WHAT? No car is designed to steer you off the road even in the slightest degree. I don't know what Kool-Aid you've been given but you should lay off.

Showing my wife the lane keeping on my truck going 45 miles a hour truck stayed in lane took my hand off wheel a couple seconds a warning came on said keep hand on wheel !
The truck does not pull off road
Kept going straight and in lane
With lane keeping off still went straight
Some roads will pull depending how the road was paved some have creast In them and it will pull one way or other

Lol true.. sunroof replaces the sunglass holder..

i was like : what sunglass holder? How come I didn’t see that.. that’s great..and then i realized that if you have sunroof you dont get the sunglass holder

just be careful that there are other small plastic clips and trim that may break.. i saw a guy who broke his side window switch button on the second day or something and no he did not use force.. the silver tip of the button switch cracked just like that.

Bought part 68038755AA on Amazon for 15 $ Working perfectly

Would love to hear if anyone has a solution for it. I bet when I go to the dealership they will try to fix it with some Macgyver way or it will take them 3 month to order the bad part which is probably on backorder. I dont even want to use the section anymore, just want the door to stay stable and closes.

Most vehicles do and Its by design unless yours is way off? It's meant to veered you off the highway to the shoulder in case you fall asleep at the wheel.

Hate to disagree with you . . . but . . . if properly aligned a vehicle should travel in a straight course IF the roadway is perfectly flat. The reason why aligned vehicles drift to the right is because of the "road crown". By design, roads SHOULD be higher in the middle and slightly slop towards the shoulders to allow water to go towards the shoulders preventing or at least limit pooling. Water pooling will cause vehicles to hydroplane where traction is lost or at least limited and control of the vehicle is hampered or lost.

pretty sure it is warrantied, for the first year and 12k miles

I doubt it. You could have driven over a pothole for all they know, (and maybe you did), or any

I was right with you! And I have the same 'sunglass holder' as you.

Found this and saved it so when I get my Maverick and the sunglasses holder breaks I can try to fix it permanently

Any chance you can post some pics of your fix or even do a short YouTube video for us guys who are a bit challenged thinking in this area?

This is something that I read a long time ago either here or the other maverick forum before I even had my maverick. I've had mine a month and haven't broken mine yet, even though I use it everyday.

I copied that part # and sent it to myself in case I do break it. Sorry I can't help more than that. I googled the part number and it doesn't look like it would be that tough to figure out if you had the pieces in hand.

HalfFast & Joseaoe1, I received the Mopar latch that you both have advised would fit. (
Mopar 68038755Aa Latch).

It fits perfectly! To install, I only needed to take a very small screwdriver and pop the OEM latch down to remove. The Mopar part was just then press fitted in.
Seems to work somewhat better than the OEM latch. I now have a spare if I ever need it.
Thanks for posting a solution to the lazy sunglass latch.

You are welcome. It was halffast and I should have thanked as well. My oem one kept popping out but so far the mopar one seems to be perfect and hopefully longevity will Be fine. I actually had a recall appointment for this which I am glad I did not take the truck in for.
