Did anyone checked what software version is installed that is generating issues?

I have a dealer appointment next Thursday. Scanned for software updates don’t believe that is issue since someone posted regarding ACM. My VIN falls into the production range mentioned

Van Halen's contract riders for shows had a line item "no brown m&ms". If they saw brown m&ms they would tear up the contract figuring if they couldn't get a basic detail like that correct, how many big things did the venue miss.

So the wanted the venue employees touching all their M&M's?! Yuck.

Took delivery of my hybrid today. Ordered on July 30th. First impressions are mixed. I have the standard radio and the tuner will not work..won't change stations , at all. Neither the dial or the buttons work. After a while it will act like it wants to then just stop trying. Works fine on bluetooth. Kind of a big miss to me, can't even listen to the radio.

As far as the truck , honestly to me it rides pretty rough and is pretty noisy..that being said , for the price , it's hard to beat. I only have 30 miles on it and mpg is showing 30.3. Will see as I drive it more.

When in doubt sell and with your OAM (owner adjusted mark up) and buy something else

Its a Ford truck. I've owned a few. Don't expect much.

That's about unhelpful.

Just be glad they didn't ask for the m's to be licked off

My XLT radio station search will work and randomly not work in a manner similar to what you have described. Hoping this issue will be corrected by firmware update. But if the issue only relates to firmware/software then why isn't EVERY XL/XLT experiencing?

Would hate to wait months and then find out this was a hardware issue on isolated builds.

Back to what can you expect for a sub 20K Truck

It did not like me:

An Error has been detected.

Waaaahhhhh Waaaahhhh

This will eventually get fixed, and if not, then something else will be done. Perhaps the design was rushed, or the software pushed out the door a day or two early, and fixes will be forthcoming.

Is the antennae tight?

Just an update for anyone that cares. Took the truck in to get the radio software updated. I don't know what they did when the downloaded the software , but now I have a "wrench light " ..trucks been there since Friday. They claim they don't have the manpower to work on it now. I think since it's probably their first Maverick "issue" they are just putting it off. Oh well, guess we will see what happens. All you guys with radio issues may want to wait a few months before taking yours in. May want to wait until the dealer techs get a few repairs under their belts.

Sorry that you are still dealing with this. My fix is working fine so I was fortunate. Took all day for the dealer to do the work which they claimed was something to do with the download... no specifics but didn't inspire confidence.
