I had a similar experience with the update as well, truck wouldn't turn off the gas engine until I reached my destination, it was only 3.5km but it would have normally shut off from a cold start 1/2 that way. My range on my tank also halfed to what it was.
The truck only did the engine thing...
Seeing you've done this long term battery disconnect, do you know how to lock up the vehicle with no battery in it? Yes the drivers door has a key, but without a battery the rest of the doors won't lock.
You got better results than I did, when mine did that (twice now), jump box did nothing. Disconnecting the ground from the battery and reconnecting reset everything and all was well again.
Yes my battery was low, and it did it both times after sitting over night and going for a short drive...
Thanks, so I don't have those holes in my body panels, so if it's electricly/software capable of being upgrade, holes will need to appear in precise places.
Thanks again!
Ah, I guess another annoying difference between the Lariat and XLT+Lux Package. I would have gone Lariat, but I wanted Cloth seats, and I wanted 17" wheels. Paying extra for those things wasn't going to happen. I do wonder if there could be an add on of front sensors for the XLT (2025)...
It still baffles me why Ford put backup camera and rear parking sensors, but no front parking sensors? If they had done rear backup camera and front sensors, that would have made more sense. Or heck both front and rear parking sensors... my 2017 Accord came with both front and back.
I...
Well, I've got the data, so I'll show you what is going on, i've graphed 12pm EST yesterday to now (4:47pm EST today). Those two dips were the only dips the truck has done. Temperature today at 5am was -25c and it's -6c now so doesn't appear to be influced much if any by temperture. I...
Ok, first thanks to all contributing interesting information, seems there are likely multiple possible issues to the Maverick's battery drain issues that people have been experiencing.
Update on the dealer call today. They at this point won't look at the truck. As I've reset the computer by...
Ok, so as you mentioned back to your questions.
So as per my last response, I don't see the light on the AC being on, but is it still on if I have it pointing only to the windows (defrost?) I have not turned on max defrost or anything like that.
No they did not do any software upates, I'll...
No I actually don't use the HVAC in the winter for the most part, I'm also the weirdo driving around with the temperature at Lo, and fan on the defrost section only at low... when it's -10c and lower out. I do love the heated seats and steering wheel.
So, even with the battery replaced. Yesterday, it happened again, slightly different start, after a short drive (3km) went into the store for 10 minutes, came out started the truck, started driving and got the alert stop as soon as possible. I noticed that the gas engine wasn't running and...
Well, surprise but no surprise, the 12v battery failed all their tests. They replaced it and aggreated all the issues as that is the problem. They probably are not wrong.
But eating a 12v AGM battery every 6 months doesn't sound like fun. It' a '25 so it came with an AGM battery...
You're right, the Mav is my newest vehicle. My next which I still have is my Accord which is a Hybrid, a 2017 and it's been incredibly reliable over the 8 years I've owned it. The entertainment system has some stupid bugs, but the rest of the car is solid.
I would expect software to be...
Ok, went to the grocery store today, 4km trip each way, it's -13c and snowing. Easy drive, no issues.
Finish shopping, get into the mav and start it, it gives me every warning it could, everything was locked out and wouldn't start. Turned off, waited, tried again, repeat 3 more times...
Brake Coach (I have a '25 hybrid so not sure its on earlier years) basically gives you a score up to 100% energy recovered during braking. i.e if you can come to a complte stop using the regen you get the best score. it pops up (like most ford PIA notifications) so I've turned off. I've been...
Brrrr. I had to go out in -14c to check. Yup the truck and the app are aligned, 97%.
I'll put it on the list of minor annoyances for the next dealer visit.
Thanks
Andrew
I"ve been monitoring my maverick the past couple of weeks, I don't drive every day, and it's cold out right now so it goes into battery save mode quickly (max 2 days). Most times it doesn't even tell me now. I come out the cabin lights don't come on. It's always started so I haven't...
Yup it's definitely cleared, including in the app, but it did leave an archive of the error in the message list. I've made a note of it and will track over time if there are further events. I'm going to skip the dealer treatment, I suspect they'd just do a scan, find nothing and send me on...
