Maybe I should have kept my ‘22 Mav?

[Scott Asheville]

This thread makes me chuckle a bit in sadness. Not at the OP's problem, but because last Thursday's "Autoline After Hours" segment was "Why Can't OEMs Write Software?"

Unfortunately, unless you have Ford Protect you won't get a loaner, unless the dealer is exceptional, and even then it won't be hybrid.

I don’t know what Ford Protect is unless that’s the extended warranty.

Hopefully it's a quick fix and they have the parts on hand or get them quickly. If your 60 mile round trip has majority hwy and that includes 2 lane hwy I hope they have an ecoboost Maverick as a loaner. You just maybe pleasantly surprised. In any case hope it's a quick fix and you get your truck back ASAP.

I, and a friend both have early hybrid Lariat trucks deliverer the first week of March 2022. Neither of us has had any problems, except the recalls. I think you should have kept the 2022, and got a ESP instead of giving up your truck. Lets hope it's a minor problem with your 2023, and you get back on the road soon.

This is a huge deal. Please take some time to fill out the NHTSA form that others are doing as well on the issue.

Working on it now. While I wait for the tow truck. Thanks!

I don't have a hybrid I think you hit reply on the wrong post? I believe the op was GreenLady. I just hope it's taken care of expediently.

I hope so too!

Yep the extended warranty. It guarantees a loaner for 10 days.

Same here...but Jan 2022 Hybrid delivery with very minor issues from 2 recalls, 22,000 trouble tree miles. Also have a EcoBoost for business service calls but currently awaiting a trade-in of the EcoBoost for another Hybrid due to gas savings of the Hybrid....buying gasoline once a month for the Hybrid has sold me on hybrids...consistently 40-46 mpg without much effort.

raise some hell and insist on borrowing one of their new models in stock, maybe that will get you something

Usually a 1 or 2 day wait without your truck is considered "customary" and you won't get a loaner.

The last time I had major work done and they couldn't get parts for weeks, they drove me to Enterprise Rental and said pick out anything on the lot.

As a matter of fact I had a recall done at the beginning a couple weeks ago after another recall 2 months ago. Since then I constantly get that message about location data collection, the radio automatically comes on when I start the truck and after the last recall and recent rain I had water pooled on the driver side rubber mat. The carpet mat and carpet were soaking wet also. Hoping for no more recalls

I originally started with a ‘22 Lariat hybrid on 2/2/22. I later ordered a ‘23 because my mileage was racking up and I figured it would be a year in production. In July, 2023 I even traded my ‘22 with 28k miles for my new ‘23 Lariat hybrid with 10 miles. I never had much of an issue with the ‘22 except with a couple recalls like the airbag and the damage to the interior followed by replacing several trim pieces. I loved my Mav and looked forward to another great, problem free Mav until yesterday.

I woke up to a rainy Sunday, my day to do weekly shopping. I headed down the road 2 miles when I realized I wasn’t able to accelerate over 35 mph. Then wrench and engine lights came on along with slipper/skid light. Several warnings like service required, advanced device trac and a couple others flashed. I pulled over, shut down, waited a few minutes and restarted. As I pulled back on the road my truck accelerated to 35 mph without my foot on the brake. Instead of chancing it I turned around and the truck drove me back at 35 mph without using the gas pedal! Fortunately my brakes worked.

This morning I plan on emptying the truck before it gets towed to a dealer in SC in case this ends up a month long service appt like some I’ve read about. I just hope I can get a hybrid loaner since I have a 60 mile daily trip and a drive to FL in 10 days

Can’t help but wonder how my ‘22 Maverick is doing

Scary!
