My Maverick is a BRICK (major problem)

[23grayXLT84]

I don't know all. Is it just me or are we seeing a tons of new threads with issues ? FB groups seems to be nothing but issues as well.

-deep sleep (no fix)
-shifter sys fault (transmission)
-cv axles

All very common and all could be big $$ once outside of warranty.

I keep hearing that maverick os based on the escape with some Toyota licensing mixed in.... Great, maybe the hybrid portion will be ok but.

Just a note Ford 2.0 s and some other brands use a pressed on crankshaft (damper) pully. Not sure if the 2.5 Hybrid is put together that way however it probably is .It's where the crankshaft sensor is located. Just a hunch it might have moved causing a timing problem between the to sensors.

Seems to be a lot of quality control issues, my Mav is a 22 Ecoboost the only the issue i've had is the side curtain airbag recall. They should have the kinks worked out on later builds.

Same experience..And I will not do the airbag recall…buy my own Yeti tumbler….lol

Just hybrids doing hybrid things

Hondas from my experience have been MUCH less reliable than Ford's. As in our ford's last well over a decade, and our Honda blew a motor after two days, and ever Honda I've seen is a clusterF in terms of issues.

I love Ford but let's be serious here. This is very anecdotal and Honda has a pretty good track record even in modern times compared to Ford. We'll just call you an outlier

Lol Hondas are eons ahead of Ford. All automakers have issues but there is no comparison. Having owned Chevys Ford's Toyotas and Mopar. If Honda made a small truck I would jump on it.

There's nice homes in Japan as well, time for a move?

Japan would be pretty awesome, ngl.

Sorry to hear about the OP's problem. I guess there will always be a bad apple in the bunch.
My 22 Hybrid just hit 100k miles last week. Knock on wood, so far so good.

For the most part only those with issues are commenting . Not the thousands that are driving trouble free. Anything mechanical/electrical can fail, so I might as well chime in. The rubber boot on the pin of the fuel door is torn at 5K. I noticed it at my 1st fill up. It is being replaced this week when I bring it in for an oil change. Also I get a TPMS warning after driving about 15 miles on my winter tires and XL rims and sensors. It goes away after sitting of a few hrs. It reads correctly at startup. I know these aren't MAJOR issues and I might feel different it mine were bricked. I doubt if the timing chain jumped on the sprocket.

It's called Ridgeline.

GM just stopped sales of the Blazer while they figure out the software. Meanwhile buyers own bricked vehicles that will strand them mid-trip. And go in the shops for weeks. Sound familiar?

I'm so glad I have the attitude that I buy a vehicle because that's the one I want, and I know things are going to go wrong with it. Sure it would be nice to last 200k miles with no problems, but I live in reality.

Geeze, give the guy a break, if he is truly unhappy with the Maverick (for any reason) by all means unload it because thats what I would do. Agree the actual problem may not be the timing chain but it still lowers ones confidence in the truck regardless.
