Maverick just went haywire!

[TCPTX65]

Pulled out of the driveway and went about a block and the truck started dinging and the dash display started to go haywire.

The first warning was "passenger sensor blocked". I've seen this before because I keep a lot of stuff in the passenger seat and it's no big deal to me. Then the fun began.

Then I got the message about the pre-collision assist not available (which I've seen before when there is moisture on the windshield). Then the warnings on the dash started popping up quicker than I could clear them. I got the service engine soon, followed by power train malfunction and then it said that the transmission was in low and the "D" on the shift knob was flashing. I pulled over and the parking brake engaged before I even stopped (with a warning on the dash informing me of this). I immediately shut the truck off, pulled the key, and opened the door to shut it down completely.

When I restarted the truck, all of the warnings started marching across the display. Since I was only two blocks from home, I decided to get it back to my driveway and hook up the OBDII reader when it gets light out.

The thing that really bothered me was that when I drove the two blocks to get home, I had to ride the brakes the whole way. If I took my foot off the brakes pedal, the truck would accelerate. Got it home and I'm going to get the OBDII codes when it gets light out.

I will follow up as more information becomes available. I will call my dealership when they open at 9:00.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

Modern vehicles...modern problems. Sometimes I wonder about " progress" .

So, here are the codes I got with the OBDII reader:

U1011 - The automobile fault code U1011 indicates a problem with the Controller Area Network (CAN) communication harness, a faulty Engine Control Module (ECM), or a poor harness ground connection. The most common symptom is the Engine Light ON or Service Engine Soon Warning Light.

U1028 - The automobile fault code U1028 indicates a communication issue between the vehicle’s modules. This is often accompanied by the engine light turning on. The cause of this fault code could be a faulty module, an open or shorted module harness, or a poor electrical connection in the module circuit.

Calling the dealer in about 15 minutes.

Had the warning light recall done about a month ago. Getting U1011 and U 1028. They seem to deal with ECM and CAN bus.

This is what happened to me this past Saturday! I posted about it here. I also got the same codes as you, ALL 4 TIMES!
Did you wait over 5 mins before starting it up again? After waiting the 5 mins, my truck operated normally (until it happened again.) The next day, the CEL went off.

I was doing 75-80 when it happened to me. The first time was after driving over 2 hours. The 2-4 times started after driving 30 mins then the 3 happened with 20 mins of each other.

It is currently at the Service and they cannot reproduce it (duh.) I did have the recalls done prior to this happening.

I had this happen on SAt the 30th, The truck is at the dealer now.. Seem like this is a problem post recall update! I also put a complaint in with the NHTSA.. you can look on this forum and find the various threads with this happening to others..

 

[LAClippers420]

Another victim of the recall software update.

 

[Scupking]

Wow the software update claims another one....

OP Please report this potential safety issue to the NHTSA at this link. Everyone benefits when the Feds get visibility into incidents like this. It takes a minute of your time and a few keystrokes.

After I got it home, I called out from work and waited for the dealership to open. When I called them, the service manager was able to pull up the fault codes and told me to bring it in. When I drove it the dealership there were no problems except the check engine light was on. Currently waiting for the dealership to call back with a solution.

I have never had a problem with this dealership's service department (Wichita Falls Ford), so I'm trying to be positive (although I did notice two Mavericks in the service yard).

I am getting dizzy trying to keep up with the multiple threads on this same topic

 

[TCPTX65]

UPDATE: Drove the truck to the dealership and had no problems, except the check engine light being on. As soon as the dealership calls me back, I will update.

 

[billbillw]

....so y'all are saying not to get the Recall software update for the rear tail light or is it one of the Hybrid recalls to hold off on?
