Same here. Never take the truck in early but merely wait until I take it in for service and for them to look it over. Doesn't seem to bother the truck not having the recalls done quickly.

I'm 70 years old and performed many oil changes over the years on many different vehicles. Never had a oil plug go bad, ever. Just easier to collect the oil under the car, letting gravity do its thing.

Well played, sir, well played.

My concern as well. It is open for a reason.

Yep. After three Ford Motorcraft batteries were replaced by the dealer, I gave up and bought a Diehard last year. No problems since.

Simple answer; carry a jump charger. And as I have stated in other posts, I believe the real problem is the Ford Motorcraft batteries. Went through three defective ones quickly with the dealership before replacing it on my own nickel with a Diehard. We came back recently after traveling for...

I have one battery pack in the Mav and one in the F-150; different brand. No need to spend this much since there are much cheaper alternatives, and they all work pretty much the same.

My sentiments exactly. We have three outstanding recalls on our 2022 Mav Hybrid right now. Two are software mods that can wait until the next service appt, and the other is 25S27 that requires parts that are not yet in large supply. We'll be notified when they can do that one.

We did the letters as well last year on our silver Mav hybrid. Makes a huge difference in appearance. And they are surprisingly durable with great sticking ability.

Yep, you answered your own question. Not economically viable for Ford since there aren't enough of us older guys and gals that even know how to operate a stick (most, but not all, Millennials and Gen Zers wouldn't touch them). Our last one was a Ford Escort wagon that my 5' tall wife loved...

We live in TN and have some steep descents on I-40 that go on for miles. Our Mav hybrid has been great at keeping the speed constant, unlike our traditional F-150 that likes to run away with itself. You should be pleased with how it works on your mountain passes as well.

There is a lot of history in prior posts here on the starting issues. The vast majority, in my experience, are related to the Motorcraft batteries that Ford has been using (I'm talking the under the back seat battery that is needed for starting). We had very similar issues as we cycled through...

No surprise on the Maverick or the F-150. We have each and are very pleased.

Starting to see more and more Mavs in our travels. But if they still only manufacturing something like 60K per year, and we are into our third year of production, 120-180K units on the road aren't many.

One other thing that might help - turn off all those Ford apps that are doing nothing for you, and just letting Ford track you for their own purposes. I don't care about their automatic downloads; when a new update comes out I'll turn that app back on, download it, turn it back off. Those apps...

The Ford Motorcraft batteries had a large number of defective ones since 2022. If they keep putting those in you will be dead again in the not too distant future. After the local dealer put in three different Motorcraft batteries that were s--t, I gave up and bought my own non-Ford battery...

We are a solid Ford family as well. Bought our 2012 F-150 new and added our 2022 Ford Maverick hybrid to the family as well. While not looking to add another Maverick like yourselves, we are thinking about adding a Mustang. Time will tell.

So far so good, J-Dub. I think we may have had to use the battery starter once but otherwise it is has been good to go. In fact it just sat for another 14 days in a cruise parking garage and when we got back it started right up fine. As for a permanent fix, not sure if anyone has an absolute...

Well stated. And sincere condolences on your loss. She was fortunate to have you there for her when she was most vulnerable.

While picking up our Mav hybrid this morning after express service, I noticed a used Maverick for sale on the lot. First time seeing one in that situation in our town. In the past there have only been new ones and they were all already sold.
