[@RKDriver]

Corporate bean counters push these companies to cheap out on every little detail to max out profit while keeping production costs low. Everything that goes on some of these cars are about the lowest possible bid from around the world. No pride from companies (like Ford) to be able to claim their vehicles will last for 150+ k miles. None of them really make that claim but it would be refreshing to have one do it.

[@richardsgmail]

They have sucked for years.

[@666dynomax]

bout the last 25 years yes.

[@sdcoinshooter]

It’s true, for a long-long time they have been going down hill. It’s also a shame, because many years ago (like 20) they were quality vehicles. I have a Ford (hybrid) that is 10 years old and 85,000 miles. Maybe I am lucky, but it is running excellent, the battery shows 94% efficiency and I am getting 45MPG. More and more I think I am the lucky exception rather then the rule. If it lasts another 15,000 miles I will be content, but they should last 150,000 miles or more without any issues. I hope Ford turns it around with their quality, time will tell.

Ya; some companies know what quality assurance is - Toyota; Honda, Japanese learned QA from the USA post WWII but The USA largely dumped it (see Deming) To a good degree USA brands after being burnt by the Japanese have gone back to it somewhat. Some German companies but largely missing elsewhere. What it means is you check the parts before you put them in and you spot check your final product - even tearing it apart weld by weld - to make sure they are built properly.

I’m 66, and recall the days of my youth, when the big 3 were building great quality cars that were exciting and beautiful. But somehow in 1973: things began to go downhill for them, and it’s not gotten much better since. But for some strange reason, the Japanese brand started catching on in the 70s due to the fuel crisis, and the public caught onto them because they were durable and great value for the money, and they slowly eclipsed everything built the World over. It’s not that Americans and Europeans can’t build a Toyota. It’s they don’t care to.

[@Drontis]

Definitely get in the other lane with teslas.. they’re always phantom braking. I’ve never even heard that term before but they really suck to be behind.

[@randyking1715]

Ford quality is non-existent. Went to make a Service Appointment today with my local Ford Dealer to address a Recall. Was told that the next available appointment is June 2024. Called around to other Ford Dealers within a 50 mile radius and told the same thing. Asked one Service Center what was going on and they freely admitted that all Ford Service Centers are overwhelmed right now because of the high number of recalls flooding Ford Service Centers. NICE!

[@U.S.S.SOUTHSIDE8369]

I heard that Chrysler, specifically the Jeep Division, in one metropolitan area, is so backed up with warranty work the dealerships are outsourcing the work to independent shops.😮😅

[@stephenfestus9268]

Here's a question about bad gas. I was told never to buy gas from a station when you see the gas delivery truck there. The reason I was told was that as the gas flows in the tank it stirs up all of the sludge and water at the bottom and you'll be putting in your tank. I know there are probably line filters at the station, but it has been something I've always followed. What are your thoughts?

[@StepheMauro-kh1px]

One time after a small bender consisting of one part beer 3-4 cases - one part kamikaze shots. 40. One part days two - and one part egg sandwiches 6 - the bad gas I produced could have been implemented into a new quarter mile record even though I was driving a Vega GT wagon !! if I could have used that stuff in a nitrous like injection System records would have fallen

Toyota Tacoma made in Mexico we call them Tacos

[@phire4694]

Ford maverick hybrid here amazing truck, minor recalls that are as basically software updates and I’m getting 45 mpg

[@fordmaverickmaniac]

My Mav hybrid on my channel had the software updates and the side air bags replaced. It was no big deal.

[@johnguel9023]

As a previous Maverick owner that drove brand new until 20k miles I can also attest to how poor quality these trucks are being made. I had many issues including already needing a new exhaust heat exchanger part that I waited over half a year for so driving with a check engine light for that long. The maverick hybrid also has an issue of grabby brakes at low speeds so if your in traffic or at drive thru the car could suddenly jerk violently at slow speeds. And many other countless issues including radio software issues . Got tired of the classic ford motto. Nothing wrong with it so we can't fix it. Went and traded for a Tacoma and never looking back.

[@nunyabeeswax3936]

Bring back American Motors.............vehicles that made sense

[@Michael-yi4mc]

AMC Pacer looks like a egg

[@tomollie]

Its not a problem because Scotty will show us how to fix it !!

[@sylvainlaurence1554]

Love to see that 😂😂😂

[@caleblewis3463]

Direct injection has a larger fuel system volume my 15 Chevy truck holds about a gallon of gas, that would be about 50 miles b4 you deplete what good gas you have in the lines.

[@Bull53]

Last Ford I had was a2004 model. Never Again!

[@clints8731]

My son works at a Ford dealership as a lub tech and told me don't buy a Ford unless you hate your life. I thought that was a little harsh but he's a pretty sharp kid. He's in mechanics school.. At least they look good.

[@sylvainlaurence1554]

My son friend works in Toyota dealership, told us the same, don’t buy Toyota anymore……

[@alau18]

you bring up a good point regarding brake lights, I’ve always wondered when my Toyota slows down by itself ….IE the brakes intervene by themselves or the car slows down because the car ahead is slowing down …..do the brake lights come on???

[@gpoman9988]

My 2023 Maverick Hybrid has been flawless mechanically. I’m most worried about the cheap plastics and materials used. Don’t seem like they will hold up for a long time.

[@fordmaverickmaniac]

My 2022 Mav hybrid I show on my videos also has been great!

[@brianxcunningham]

I got a 24 Ecoboost. I think they worked the bugs out.

[@ImigrentfromMars]

Ford kept telling me the same thing '' Nothing wrong just drive it''

[@richsweeney1115]

So.......thats when you go to corperate.....

[@qkopp279]

I have a 2022 ford Maverick hybrid. So far, it’s been good to me but only has 20k miles. Fuel economy is great, but I have had a coolant leak, the 6 recalls have gotten annoying, but it’s a good car. I’m not completely sold on the Atkinson engine yet. It’s noisy, makes weird noises, etc. It’s a shame bc it is a fantastic idea. It’s great for how I use it, but this isn’t a car I’ll keep past warranty. Lucky, the values hold high so I have a second one on order (ecoboost this time) and will still fetch nearly MSRP for my old one after 2 years. I’ve heard the 2023s and upwards are far more reliable from the forums etc. really only the very very early 2022s have had these issues and it seems ford knew and pumped them out the factory still.

[@GAJake]

I'm years away from being able to afford a new vehicle, but I'm really leaning towards a Nissan frontier at this point. Maverick seemed cool but I just knew there would be problems with is being a new vehicle.

[@greyballer1671]

My Maverick works great. No issues.

[@fordmaverickmaniac]

​@sailyui I own 2 and they work great too.

[@AnthonyRossi17]

I have a 2021 Bronco Sport and I can attest to the paint chipping easily with mine as well. I had a ton of recalls to deal with, but other than those things it’s been great. I’m only concerned about that stupid belt driven oil pump they put on the 1.5L 3 cylinders. If that goes it’ll grenade the engine.

[@carpetqwerty]

Having one lemon doesn’t mean you can condemn the whole lineup. These trucks are awesome.

[@fordmaverickmaniac]

Yes, Scott reads one letter and tells the public not to buy. I own 2 that I show in my videos and they are great.

[@warias2420]

Yeah, cause Ford has a history of making great reliable vehicles

[@cyberneticghost47]

Got the ecoboost it's good .the hybrid is the one with issues.

[@ryanaddy1135]

Teslas brake lights should turn on with the regeneration brakes. They only come on when they tap the brakes right before a complete stop.

[@timothykeith1367]

If Ford had built the motors for the Chevy Vega, the Vegas that weren't rusty would now be collector cars. Vegas were nice looking small cars. You'd probably be able to buy reproduction body parts for your Vega.

[@tomgray6123]

Man when I got bad gas in my car I just open the windows 😂

[@DanielRundellpnw833]

I had a ford maverick 2.0 ecoboost AWD had no problem with it had 25000 miles on it did fit life any more so I traded it in for an suv

[@skyhookspirits]

One of the most important keys to life is "situational awareness". You need to be aware of things around you.

[@RobertoRodriguez-cp6kb]

Which is best Car or Suv for family of 4 last longer won’t be issue travel on within states

[@badman187ification]

I just noticed a tesla I was behind slowing up with no brake lights on. Had no clue what was happening. It was almost like when a motorcycle slows down from downshifting, no warning for anyone behind.

[@TexasDragon3907]

Most ev's can turn the electric motor into a generator and use the friction to slow down, It's called regenerative braking. The car will do this automatically and it usually doesn't activate the brake light. It's certainly a safety hazard with how quickly the regen can slow the vehicle down without warning to everyone else that it is doing so.

[@polyboy080]

the ONLY Mavericks with problems are the hybrids. My 2.0 AWD 4 cylinder has given me ZERO issues

[@Goodguy20212]

How about the Toyota recalls and the Honda recalls and Mazda major recalls you don't talk about them why

[@shakerman55]

He can’t recall!🤣

[@shiftmotorsports9803]

That would go against the narrative

[@seanremlinger2277]

If we can get more streamlined or standardized hybrids, it'll surely outpace all strictly electric vehicles in a few years. Im interested in seeing if hydrogen-petrol hybrid engines will take off in the next 4-5 years, seems really promising out of the japanese market.

[@sylvainlaurence1554]

Forget about all hydrogen projects, take to much energy to produce hydrogen…even Toyota drop it .

[@andytennant4094]

Didn’t this guy put out a video last year calling the Maverick the best vehicle on the road???

[@americanme3239]

I had a cavalier wagon.. 4 cyl. Best little running wagon I've owned. One day I put In 12 dollars of gas in it.. had to be dirty gas.. cause it never ran good again. My mechanic and his dad couldn't fix it. and COMMERCIALS. How do we fix that.?

[@brandonstclair6530]

There is no law in the USA causing steel tanks to be replaced. The law is that all tanks installed after 2008 have to be double walled. So the old stations have steel tanks and the newer ones have tanks that are a fiberglass outer wall and steel inner wall or both walls are fiberglass.

[@mrmrlee]

The letter sounds bizarre anyways...Catalytic converter glowing red? The exhaust down the pipe isn't hot enough for that. As to the smell, Ford intentionally runs engines super rich for a few minutes on a cold start to heat the converter as fast as possible, then the mixture leans out. The rich mixture creates an odor for a short while, I've noticed it myself, totally normal. Very surprised Scotty seems unaware of this fact.

[@DirkDiggler6903]

I kept getting bad gas for Philliips 66 "ONCUE". Would you believe 7-11 gas runs with problems!

[@MattMcGrathOfficial]

My maverick has been relatively problem free as well besides the turn signal and airbag recalls. It’s a great little truck, but I am a little concerned about long term reliability. It’s a lease that ends in January 2025 but I’m over mileage allowance and curious as to what to do…?

[@stevenlageson1868]

Love the pop ups in the upper right corner that go with what Scotty is talking about. Most of the time very funny!
