It sounds like you’re having buyers remorse for purchasing your Maverick and you're trying to build a case that your xl is a lemon so that Ford will buy it back at full price, instead of you having to pay the depreciation to trade it in a on new car with better seats, better stereo and better acceleration?

If so, you should try to make claims to Ford that your Maverick is a safety hazard, like it is randomly shutting down on the freeway while driving, possibly endangering you or your family’s lives. That will light a fire under them to help you get it bought back without having to lose your pants in depreciation.
He was on the F-150 forum a couple days ago asking how comfortable the seats are in them and was complaining about His Maverick seats just like He did on Here!!

Immediately take it to the dealership. Have someone from the dealership ride with you while it's malfunctioning if possible. It's a lot easier for them to diagnose while it's acting up. To be honest, I've never heard of this issue before. But based on your complaint, the service engine soon or wrench light should have come on by now. At any rate take it in to the dealership ASAP.

Annnnnnnnnd.........he's gone.
Maybe he finally found comfy seats, a vehicle with Apple CarPlay, and 1 with an E-brake that didn't keep setting itself on while attempting to move the vehicle. I guess we will never know if he found true happiness in the automotive world or not.

Thanks for the follow up. I wasn’t following that thread. I initially saw the link to a YouTube video and multiple comments about him trolling, so I didn’t watch the video or comment. 🤣
Wow, I never saw THAT post of his but I sure see why he’s banned after reading it!!!

I kind of thought his posts and the ribbing back and forth were entertaining for a while. But did eventually find them lacking both in good information and entertainment value, generally a waste of time. The way the last thread got so derespectful was disgusting.

Trade or sell it like you had posted earlier. In your first thread
Trading in XL Maverick with under 5k miles.
"Uncomfortable Seats / Speakers awful (XL model)"
It's not worth being uncomfortable in the seats.

Second thread.
'Sensitive parking brake?"
Having the troubles with the brakes.

Fourth thread
'Car smells like smoke when I’m driving."
And now it not running correctly bad / slow acceleration. After that experience. Can you ever trust it?

Maybe the Maverick just isn't the vehicle for you.
What is your problem? I asked a question. Either share input on that focus or don’t answer. This thread won’t be hijacked and turned into the topic it wasn’t about in the first place like the others were.
Yes Sir,🫡
No offense or hijacking intended.
I was just reminding you of your first post. Saying that you were selling your Maverick with 5000 miles.

I'll bet you still have it.

Oh wait......never mind.
