Similar, but not the same. The only lights that go on are the wrench and check engine and vehicle doesn't restart, just turns off ICE portion. It stays in the 'limp home' mode even after restarting and/or disconnecting 12v battery.
Very... I was planning on keeping the truck after the last fix. I was willing to give Ford the benefit of the doubt and assume the issue was a hiccup during manufacturing. But clearly there's deeper issues here and I can't have a brand new vehicle where I have to constantly worry about losing engine power, especially on longer trips.
FWIW your issue sounds like the same one that many experienced after the older botched recalls. The new recall to fix the recall I've heard has been OK.
That's what I thought too, but the truck has had all the recalls completed. And believe the dealer also re-flashed and updated everything again previously.
Was this recently as in, in the past two weeks? IIRC the updated recall, recall came out at the beginning of June.
It's been at a dealer for nearly 1.5months now. I also specially ask that all recall updates be done last time I dropped off.... But I guess there's a chance they just didn't do it haha. Although I doubt that wouldn't be the first thing the Ford Engineers would've tried.
The ICE is actually a Ford / Mazda design that is 20+ years old. It has been a reliable engine since around 1999, and many including me have had this engine on the Ford Escape. Mazda still uses a variant of this engine on the Mazda 3 and other models. The tranny is based on a AISIN / Toyota design. So both the engine and tranny are collaborations with well known and highly thought of companies.
What are Carvana, Carmax, dealer buyback numbers? With high resale values consider getting this Maverick off your plate without the longer and expensive attorney process of lemon buyback.
