his contact at Ford, and they couldn't, or wouldn't, explain the change. The dealer said he...

I also received a revised date yesterday, but my date went the other way, for the third time. The original date was the week of 02/10, then it move to week of 02/24, then 03/10, and now the latest is 03/24. I surmise this may be due to supply chain issues for particular components, though I...

We have messy winters with salt, slush, snow, etc., so I remove the carpeted mats for the winter. From about November through March I'm using WeatherTech to avoid messing up the carpeted mats.

Same thing here, with no email from Ford. I do have the VIN number, which I got from the dealer. I'm not messing around though... even though I'm a Ford person from way back, if Ford can't get it together reasonably soon, I'll move on and look for something else. Probably a Tacoma, even...

An excellent perspective, complete and honest. Thank you for taking the time to compose this!

I'm expecting my '25 XLT in two months or so, and I've been considering floor mat options. I installed new WeatherTech mats, front and rear, in my current Focus and I haven't been particularly pleased with them. Both the driver and front passenger mats de-laminated around the edges within two...

I also had my order moved from the week of Feb 10 to Feb 24. Perhaps it's a material availability issue, but that's pure conjecture on my part. Doesn't really make much difference to me, though.

If you're referring to the Hyundai warranty, the power train was, and I believe still is, 10yrs/100K miles.

We intended to buy a 2018 Escape as my wife had been driving Escapes for years and we were trading in her 2010 model we bought from the same dealer. However, the dealer wasn't able to match the price on the Tuscon, not even close, to the tune of $4K more. When I asked the dealer why we should...

We bought my wife a new 2018 Tuscon, and in June of '23 the engine totally failed at 50K miles (I understand an issue with main bearing failure). Hyundai replaced the engine under warranty with no hassles as the dealer did all the maintenance from day one. However, just this past October we...

No, I'm not going to store it. By March, especially late March, the winter here is (usually) appreciably over except for occasional bouts of snow which typically don't stay. Once I take delivery, I'll just keep it clean.

I had the same situation, ordered in August but I told the dealer I didn't want delivery until at least late winter, preferably early spring to avoid the salt (Michigan). He did whatever he needed to do regarding the order and my '25 is scheduled to be built in early February with an...

I received the same email today also, same week of production... Feb 10. I ordered a reasonably well-equipped XLT, AWD hybrid, ruby red. I actually placed the order with the dealer in early August when the order banks went live, but I asked the dealer to hold the order as I didn't want to...

Indeed, dealing with salt in Michigan is a reality. In terms of where I'm located, I'm quite a bit further south of you, SW of Grand Rapids about 35 miles or so, within about five miles of Lake Michigan. We typically use a car wash and get our vehicles washed at least weekly, more often if...

It's not initially getting it home from the dealer that's the concern, but rather the Maverick will be my daily driver. Consequently, once picked up it will be regularly exposed to the salt.

I realize there are folks here who may not appreciate my perspective on this topic. I ordered a reasonably well-equipped 2025 Maverick XLT when the order banks opened in early August. I was contacted last week by the salesperson, who shared that my order was in "per-scheduling" (I believe that...

Actually, I would have preferred to order the bed liner from Ford. However, the dealer indicated that bed enhancement factory add-ons, such as covers, liners, etc., often extend lead time. He advised getting the liner added locally so I didn't order it. If anyone has actual experience with...

XLT, AWD hibrid, most major options except towing package (don't tow)... that is, I got the lux package, Ford360, etc. Ruby red metallic, standard interior. Going to have a spray on bed liner and hard tri-fold tonneau added either by the dealer of locally. I have an observation regarding...

I'm now on my third set of clutches since I've owned the car, which is eight years. It's out of extended warranty and though it's starting to show signs of failing again, shuddering under acceleration, I'm hoping it holds together long enough for me to move it along. I will inform the new...
