Maybe Ford should focus on quality

[Clarkdonbran]

Well, at least you can get your money back for it.

I’m hoping so.

I don’t get the whining. This vehicle has had very few problems so far. Certainly no serious ones. But I guess if you have one of the problems, then Ford must be evil, or somehow worse than other companies at similar price points.. Give it a rest..geesh. Also, the OP doesn’t even mention what is wrong with his vehicle and what part its waiting on. As if it was more important to complain about the drone article..

44 days. That’s stupid long.

Yes, it is.

My truck with 13,000 miles has been at the dealer waiting on a part for 44 days. Maybe Ford should focus on quality instead of drones.

I have a friend that's been waiting for a valve spring for his "Godzilla" 7.2L since Thanksgiving.
Also read article about a city that's been waiting for part for their new $300K ambulance for months; they've been borrowing units form neighboring communities. And another: one city dumped their hybrid cruisers because they were always in for repairs. They replaced them with Dodge SUV's. What ever happened to "Quality is Job One?"

At least the people in A Brave New World had soma!

Or Moloko Plus, ala “A Clockwork Orange”.

My math was bad, it was 42, but still!

They give you a loaner?
Or tough CaCa?

They gave me a rental.

THAT’S good. I’d still be aggravated, but without the loaner, I’d be furious!!

Check your states Lemon Law. This definitely sounds like a buy-back at full price. The only problem I see is finding another Maverick to replace it. If you're not sure of your state's Lemon Law, contact your State Attorney General's office. GOOD LUCK!!!

I started the process for that today. I’m beginning to be okay with not having a Mav anymore.

My 2022 XLT Hybrid has 11.5k miles and has been in the shop since 2/6/23 with the same PCM issue. They finally gave me a rental (Fusion) 2 weeks ago. I never get an update or anything unless I physically go to the dealer and talk to someone. They make me leave voicemails if I call, and the calls are never returned. When I go in and ask they shrug their shoulders and just say "we don't know." Not sure what the lemon laws are in TN. It's been very frustrating to be without it and not be able to do things I relied on it to do.

I feel you. I will update the community on the outcome of my claim.

I got my PCM replaced today and surprise surprise, it did not fix the issue. They need to replace the exhaust and muffler system, but the parts are on backorder until May!

I picked up a Maverick Lariat Hybrid last week for a dealer. Person who ordered it backed out. I checked Ford Recall Notice with my Vin. It said no recalls. ( deflecting from topic but I did it anyway... )
