  2. Sir I have problem with my 2022maverick (I do enjoy the vehicle) the smell it’s close to a manure still. I’ve had it to the service deptx2or3 times they changed the cab filter and ionized it. Gosh it’s back. If I take it on long travel from my home to my daughters in Alabama (Fl my home). I receive a headache. I’ve read other cord trucks have same problem. Is there anything at this time to solve this problem? I believe when I brought this truck the dealship knew it-it was traded in with 5000 miles. And all prettied up to sell. Thankyou

  3. My husband ordered a Maverick over a year ago. Said never got it in. Finally traded his 2021 Toyota
    Excellent condition for Ford Ranger.. Same year more miles. I’m 80 and can’t even get in it. I feel he was taken..86 years old. Finally found maverick..wants 4000 dollars more. Disgusting

  4. I have been over a year trying to get a 2020 Ford Explorer repaired where it is not a death trap. We have a issue with the transmission going into gear when setting in park it will go to drive or reverse. Back out of a parking spot and it will go into gear you may be in reverse and it will take off in drive or go to natural. It will be in park and roll out of the parking spot. It gets a carbon monoxide oder in the car when driving and have to shut off the heater or ac roll down windows. When you fill with gas it will spew out of the tank after it clicks off the pump. This is all dangoures and know one seems to really care and I guess that it is no big problem till someone gets killed. I just hope it is not anyone in my family as I have been over a year trying to get this repaired broke down on the road and call a dealer and be told to call back on Monday and being a 1000 miles from home. Much more to tell please someone with some kind of authority call me so this can be fixed before it turns into a murder as I see it if anyone is killed by this car it will be murder as we have had it in for repairs and given back and say nothing is wrong and we can not get home and we are broke down or having problems highway speed it will go into 4×4 and I have pictures of it telling us to take it to the dealer and they say nothing wrong. It is in for repairs again and they say they can not find a problem this is the 7th visit and the selling dealer Smith Ford in Lordsburg New Mexico had it 6 time and has refuse to give us repair orders of it being there. I want this fixed or our money back we ask for a buy back and was refused the next step if it is not fixed and safe will be the lemon law. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GO ON A TRIP THAT IT HAS NOT SPEWED OUT GAS OR WENT INTO 4X4 AT HIGHWAY SPEED OR GOING INT O THE WRONG GEAR WHEN DRIVING.
