2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid complaints

The constant velocity axles are shot at 27k miles and the truck is stuck at the dealership for a month now until replacement CV axles become available. The issue started with a small vibration in the pedals while accelerating around 10 to 40 mph. The issue then progressed after about a week or two where everything shakes while accelerating. Especially while veering left. This is a known issue but Ford has not issued a recall. Some people are on their 3rd replacement by 50k miles.

There is no power to the vehicle at all (can't even unlock doors). We had the battery replaced and still no power.

CV axles started failing at 23k miles. Truck would shake at 52MPH. Billy Howell Ford Dealership technicians confirmed the CV axles showed abnormal wear and needed to be replaced. Techs stated they would replace the axles but the parts are back-ordered. Vehicle is now at 25k miles and shakes from 42MPH to 60MPH and is getting worse. Checked with dealership today and they have no ETA on parts from Ford.

While driving accelerator pedal became unresponsive. Steering and brakes still worked so I was able to coast to the side of the road. After shutting off the vehicle and restarting everything was fine.

Just recently I've noticed that when the engine is running and I'm stopped or parked the truck will "lurch". Almost as if I'm trying to hit the gas while parked or holding the brakes. Since this has started, I've also noticed that from 25mph to 60/65mph there is a violent vibration ONLY under acceleration (20-25% on the power meter) while the engine is running. Issue worsens depending on the mode the truck is in (worse under sport, better under ECO/Slippery). Whole truck will shake, body, steering wheel and all. Not sure if these two issues are related? I'm not sure if these are considered to be powertrain or if it's the engine. Not sure if I could have it inspected upon request because I can't pin point any mechanical abnormalities visually. I feel my safety and others may be a concern because the unknown of the issue. I'm not sure if the vehicle is breaking down, will break down, lose power or whatever the case may be. The vehicle has been reported to Ford for these issues with no resolve. No warning lamps or messages. The issue appeared to come out of no where. Wasn't doing it one day, began doing it the next.

Severe vibration when accelerating and/or going up a hill. As of now my safety has not been at risk, unless you count being scared out of my mind (just turned 76). How do I know it will not fail trying to avoid crazy/careless drivers! The cv axel has been back ordered since Oct 3th 2024. I don't understand why it could take so long for a new part to come in. This has been going on for at least 4 months, I thought it had something to do with tires which I got 4 new tires and the problem continued.

My CV axle on my front right failed prematurely and they have replaced under warranty, but I have come to find out that a lot of people in the 2022 Mavericks in 2023 Mavericks are having CV axle issues. They are getting them replaced between 20 and 40,000 miles. This seems like a severe issue and I’ve heard rumor that they are changing the design of the CV axle to prevent this in the future so I would think there should be a recall to force them to put the new designed CV axles in the 22 and 23 Mavericks to prevent this problem.

The last time I vehicle was sitting at the Ford dealership for more than two weeks. I ended up with a low battery warning in their Ford app after taking it back in with less than 36,000 miles they replaced the battery. It has been a year since then and the same issue has happened now that has been at Ford for over three weeks to fix the CV axle. Battery failure can leave. You stranded in remote locations with no way to start your vehicle which should be a safety concern. The other safety concern could be the reason that the electrical drains the battery could cause problems with the high-voltage battery causing fire. While researching the issue, I have discovered that this is a common problem with the 22 through 24 Mavericks and obviously the issue is not the battery the issue is the electrical system draining the battery.

Truck stay in 12v battery deep sleep. None of my cabin lights work, ambient lighting, remote start, nor does my ford pass app work because of this issue. Its been on going since about a month after purchase. So that is two plus years of this constant issue

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle, the power train warning light illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to shift into the intended gear. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond and decelerated to approximately 55 MPH. The contact stated that upon releasing and depressing the accelerator pedal again, the vehicle responded as needed. The contact stated that the automatic emergency braking system had engaged while there was no vehicle nearby. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V330000 (Power Train); however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and the dealer retrieved DTC code: P092977. The dealer determined that the GSM needed to be replaced due to a communication failure between the PCM and the Gear Shift Module (GSM). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

Started to experience heavy shaking and vibrations while accelerating. Vehicle only had 20,000 miles on it at that point. Reduced speed to maintain control of vehicle. Took to dealer and was told that it was a failed CV axle which had failed and needed replaced. Mechanic informed us that the Maverick was produced with faulty cv axles and this was a common problem and vehicle was unsafe to drive until replaced. Mechanic advised us that the other axle would likely fail as well and as no change had been made to the design the replacement axles will likely continue to fail unless ford provides a real fix.

Issue Description: The battery has been consistently failing. The battery has been replaced twice in 2024 already. On both occasions after replacing the battery, the new battery was drained and dead again within 48 hours. The battery totally loses power and has to be jumped off nearly daily, sometimes two and three times per day. The battery drains so low that the doors won't unlock with the key fob, no interior lighting or engine power. Safety - Vehicle constantly won't restart in rural locations with no vehicles around to jumpstart the vehicle. The Ford Service Center has inspected the vehicle on several occasions and placed the vehicle on it's diagnostic tool twice this year, but it never reveals anything that is draining the battery. There are no warning signs. These 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrids simply do not start, and FORD has no solution to these daily repetitive battery drains. Any time the engine is turned off, there is a very high probability that the truck will not restart without locating someone to hook up jumper cables and jumpstart the vehicle. There are hundreds and hundreds of online complaints about this very issue with the draining batteries on the 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrids. Yet, Ford refuses to issue a recall on the vehicles or make any efforts to resolve the outstanding issue for customers who have purchased these defective 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid Trucks. The customers are simply stuck with defective vehicles that won't start.

The engine will want to surge forward in a "pulsing" feel while stopped at a red light. No amount of braking force will keep the Ford Maverick from trying to lurch forward. It feels like someone is gently "pushing you from behind telling you to go..." This seems to happen when the engine is cold. Its done this since day one of ownership and it has now been nearly 3 years with no fix.

Vehicle shudders or shakes on acceleration. Seems to only happen during acceleration and doesn't feel like it throws the steering wheel around but more like the front end is just loose or something like a transmission slipping feeling.

Failure of CV axles. This is a very common failure of low mileage 2022-2024 ford mavericks. The dealership confirmed they are bad. The new axle is on backorder from ford so I am driving the vehicle while I wait for the new part. The symptoms are shaking while accelerating.

While driving the emergency brakes locked up and stopped me in the traffic. I tried to get the vehicle started but it did not start.The dashboard message said" automatic emergency breaking " The AAA mechanic said that the regular battery was not charging and this was confirmed by the mechanic at Gunns Automotive.

Ford has had a recall on my car for far too long causing me to lose money as I cannot rent it out until the recall is fixed

The driver side door has cracked/broken welds near the hinge area. I have had it inspected by the dealer and confirmed the issue. There were no warning lamps however the door does flex and this area excessively, and there is an audible squeak during door opening/closing.

I am constantly shown "deep sleep" to conserve the battery in my FORD app on my phone. I also do not have interior lights when I open the door or unlock the vehicle after sitting several hours or overnight. I have the vehicle back to the dealer multiple times to resolve this issue and am currently waiting on a BCM replacement to be completed. There were no warning lamps or messages on the truck itself only through the FORD application and the physical lack of interior lights when opening or unlocking the vehicle.

2 year old Truck died , changed battery and still is totally dead . Had to jump the truck to start . Problem is from battery to computer . Called ford and there’s no warranty since is 35000 miles power train . Very disappointment , did some searching and everybody is having the same problem . They said ford is charging $3000 to repair

CV axles in the 2022 Ford Maverick Fail Prematurely: This is a known and common problem, with no recall, TSB, or additional warranty from Ford. This results in severe shuttering during acceleration, and especially heavy loads (e.g. highway on-ramp). Additionally, the failure wears out other steering components, and potentially tire tread. The premature failure of this part (CV axle) creates additional risk for vehicle occupants, and should be remediated.

The vehicle begins to shake at stop lights, especially going downhill. In research, it seems to indicate the vehicle has issues with CV axles. Concerned for safety of myself, passengers, and the vehicle.

Heavy vibration under acceleration starting at about 45mph until about 60mph. If off throttle at those speeds no vibration is felt. Only when accelerating. Vibration increases as more throttle is applied. This caused serious safety issues when having to climb up grades on freeway. No warning lights present. Vehicle has not yet been checked by dealer.

CV joint axle front right and left. Vehicle shaking upon acceleration and getting worse. This issue is very concerning when driving on the highway. This vehicle was taken to the dealership for a diagnosis. It is confirmed that the axle shafts need to be replaced. The estimated repair for this is $1200. This problem started as a subtle vibration. I took the vehicle to a tire shop and paid do have tires re balanced and rotated. They said the shake is not tire related. I also read on online forums that many people are having this issue. The parts are currently unavailable to repair. Meanwhile, the shaking continues to get worse.

Vehicle enters "Deep Sleep" mode NEARY EVERY DAY and all 12 volt systems such as lighting are not useable. Vehicle will NOT START sometimes when Deep Sleep mode occurs. No matter how much we charge the 12v battery, this deep sleep issue will return within 1 day. Dealer has not fixed this issue after "supposedly" checking it out on a few visits to Livermore Ford Dealership. It has now been over 2 1/2 years of this problem with no fix.

Vehicle suddenly lost power while travelling at freeway speeds, and decelerated to 35 mph with no speed control. All electrical systems showed warning lights, and I was suddenly driving 30 mph under traffic speeds at a freeway interchange with no escape lanes or emergency lanes for half a mile. I am a paramedic with extensive EVOC training, and I can say with my extensive experience that this was a near-fatal situation, only avoided by the attentive drivers around me, and I almost created chain collisions attempting to maneuver to the side until there was a breakdown lane accessible. Vehicle had all electrical systems in warning, and vehicle automatically set the parking break before I put it in park. I attempted to restart the vehicle several times with no success. The vehicle entered a battery mode which did not allow use of the accelerator pedal, and automatically drove the care at 30-35 mph with only breaking control to control speed. I was able to limp the vehicle off the freeway in the breakdown lane, and move it to a safe location. This event was an extreme hazard to myself and all around me, and I compliment the semi driver behind me on his quick response to the sudden deceleration of my vehicle. Note I own 2 of these vehicles, a 2022 and a 2023, and both have experienced this issue.

Two issues. There are times when I close my driver side door when I am outside the car with my keys in the ignition, car is on and the door locks. Luckily I am able to get in because I have Ford number combination unlock but this can be a serious issue for others. I also have been dealing with bad CV boot issues. Passenger side CV boot leaked and made the truck wobble at around 22k miles. Driver side CV boot is now having issues at 24k miles. This is problem is known in the forums and the mileage before CV goes bad can vary. Ford is currently fixing but no new parts or modifications are made to CV that will make the part better.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer to be repaired under an unknown recall and the powertrain control module software update, and the key fob failed to communicate with the vehicle and the vehicle failed to start. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the battery wiring harness. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to the recall repair under NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V590000 (Electrical System, Power Train). The VIN was included, and the vehicle had been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was unknown.

Issue: Shift SYS Fault, DTC P07E6 System: Transmission Description: Emergency parking brake failed to disengage (solenoid could be heard attempting to move), as a result the transmission would not shift out of park. Check engine light and multiple codes/warnings illuminated on dash. Vehicle could not be moved or shifted into neutral. Waited 10-15 minutes before 2nd attempt, parking brake still failed to disengage. Then waited for 3 hours for third attempt, at which point emergency brake successfully disengaged. Check engine light no longer lit and no codes/warnings present on dash. Nothing changed or was done to the truck between the 2nd and 3rd attempt. Reproduction: Will drop off at dealer for confirmation in coming weeks. Warnings: Engine check light, Shift SYS fault, DTC P07E6, See dealership -> all illuminated after parking brake attempted to disengage during 1st and 2nd attempt.

Like many others with the Ford Maverick I started experiencing shaking of the truck on the highway which progressively got worse. Upon check it was 2 bad CV axles which seems to be go bad prematurely. This was at around 20,000. The truck has about 37,000 now and it is starting to happen again slowly which I am sure in the next 5000-10000 It will get worse and worse. How many more complaints from owners will Ford make a replacement part that is up to par with quality and not replace it every 20,000? This is dangerous.

Front passenger seat, seat heating element malfunctioned - created a small fire and smoke produced. Dealership diagnosed as 'a couple of hot spots that burned through the cover.' It is available for inspection. Fire hazard caused burn on passenger, smoke inhalation. Smoke/fire started while driving at 55mph, resulted in sudden breaking and pulling off the road. Yes, the dealer found hot spots that caused the burning - but take no responsibility for the issue as that car has 56000 miles. No, it has only been inspected by Ford dealership. No warning lamps, no symptoms until physical burning sensation prior to the smoke/fire.

After completing all recalls at the dealer, most recently the PCM re-programming, my 2022 Maverick Hybrid engine would just stop running with no warning. Electrical system was intact, there was no response to the gas pedal. Car would just slow down and I had to pull over. I pressed the stop button, sat for a few seconds and pushed it again and the vehicle started and ran properly. This has happened three times over the past 3 months (most recently on [XXX]) while driving at night at highway speeds, during the day at 50 mph and 35 mph. All acted the same way. I only caught what may have been a part of a warning message on the dash that I believe said "connected" after the first incident. The truck has been at the West Richmond, VA Ford dealership for the past 10 days and they have not been able to diagnose the problem. This is a very dangerous situation and I can't drive the vehicle until a fix has been found and implemented. The NHTSA issued a report on a similar situation back in April of this year (24V267000) so it appears like Ford has not provided their dealers with a satisfactory answer to this problem. My truck did not exhibit an electrical shutdown or flash numerous trouble codes or the check engine light. The engine simply shuts off for no apparent reason. The technicians see nothing recorded in the onboard computer(s) either. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My vehicle completely shutdown while we were driving on interstate 15 doing 77 mph. When everything shut off we had no brakes and no way to put the hazards on. It’s literally died while we were driving 77 mph.

At approximately 41k miles driven, and upon accelerating and at approximately 50 mph, the vehicle began to vibrate and shimmy. Some days the shimmy is slight, other days it was severe. Only happens with the gas pedal pressed. Resolves when gas pedal is not engaged. Took to dealer 8.26.2024 and confirmed CV Joint failure. TBD on warranty repair in the next few days. Since it is common knowledge that CV Joints should last 80k-100k miles, this is not acceptable and a danger to passenger, driver, and others on the road. Also, there is marked chatter among Maverick owners via online forums who are also encountering early failure of the CV Joints. Thank you for your prompt investigation into this dangerous situation and important safety matter.

I reported an odor coming from my vehicle and took it to the Ford dealership to get checked. Nothing was found by the dealer. I continued to notice a strong odor. Recently, when cleaning my car, I removed the floor mat and found a puddle of water underneath. I removed a small panel in the dash and could see water leaking when I ran climate control. It was leaking all over multiple electrical components so I have been hesitant to drive. The water will not dry or drain and has begun to mold.

The CV axle on my 2022 Ford Maverick keeps failing. Has been repaired/replaced 3 times same Ford dealership completing repairs. It starts with shuddering and shaking when accelerating then a clicking noise and unable to keep vehicle straight. Lucky enough no accidents where caused, however the second time this happened I was on interstate going at least 75mph the clicking started then could not control the vehicle, couldn't maintain lane. I am a little surprised how lightly the issue is precevied. It's becoming routine like getting oil change and cv axles are changed out. I making this complaint because after 3rd time it is starting to have same symptoms again and drivability of vehicle.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that while pulling into a parking lot, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was not able to be restarted. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the battery was completely drained. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 31,632.

Vehicle has had a Powertrain failure three times in a month. This causes the vehicle to look up and lose power. Dealers can not figure it out and Ford has not provided any solutions. Been without vehicle for 6 weeks at this point. Malfunction causes all systems to fault and vehicle seizes up making it undriveable.

I was driving for about 10 minutes at speed 35 mph then noticed the car is in electric mode but unable to accelerate. It feels nothing happened when I depressed the gas pedal. The car came to a complete stop at traffic light but failed to accelerate when I pressed on the gas pedal. I turned off the car and started it back up and everything return to normal.

I have a 22 hybrid maverick with ~ 27,000. I was driving back home from out of town and I had already driven for a good two and a half hours. I was passing an 18 wheeler when suddenly my whole truck turned off. The dash, infotainment screen all black. I tried to turn on the hazards but nothing came on. The steering wheel was stiff and I was pressing the brakes as hard as I could but we were barely slowing down. I coasted across the right lane and into the shoulder/grass and finally came to a stop. I turned the truck off and on and a whole bunch of warnings and lights popped up. I turned it off again and when I turned it back on it was like everything was back to normal. I drove the rest of the way home ~ 50 mph. The truck felt awkward when switching from gas to electric and shook a bit when coming to stops. I will be calling the service dept tomorrow.

My 2022 Ford Maverick has a persistent issue with moisture accumulating on the front passenger floorboard, leading to a mildew smell that requires constant deodorizing. This problem has been ongoing since I discovered it around 18,000 miles. Despite taking the vehicle in three times, the issue remains unresolved. The technicians suspected a valve issue on the condenser, allowing moisture in, but couldn't provide a remedy. They mentioned a similar problem with the 2018 F-150, which was eventually resolved through a warranty/recall. I have found multiple online posts describing the same issue. I believe this is a pre-existing issue with all 2022 models. The floorboard gets wet after running the AC for a few hours in warm to hot weather. P.S. Ford conducted a pressure test and said it passed. No resolution for over a year.

My Maverick had water filled in the floor from heavy rain during transport. I waited 2 additional weeks to take delivery. Once I took delivery I was driving around with mold in the carpets on my vehicle for nearly 4 months. Then we had heavy rains again and the same problem resurfaced. I took my car for repair and they kept it for three weeks and returned it repaired. Over the past week-end the carpets are soaked once again with a bad mildew smell and possibly mold. At this point Ford must take some responsibility with this

When I shifted to reverse to leave a parking space, a message popped up on the cluster saying “Camera Not Available. Contact Dealer.” An image then did come up and stayed frozen on the screen for the entire key cycle. The next time I drove the vehicle, the camera operated as intended. Picture attached showing frozen image while vehicle was in Drive gear.

Engine lost power while driving. Could not go past 30mph after. Warning lights showed on dashboard of the engine and a wrench. Servce Engine soon warning also showed.This is the 2nd time happening. And this is the 2nd time to the dealership. They couldn't find the problem and gave it back to me.

While the car was in neutral tow mode, being towed behind a motorhome, the steering wheels went onto a 'death wobble'. This was after turning left onto an on ramp. Traveling 5mph. Stopped immediately. Started to slowly move forward and it appeared the problem has corrected. Towed fine after that. However, the vehicle has lost power steering. I have noticed from the forums that this has been happening more frequently.

On June 13th 2024 my Maverick suddenly lost power and all lights on dashboard lit up. Apparently this has been documented by others, and vehicle then went into LIMP MODE and was not responding to accelator pedal properly and would not move beyond 30mph. Engine light is still on, and my Ford App shows 3 messages: 1. SERVICE ENGINE SOON 2. POWERTRAIN SYSTEM FAILURE 3. COLLISION AVOIDANCE UNAVAILABLE

Lost engine power while driving. Only had electric power and could not accelerate to get out of the way of traffic. Able to use hazard lights and coast to safety. Turned off everything and turn on again, only to go a block and it did it again. Service engine alert came on.

I was driving on the highway at about 65 MPH. Without warning, the vehicle dashboard displayed “Selected Gear Will Engage at Lower Speed,” the vehicle shifted itself to neutral, the accelerator pedal stopped responding, and the vehicle began coasting to a stop. I had to avoid high speed highway traffic to make it to the side of the road. When I had slowed to about 5 MPH, the vehicle forcibly shifted to park, and engaged the parking brake on its own — causing an abrupt stop. I could not shift out of park. The check engine light, wrench icon, traction icon all illuminated, the chime sounded and a series of errors displayed: “Service Advance Trac” “Collision Prevention Unavailable” “Hill Start Unavailable” “Service Engine Soon” among others. After power cycling the vehicle, the warning messages and icons remained, but I could shift into drive. However, the vehicle wouldn’t travel above 30 MPH, and seemed to accelerate on its on, as if it were on cruise control set at 30 MPH. Abruptly stopping on the highway is very dangerous, and could have caused a serious accident. Unless there is a catastrophic failure (which there wasn’t) the vehicle should never uncontrollably stop, especially on the freeway.
