My hybrid truck sucks it will not drive often!

Ughhh didn't I see somewhere that Ford said that this was an ENHANCED FLOODED battery. So maybe it's not dead until 10.6 volts????

I highly doubt Ford put anything in but their bottom shelf Mastercraft. Here on the forums people have resolved the deep sleep issue by putting in an a better AGM battery.

Plus he isn't outside the US as the other guy stated he's in Puerto Rico which is a US territory

Watching my brother in-law try and explain this point to cops here on the mainland is outright embarrassing. He has been asked for his Passport! Military veteran, VA card in hand, with his military ID, and driver's license.....still has been asked for a Passport.

It would be hilarious if it wasn't so bad.

Description of BXT battery line:
From O'Reilly's website for the battery installed in hybrid maverick! (FWIW)!

FWIW the program you're referring to is for the low voltage battery cable, not HV. And it's a CSP (Customer Satisfaction Program), not a recall, so unlikely to have been performed pre-emptively.

They wouldn't do the CSP for me, so I had to move on.

I am still having the same issue, NO gauges /no Lights /No Start cannot switch the transmission /cannot move vehicle. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE I FIRST GOT THE TRUCK. ITS A HYBRID. THe truck has been to the Fajardo Ford dealership 8 times for this issue. The Ford dealership that sold me the truck for 37,300$ USD. cannot seem to fix the problem. they have had it now for over one week. I have only put on the truck in almost 2 years 13,019 miles because I cannot start it often. The car 12volt battery shows around 11 volts when this condition show It's ugly head, I am in a hurry and the truck will not drive. I told Ford in Puerto Rico that the battery 12 volt does not hold the charge. they say its tests fine., THEN WHY DOES IT NOT WORk at 11 volts. Should I contact a lawyer for the lemon law? The dilership has had my truck in for this problem forfa total of about 5 weeks inn the last year. Is any elese having bthis same issue , no srt/ no gauges noe shiting not bable to drive ????????
Sincerely a very frustrated Maverick hybrid owner.

LEMON LAW???

Yes, The dealership has been trying to help. They have replaced the battery and the cable 2 times That was after I told them I wanted a new truck/ Lemon law. They also replaced the oxidized fuse box the first year I had it. It is still having the same problem but not as often. I will have them check out the DC/DC inverter next time. Thank you for that great suggestion!
Cheers from down here in Puerto Rico! I love the truck and I have averaged 46 mpg over 15,000 miles. I think that my truck has spent about 8 weeks total at the dealership, good thing I have my 10 years old Honda to back me up. I just have to pay 80$ for taxis back and forth no uber or lift in this area.

Ford's batteries are junk. Also Ford does not have an AGM battery for your hybrid. You need to get a 3rd party AGM battery as mentioned earlier in this thread. I know this would be out of your pocket and I am not sure if a 3rd party AGM battery is available for your to purchase in Puerto Rico...

Good luck to you!

 

[The Cyber Orange Guy.]

Ford did replaced mine, and since that time never have any problem at all.

Go to la Kennedy, they do a great job with mine. If you have no luck let me know, i don't work there or nothing like that, but i might be able to see if i can get you on contact with someone.
