Well, I have a fun little story. So I order my XLT Maverick Hybrid pretty early, and it finally came in late December. I was on school break, so I had to wait until January 4th to pick it up. I was super stoked when I finally picked it up! Months of anticipation and scrolling through pics on this forum finally led me to this day! So I finished all the paperwork got the keys and drove to Natomas Area in Sacramento to show it off to some family. I picked my mom up to go to Costco, and as we were leaving from Costco, I saw this "Engine Coolant Over Temperature" alert. Turned into a CEL about 2 miles later, and I have been without a car for over a week. Fortunately it broke down right in front of another dealership, but I missed my cousin's basketball game that night and a whole bunch of other stuff over the week because I've been without a car. Apparently, I have a bad cylinder head temperature sensor. They actually got the new part in yesterday but called me up to tell me that the new part was bad as well, so I have to wait possibly another week before it gets fixed. Drove it less than 50 miles, and it already broke down. My friend said that you know the truck is a Ford because the hood is always up, so I'm really hoping I didn't drop 26K on a total P.O.S. I really hope this pickup doesn't have a million more problems later down the road, because I really had high hopes for it.
