Good information from you and all the others. Thanks. I'm sure you're right about the oil. I'm planning to check with the dealer for updates about remedies for the recalls, and I'll mention that. It might be cheaper to have them change the oil again (assuming they have hybrid specific oil)...

I took my 2022 Maverick XLT hybrid to one of those oil change places for a scheduled oil change. The people there showed me a beige creamy deposit on the inside of the oil filler cap and told me I probably had a blown head gasket. I've had this vehicle just over two years and driven it less...

Your experience is similar to mine. I "checked the box" when I built it online, but the person at the dealership who submitted the order (after collecting my $500 deposit) didn't do something right and the entire order was lost. I suppose I could have turned down the dealership's offer of a...

LOL. It's OK; I'm familiar with the nature of forums.

I agree.

I came to that conclusion after yesterday's experience. I'm waiting for a callback from the dealer's service department.

Thanks for the links, but apparently there's no solution.

I searched in vain for a thread that covered this topic, so I hope this isn't a duplicate. I ordered and received the hitch receiver from Ford Parts. It arrived with minimal instructions (mostly drawings) but installation appeared to be straightforward. Not at all. My son-in-law (who's pretty...

I didn't place my order for a hybrid XLT until 10/30, but the dealership/salesperson messed up and the order was never placed. Fortunately, the dealership had already ordered a virtually identical Maverick (Velocity Blue) with no designated customer back in June. They put me down as the owner...
