How bad are these electronics issues?

[commadorebob]

Look online for the manual restart procedure for the infotainment system for your particular Mav. I've had mine for over three years now, and I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to force a reboot. Sometimes computers glitch. My wife's Expedition runs Android Automotive and I've even had to do a hard reboot of it once. So, it isn't just Ford.

I doubt the issues described are due to software errors, because if that were true, everyone with the same version would have the same problem, and they don't.

Glitches OTOH are one of the common consequences of computer controlled anything.
How many times have you had to reboot a computer or phone?
The modern car is a computer on wheels as much as it is a mechanical device.

Glitch causes can be external (cosmic ray changes a memory location) but in this case, it might be a loose connection somewhere in the harness.

Unfortunately, unless the problem can be replicated, it is impossible to find and correct the cause without a big dose of luck.

The good news is a reboot will usually resolve a glitch, but it won't resolve a software problem.

This one is on you. There have been dozens of similar comments about this. You are in fact pushing the MANUAL door lock lever (not the electric door lock button) when you pulled on the door lever to exit the vehicle. By doing so, when you exited the vehicle, you proceeded to manually lock just the driver's door. The problem is not the vehicle. The problem is yourself not being careful when exiting the vehicle.

Yeah, I agree! This comment I was mostly just throwing out for general information. But note what I was saying:

If you go to lock your vehicle, say after it has been there for a while, and you are shutting down for the night... And you open the door, but don't let go of the OUTSIDE door handle when you reach in to hit the door lock button, the door lock function seems to be messed up.

But as to what you are telling me... The only door lock button I know of is the button on the door with the "Door Lock" symbol on it. You are saying there is another one? Or are you saying I should use the fob to lock the truck?

Sounds like you should not be holding the outside door handle up while you are trying to lock the door....

Welcome to the club. My 3month old has similar issues. I took mine to the dealer and the service writer just laughed at me and said that Mavericks all have these issues. My 2024 Subaru has zero issues, my old Ram that I traded in had none. I have a 1995 Miata and it has zero issues. I’m disappointed and disgusted with Ford.

I have not had any problems with my 2025, except when the sensors were covered with ice. Sounds like a trip to the dealer is in order and hope it blacks out for them.

I would hate for Ford to release the source code! Too many people would make changes and reload it. There are too many safety issues with allowing people to change their code. I was an IT professional for over 30 years with half of that as a programmer and I wouldn't feel comfortable changing the code on my truck. That is a "Hey, y'all, watch this!" moment waiti.g to happen!

Yup. After that one time - never again!

Why in the heck are you reaching back in to lock your door? Can't you just touch the top of your outside door handle to lock your Maverick?

I'm not referring to the electronic lock/unlock buttons on the driver's inside door, I'm referring to the small manual lock lever that is side by side with the door handle lever that you pull to open the driver's door from the inside. You are accidentally bumping that lever which locks just that door but does nothing to the other 3 doors.

You got it. And thank @Glen Baker LLC because he is usually Johnny on the spot with that pic.

I have had issues with the screen and navigation system also. A reboot by holding on off radio button and fast forward button for 10 seconds has always cured the issue.

When I park at home, I don't always lock the truck - I seem to be in and out of it a lot! So, end of day, I've changed into more comfortable clothes, not carrying keys, fob, watch, phone, etc - and realize I need to lock the truck for the night! THAT's when I do that.

THAT's the kind of response I was looking for! People HAVE had some of these issues, and the workaround is relatively simple! Thanks!

Note you talked to a "service writer". Translation is someone who knows nothing about any vehicle on the lot but is a whiz on filling out computer forms and scheduling. You need no knowledge to write a repair order and upsell the customer. Maybe the difference is sync3 to sync4 but I don't have any display issues except sometimes the Sirius channels take a few seconds to show their icons. That is more likely a satellite issue not a display issue.
