Mainly that there is no grab bar above driver’s door. Then there is having to select ECO mode every trip! 😧

 

I agree but I knew it going into my purchase

 

Interior lever/button to open the gas tank door. Now anyone can just push and have access to our tanks. Also the ability to turn off the seat belt display.

 

use them, they save lives

 

Interior rattles drive me crazy. I’m at 923 miles and the dash rattles regularly and if someone sits in the passenger seat something over there consistently rattles. Speakers rattle if you turn the volume up past 15. It’s a cheap vehicle, but not really. My xlt luxury cost over $30k msrp! Quality control and maybe better execution of a mostly plastic interior to minimize rattles. Really my only complaint so far.

Dealer replaced my dash had missing parts
Now rattle free

 

plastic interior way too easy to scratch up - it's like anything that even rubs slightly on it causes scuffs. Besides that I have absolutely 0 complaints after 10k miles.

 

I bought a '22 eco, one of the earlier ones. No complaints, zero.

 

Recalls without current resolution. Examples: Engine fire (23V380) and Reprogramming of powertrain control module (23E09). Promises, Promises - maybe sometime next year?

 

But they run just fine as is.

 

Sometimes my driver's door locks when I get out and close it. I guess that's why there is a keypad to get back in if your keys are inside.

 

No reason… that’s your perspective. Adding exponential more starts to your vehicle than required isn’t mechanically sound. And yes I’ve been wrenching since the late 70’s.

It was designed that way, so mechanical soundness took it into consideration, therefore all is well.

 

Having to change settings that will increase my mpg every time I start it. Like eco and traction control.

 

All of the navy blue trim still in the interior with the half-assed Black Appearance Package. All of the blue pieces should be black or gray. Love the exterior, freaking HATE the interior.

 

huh? you HATE it but you bought it ?

 

Paint is very thin. I already have small stone chips on front fenders. Thankfully I bought a paint marker from ford which covers up the marks. The ceramic coating I put on helps also.

 

That's why I bought the dealer applied protection coating that's supposed to warranty the paint and interior for 7 years, cheaper than aftermarket ceramic coating.

 

For the price of the Maverick, the interior is fine. My 2015 Prius stock interior with the middle "flying buttress" is really annoying and takes up a lot of unnecessary room. Seats were the boring soft grey. Maverick at least has colored stitching in the seats.

 

I do not mind the overly plastic interior, however, it scratches way, way too easy. And really, there is no reason for that; designers choose a molded "pattern" that has "sharp edges" rather than a more rounded, pebble style finish. I understand they did not want to do a fake leather pattern, but I'm surprised no one did any testing with the pattern they did choose for durability. Again, I don't care if the door panels or dash are hard plastic (rather than soft touch materials) but it should not scratch and mark up so easily.

 

After 10 mos. and 7,000 miles, I have no scratches.

 

The cap-less fuel filler system. I had some gas in a 5 gallon container and tried to pour into that tiny, ridiculous emergency funnel that Ford includes with the truck. Impossible. Plus none of my funnels (4 of them) fit in Ford's crazy filler neck. I think that in all of my years that I might have lost one cap. This is a case of over engineering something that didn't need it (I'm an engineer, by the way, and my wife has accused me of that occasionally). I might not have explained that very well, so take out that funnel, before you need it, and stick it in the filler tube. If you ever have to get a can of gas, make sure it comes with a spout and not just the open can to pour with.

 

Luckily in 55 years ive not ran out of gas nor have I had to get gas out of a can.. maybe im just lucky

 

I really don't have any complaints! For what this little truck is.

 

Me either. Luv it. Just what I need.

 

My biggest complaint. No rear window de over/digger even at the lariat level

I have a 24 and it is great fit and finish is outstanding.
I'll go with the Ford every time. Had lots of Rangers (1990 to 2012) back in the day and this is much nicer and rides better.

 

I wanna change my answer to 'That stupid warning sticker in the bed'. It's a 3"x12" warning sticker on the right side of the bed (Do only the drop in liners have em?). Was easy to peel off but based on how sticky the glue was, Ford planned it to be there forever. The next day every bit of dirt & leaves stuck to it, looked like someone gave Bigfoot a brazilian.
Came clean with some GoofOff but just seemed pointless.
Of course, 40 years from now when fully restored Mavericks are rolling across the Mecum auction floor someone will get top dollar cause they still have that stupid sticker.

 

Id keep that one , with the twin turbo its 1 of 1!

could be the garbage continental tires. replaced mine with michelin cross climate 2 tires, much less road noise.

 

Absolutely hate that it shifts way too early causing a lugging when accelerating in lower speeds. This apparently is Ford’s way of improving fuel economy, well I’ll spend little bit more in gas for a vehicle that shifts correctly!

 

Sure glad I got the hybrid .No shift just great gas mileage

 

I always though that lower Maverick trims could be better equipped.

 

No drivers side handle. I use the windshield post but I imagine the paint will wear out there sooner or later. Maybe I’ll take the headliner out and try to rig something up.

 

In the past when Ford removed the drivers handle you speak of... Ford said the steering wheel is sufficient.

 

Can't see end of hood. I'm too short and got an XL so I can't raise the seat. When I park in a public lot, I never get close enough so the back end is not safe from clipping, especially when two cars are passing each other in the aisle.

 

The seat does raise. It pumps up manually. Check out owners manual on line or in your ford app. I had to lower mine Same lever

 

After 13 months and 14,500 miles there are a few scratches inside and out but it's a truck, it gets used as a truck, I'll drive it 100,000 miles and sell it as a used truck, I don't intentionally try to scratch it but it happens, wifey's passenger side doors are dinging my doors, in the garage it happens, get over it.

 

You still don’t get it. No manufacture is going to pay a supplier to harden a starter past warranty. You example is apples and oranges. The auto start is there to help add to fleet mpg, to meet gov’t regulation.

You still don’t get it. The auto manufacture provides specs to parts manufacturers, of which they need them to meet their criteria. They must supply pre-production (or production) units for testing. IF they pass stringent tests, they get RFQs (request for quote) from a few suppliers that did pass testing.
