2022 Ford Maverick complaints

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that while opening the front driver's side door, there was an abnormally loud creaking sound coming from the door. The contact stated that the sound became louder over time. There were fractures around the door frame, causing the sound. As a result of the failure, the contact stated that the front, driver side door window would only roll down at approximately an inch. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed; however, the contact was not informed which part needed to be replaced. The dealer stated that a door panel kit was to be sent to the dealer for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and opened a case. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.

When in adaptive cruise control the vehicle must of not seen the lines properly and started to steer towards the ditch. Then when trying to steer back onto the road the truck keep trying to steer into the ditch. The truck was fighting the drivers input even though the truck should deactivate the adaptive cruise control when manually taking over. The truck end up in the ditch and ran over a mailbox. The truck was inspected by Ford but they claimed nothing is wrong with it. It says in the manual that adaptive cruise control sometimes doesn't detect lines properly but when taking control the vehicle shouldn't continue to steer into a ditch. The Ford dealership were not able to get the same results because how can they when this problem doesn't happen all the time? The vehicle should not be fighting the driver instead it should of canceled the adaptive cruise control. It's very dangerous and I think needs to be looked into.

Phone calls while connected to CarPlay do not come through car on first call. You have to press speaker on your phone twice to get it to come through. Which can lead to distraction while driving. Switching between CarPlay and radio also causes serious sound difference with one being deafening and extremely startling which can be dangerous while driving. Ford will not look into and brushes it off anytime it is mentioned to the dealership service department.

Unknown what the problem part is but the car has a water leak that turned into mold behind the glove box and passenger side carpet. Have been having issues in the car as far as coughing and eyes burning. Had it inspected once and was told there was no water leak but had an accident recently and the shop saw mold and I found it throughout the passenger side of the car.

CV joints failing. 61k miles and getting a shaking front end wheel driving. A failure could cause an accident or other safety odor for the drivers and others. I’ve seen many reports of the same failures but no recalls yet. Ford should take care of this issue.

Door check spot welds broke. Door has unsafe operation. Will not hold open, and swings wildly. No inspection yet. Ford Dealer aware of problem. 2 month out of warranty.

Water intrusion on front passenger side of vehicle causing mold. Vehicle still has original windshield and all original carpet and interior. Ford Service department unable to do “leak detection at facility” but referenced several online sources believing it is a defective cowl or a/c part that is not sealed. Service department dried vehicle out for 3-4 days and water intrusion is still happening and mold came back.

At 70,000 (stock truck) truck began shaking under load/ acceleration. Both front CV axles have failed.

2022 Ford Maverick had water build up under the front passenger seat floor. I'm at 3.5 years of ownership and the dealer is telling me it will cost $1100 to fix because of an improperly installed windshield and cowl issue which ruined the internal filter and air circulation motor. Now i have to pay out of pocket because of a crappy manufacturer defect. I have seen in Maverick forums that this is a common issue and yet we are the ones having to fork out the cash.

My truck's CV axles broke around 20,000 miles. Replacement parts weren't available. This was a safety issue because I expected a new truck with low mileage to be reliable. If I wasn't technically inclined, I might not have understood the danger. The dealership replaced them under warranty, but they didn't inspect the broken parts. The truck shook badly when accelerating, which was the warning sign.

CV axles failed at around 28k. Replacement parts not available nationwide. Ford has recognized an engineering flaw in the axles, but have not issued a recall. I was informed it was dafe to drive while waiting for new cv axles.

Vehicle CV Axels going bad repeatedly. Replaced them 3 times. Luckily we've discovered the CV axel failures in low speeds. If it fails at the wrong time like during a turn on the highway, it could cause a serious accident. Plus the cost and inconvenience of repeated repairs continue to be an issue on such a new truck. Most owners report the same issue happening on Maverick forums. It seems lie this program is too common to be ignored. When we contact Ford dealerships parts are never available (back ordered) and it takes weeks to get this replaced adding more complexity to this situation. Formally requesting this issue to be reviewed at the NHTSA level.

At a intersection turning lane as I got a green arrow, ( as I pushed down on accelerator)a loud pop sounded and all vehicle operations stopped immediately. The battery had popped in the top front side, with battery liquid all over battery. No hazard lights, no putting into gear, only driver door operational at a very busy intersection. Flagging traffic and trying to call for new battery, very tough. Plant city Florida police arrived 20 minutes later. They waited with me until 40 minutes a battery arrived. I cleaned up acid with towel I had in front and tech changed battery. [THIS INCIDENT [XXX]- intersection [XXX] ] I can't express th [XXX] ot changing every battery thats compromised is beyond crazy. I paid $385 for the battery and spent $10 thousand of my life in that intersection. Fords are a lifetime of Dad's/my Family vehicle purchase history and I wish I had some of Ford Brass in the intersection with me. If they think they have a problem, I can guarantee it. Bartow Ford can't do anything because ( its Ford problem/remedy. I was discouraged they didn't say bring it in, but my buying any future product may be my remedy. Their were no warning lights, no smells from engine, no signs of any whisps of smoke coming up from hood. All I can finish with is when it happens, your out of business completely, where ever your at. The tech took the battery and I didn't take a picture because getting out of traffic was No.1. You can't sit inside and read your manual, with no emergency h

Cv axles bad went out at 29000 miles could break and your truck could roll

This is possibly more information regarding the known back-up camera recall NHTSA 24V684. After backing out of a parking space 1/26/2025, the camera froze (not the first time) and this time a message appeared in the upper left corner that read: "Indexing Nexus". I have also had on other occasions times where the Infotainment system itself would freeze with no warning and when the back up camera was not in use. I suspect the recall addressing the camera issue is only part of this and that the system itself has issues not related to the camera. Pressing and holding the POWER and Fast Forward buttons forcing a system restart restored usability.

The radio head unit often is unresponsive. Needs to be reset multiple times a week. Volume will either not work or no sound at all. Screen freezes and pops. Music cuts out. Skip button from steering wheel does not work sometimes. All operations on the touch screen are slow and laggy. Has had this problem since owning the vehicle.

The vehicle constantly goes into deep sleep mode and will not start. Battery was tested good at the dealer but would die after 2 hours of sitting. Battery was replaced with an AGM and still has the same issues. Dealer cant find an issue. Happened again today and left me stranded.

Front CV axles. Front end shakes really bad at 30-50 mph. Dealer changed front passenger side CV axle but it still shakes really bad. I'll be bringing it back to the dealership, but warranty expires soon they need to have a recall and a better replacement part for this fix. I am not the only one with this problem.

My husband was driving on a highway going 55 mph when the engine light came on and then the car completely shut off and died and would not start. It left him stranded on the highway with no shoulder at -35F. Ford now tells me they cant even look at the vehicle to see what is wrong until April 2025.

Was not able to put the car in reverse. Had to be pulled out of driveway by another truck. When driving forward the engine was very loud RPMs were in the beginning of the red zone. Took car straight to dealer. Told the transmission fluid sensor was broken.

The service engine light turned on. Observed the outside temperature displayed was incorrect at 189 degrees in the winter. The heat stopped working and front window defroster stopped working.

My CV Axles were in desperate need of replacement at 30,000 miles, with no after market modifications done to the vehicle, Discovered while modifying the vehicle. My truck was described as "condemned" by my mechanic, and this is a KNOWN ISSUE FOR MOST FORD MAVERICK OWNERS.

CV axles make a very concerning, loud noise when driving. Any small bump on the road and it sounds like the front of my truck is going to fall off. When turning, there are loud knocking and clicking sounds coming from the front end, mainly passenger side. Electrical: My radio and head unit restarts randomly, both while driving and when the vehicle is turned off with keys removed from ignition. When it restarts, I hear a popping noise from the speakers, and the screen blacks out.

The component that failed on this vehicle was the restraint control module (RCM). It was replaced by the dealer and is not available for inspection. The safety of the driver I believe was at risk due to the vehicle occupant sensor not showing an occupant and only showing a question mark on the dash display. This was also causing an airbag and seat belt indicator light. The problem has been reproduced by a dealer. The problem first showed a rear seat occupant issue and then started showing for the left front seat. Showing an air bag and seat belt indicator.

This morning before my drive to work, a service vehicle soon message popped up on the screen. During my drive to work the vehicle began to respond sluggishly and lose power and acceleration on the highway. My safety and the safety of others was put at risk and the vehicle was unable to maintain highway speeds. I was able to make it to work driving at reduced speeds, and after parking the vehicle received a message on my Ford App of a Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power alert. My vehicle was serviced by Ford on 06/20/2024 for a recall related to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

Premature failure of both front CV axles. The vehicle had an extremely unsafe vibration in the front end during acceleration. Dealer has replaced both axles under warranty. This is a known failure and many of these vehicles are experiencing premature failure. Warranty will cover but failures are continuing to happen. Many owners have replaced the axles multiple times, prior to getting to even 65k miles.

My license plate light has stopped working. It was replaced and still isn’t working. This reduces visibility and increases risk of a crash. This is in addition to the legal requirement to have an operating license plate light.

I was involved in an accident. During the accident none of the airbags deployed. The impact was so hard that it lifted the truck up off the ground and spinned us around 90 degrees. This resulted in the individuals seated on the passenger side of the truck to be thrown into the door fairly hard, with one passenger hitting her head on the window even with the seatbelt on. The point of impact was the drivers side back tire and bumper area.
