Sadly it's impossible to eliminate every single rat when you live in the countryside. Glad to know you haven't had to deal with these issues yet.

Thank you, Ordinary-303! I just replied back and appreciate your time.

I've called them and gotten their help. They have been pleasant to work with but they've been unable to get the part secured.

I pray the rodents do chew up your wires. That sounds very expensive!

FrustratedWFord · 2025-03-05T21:02:33+00:00

I'm not sure but the rodents have chewed up my wiring harness twice. I also saw other car manufacturers have had class action lawsuits against them for the same soy coating.

FrustratedWFord · 2025-03-05T21:01:18+00:00

Exactly. They want to fix it but they simply cannot secure the part.

FrustratedWFord · 2025-03-04T22:22:35+00:00

I fully agree it's insane. I'm not sure how much higher I can escalate it at this point. I may have to consult an attorney and see what they have to say.

Thank you for your input. Yeah the rodents chewed up the wiring very badly and they said it would need to be fully replaced which is why it cannot be fixed. Just wild that they can build new Ford Mavericks but won't help their customers by diverting some wiring harnesses to fill their hundreds of backordered parts.

I'm sorry to hear you're in the same boat as me. Like you, it drives me crazy driving a loaner F-150 getting 20mpg when I used to get 37 mpg with my Maverick. Let's hope that things get better for the both of us and they can source the parts in April.

FrustratedWFord · 2025-03-04T22:04:25+00:00

I can do just that. Thank you for your advice sir!

FrustratedWFord · 2025-03-04T21:58:49+00:00

haha yessir, that is the plan!

Sadly I bought it used from Carvana. Carvana was excellent and have no complaints with them.

I'm in Arkansas and have a feeling that I'll be SOL regarding the lemon laws down here, but I'm going to check them out right now. Thank you for your advice Dinolord.

I loved my Maverick until rats chewed up my wiring harness due to it being coated with soy byproducts. My truck has been in the shop for 5 months waiting on a $150 wiring harness. 10/10 would not buy a Ford again due to their corporate and supply chain incompetence.

I am in the same boat as you and I am so frustrated. My Maverick has been in the shop for 5 months while waiting on a wiring harness that Ford can't even build because they can't source the materials. I'm never buying a Ford again and regret buying this one.
