Oh, man you are so level headed about the effects of this issue. Mine was $1200 ambulance ride, truck threw a service engine soon message trying to start my Blue Maverick to drive to the ER across the street, when doc-in-the-box wouldn’t help me.

Update: Truck dead again. called ford service and came out for Jump. started and drove around for 30 minutes in neighborhood. Appt for dealer on Monday. will try a start tomorrow morning in daylight. check engine light still on. Ford Pass says the power train control system has detected an electrical fault with the active grille shutter control actuator and its associated wiring.

Is there a 'lemon law' where you live?

They might want to also replace the PN # 12651D5 Smart junction box as part of the complete trouble/shoot package - Caused some weird issues with my Eco/Boost- FYI

Yes, and I will pursue that option if it comes to that. Thank you.

If my Maverick ever shows up, I think I'm going to tell the dealer to sell it!

What’s your build date? They have resolved the harness issue middle August I believe.

Could use a case deep down south, to drown out my Maverick sorrows.
