Maverick issues; lawsuit? Class Action???

[Leand60]

I agree that a class action lawsuit is required for Maverick owners. After 2800 flawless miles a hail storm rained down dropping golf ball sized hail on the hood of my Maverick and dented it in several places.

Do I blame Mother Nature for this? NO! It has to be the soft aluminum hood that Ford put on the Maverick. Soft glass, soft paint, and now a soft hood!

Just for reference it really did hail here and it was large enough to dent the hood on my Maverick.....sigh.

I got my maverick about a month ago and wouldn't you know it, there was an air bag light on and it had to go back to the dealer who had it for a week fixing it. It was also shifting hard and getting poor mileage and it seemed like there was something wrong with the transmission. The service techs reset the transmission so it would learn to shift again. I had to drive a loaner while they fixed all the problems under warranty. The air bag light went off and the transmission shifts normally.

THEN, I had to take it on a fairly long trip and was on the road for more than 8 hours. When I got in the car and started it, it turned over with no problem but then it kept running. I kept thinking it was going to die on my but it kept running no problem.

THEN I went to connect my phone via android auto and it hooked right up without trouble. The map displayed on the screen and the navigation information correctly. Thought for sure the radio was going to mess up but nope, it played music while the navigation was running. I was even able to make phone calls over the system.

The mav ran ok but when we got to our destination I was low on gas. After filling up and calculating the mileage manually, I discovered that the on screen mpg display was accurate within a tenth of a mile. The tires held the correct pressure and the onscreen display was accurate for that, too.

Finally, when we were heading home it got dark and I had to put the headlights on. Little did I know the automatic high beams would work perfectly. So frustrating.

So the question is, how can I raise a stink online and threaten Ford with legal action if they fix every problem promptly under warranty and everything else just works? Is there some sort of law I can use to file a suit?

Are you causing trouble lol

^^^^Hail scares me too. Sorry that happened to you.

No need to be sorry these things happen.
And just an FYI to anyone who reads my first post. I'm being facetious just like @Decayed is with starting this thread. I don't blame Ford for what happened.

Ouch!! Recall, many, many years ago, finishing a tour of Coors, when it sounded like kids throwing rocks at car. Was actually baseball size hail stones!!

July 28, Estes Park, CO.
Major storm, drop a FOOT of hail!!

It’s not a hood. It’s a bonnet!

My biggest problem is that every once in a while I reach for the fan control knob on my XLT when parking instead of the gear shift knob. I look around to see if anyone notice my stupidity and swear to do better next time.

if the problems are reoccurring. You could file for lemon law.

In all seriousness that really sucks and I had it happen to me on my old nissan. The insurance agent said you could track the path of the storm by the addresses of people filing claims. The top of the car looked like a golf ball.

No Canadians in this thread. They talk funny and it's weird.

I turn the shift knob the wrong way and it doesn't even have a stop to tell you when you've turned it far enough.

The kind of poor design is going to get someone killed. You in on this b*tch or what?
