Ford should be instructing dealers to contact all customers who had the software updates done in the affected time window. URGENTLY. They are driving Zombie vehicles and many will find out the hard way, some harder than others.

Probably not targeted at the Hybrid then, if it also affects Bronco. More likely an Ecoboost recall which still leaves all these Hybrid owners to play the "when will my rig die and maybe take me with it" game.

Yes, if it is emissions related they do keep track and you must prove it was done in order to renew registration

CV axle going bad like so many others

"When this condition is present, can occur the engine Start/Stop feature (if equipped) disabling." What kind of ChinEglish is that? Very uninspiring...

If you have a Mav Hybrid and a coolant leak or smell of burning coolant, the very first place you should check is the heat exchanger. It is hard to believe these dealer techs do not have access to (or do not bother to check) a factory knowledge base.

If you're asking me how the #1 most American Made, American content, American Engineered truck is holding up compared to the most Mexican-made truck - well let's just say the doors aren't falling off 🤡...

You bought the most Mexican made truck. Expect less, not more, and you'll never be disappointed (y)

Get back to us at 19k miles. You can necro post here again :rolleyes:

How many miles on the truck? I'd say everyone with a Maverick should take a look at their hinges asap, and keep an ongoing eye out for anything unusual. Better to catch it while you still have a warranty!

The failed exchangers leak when pressurized, which doesn't happen unless the vehicle has been running. normal exhaust condensate doesn't leave a puddle. A few drops, yes. A puddle - no. OP check the coolant reservoir.

Heat exchanger is likely cracked. It is right there and everyone else who reported this had a failed heat exchanger / exhaust auxiliary heater Here is a thread or two, there are more...

19k seems to be the magic number this week https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/well-19k-miles-and-now-my-hybrid-shakes-sometimes-violently-during-acceleration-and-a-whole-host-of-issues.39005/

I am surprised the boot is serviceable, usually a bad boot requires replacement of the whole shaft assembly unless you use a janky aftermarket split boot. If it were me I'd start asking questions.

You are. Most reports on this forum are stock trucks, and there are a lot of them. Threads and posts abound on this subject... If it was just one report, I would link you to it to save (my own) face. But there are so many, I'm not going to link to them, to save you the embarrassment.

There are many reports of Mav Hybrids with CV Axle problems, and as noted the problem is exacerbated by a lift. But it happens to plenty of stock trucks too.

That has nothing to do with the problem being discussed here

It's the dedicated Triple-A card holder.

That sounds like a CV Axle problem, and you can find many other reports in the "issues" subforum
