Bad experience with ford and drive train issues

Internet just dies. All tvs waiting for packets computer waiting, cell phones have to disconnect from router and reconnect on cell network. It's like gammers or high bandwidth users are pushing me down priority list so my response time gets too long. Might go several weeks between occurrences and then happen several times a day. I have no fiber optic available at home. Router connects to 5G tower 5.2 miles away and/or 4G-lte extended range tower about 9 miles (I think). Been thinking about putting router in attic with antenna sticking through roof. Three TV two cells and computer on two strength bar max signal actually works pretty well for $50/mo. Come to think about it day before yesterday was rainy and visibility was down to about 1/2 mile.

If it's wireless home internet from a cell tower, you are likely being deprioritized. Deprioritization will slow you down during busy traffic periods if the tower is having capacity issues.
Mobile phone customers with priority data plans get first dibs on that data. All the other customers get what's left.

It explains that in your plan's TOS.

I have in the last week noticed that internet has been so slow at times it can take two minutes to get a response when clicking on "post reply". Twice I had to reboot my router to regain service. Maybe he has that happening or?

Yes. Where I work our warehouse is part of a trucking company. Several weeks ago the owner stopped by and was complaining of a slow internet speed at the main office and wanted to see how the warehouse connection was. A short while later after talking to his IT contractor he was told that his website or server was under constant "attack" from a site in China. I have no idea where or if that is actually the case and your not the first one to notice this.

Our home connection has been markedly slower over the same time frame as well.

Took my truck to a dealer because it was shaling while driving. I went to have the tires checked balanced and rotated twice before take to ford service. While the tires were off second time I noticed it looke dlike fluid was leaking from drivers side front axle area. I informed the dealer service advisor of this when i dropped it off and left it all day to be looked at and diagnose the problem.

after work i went to pick it up and they informed me that the passenger side cv boot axle needs replacing. They said they ordered the part and it will arrive in a few days. I took it back to have it removed and replaced. Upon picking up the truck the second time after they replaced the passenger side axle they informed me that the technician noticed a leak on the drivers side - the one I told them was leaking when i dropped it off the first time- and that they ordered the opart and it would arrive in a couple weeks and that my maverick was safe to drive in the mean time.

Three weeks later they do not have the part and do not know when it will be in. At this point i was pissed of and not wanting to drive my truck that shakes when accelerating. I called ford and the dealer numerous times. The parts person wanted me to pay extra to buy it from a dealer even though its under warranty. i said no. I decided to go to the dealer when the service manager would not take my calls or call me back.

The service manager drove my truck and said he thinks it was misdiagnosed and is actually something wrong with the rear axle but they need to troubleshoot it. This evening i dropped it off to be looked at to determine the issue tomorrow. They provided me a loaner car.

I will keep y'all informed

What year is your maverick?

Had this happen on my driver's side CV. Happened at about 20k miles for me. The part took months to come in and I drove about another 5k with it shaking like that until it came in. Scariest couple months of my life, especially the way I typically drive.

It's only been repaired for about a month right now. So far, so good. I'll update if any new issues with them come up.

Did you have to replace tires with early wear?
