Any Maverick owners with NO problems / issues so far?

[Bret Maverick]

Seeing all these threads from folks reporting all manner of problems. I was wondering how many people have taken delivery and have experienced no problems at all.

No problems whatsoever.

Keep in mind that ALL product-centric forums are pretty much full of problem reports and horror stories, since those who don't experience problems have nothing to post.

Thanks, BTW, Colorado has some beautiful scenery, was stationed at Lowry AFB many moons ago.

Reading the reviews on anything is a trap. People who hate products love to bad mouth and give it a 1 star. Few people want to rave about it and give it 5 stars. Everyone that is satisfied is not talking. Similar to a forum. Plenty of hype and some small to serious issues

I know I can’t remember all the issues but below are some of them. I would use it as a guide of things to keep an eye out for but not to stress over. Edit - these are from other owners on the MTC. I’m just summarizing them

Fuel tank recall - problem solved going forward
Seat belt recall - problem solved going forward

Paint chips (rocks)
broken front grill (probably a 🪨 rock)

Windshield cracked (rocks and warranty)

Transmission fluid overflowing (overfilled during build, Ford said this issue has been addressed)

Ford pass remote start on hybrids running rich and turning the CAT red hot is a computer issue that Ford needs to fix.

Various alignment issues from a few people. Should be an easy fix for any of them. I’ve heard steering wheel shakes at 70 MPH and truck pulls the right from two different people.

Half shaft and control arm squeak/leak - both got replaced under warranty.

Radio freezing - Ford said the fix is coming next week.

Various rattles from different components that got lose, easy fix for most of them so far.

Rain leaks into back door because of improper sealant behind door panel. Fixed by the dealer without issue.

poor sealant/weld where truck bed meets the windshield (bottom left/driver side). This is an eye sore more than an issue.

Hood shake that has numerous solutions.

Dead on Arrival. One hybrid has been DOA and status is unknown at this point. It’s sad but sometimes there is a dud.

Some people have noted that when they hit a deer, or semi truck their truck no longer functions.

edit -here is the link to a working spreadsheet with all the issues above and more.

Thanks! I had a commercial flatbed hit my VW years ago. That certainly caused some issues!

Thanks for putting this together all in one place.

Maybe I will do a thread later with all of them. I might think of more and others can add to it.

Great to hear! Thanks!

Had mine since 11.03 And no complaints what so ever.

I got to see a top of the line German car that tangled with an Elk back around 2000. All that German engineering had nothing on nature. Roof was flat to the head rests. From what I heard the Elk wasn't found around the crash site, but probably died later.

Almost 200 trouble free miles so far. Fingers crossed!
