2026 Ford Maverick Hybrid

Repair visit 1: Hybrid battery - august 24 2026 sensor fault. [Symptom, e.g. warning light on dash.] Repaired by dealer (Shawnee Mission Ford, Shawnee, KS). Repair visit 2: approx. 8,500 miles: sep 5 2026; Dealer diagnosed two problems at the same time: (1) emergency/parking brake sensor fault and (2) internal transmission problem. The Emergency break wouldn't disengage After driving it for a while. Took it to the dealership, they couldn't replicate the issue. The next day I had the same exact issue when I went to work. After a while, the parking brake did disengage. So I drove to the dealership where it was stuck in their bay for a little bit. There was also other issues that they found. Three separate faults within the first 8,500 miles, involving the hybrid system, the brakes and the transmission.

While driving on a exit road from a shopping center, my vehicle gave me Anti lock Brake Fault, Anti lock Brake System Fault, Hill Start Assist Warning, Service Engine Soon Warning , Electronic Parking Brake error, and Pre-Collision Assist not available. I was lucky it did not happen on a highway, as the Brake system locked up and I was only able to let it slowly move into a parking lot.

On May 27,2026, While flat towing the Maverick in Tow Neutral behind our motorhome, on the freeway, we were flagged down by a good Samaritan who urged us to exit the freeway immediately. My husband exited the freeway and found a safe place to park. I exited the motorhome to find fire emanating from all four wheels. The calipers were orange/red in color, fire was shooting from each wheel. The engine was so hot I suspected it would blow. I retrieved a fire extinguisher from the motorhome and deployed it extinguishing each wheel stopping the fire. An inspection by top level engineers and specialist inspected the vehicle to determine the root cause of the fire to no avail, results Inconclusive. at this point the insurance company wants to repair the car and put us back on the road. We are of the belief that this vehicle is unsafe and a possibly death trap.

8/3/26 at 0003 I received a message from the ford app that remote features were disabled to preserve battery. My truck would not turn on when I tried to start it, it was completely dead so then I got it jumped. At 1302 I received an error message for powertrain malfunction/ reduced power there was also a warning lamp for service on the dash. I brought the truck in today for service and waiting to hear back. The truck has roughly 3500 miles and I bought it new in april 2026, I drive daily and drove it the night before and did not have any issues. I did some research online and saw information for class action law suits for previous years on the maverick as well as people with similar issues. Inspection upon request would be available. My safety could have been put at risk if the battery died on the roadway causing a safety issue to myself or other motorists.

I was driving down the highway with no cars around and the middle of the moonroof shattered suddenly and violently from the inside outward.

I was in stop and go traffic on the highway when my brakes failed. I tried them twice, the car did not slow down, I put the car into park and tried to engage the parking brake and the car continued to roll until I hit the 18 wheeler in front of me. This happened a second time before I could get myself off the freeway and to a safe place to call a tow truck.

Windshield cracks easily. It cracked in a way that might impair vision. I have had large rocks hit my windshields in the past and and it usually ends up as just a round spot. I just bought this truck and a small Rock hit the lower driver side and it immediately cracked across my field of view about a foot across. This windshield is too thin or not properly laminated.
