Booked my #FordMaverick on day one in 2021, waited till 2022 to take delivery, and loved every mile. But silence on my last post since Friday is disappointing.
This isn't just a minor issue—a factory defect in the 12V terminal eyelet design under the seat sparked, dropped BJB voltage to 3V, and killed the original battery. Now @Ford Franklin, MA has hit me with a cascading $5,500 total repair bill:
• $2,200 for a 12 v battery replacement, & check-engine diagnostics caused by the failure, along with TPS battery
• $3,300 for the entire main terminal cable replacement
All of this stems directly from a manufacturing design defect in the high-current terminal layout.
@Ford @jimfarley98—early reservation holders shouldn't foot a $5.5K bill for a dangerous electrical flaw. Please step up and make this right!

I've been running a coding agent entirely on my own hardware. The model turned out to be the easy part.
The setup: OpenAI's Codex CLI on a Windows PC, a small Python proxy, and open-weight models in LM Studio on a 64 GB Mac Studio. Prompts and code never leave my network, and there's no per-token bill.
It broke three ways, and none was fixed by a better model:
→ Compaction timed out. The Mac needs about 4 minutes to reread 50K tokens, and timeouts tuned for the cloud gave up first.
→ Asked for a "handoff summary", the model tried to save it as a file, which broke the server's output parser.
→ The file-editing tool was silently dropped, because the local server didn't support its type.
Every fix landed in a layer around the model: configuration, a proxy acting as a policy gateway, and rules for the agent.
For leaders weighing local agents: open weights are free; reliable agents are not. Budget for the harness.

Grok confirms the issue - @Ford , @jimfarley98 , #CustomerSatisfaction #FordDealers
- **The post is from @sam_beera**, an early 2022 Ford Maverick owner who reserved in 2021 and took delivery in 2022, complaining of a sparking 12V terminal eyelet defect under the seat that dropped BJB voltage to 3V and killed the battery, resulting in a $5,500 dealer repair quote split between battery/diagnostics and main terminal cable replacement.
- **This matches Ford TSB 22-2340 exactly**, which covers 2022 Maverick hybrids built on or before May 13, 2022, for no-crank/no-start issues due to a loose or detached eyelet solder connection (C1617E) on the battery cable assembly, with the recommended fix being full replacement of the 14290 wiring harness.
- **Owners of early Mavericks have reported identical electrical failures** on forums, often requiring cable harness replacement; affected vehicles may qualify for warranty or customer satisfaction coverage depending on build date and mileage, though out-of-warranty costs for parts and labor frequently reach thousands.
Reserved my Maverick in ’21, delivered in ’22 & loved it. But a defective 12V terminal eyelet connection sparked, dropped BJB voltage to 3V, cut vehicle power & fried the battery.
Ford Franklin, MA wants $3.5k to replace the cable!
@Ford @jimfarley98 please help make this right!
