Engine runaway at startup

[Robot-Wrangler]

For the second time at start my Maverick engine went to beyond full throttle to redline and bouncing off the rev limiter. This time it lit the check engine light. The next time it happens, I'm walking away and letting it self destruct on YouTube. There are too many unsafe bugs on this truck and I've lost confidence driving it. I'm looking to trade for an Equinox EV.

Are you driving when this happens? My Maverick hybrid rarely immediately fires the ICE when I push the start button. Usually after I start driving unless I sit for awhile, I don't use remote start. Have you had the dealer check it out?

I assume it's had all the software updates performed ?? But bottom line, if you've lost confidence in it, your better off trading it for something else that you feel will give you peace of mind and confidence. Good Luck in whatever you decide is best for you!

Sounds annoying. I suppose the selling dealership isn’t offering any assistance? Does your State have lemon laws if they cannot find a solution?
