Turbocharged Hybrid?

[atomguy245]

Most of that text on dealers' websites populates automatically (by VIN). Highly unlikely that is is something that someone chose to put on their. Just an error in the inventory feed and/or website.

Yes the vehicle info populates (wrongly) from the Vin, but not fixing it is the sign of a lazy dealership. I used to do internet for a Hyundai dealer and I'd have to fix the info on pretty much every vehicle

Seriously, look at the amount of complaint posts on this forum. Not even close!!!

There's about 27,452 members on this forum, many of which do not own a Maverick yet, How many total Mavericks are in customer's hands? I don't think you can use complaints on this forum as a statistic on whether more Ecoboost or more Hybrid problems...

Mild issues resolved like wiring harnesses vs Ecoboost mavericks getting transmission replacements and having gas leak into the engine oil. You're right, it's not even close, the hybrid issues aren't even really issues. The ecoboosts are having major powertrain components replaced.

The gas does not leak into the oil. All Ecoboost and a lot of Coyotes (and other engines) have GDI. Some newer ones have dual injection, port and direct (GDI) injection. Cold starts on a GDI only engine can create some oil dilution. Once the oil comes up to temperature the gasoline will vaporize allowing it to be burned through the engine via the crankcase ventilation system.
As far as the transmission is concerned, go to the Ecoboost section and look at some of the power these guys are putting to the ground with stock drivelines. I think a stock EB drivetrain will do just fine.

You really need to read up on engines and what makes them tick.

I haven’t read of many Ecoboosts stranding people. Doesn’t mean it’s not happening though.
Seems like Ecoboosters spend more time arguing about the best octane and how much to tow or not tow.
Cold air and cat backs discussions can get pretty lively.

Don't forget all the catch can posts! Those wild and crazy guys!

lol u srs?

Mild issues... Boi stop.

Silly aristocrat Hybrid owners on this forum. Ya'll are funny with that snooty act.

I'll bite your subjective nonfactual nonsense. At least they can replace "powertain components" on ours. What is the solution for the engine failure on Hybrids? Oh that's right... poke holes in the undercarriage and hope it helps vent the fumes to prevent a fire. Battery drain? Definitley not a daily discussion on the Hybrid sections. Grabby brakes? Unheard of. No start? "Read the manual" (A favorite piece of advice from Hybrid owners). I was also unaware of EB's being the ones with the massive recalls associated with them. How many people come in here and go "Oh, that Ecoboost has me worried I should have gotten a Hybrid"? Zero. That's how many. The answer is zero. How many people come in here/reddit wondering if the issues with the Hybrids have been resolved? Many. Daily.


BTW, you are seeing maintenance reports from EB owners because unlike Hybrid owners, most of us know how to turn a wrench. Hybrid owners run into an issue - "Better take it to the dealer". The only "fire" we saw on an EB was user error and could happen on literally any vehicle. Too much oil, added more. Stupid move not related to the vehicle itself.

Didn't the recalls get initiated because FORD received 25 reports of engine fires and then 3 more after the "fix" was issued as well? FORD themselves admitted this much. They don't just issue a recall for over 75% of vehicle models produced because nothing happened... So the first recall didn't work - hopefully the second one will... In FORD's own words:

"What is the cause of the issue? Isolated engine manufacturing issues have resulted in engine failures involving engine block or oil pan breach on certain 2020-2023 Ford Escape and 2022-2023 Maverick vehicles with 2.5L HEV/PHEV engines."

28 fires:

So FORD has admitted 28 so far... regardless of if this forum chooses to accept it or not. It happened. 25 initially and 3 after the failed first recall. You are riding on hopes and dreams that your crankshaft does not crack and grenade your engine. It's really that simple. Have they fixed the issue? We hope. They say they have but hopefully their 3rd attempt is better than their 2nd attempt.

I mean, it's all fun and games we poke around here sometimes but your comment is by far the most idiotic thing I've seen in a while and with the attitude to boot. Sorry bo bo, that junk doesn't check out. I usually try to avoid this stuff but you guys bring it out of me pretty easily. And it's not even a deterrent piece of "buyers advice" - it's what factually happened and is shown in the forum itself. I'm glad to see Hyrbid owners constantly reporting no issues but the reason they feel the need is what you are choosing to ignore and it's amazingly hypocritical and you had the nerve to do it with your nose in the air too. smh. Not a good look.

If you are going to fire shots, at least step up from the nerf gun.

And oh, OP... no turbo Hybrid. No AWD Hybrid. Often times the listings are incorrectly labeled as are my fellow posters opinions about what "small issues" means here. We do love our catch cans - it's not an EcoBoost exclusive club though, it's a direct injection thing

 

[rivermaverick]

There are turbo hybrids out there.

Just no turbo hybrid Mavericks.

Ford say they can use larger turbo's on hybrids because they can use boost from the MGU to reduce the turbo lag.

Ford are using it on the 1.0L EcoBoost mild hybrid.

So well said, totally agree.
Have to find all the Ecoboost owners posts saying how silly it is to drive a FWD hybrid truck.
I’m afraid I will probably be looking for a while.
Right now Ford’s hybrid and Ecoboost technology is what’s paying most of the bills and keeping Ford’s doors open.

Have to find all the Ecoboost owners posts saying how silly it is to drive a FWD hybrid truck.
I’m afraid I will probably be looking for a while.
Right now Ford’s hybrid and Ecoboost technology is what’s paying most of the bills and keeping Ford’s doors open.

To each their own. Some like Ecoboosts and some like hybrids. Some want to redesign the vehicle so that it takes a 2mpg 10L V8 that can tear the "crummy" Continentals off in 30miles for some wacko reason. Some want to do autobahn speeds in an aerodynamic brick and then complain that they are only getting 30mpg and that's just wrong by god. Don't forget the no-brains that think that they need a 4x4 or duallies just to handle a foot of snow, and that no god-fearing trucker would be seen in a FWD. Its really funny watching the two snipe at each other because they have nothing better to do and probably don't know how to actually drive properly. You feeling FWD is "snooty"? Maybe just drive your damn truck and pay the gas bill. At the 10year point, figure out which one is better and which one cost less overall, for some weird reason. Doh!

I've met other hybrid owners at meets and there's no complaints. Just one gut at McDonald's had the wiring harness issue.

You clearly cannot read. I never said anything negative about FWD anything...

Take your own advice.

"To each their own. Some choose Ecoboosts and some like hybrids." Agree........
We have both but I grow tired of all the "you don't need AWD if you know how to drive" comments.
I wonder how common this phrase would be if it were a hybrid option? We don't all have to deal with snow but that does not mean we don't have to deal with other types of questionable/slippery road surfaces.
How about this;
Ecoboost does not = Hybrid fuel millage (the badge does have a little green leaf though) and FWD does not = AWD on slick roads. Drive what you want but remember, what you choose might not be best for everyone else.
Don't be so quick to look down your nose at others peoples choices, you have no idea what they need.

 

[RedRider]

FWD does not = AWD on slick roads.

Actually, FWD and AWD are pretty much equal until you start pushing snow over the bumper. 4WD on the other hand, won't corner on ice and AWD/FWD is superior in that scenario.
