engine not reaching temperature

[maiden87]

I have a 2022 maverick xlt hybrid and the engine does not reach the optimal temperature most of the time. i don't know what the issue could possibly be or is there an issue? other then that everything else seems normal, car is driving as it should so i really need someone to help me with this.

It's probably the cooling system. The most common culprit i can think of is a stuck open thermostat, which might not give a proper warming to the engine. also check the coolant temperature sensor or the radiator but that will less likely to be the issue if the car is driving properly.

Agree with what's already mentioned, it might be a stuck open thermostat not letting the engine warm up. Hybrid engines usually run cool but still able to reach the optimal temp? If it's still under warranty, just have the dealer tinker with the HVAC.

It could be a thermostat issue, where it's stuck open and not allowing the engine to warm up properly, just try getting it checked out

It might just be typical hybrid behavior since these engines don't always run smoothly. How long do you usually drive?

do you live in cooler weather? bcs it's actually pretty normal for hybrids, especially in cooler weather or during city driving, to not always reach the traditional mid point operating temperature you might see in a conventional gas only vehicle.
As long as it's not overheating or throwing a check engine light, it's likely just the normal operation of the hybrid system

That's absolutely correct. Hybrid cooling systems work in a different way and typically run cooler than traditional engines, particularly in colder weather or during stop-and-go situations. This is part of their normal operation
