Voltage is not the main factor. Different metals react to different temperatures causing galvanic corrosion. Even at 12 volt.
I have no idea what it is nor what it is anchored to but the anchor is in a location which should not have any corrosion (rust). There are many things it could be made of and I am sure that the most economical and compatible material available is what is used. I would like to know how the harness is made including the connector as well as the post and nut and what metals or alloys are present. Everything should be well designed and tested before maverick was even thought about and most likely a production error happened. Could be that the wrong flux was used or not the proper amount or the solder joint was not adequately cleaned afterwards. Or many other things. I chose reference to titanium because post I responded to mentioned iron which has one pair of electrons in it's outer orbit whereas titanium has two pair. (Unpaired electrons will allow atom to oxidize easier whereas paired electrons spin in opposite directions and bond to each other and resist oxidation).Titanium? Can't tell if you're kidding or not.
Cheers.
Agreed, titanium is quite resistant to oxidation. Unfortunately it's expensive and challenging to work with. Unlikely to find it on a mass produced economy vehicle.I have no idea what it is nor what it is anchored to but the anchor is in a location which should not have any corrosion (rust).

Update: When the truck arrived to tow my vehicle, we popped open the compartment to put it in neutral and guess what? No red pull cable. So now we're waiting for a truck with wheel lifts and a dolly.
I plan on this updated security as well when my 23my comes in!!!I'm just going to put a zip tie on the connection
Hopefully they’ve remedied this for the MY23. We shall see!
I experienced that too! I actually pulled a cord that I thought was the cable it turns out it was the wireless charging pad wiring harness or something, I'm glad I didn't really give it my all. Luckily we tried jumping it and it booted up just fine, drove it into position and then hit the power button and it sank back into the dreamless void.

He did a great job and got the customer’s car working again which is way more than Ford is doing. I think the real question is: What is a viable permanent fix?
For the Tech’s temporary fix, maybe some anti-oxidant compound would lengthen the integrity of his repair solution. In the old days, we used the GB Ox-Gard for copper to aluminum connections. This seemed to hold up pretty good.
My Maverick is in the shop for another issue so, I can't look at the harness routing. Would it be possible to run a separate copper cable along the harness (or elsewhere) and bypass the faulty cable altogether? Just a thought.
So this is all the 12V system, not the high voltage system for the Hybrid side?
Yes. But without power to 12V the electronics aren't able to close the HV contactor. Once that's done the DC-DC converter is able to keep things running. That's why vehicles with this issue can be jumped, run fine, and are stone dead again next time to start.
