Maverick 2023 Hybrid. Dec. 12-13, 2023. After numerous problems with navigation, radio, a/c, screen lock up, blank screen, blue blank screen. I took my Maverick to the dealer. I got a ride home in my own truck and was left without a loaner for two days. I was told the software was completely replaced. Previous to the repairs, i was averaging 44-46 mpg. Over the first week it gradually dropped until now it avgs. 35 mpg. My driving habits did not change. I was told it was common to have a drop in mileage in cold weather. I don't accept that explanation. It was colder before the fix, the mileage was consistent. This week the temperatures have risen to high 40's, and my mileage is still locked in at 35 mpg. I did notice a new problem that did not exist before the fix. My drive was always set on eco, and never had to change it. Since the fix, it now defaults to normal, and I have to manually scroll through the drives to get back to eco. It shows as a little leaf on the center lower screen. It has to be reset every time I shut if off and restart it. The mileage is still at 35mpg. Before the fix, one of the numerous problems I had was the radio voice commands malfunctioning and not recognizing stations, defaulting to the lowest number station regardless of am, Fm, or satelite radio, locking up, as stated in the beginning.
Another issue is as I approach a stop sign slowly with light pedal pressure on the brake, the truck nosedives the last few feet as if i had pressed harder on the brake. It is not every time, just on smooth slow stops. I see on the internet that this is not an uncommon problem.
I want to drive the truck to Florida in February, I would like to get back to the mileage I was getting before the software fix. I do not accept the response that this is common for hybrids in the winter. I don't want software patch, reprogram, reset, that may cause another issue in a new part of the computer driven system. Any advice? I've spent too much on window trim, fender splash guards, hood edge protector, window tint, spray in bedliner, bed cover, dash protector. I like the truck. It is exactly what I wanted. The recalls and computer issues have diminished the value, and I cant honestly sell it to someone without the recalls, computer issues, unsatisfactory repairs scaring them away from purchasing it.
