2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid complaints

My Ford Maverick is one of MANY that has a problem with mold. Mold is growing under the dash in the front passenger footwell. This issue is caused by a water intrusion. There is likely a manufacturing issue with the right front of the truck, which allows water in. The truck has had a problem with fogging up quickly since I purchased it new from Ford. My family's safety is at risk because the mold has led each of us to feel sick after riding in the truck. The truck is going in tomorrow for warranty work. Ford MUST recall every single vehicle that is effected. This is a serious health risk. Plus, the defective seam could fail in an accident, leading to injuries or deaths.

I was driving when the vehicle suddenly lost power, there was a mechanical noise from the front end of the truck. After which, the car lost all power (power train). All MPG is lost, like the truck is spilling fuel and theres a significant odor as well as an extremely rough idle.

Vehicle shakes considerably during acceleration. Tires were checked and rebalanced, but issue persists. Dealer states the cv axles are a common issue and has ordered parts to repair.

The axle failed. There was severe vibration on acceleration causing the vehicle to hesitate and shake. Before taking it in for service the vibration was noticeable during normal driving. The vehicle was inspected by the Ford dealership and the axle was found to be the issue.

CV Joins or front axles failed after 10k miles. The car shakes under acceleration always between 50mph and 60mph and also when you try to overtake other cars. It can shake pretty horribly depending on how hard you press the gas pedal. The problem was reproduced by the dealer but they don't have the parts to fix it. No warning lights.

After ~32000 miles of driving the truck was shuddering aggressively when accelerating. On 10/13/2023 truck was taken into a Ford Dealership, Preston Ford West in Randallstown, MD, for repair of this issue and was told this was due to both CV axles failing and it was no longer safe to drive. From my research, this part failing so early in the life of the vehicle is significantly earlier than what is typical of a CV axle.

Vibrating vigorously while accelerating around 50mph.

This Hybrid XLT maverick is equipped with Auto Brake/Stop while the vehicle is at a stop sign or red light. Two times the vehicle moved forward when the car in the front took their foot off from the brake pedal. The maverick was in full electric mode while Auto Engine Stop was activated and while the other vehicle moved forward, the maverick's Hybrid system switched to regular gas power and moved forward. Onetime the maverick give me the forward collision warning and the other time it didn't and my number plate touched the other car's bumper before i could manually brake the vehicle.

Ford has recalled my 2022 Maverick for potential engine compartment fires due to catastrophic engine failure (reference: 23V380). A remedy was estimated to be available in mid-October, 2023. They have failed to provide a fix yet and this is taking way too long to be resolved.

Ford is refusing to actually fix the engine fire problem on the 22 Ford Maverick hybrid that I own and it keeps saying that they are going to have an update available in December they did this before couple months back instead it was going to be in October they keep changing the date and I'm having to drive around risking my life in a vehicle that could catch on fire and explode they even tell me not to park in the garage this is ridiculous when are they going to fix this problem or how do I go about getting them to at least of knowledge this. They have also damaged trim pieces in the vehicle while removing trim to replace air bags, now seat belt no longer works correctly

There has been a active Recall (Campaign/NHTSA# 23S27/23V380) on my Ford Maverick Since 26 of May 2023 that has not been able to be repaired. Ford has continued to pushback the anticipated remedy timeframe since October 2023. This is the Second recall for the same issue, as the first recall did not repair the issue but put a Band-Aid on it. Ford is beyond a reasonable amount of time to repair this recall since first issuing it.

In May 2023, a recall was placed against my vehicle without a remedy. The recall is about premature engine failure and the possibility of engine combustion. The remedy was supposed to be ready by October 2023, but is not yet available. I have never gotten an update since the initial recall information. The recall says that loud engine clanking sounds are possible engine failure sounds. I hear those sounds often when shifting from gas to electric modes. I have been driving still knowing this for 6 months and am worried for my safety due to this recall and the lack of timely remedy.

My backup camera failed, the frame froze. As I was backing into a parking spot I hit a wall when the screen in the vehicle showed that I was still 5 or 6 feet away. As I reversed direction and pulled away a few feet to check the damage I noticed that the screen had not changed; it still showed that I was 5 or 6 feet away. When I restarted that vehicle the camera returned to normal functioning.

My 2022 Ford Hybrid Maverick Truck has been experiencing what is referred to as Grabby Brakes by the Maverick Truck Club (MTC) Maverick owners. At low speeds, 2-5 MPH, the brakes suddenly activate and slams the truck to a stop and passengers are thrown forward. There was and article from [XXX] that reported that there is a Technical Service Bulletin [XXXX] from Ford Motor Company that addresses the issue. I cannot validate this information. I did take the truck (2 times) down to the local dealership and was met with anything other than my concern. After mentioning the TSB [XXX] I was told that the TSB was no longer valid and the short answer was there was nothing currently on the issue and was not looking into it citing , "there was nothing from Ford". There are no indications that the vehicle is about to slam the brakes on. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Drivers side front brake makes grinding noise, Ford dealer mechanic states I do not drive it enough. The brake noise is most apparent at low speed. Second problem. Using remote entry at night does not turn on interior lights, nor opening the door. But after using the truck and turning off the ignition the interior light is on.

Grabby brakes a slow speeds, poses a safety problem that Ford seems to ignore. I believe that Ford is not being proactive in finding a solution for this problem. Unfortunately it seems like someone can become injured due to this problem. The problem has been ongoing since I received the vehicle in 2022.

"GRABBY" BRAKES. At low speeds, approximately 5-10mph, when I gently apply the brakes, the brakes suddenly and without warning catch or "lock up" as if slamming on the brakes. It's a jolting experience and can be dangerous if another vehicle is following close behind and my brakes lock up for no apparent reason. There are no warning lamps or messages. This braking malfunction began the first day I took delivery.

Truck was lost power completely, unable to neither starting, gear shifting, steering nor breaking

Vehicle lost all electrical power after being turned off. No power to any part of vehicle, including interior lights, door locks etc. Vehicle was not able be turned back on unless jump started. Vehicle continues to lose all power when turned off. No warning on dash for any issue at all. Vehicle left me unexpectedly stranded with two young children at gas station hundreds of miles from home.

My vehicle died on my driveway. I have no power, no lights, cant open my locked trunk. Checked voltage on the battery. It shows 12.6V (normal, so no need to jump start). Checked the same thing on the other side of the main harness (in the engine compartment). It shows zero. Something is wrong with the main harness. Towed it to the closest dealership. They confirmed. One of the contacts on the harness broke. Luckily I was on my driveway already. What if this issue would happen when I was driving on the highway and my family were with me. Dealership ordered harness replacement (its impossible to fix this one). So in a couple of weeks/month it will arrive and they will replace it. But I'm not confident in my truck any more. Bad cheap harness is the main cause of this issue. Ford decided to use cheap component. And this is the common issue for Maverick Hybrid. Lots of people reported it. We need new recall

Was going about 20 in a residential setting with nobody around and the truck locked the brakes and forward collision warning started flashing on the screen. It was pretty scary seeing there was nothing to hit.

I got a letter from FORD about a 22C20 Recall of the side curtain airbag. January 2023 And I got a letter in the mail from Ford May 24 2023 and it says your 22C20 recall part is ready. I got an appointment from ford frontier June 1 2023 and when the dealer Service Advisor Jesus Labrada told me sorry, we don’t have a part for airbags. He told me the left side and right-side airbags need to be changed and we have just one side. He doesn’t take my car, he told me please call every 10 days to ask if we have a part or not. June 7 2023 I emailed Michael Marshall about the 22C 20 recall part. Do you have it and I got back to me and he said No part for recall yet. June 2023, I got another letter from Ford and Customer Satisfaction Program 22B39 about the vehicle, it may be possible a 12V battery connection may become loose, resulting in a no- start condition. June 2023, I got another letter from Ford about 23S27 on your vehicle, the engine could fail prematurely, in the event of an engine failure. And the letter says part may be available October 2023. Right now, I am not using this car, it’s just sitting in my driveway. It’s not safe for me, if engine fails and if I crash airbags are not working, I don’t want to make a risk to get me or someone else in the car to get a injury or die. I would like to return this Ford Maverick Truck for a full refund.

* Grabby brakes at low speed and light braking. * it makes slow speed braking unpredictable. You push on the brakes and get very little braking, add more brakes and still very little braking, add more pressure and then suddenly you get extreme braking like slamming on the brakes. Brakes are not progressive at low speed. * Yes I've taken it to the ford dealer (Team Ford Lincoln in Las Vegas) at least 3 times for unrelated issues and every time I complain about the unpredictable braking and every time they claim they can't reproduce the issue. The Last time I even email them the ford service bulletin 22-2493 which talks about the Exhaust Gas Recirculation sensor and they say this sensor can contribute to brake grab. But even after they replaced the EGR sensor I still have gotten low speed brake grab. * I have over 30,000 miles on the truck now and the low speed brake grab has remained exactly the same since I bought it new. It happens probably once a week. Some additional info. Video about the issue. https://youtu.be/Fy7DRygWvG0 Forum post talking about the issue. https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/tsb-22-2493-issued-for-2-5l-hybrid-maverick-grabby-brakes-at-or-below-6-2-mph.24977/ Ford need to address this issue because the inconsistent brakes in parking lot speeds is a serious problem that needs to be acknowledged and fixed.

The contact's son owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start after several attempts. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed; however, the dealer had not provided the diagnostic information to the contact and stated that they had ordered the parts for an unknown repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was included in Ford Campaign Number: 22B39, which she related to the failure. The manufacturer then followed up with the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

Going at low speeds the brakes will lock up instantly. It happens completely randomly and can’t be predicted. I have cars beeping constantly in traffic when the car slams to a stop instantly. Also difficult to park or pull out safely after braking if they don’t unlock vehicle crawls out into traffic.

The brakes become stiff at low speeds especially when used frequently like stop or go traffic. The brakes will become stiff then unresponsive followed by a jolting grab by the breaks. There have been a few close calls parking and rolling to a stop and having the breaks being unresponsive. the problem is recurring and intermittent.

Parked in front of garage turn off and knew something was not right. truck loss all power . was dead ,,completely dead. The next day I was leaving for a trip. called for tow and tow could not jump it. truck would not go into neutral. Hybrid electric transmission would not go into neutral. I left for trip came back and still dead. had to call for another tow, tried to jump will not jump or turn over. would not go into neutral. could not push truck or unlock or turn steering wheel. this is a major safety issue. If you kid is in the truck you can not open the truck. If the truck is on fire and your kid is in the truck. you can not open the truck!. if the truck died at Rail road track. died on freeway , or when in traffic your doomed. It had to be put on four wheel dolly and towed to dealer at dealer over 30 days. still has a fire recall ford does not have a fix for. heat exchanger, hybrid cable, battery changed and dont feel safe to drive it.

When coming to a complete stop at low speeds, the vehicle suddenly lurches forward unexpectedly which may cause an accident. It's not consistent, so it catches you off guard when it happens. I'm concerned that this may cause me to hit a another car or worse yet a pedestrian crossing an intersection.

I cut the car off for a few minutes to help another driver on the side of the road. When I returned, nothing would work. I could not start the vehicle, the emergency lights would not work, no lights or screens would work, I could not get the vehicle out of park or disengage the steering lock so I could push it to the side of the road. There were no warning lights or notifications prior to this happening. This car has 11,000 miles on it and is still under warranty. The only anomaly I noticed is that the radio stopped working some time before this happened. I did notice the odor of electrical overheating when I got out of the car. Having an immobile car on the side of the road with no warning lights is, in my view, a gross safety problem. I have returned it to Ford, but they cannot say even when they will diagnose it. In the meantime, I am without transportation and have had to rent a vehicle at my own expense.

As I was driving and began to slow down the vehicle switched from gas to electric driving and during the transition the entire vehicle started shaking excessively. As it happened it felt like the engine or transmission was the cause of the shake. This has happened 4 times randomly so far.
