Got to give you props for all the maverick videos you do putting this little truck to work and seeing how it handles all the traveling. No one else is doing videos like this.
@Oni64 Well Daniel Delivers! He was one of the first channels I watched when I learned that the maverick existed. Sadly it can't tow the amount of weight that my 2001 4.0L Ranger can. The ecoboost Ranger is just too big for what the original Ranger was designed for.
I had a Maverick for 9k miles and sold it for a 2019 Forester with way more features than what my XLT had. His videos make me glad I sold mine while the value was high
Great video, you are providing a great service. With the miles you have driven it is like the stress testing Boeing puts their jets through before production. You give us all a glimpse into our future.
Except highway miles (which is what he mostly does) are pretty easy on a transmission. Ford should be ashamed. There are many documented examples of Tacomas and Tundras with 1 million miles on the same engine and transmission.
I was laughing too. “Built Ford Tough” 😂 I was thinking, I wonder how much money Ford is going to lose by this one video? Both myself and my dad were going to buy one, not now.. I saw several posters mark the maverick off … built ford tough ha .. still laughing at that.. another car manufacturer should use this footage for marketing lol 😂
I held my breath through most of the vid, saying," c'mon, Flipper! You can make it home". Dude, this was a nail biter of a vid! Thanks for the glimpes of the pow wows as well. But you have been an absolute rockstar with how youve been documenting everything with the maverik since purchase and hopefully this is not a trend with the Mavs, but I think youre one of the obly ones on youtube to get his up there to almost 100k miles. Keep us updated and if you get a new truck, hopefully you'll continue the page as its been alot of fun to follow you. Take care, Christopher
As long as you’ve owned this maverick, I’m surprised you haven’t gotten at least a base level tonneau cover. As a fellow owner that has one, it is absolutely worth it!
Don't base your decision on this. This happened because ford recommends changing the trans fluid at 30k for severe duty applications. He didn't change it till it started having problems at over 80k.
Thank you for this video. I was considering a maverick or a bronco sport as my next vehicle but after this I will look at a different brand. Thank you so much. You are providing a very valuable service to the community by posting this video.
I would say that this is not very likely to happen to you unless you’re driving that many miles under 2 years. But it is something to be aware of. This is pretty likely to happen to most other vehicles that haven’t been kept after under severe use. Still though I’d wait for Toyota to release a small pickup truck as well
Count your lucky stars that this happened before the warranty ran out, and the dealership only charged you $100 deductible. Off warranty a new tranny is easily $5-6k, if not more.
I get a kick out of the idiots in the comments who're blaming the Maverick for the problems instead of the lack of maintenance. 90k+ in such a short period of time is most definitely severe usage and in the Ford owner's manual it calls for fluid changes at 30k in those conditions. I really don't want to crap on the creator since he is one of the better Maverick channels on this site but come on use some common sense. And as far as Ford saying to change the fluid at 150k with normal use that's bs as well. Go to www.youtube.com/@FordTechMakuloco or www.youtube.com/@FordBossMe channels to see what they think of Ford's service intervals.
Just driving 90k miles in a short period of time wouldn’t make it “severe” usage if he’s still driving it normally. I’m sure the vast majority of those are highway miles, which is easy on a vehicle. What would probably constitute severe usage on a transmission is towing, off roading, fast acceleration… I haven’t watched the channel enough to know how exactly he’s using it, but his driving isn’t too aggressive.
@@Travis12861 You can definitely get away with not maintaining a Toyota to a point, unlike many other manufacturers. But if you want it to go 300k+ you at least have to be reasonable about it.
I’ve been seeing lots of videos about the Ford Maverick having major transmission and some engine issues even with very low miles. Most haven’t been abused or driven across the country like this one, both regular and hybrid engines have been prone to similar issues. They’re all literally brand new so still under manufacturer warranty but I’d hate to see them in 6 yrs with their 2nd or 3rd owners and out of warranty. Rolling piles of junk will probably be worth about $7k even with very low miles because nobody will be wanting to touch them. Lol
It's super important to note the engine/transmission setup you experienced this with, because the Hybrid Maverick and Non-Hybrid Maverick have very different setups. The Hybrid Maverick essentially has a single-speed electric motor that serves as it's transmission, moving the car forwards and backwards, while the non-hybrid has a traditional 8-speed automatic transmission. I imagine that the Hybrid setup would have significantly less issue since it's an electric motor.
@STho205, the transmission is manufactured and assembled in the Van D_yke Electric Powertrain Center plant in Michigan + ford uses the ecvt design licensing from Toyota It is just shipped to Mexico to be assembled as part of the powertrain.
@@STho205 It's assembled in Mexico but the electric motor in the eCVT is manufactured in-house at the Van Dyke Electric Powertrain center in Michigan. The electric motor is significantly less complicated than your typical automatic transmission, which is why I say it's a safe bet to assume it will outlast the traditional transmission they put in the non-hybrid versions. Sure - the Hybrid Maverick has a battery attached to all that, but it's very small - 1.1kWh pack. It would cost less than a transmission to replace. For comparison, the battery pack is a fully electric base-model tesla is a 58kWh pack.
Looks like that truck is a good candidate for being a trade in for Toyota's answer to this truck, the Stout! Sorry that it broke! Hope the fix it under warranty. At least you got some good ise out if it.👍
I have a maverick awd eco-boost. Now I know what I can expect after driving the truck after about 10 years and pushing it to the limit. I am not surprised that this happened. I hope you ok and happy birthday. Keep us posted.
Just keep up with your trans fluid changes and you'll be fine. He just went like 50k miles over on the recommended extreme duty change interval which is 30k. I love my AWD Ecoboost.
Good afternoon. I know it's alot but I go to the dealer every quarter for oil change. It may seem like a lot but I rather spent about $250/300 for the year than to fix the engine. Same with the Trans and etc. We know that car will eventually give up. But I think if you are on point with the maintenance it should last well over 10+ years.
Was the transmission fluid ever replaced prior to the valve body issue? I would not follow the recommended schedule because those are for optimal conditions when in reality most people are in the severe duty driving conditions which means shorter intervals for service. Make sure to take care of your transfer case and rear diff before its to late.
I was hoping these trucks would be like the Prius in terms of longevity and economy… pretty disappointing. Still an awesome truck and a great video, thanks man.
I was considering buying a Maverick... I'll pass now. Thanks so much for your videos. I've been following you and you've been a huge help. I hope you fix your truck.
1 failed transmission does not make them all bad. You missed the boat all ready not getting a 2022 at the original base pricing. He has 88K already on it and does work it.
Ford maverick manual says change our transmission fluid at 150k "normal operating conditions" but given that he's like 90k miles in like less than 2 years I would consider severe operating conditions and manual says to change out at 30k miles. From what I understand no trans fluid was ever changed for this mav?
Props to you for keeping your cool. Ford better compensate you with a new trans or a new truck. I've got a Maverick hybrid on order but I'm gonna take a good long look at the Rav4 if this is how things play out at 90k.
The one he’s driving is not a hybrid ,he’s got the 2.0 four cylinder.They don’t make an FX4 hybrid,only regular four cylinders an get the all wheel drive ,different transmissions on all wheel drive. I haven’t heard of any other one’s doing this he just got a lemon good thing he’s got a warranty,they should replace it after this .
The hybrid has an entirely different transmission which is super reliable. He was also supposed to change the transmission fluid every 30k and he went 80k without changing it. So that's on him for not maintaining it.
@@ShortHandedNow The e-cvt in the hybrids is extremely reliable and robust, far more reliable than basically any conventional automatic or manual transmission. The 8 speed in the 2.0 is just kind of average. I haven't heard of a ton of issues, but I haven't heard of lots of high mileage examples either.
I know it is not related but my GMC Canyon did really weird things when the battery voltage was low. 4wd would not work, radio and other issues. As soon as I got a new battery everything worked. Apparently so many things rely on voltage that things really go bonkers. Greetings from waterdown Ontario Canada.
Unlike most im not gonna 💩 on ford………. This can happen with any brand at any time. Sometimes you get a great truck and sometimes some come with problems. Ain’t nothing in this world built to last forever. Hope you get your truck going again at 💯.
My Honda Ridgeline did the same thing around 100000kms my rpm was very jerky searching for gears. Got a transmission failure light. Honda did a few things to try to fix it. Worked for maybe a few day before getting same error. Had to completely replace my transmission under warranty. Now at 172000kms and havent had an issue since.
Don’t eat too much fry bread brother 👍🏽I have a fully loaded Lariat AWD 250hp turbo ..love my Truck .. no problems yet at 18000 miles 2years old this December I’m also from NorCal Vacaville area
29:13 After seeing all those faults when you got to this point makes me think the dealership should check the ground connections to the engine and transmission. Bad ground connections can cause a lot of problems in modern vehicles where most everything is done with electric like the power steering. Do you frequently drive without the under engine bay aero plates (not really skid plates)? Maybe excessive moisture is affecting a few of the ground connections
I hope the dealer isn't screwing you over 4 weeks later... Give us an update video if you can. I personally would be SO mad. The fixed it around ~80K, so SINCE they didn't fix it right and it died ~10k miles later and that includes uses fresh fliud during their service job... You better contact FORD corporate in Detroit.
Enjoyed the video, I was going to buy a Maverick, but after watching this video, they just lost a sale. Thanks for sharing, will watch how it goes. I’m curious as to how the dealership handles the situation. The gas mileage was the catch for me , I get 13.9 mpg in a suv vehicle I own and 10 mpg in an Italian sports car I can’t drive slow 😂. I tell ya “Built Ford Tough “ ha, not so tough. Good luck bro
@bodyzoasispersonaltraining9186 Currently the hybrid can't be used with the 4k tow package, only the 2.0 ecoboost with the 8 speed transmission can. All mavs with the 7 pin and 4 pin connectors of the back have the 4k tow ability, the hybrid right now is limited to 2k towing and only has the 4 pin connector in the back.
I almost got a bronco sport which has a similar transmission. Then I went on a owners group and saw people were having transmission issues so I backed out of the deal and put down 10k extra for a ridgeline. I wished ford could make these cool vehicles way more durable like honda and toyota does with theirs, but these are pretty new, so i hope that all gets worked out so they can go 2 or 300k miles without issues like that.
@@RgME0311 Thats awesome. Ive been loving my 23 ridgeline so far too. I just installed led lights in the interior, bed, and license plate lights. Next im getting roof rails to max out my cargo capacity.
I use to work for honda manufacturing in Indiana we made the civic. one rolls off the line every 56 seconds !!!!!!!!!! I have seen engines blow up driving them off the line, they go about a mile to a big parking lot.. It happen more than once !! like i said i worked there , i bought the Maverick......
@@user-ye7le1dj4t ok, and then it gets taken care of right away. Where as ford will have you waiting 2 weeks up to two months just to look at the problem. Not even fix it, which is insane since its supposed to be an american car with the perks of getting parts quickly being in the usa. Every car thats mass produced will have a good deal of lemons, especially modern vehicles where almost all the components rely on electronics. What matters is how the company goes about solving the issues that happen. My dearler told me they would take it in the day of if anything should happen. Where as every ford service garage near me told me it would be 2 weeks to a month. The good thing is ford will put you in a car while your curent vehicle is getting fixed but that still sucks. Also, while you've seen plenty of civics die before leaving the lot. The ones that don't die will go hundreds of thousands of miles before anything major goes on them, excluding electronics because no matter what make you get thats always a potential problem now a days. Also Ive been in the bronco sport owners group on fb as well as the ridgeline owners group and I see a lot less issues being talked about on ridgelines than I did on the bronco sport owners group. Both groups have like 10 to 15k members on it. A lot of bronco sports which have the same transmission as the maverick suffer from transmission failure. Where as the ridgelines ive only seen 1 or 2 posts about electronics bugging out within the first few weeks of ownership showing that its likely a defect that can be resolved under warrentee. Lastly honda has a life time powertrain warrenty. Ford pretty much tells you you're screwed after 60,000 miles, unless you pay a ton more money for extended warrenty.
@@user-ye7le1dj4tlol imagine comparing quality control do their job compared to this piece of shit getting through ford’s and ruining this guy’s day. Ford wishes they had the reliability of Honda.
I think I'm going to cancel my 2024 maverick order. I'm going to try to get a 2023 Tacoma while it still has the V6 and the access cab with usable doors, the 2024 has none of these features. I don't want to have issues with the turbos down the road.
Enjoyed the video especially your Powwow dances. Most of your problems are electronic. Cars are now 100% computer controlled, even the dial gear shift. Really hope your warranty covers this, because replacing the transmission and the main computer will cost many thousands of dollars.
I used to have a little red check cashing buddy... till the booze got him. that's why this guy can afford the truck I won't get into it, but he can afford it
No transmission will survive that many miles without service. The manufacturer's claims of "lifetime" fluid is bullshit. If you want your transmission to last, change out the fluid every 30-40k miles.
I've driven 3 different Ford trucks with different companies I've worked for. All the way from a 2001 Ford Ranger to a 2018 F-150. All 3 had transmission problems. In fact, the 2 newer ones both had the transmission completely fail under 50k miles. These little mavericks seem like cool trucks, but I'll never be able to buy a Ford after the experience I've had.
90,000 miles in one year. I don't think I've ever seen that outside of a trucker. I mean it's a Ford but that many miles in such a brief period I wonder if even a Toyota would of survived.
If you can't that heavy, you should've gotten the Maverick trimmer. It's a little bit taller, and it's made for off or old. for me, a Ford Maverick is so hard to get that I am actually looking at the Honda ridgeline. but I'm waiting for the updated 2024 version before I go drop my money down.
If you plan on keeping this after a new transmission. Or even if you decide on another car. Bro… you need to do a transmission service around 40-60K especially if you plan on driving 80k+ in a little over a year lol
I would change the fluid and filter at the 20k mileage and keep it up... I Look at the fluid and if it is not the nice red color and smells, out it goes, regardless of mileage...
Definitely looking forward to your follow up video on flipper, the Maverick. I am really interested to know what transpires. And if the root cause of your problem is a wonky battery and bad grounds. In my Ram Promaster City van, if the battery goes dead, you cannot remove the key. It needs a good battery to unlock the ignition key retainer lock.
These are neat looking compact trucks, but this is one reason why i don't buy the newest version of a new model year vehicle. There's always issues it seems like that a manufacturer doesn't catch during their trials and testing and then it feels like the consumer becomes the guinea pig for their engineers and such for finding the issues. I know the truck isn't that old, but the mileage is high for the age, and I'm hoping that this doesn't effect more drivers in the next few years that start to get into that 80k-100k mileage range and they start to see similar issues. I guess the good thing will be though, you're finding it now and this might prompt the engineers at Ford to get some more understanding to make improvements on new production vehicles and new fixes for future trucks already on the road.
This isn't a Ford issue. He didn't read the manual and see that he should have changed the trans fluid at 30k miles under severe duty. He more than doubled that. Not the trucks fault at all.
SO....these issues are showing up in pandemic era builds for many makes. The computer chips and builds are bad. Mechanicals seem okay. But the systems are so integrated and computer driven that all this stuff can fail with just one glitchy chip here or there. My Santa Cruz is starting to have issues at 30,000 miles. Same kind of stuff.
Not cool beans, on breaking at 90k hope they fix it under warranty, I have a bed topper from Amazon on my Ram truck it was only 125 dollars, my 2013 Ram 1500 has V6 does 23 mpg highway and 16 city
Why I don't buy Ford. Bought a new 2006 6.0 and was screwed. Never again. Never had one problem with my Cummings or Taco. Just my opinion. Sorry for you're bad experience brother. F them
Great vid. You should get a bed cover on the back. Keeps stuff from getting blown out on the highway. Or maybe even a camper shell and you can sleep in the bed. 🤷🏻♂️
Honestly can’t blame the dealer too much. They probably contacted their tech line who said to replace the valve body and so that’s why they did. No way they could test drive it until it got back to this point.
I feel sad that you're such a nice person and have had so much trouble with your Maverick. Thank you for your video because now I know I won't buy a Ford. I have a 2015 Toyota Camry that has 40000 miles on it right now. I bought it with 35,000 miles on it and it was due for brakes and rotors. I'm hoping for the best with this car but I would love a truck that looks like the Maverick.
Daniel -You drive this truck very long distances at higher speeds -usually loaded. *Definitely get a transmission cooler and also get a transmission fluid temp guage (wireless?) to go on your dash* -This should take care of all your problems and the cost is maybe $100. Once the tranny fluid gets too hot it needs to be replaced. Maybe there is a synthetic fluid (RedLine, Amsoil) that can take heat better. I am a big proponent of LubeGuard transmission additives = helps keep those solenoids from gumming up and the fluid cooler
@@BertoDeMampcorrect. He does have the 4k package. The larger fan, higher capacity radiator, and trans cooler are shared between the fx4 and 4k tow packages. Which he has both
@@BertoDeMampYou are correct. All Mavs to date (08/2023) that have the 7 pin and 4 pin connectors in the back have the 4k tow package with transmission cooler.
FORD (Fix Or Repair Daily) Ford cars we make them to sell quick as we can and we will worry about your problems with multiple recalls. It will work correctly eventually.
Bummer to hear the trans went out. I noticed that it was asking you to confirm that the parking brake was set. Then popped a little message on the screen asking if the parking brake was set and I didnt see you attempt to press the 'ok' button to confirm it. So i wonder if thays why it wouldnt let you take the key out is because it was never confirmed that the parking brake was set. And for those wondering, yes the parking brake indicator pops up on the dash. As well as I'm sure the system sees that the parking brake has been actuated. Except since the okay button was not pressed to confirm that the parking brake actually did engage physically, the system would not allow him to remove the key. As the computer has no way of knowing if the parking brake is physically working.
I had so many tranny and steering issues with my chevy, (Chevy man here all my life) I bought 2018 Dodge Challenger. I loved it , but just wasn't practical. No issues with the Challenger. I bought a new 2022 Maverick Lariat F/X4 in Jan 2022. My first new Ford. I hope I don't have issues. I have two recalls. I need to get the Mav back to the dealer. I hope this wasn't a mistake again, buying this Maverick.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but from my experience, when my family had fords. Always had issues. My uncle was the lucky one who has a 2012 Explorer with 230k miles on it. Backup camera doesn’t work and is acting up tho
This is insane. My 98 volvo has 217k miles on it and my 98 silverado has 326k miles on it with no engine or transmission issues. Newer cars are absolute junk
You travel alot in a yr. I'm only at 10,000 on my 22 truck. Lucky u had extended warranty This the reason why I never traded in my 14yr old truck. In case this happens. My 09 RAM with 217,000 miles still going strong since the day I got it new in 09. Don't trade in your good working car . Keep as a backup
I don't know where people are getting this "30,000 mi" service interval from. I downloaded the manual, and it says 150,000 miles for normal conditions. He did not indicate that he was operating in severe conditions. Just driving a lot of miles in a short time is not severe, especially since they are most likely highway miles.
Damn Daniel I had high hopes for the Maverick. Thanks to your reviews I'm getting the new 2024 Tacoma and never buying an American vehicle. Good luck with the fix.

Was the transmission fluid ever replaced prior to the valve body issue? I would not follow the recommended schedule because those are for optimal conditions when in reality most people are in the severe duty driving conditions which means shorter intervals for service. Make sure to take care of your transfer case and rear diff before its to late.
He just needs to trade it in for a Tacoma.
Thank you for sharing your many travels in the Maverick. Hopefully the next repair will actually work and last a long time.
Happy 23rd birthday.
I was hoping these trucks would be like the Prius in terms of longevity and economy… pretty disappointing. Still an awesome truck and a great video, thanks man.
I was considering buying a Maverick... I'll pass now. Thanks so much for your videos. I've been following you and you've been a huge help. I hope you fix your truck.
1 failed transmission does not make them all bad. You missed the boat all ready not getting a 2022 at the original base pricing. He has 88K already on it and does work it.
These new cars man… just so cheaply made but atleast you’ve got the warranty 🤙🏼
Ford maverick manual says change our transmission fluid at 150k "normal operating conditions" but given that he's like 90k miles in like less than 2 years I would consider severe operating conditions and manual says to change out at 30k miles. From what I understand no trans fluid was ever changed for this mav?
There is no fluid that can go 150k...change transmission every 30k.
Just saying the manual says that. I would probably change mine out at 40-50k miles.@@sneezsrt4
@@sneezsrt4100%. Dealer will say it’s “lifetime”, but we NEED to change ATF every 30k.
Props to you for keeping your cool. Ford better compensate you with a new trans or a new truck. I've got a Maverick hybrid on order but I'm gonna take a good long look at the Rav4 if this is how things play out at 90k.
The one he’s driving is not a hybrid ,he’s got the 2.0 four cylinder.They don’t make an FX4 hybrid,only regular four cylinders an get the all wheel drive ,different transmissions on all wheel drive. I haven’t heard of any other one’s doing this he just got a lemon good thing he’s got a warranty,they should replace it after this .
Very different engine and tranny in this truck. You might search for long-term reports on the hybrid version.
The hybrid has an entirely different transmission which is super reliable. He was also supposed to change the transmission fluid every 30k and he went 80k without changing it. So that's on him for not maintaining it.
@@themidnighttavern6784 Exactly these transmissions are not the greatest, keeping up with maintenance is a must.
@@ShortHandedNow The e-cvt in the hybrids is extremely reliable and robust, far more reliable than basically any conventional automatic or manual transmission. The 8 speed in the 2.0 is just kind of average. I haven't heard of a ton of issues, but I haven't heard of lots of high mileage examples either.
I know it is not related but my GMC Canyon did really weird things when the battery voltage was low. 4wd would not work, radio and other issues. As soon as I got a new battery everything worked. Apparently so many things rely on voltage that things really go bonkers. Greetings from waterdown Ontario Canada.
This was a wild ride brother.
Those powwows were incredible. Good luck with the truck. 🤙
Great Video Daniel ! That Pow Performance was Mega !
Unlike most im not gonna 💩 on ford………. This can happen with any brand at any time. Sometimes you get a great truck and sometimes some come with problems. Ain’t nothing in this world built to last forever. Hope you get your truck going again at 💯.
My Honda Ridgeline did the same thing around 100000kms my rpm was very jerky searching for gears. Got a transmission failure light. Honda did a few things to try to fix it. Worked for maybe a few day before getting same error. Had to completely replace my transmission under warranty. Now at 172000kms and havent had an issue since.
I started ut interested in the Mav issue, but ended up being more interested in your pows. that was cool.
People just help yourself and buy a Toyota or Honda. Much less headache. BTW Daniel: Did you change the transmission oil at 60,000 miles?
Maintenance schedule says 150k. Unless most of the miles is towing, changing the oil should’ve a factor.
@@eray9934those same engineers also claim 7500 mile oil changes are okay when they aren’t.
I was thinking getting marvick but thank you bro! i will keep my corolla for awhile:)
Don’t eat too much fry bread brother 👍🏽I have a fully loaded Lariat AWD 250hp turbo ..love my
Truck .. no problems yet at 18000 miles 2years old this December I’m also from NorCal Vacaville area
I’m also from Nor cal vacaville
Damn last time I saw your video you got new tires. Mine just went down at 31k miles/1yr in. Definitely getting the esp warranty..
29:13 After seeing all those faults when you got to this point makes me think the dealership should check the ground connections to the engine and transmission. Bad ground connections can cause a lot of problems in modern vehicles where most everything is done with electric like the power steering.
Do you frequently drive without the under engine bay aero plates (not really skid plates)? Maybe excessive moisture is affecting a few of the ground connections
Glad you got it home. Definitely interested to see what the outcome is
We need that update video for sure!
I hope the dealer isn't screwing you over 4 weeks later... Give us an update video if you can. I personally would be SO mad. The fixed it around ~80K, so SINCE they didn't fix it right and it died ~10k miles later and that includes uses fresh fliud during their service job... You better contact FORD corporate in Detroit.
Enjoyed the video, I was going to buy a Maverick, but after watching this video, they just lost a sale. Thanks for sharing, will watch how it goes. I’m curious as to how the dealership handles the situation. The gas mileage was the catch for me , I get 13.9 mpg in a suv vehicle I own and 10 mpg in an Italian sports car I can’t drive slow 😂. I tell ya “Built Ford Tough “ ha, not so tough. Good luck bro
I really enjoy the Powwow videos.. Glad you made it home safely.. I bet they have to replace the whole transmission.. best of luck Daniel!
Im waiting for Toyota or Honda to make their small truck! Btw thanks for sharing your beautiful culture with us.
I really love your truck and journey.. i drive a 2001 tacoma w 400k. Hoping these new hybrid trucks get worked out
His truck wasn't a hybrid
01 tacoma is a beast
@bodyzoasispersonaltraining9186 Currently the hybrid can't be used with the 4k tow package, only the 2.0 ecoboost with the 8 speed transmission can. All mavs with the 7 pin and 4 pin connectors of the back have the 4k tow ability, the hybrid right now is limited to 2k towing and only has the 4 pin connector in the back.
I have a 2001 4Runner limited 422 k. Everything runs fine, leaks oil.
@@the305hauler yeah no body wants a 2wd truck. Atleast I'd never.
Once I lose confidence in a car, I can no longer include it on my long trips. This why I keep an older Toyota in the drive way.
Legendary Ford quality!
notice that these problems didn't happen until everything got wet. it's probably an electrical fault (bad ground or water intrusion in a connector).
I almost got a bronco sport which has a similar transmission. Then I went on a owners group and saw people were having transmission issues so I backed out of the deal and put down 10k extra for a ridgeline. I wished ford could make these cool vehicles way more durable like honda and toyota does with theirs, but these are pretty new, so i hope that all gets worked out so they can go 2 or 300k miles without issues like that.
Bought a 22 Ridgeline last summer. Runs amazing with now issues. Have 30k on it already.
@@RgME0311 Thats awesome. Ive been loving my 23 ridgeline so far too. I just installed led lights in the interior, bed, and license plate lights. Next im getting roof rails to max out my cargo capacity.
I use to work for honda manufacturing in Indiana we made the civic. one rolls off the line every 56 seconds !!!!!!!!!! I have seen engines blow up driving them off the line, they go about a mile to a big parking lot.. It happen more than once !! like i said i worked there , i bought the Maverick......
@@user-ye7le1dj4t ok, and then it gets taken care of right away. Where as ford will have you waiting 2 weeks up to two months just to look at the problem. Not even fix it, which is insane since its supposed to be an american car with the perks of getting parts quickly being in the usa. Every car thats mass produced will have a good deal of lemons, especially modern vehicles where almost all the components rely on electronics. What matters is how the company goes about solving the issues that happen. My dearler told me they would take it in the day of if anything should happen. Where as every ford service garage near me told me it would be 2 weeks to a month. The good thing is ford will put you in a car while your curent vehicle is getting fixed but that still sucks. Also, while you've seen plenty of civics die before leaving the lot. The ones that don't die will go hundreds of thousands of miles before anything major goes on them, excluding electronics because no matter what make you get thats always a potential problem now a days. Also Ive been in the bronco sport owners group on fb as well as the ridgeline owners group and I see a lot less issues being talked about on ridgelines than I did on the bronco sport owners group. Both groups have like 10 to 15k members on it. A lot of bronco sports which have the same transmission as the maverick suffer from transmission failure. Where as the ridgelines ive only seen 1 or 2 posts about electronics bugging out within the first few weeks of ownership showing that its likely a defect that can be resolved under warrentee. Lastly honda has a life time powertrain warrenty. Ford pretty much tells you you're screwed after 60,000 miles, unless you pay a ton more money for extended warrenty.
@@user-ye7le1dj4tlol imagine comparing quality control do their job compared to this piece of shit getting through ford’s and ruining this guy’s day. Ford wishes they had the reliability of Honda.
Good to know about this, Thank You, I was really curious how these popular Maverick Trucks would Hold Up
I think I'm going to cancel my 2024 maverick order. I'm going to try to get a 2023 Tacoma while it still has the V6 and the access cab with usable doors, the 2024 has none of these features. I don't want to have issues with the turbos down the road.
Enjoyed the video especially your Powwow dances. Most of your problems are electronic. Cars are now 100% computer controlled, even the dial gear shift. Really hope your warranty covers this, because replacing the transmission and the main computer will cost many thousands of dollars.
These are great, real use videos that give a good perspective on what you use it for. Keep ‘em coming.
Whatever caused the first valve body to fail also took out the second one. Needs a whole new unit for peace of mind.
I used to have a little red check cashing buddy... till the booze got him. that's why this guy can afford the truck I won't get into it, but he can afford it
Mavericks are 1970's vehicles made to compete with the Nova back in the days
No transmission will survive that many miles without service. The manufacturer's claims of "lifetime" fluid is bullshit. If you want your transmission to last, change out the fluid every 30-40k miles.
Damn ford quality
I've driven 3 different Ford trucks with different companies I've worked for. All the way from a 2001 Ford Ranger to a 2018 F-150. All 3 had transmission problems. In fact, the 2 newer ones both had the transmission completely fail under 50k miles. These little mavericks seem like cool trucks, but I'll never be able to buy a Ford after the experience I've had.
Pretty disappointed it’s having these issues already. I have one in order but this might convince me to get something else.
Already. It’s a 90,000+ vehicle. Time doesn’t determine durability of transmissions but use.
@matthewgaines10 90,000 miles on a new car is nothing. I would be upset if I had transmission issues with double that.
I bought a new Ford Ranger pickup in 1990. It blew two transmissions by 80,000 miles.
90,000 miles in one year. I don't think I've ever seen that outside of a trucker. I mean it's a Ford but that many miles in such a brief period I wonder if even a Toyota would of survived.
Thanks for making the decision for me on getting this Maverick, and that would be a big fat NOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Great vids man. Very unfortunate about the truck. Hopefully it gets fixed and see you on the road !
i have a 2022 ford maverick 2.0 larrit color is blue had it a year I've got 19.000 miles on it i love it
These FORDS are Factory Recalls from the beginning
Thanks for the video. Now I know what to avoid. Fix or repair daily😂
If you can't that heavy, you should've gotten the Maverick trimmer. It's a little bit taller, and it's made for off or old. for me, a Ford Maverick is so hard to get that I am actually looking at the Honda ridgeline. but I'm waiting for the updated 2024 version before I go drop my money down.
Shit man, sounds like the dealership threw a PowerShift transmission in there when you weren't looking lol
If you plan on keeping this after a new transmission. Or even if you decide on another car. Bro… you need to do a transmission service around 40-60K especially if you plan on driving 80k+ in a little over a year lol
I would change the fluid and filter at the 20k mileage and keep it up... I Look at the fluid and if it is not the nice red color and smells, out it goes, regardless of mileage...
Wow what a bummer, glade you got home though...
Definitely looking forward to your follow up video on flipper, the Maverick. I am really interested to know what transpires. And if the root cause of your problem is a wonky battery and bad grounds.
In my Ram Promaster City van, if the battery goes dead, you cannot remove the key. It needs a good battery to unlock the ignition key retainer lock.
These are neat looking compact trucks, but this is one reason why i don't buy the newest version of a new model year vehicle. There's always issues it seems like that a manufacturer doesn't catch during their trials and testing and then it feels like the consumer becomes the guinea pig for their engineers and such for finding the issues. I know the truck isn't that old, but the mileage is high for the age, and I'm hoping that this doesn't effect more drivers in the next few years that start to get into that 80k-100k mileage range and they start to see similar issues. I guess the good thing will be though, you're finding it now and this might prompt the engineers at Ford to get some more understanding to make improvements on new production vehicles and new fixes for future trucks already on the road.
This isn't a Ford issue. He didn't read the manual and see that he should have changed the trans fluid at 30k miles under severe duty. He more than doubled that. Not the trucks fault at all.
love watching his Maverick videos
Seeing the Built Ford Tough logo in between all the warning screens really made me laugh.
SO....these issues are showing up in pandemic era builds for many makes. The computer chips and builds are bad. Mechanicals seem okay. But the systems are so integrated and computer driven that all this stuff can fail with just one glitchy chip here or there. My Santa Cruz is starting to have issues at 30,000 miles. Same kind of stuff.
Not cool beans, on breaking at 90k hope they fix it under warranty, I have a bed topper from Amazon on my Ram truck it was only 125 dollars, my 2013 Ram 1500 has V6 does 23 mpg highway and 16 city
He should really get a bed cover. Cheap roll ups are only $200+ on eBay, Amazon etc.
Scary the closer you get to the end of that warranty.
Ford please make this truck with a manual transmission. Great video!
Why I don't buy Ford. Bought a new 2006 6.0 and was screwed. Never again. Never had one problem with my Cummings or Taco. Just my opinion. Sorry for you're bad experience brother. F them
I feel bad bro cause you sounds really excited and happy about this truck, Ford need to be better ,change it for a Tacoma bro
Sounds like torque converter went bad. Happen too me last week. Sucky feeling
I know the truck has 80k miles, but highway miles are super easy on a transmission. This should not have happened to you. What a bummer.
Great vid.
You should get a bed cover on the back. Keeps stuff from getting blown out on the highway.
Or maybe even a camper shell and you can sleep in the bed. 🤷🏻♂️
Honestly can’t blame the dealer too much. They probably contacted their tech line who said to replace the valve body and so that’s why they did. No way they could test drive it until it got back to this point.
I feel sad that you're such a nice person and have had so much trouble with your Maverick. Thank you for your video because now I know I won't buy a Ford. I have a 2015 Toyota Camry that has 40000 miles on it right now. I bought it with 35,000 miles on it and it was due for brakes and rotors. I'm hoping for the best with this car but I would love a truck that looks like the Maverick.
Daniel -You drive this truck very long distances at higher speeds -usually loaded.
*Definitely get a transmission cooler and also get a transmission fluid temp guage (wireless?) to go on your dash* -This should take care of all your problems and the cost is maybe $100.
Once the tranny fluid gets too hot it needs to be replaced. Maybe there is a synthetic fluid (RedLine, Amsoil) that can take heat better. I am a big proponent of LubeGuard transmission additives = helps keep those solenoids from gumming up and the fluid cooler
The 4K Tow Package has a transmission cooler. I believe Daniels Mav has it since he has the 4-pin and 7-pin tow connectors
@@BertoDeMampcorrect. He does have the 4k package. The larger fan, higher capacity radiator, and trans cooler are shared between the fx4 and 4k tow packages. Which he has both
@@BertoDeMampYou are correct. All Mavs to date (08/2023) that have the 7 pin and 4 pin connectors in the back have the 4k tow package with transmission cooler.
I'm sure the trans temps are fine but ford recommends changing the fluid at 30k for severe service and he didn't change it for another like 50k
No, First, Change the Fluid and Filter a lot....
FORD (Fix Or Repair Daily) Ford cars we make them to sell quick as we can and we will worry about your problems with multiple recalls. It will work correctly eventually.
Bummer to hear the trans went out. I noticed that it was asking you to confirm that the parking brake was set. Then popped a little message on the screen asking if the parking brake was set and I didnt see you attempt to press the 'ok' button to confirm it. So i wonder if thays why it wouldnt let you take the key out is because it was never confirmed that the parking brake was set.
And for those wondering, yes the parking brake indicator pops up on the dash. As well as I'm sure the system sees that the parking brake has been actuated. Except since the okay button was not pressed to confirm that the parking brake actually did engage physically, the system would not allow him to remove the key. As the computer has no way of knowing if the parking brake is physically working.
Good luck man. Love how that truck looks like. But they don't make em like they use to.
Buy a Cheap mexico made rust bucket. Lots Of Luck to you and the buying public.
I had so many tranny and steering issues with my chevy, (Chevy man here all my life) I bought 2018 Dodge Challenger. I loved it , but just wasn't practical. No issues with the Challenger. I bought a new 2022 Maverick Lariat F/X4 in Jan 2022. My first new Ford. I hope I don't have issues. I have two recalls. I need to get the Mav back to the dealer. I hope this wasn't a mistake again, buying this Maverick.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but from my experience, when my family had fords. Always had issues. My uncle was the lucky one who has a 2012 Explorer with 230k miles on it. Backup camera doesn’t work and is acting up tho
This is insane. My 98 volvo has 217k miles on it and my 98 silverado has 326k miles on it with no engine or transmission issues. Newer cars are absolute junk
I think the 90k in less than a year is the issue
@@jayboegs6268No. Highway miles are easier on the transmission. 25k city miles is about equal to 100k Highway miles.
You travel alot in a yr.
I'm only at 10,000 on my 22 truck.
Lucky u had extended warranty
This the reason why I never traded in my 14yr old truck. In case this happens.
My 09 RAM with 217,000 miles still going strong since the day I got it new in 09.
Don't trade in your good working car . Keep as a backup
It a great looking lil truck! man thank you for sharing! Ford Quality just isn't good anymore!
I don't know where people are getting this "30,000 mi" service interval from. I downloaded the manual, and it says 150,000 miles for normal conditions. He did not indicate that he was operating in severe conditions. Just driving a lot of miles in a short time is not severe, especially since they are most likely highway miles.
I like these life vlogs not just takling about mavricks !!
Damn Daniel I had high hopes for the Maverick. Thanks to your reviews I'm getting the new 2024 Tacoma and never buying an American vehicle. Good luck with the fix.
Everyone is saying he did not change the transmission fluid and filter ever..... That is the problem....
