Is Ford fixing little problems as year models change

[ATXTACOS]

I wonder how many MTC, Reddit and Facebook CV post are cross posts? Someone should start a poll "Have you had to have your CV axles replaced?". "How many Miles?", " Is your suspension modified?"

We have had hundreds of reports of CV axle failures over the past 3 years. No recall. Some people are on their second or third set of axles in under 100,000 mi.

The dashboard rattle fix took 3 years to be available. And the fix is for 2WD units only, as if the "AWD dashboards" don't rub and squeak.

The windshield alignment rattle/tapping was never acknowledged in a TSB or recall.

The software updates left certain people stranded, cutting power to the truck in traffic and putting them and their families in harm's way.

The battery drain and poor 12v batteries have kind of been acknowledged. Still not fixed.

There will be fixes for some of these things, but other issues will crop up.

The CV axles were very recently redesigned. This was in response to issues with them. We've discussed this in this thread. It looks to be longer, and beefier in side by side comparisons.

They don't seem to have fixed software issues with the entertainment system.

If I remember from the info that I learned over the years.
Some issues would be fixed, In the next MY's redesigns.
Also, as parts suppliers change, that could solve a few more problems.

Most of the issues (as far as I am seeing it) are software (computer) related.
(Camera, Battery...).

I will have my MY22, for two years now (in a few weeks).
And being used to all those "Analog" Rangers that I have had in the past.
I have been keeping a watchful eye on any thing that seems out of the ordinary.
Now that I have a "Digital" Maverick...

There have been two polls to date. 100's have not responded here.

CV axles = supposedly fixed with updated parts
Camera recall = in the works
12v battery drain = SSM only (no recall). in the works as well.

25MY, will have new issues and they will try to fix as they go.
New infotainment for the maverick....will likely have some bugs.

What makes you think those are controlled polls?
Again hundreds is a minimal #. Maybe you're guessing is accurate but it's still a guess so there's that.


Saying that because without doubt and with all certainty there are posters on multiple websites/socialmedia who are repeating themselves over and over again!

Need to have controlled numbers to find accurate statistics.

We ordered a '25 Mav hybrid in August to replace our '22 equivalent. Going to be mighty pissed if the same battery/charging problems we had for the last three years are still there in the '25 version.

I saw some 25MY window stickers and the same battery saver feature seems to be listed on them....

it’s not new infotainment, it’s sync 4 which has been around for a long time with Ford.

The infotainment issues present in 22-24 mavericks are sync “2.5” and sync 3 - stale and dated technology that is the root of the back up camera and freezing issues.

They can have the feature; I just don't want that translated into a constantly drained starter battery. Supposedly Ford engineers were working on a software fix for this specific problem. Not sure if it will be finished for the new '25s being built right now, like ours.

Are we 100% sure? Until someone can do a side by side comparison of old v new with removing the boot and seeing what the internals are we don’t know for sure they’ve fixed a thing.

Stay close to a latrine.
