Everyone around the country was excited about the release of the first 2022 Ford Maverick. This all-new hybrid pickup was hailed as a game-changer. In fact, the company even boasted that owners could “live like a maverick.” Instead of feeling independent, drivers ended up chained to the service center because of a defective electrical system, faulty brakes, and trucks that won’t start.

Most Common Problems with the 2022 Ford Maverick
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is a good source of information about complaints that consumers have about vehicles. Their records show that there are plenty of these, 80 in total so far, about the 2022 Ford Maverick.
These complaints apply to 16 component and system categories: airbags, backover prevention, the electrical system, engine and engine cooling, exterior lighting, forward collision avoidance, the fuel/propulsion system, lane departure, powertrain, seat belts, service brakes, structure, vehicle speed control, visibility/wiper, and the unknown or other category.
The electrical system has attracted the highest number of complaints. At 37 they represent nearly half of all complaints to the NHTSA. But in addition to these, there are another 2 listed as unknown/other problems. Next in line are the brakes, with 25 complaints. There are 10 complaints about the engine and/or engine cooling, and 5 about the powertrain, one of which is clearly an electrical issue.
There are also 5 recalls, only one of which relates to the most common complaints. NHTSA campaign number 22V193000 warns that the trailer brakes of the 2022 Ford Maverick may fail. Potentially, 391,836 Ford vehicles, including 2022 Mavericks, are implicated. If the trailer brakes lose functionality and don’t brake, there’s more chance of a crash.
There are also 30 manufacturer communications on record, including TSBs and special service messages (SSMs).
Problems with the Electrical System
With all eyes on the hybrid Maverick, Ford should have put plenty of time into perfecting the electrical systems for maximum pleasure. But dead batteries, defective wiring harnesses, and trucks that go into deep sleep mode are spoiling the experience for many owners. There are also complaints about Mavericks losing 100% power overnight for no apparent reason. It is possible that all these issues are related.
Dead Batteries
Dead battery issues are reported as electrical system and powertrain problems.
One of the first complaints, in June 2022, was from an owner in California. After 3 days away on a trip, his 2022 Maverick was “completely dead.” The FordPass app messaged “that remote features were being shut off to conserve battery life.” Unable to open the door using the app or the factory keypad, they had to break into the car to get the key out of the glove box.
The Maverick needed a jump to start it. After driving about 20 miles and then parking, there was another warning via the app. After 9 days at the dealership, they replaced the battery. But before even collecting the vehicle, he got the same low battery warning. “I don’t believe that the issue has been resolved and it is being reported by a large number of other Maverick owners“ on the Maverick Truck Club forum.
An owner from North Carolina tells a similar story. After more than 3 weeks at the dealership, he was told that the part that connects the electrical system to the engine is defective.
An owner from Georgia has a high-voltage battery warning. The dealer had the vehicle for 2 weeks “and said they read some transmission codes but tell me Ford doesn’t know what to do to fix the issue at this point.”
There are also complaints of “dead” Mavericks that don’t relate to the battery. An owner from Arizona had to jump-start his Maverick to get home. Then, when he tried to restart it again, once again there were “no lights, no power, nothing at all.” The obvious route was to test the 12-volt battery. But it was “found to be in good condition so it was not the battery.”
Deep Sleep Mode
According to Ford, their vehicles are designed to conserve battery power by automatically or manually entering what they call Deep Sleep Mode. They say it is activated automatically when:
- The battery has been inactive for 14 consecutive days
- The battery voltage drops below 9.5 volts
- The weather is extremely hot or cold
An owner from Pennsylvania states: “My truck is never inactive for 14 days and has never been in extreme cold/hot weather conditions. Therefore I can only conclude severe voltage drops from the battery. The internet is full of complaints about this truck entering deep sleep mode and then failing to turn on again, even with a jump start. I’m concerned for my safety that this vehicle will leave me stranded.”
An owner from North Carolina had only had a Ford Maverick for 3 weeks. “Went to start the truck and it was completely dead. Couldn’t even use the key fob. It went into deep sleep mode. Had to have it towed to the dealer.”
Another complaint about the deep sleep mode is from an owner in California who says it happens “for no reason. The battery is fine, the harness is having issues.”
An owner from Wisconsin draws the same conclusion. After losing engine power on the road, he was alerted by the app that the Maverick was “going into deep sleep mode to preserve the high voltage battery power.” A few days later, he discovered that “there is a Ford TSB out to repair these battery cable, battery, electrical issues. The 12v battery cable to the engine fuse box connector has a bad weld connection.”
Defective Wiring Harnesses
The first confirmation of a battery wiring harness issue was in early June 2022 after a Maverick “died in the driveway.” Since then there have been at least 20 complaints to the NHTSA that mention defective wiring harnesses. There is a good chance that many of the battery and deep sleep mode complaints are due to faulty wiring harnesses too.
Here are a handful of complaints that mention wiring harnesses.
An owner from Maine reported that after finding that none of the electrical components were working, the dealer found a “fuse had blown from the jumpstart of the truck. After the fuse was replaced, the dealer found a negative terminal connection from the harness had broken at the flat section. The harness is on national backorder.”
A Georgia owner reports that after stopping to get water, when he got back into the truck “ it had NO power. It was as if the battery was dead. I had it jump-started and drove home. In the middle of an intersection, while turning, the truck shut off completely. NO power. When this happens, you have no emergency lights and can not put it in neutral to push it off of a road. If you are on a back road with no lights, you can’t turn on the hazards nor push the vehicle off the road out of traffic. It was the wiring harness that went bad.”
An owner from Texas states, “Loose connection for positive cable on wiring harness under the hood causes intermittent complete failure of (the) electrical system. Car is unable to start when the connection is loose without a jump.”
But another Texas owner says that the “entire electrical system failed and couldn’t be jump-started by the Roadside Assistant.”
TSB Specifics How to Fix Wiring Harness Problem
Sometime in September 2022, Ford issued a technical service bulletin that advises dealerships on what to do if Maverick owners experience this problem. An owner from Ohio shared the TSB number – 22-2340 – in an NHTSA complaint. The complaint itself states: “Vehicle has no power anywhere… as if the battery is disconnected.”
The TSB, which a member of the Maverick Truck Club has shared, applies to the 2022 full hybrid electric vehicle (FHEV) Ford Mavericks with a 2.5-liter engine. More specifically, it is for Mavericks built on or before 13 May 2022. It states that these vehicles may manifest a no crank/no start condition without a 12-volt power supply in the battery junction box. This may be due to a loose or detached eyelet terminal.
The TSB specifies the service procedure required to replace the wiring assembly and correct the condition. Batteries should only be inspected and replaced “if necessary.”
The no crank/no start issue is a common one with Ford vehicles. For example, TSBs show that some 2017-2018 Ford F-Super Duty vehicles built on or before May 2, 2018 had this problem. 2020-2021 Ford Mustang GT500s built on or before June 30, 2021, also displayed this condition. SSMs show that more recently, some 2021 F-150s “exhibit a no crank/no start with no powertrain control module (PCM) if the oil life is at or less than 20%. Some 2022 F-Super Duty vehicles that were built before March 3, 2022, and don’t have a telematics control unit (TCU), “may exhibit a no crank/no start condition due to a discharged battery.”
Even though the law requires manufacturers to share all communications, including TSBs, with the NHTSA, as ofOctober 11, 2022, the TSB was not yet available on the NHTSA website.
Safety Issues with the Brakes
Nobody can be safe in a vehicle that has brake problems. We have mentioned that there is an acknowledged problem with the Maverick’s trailer brakes. But there are also problems with the service brakes that control normal stopping.
In a complaint submitted to the NHTSA in May 2022, a Maverick owner from Puerto Rico describes an accident caused by brake failure. The driver was injured when “the brakes did not work, causing me to go over a cliff. The airbags never opened.”
An owner from Florida also reports a crash, but no injuries. “At very low speeds (﹤5mph) the brakes will grab very hard when you try to gently come to a stop.” At times there is a thud that sounds like the regenerative braking locking up. Sometimes the brakes don’t work at all.
Another owner from Florida, who narrowly avoided a crash says: “When driving at slow speeds the brakes seem to have a “dead space”. The brakes slowly engage, don’t engage at all (hence dead space) then abruptly stop the vehicle. There is also a loud clunk associated with it.”
The first dealership that tested the Maverick couldn’t replicate the issue. The second one could, but couldn’t “find anything wrong with the system to be able to fix it.”
Other typical complaints state:
- The brakes are very inconsistent
- Under 5 miles an hour, brakes are sometimes unresponsive or inconsistent
- There are times when the brakes respond as if they are not going to stop
- Very jerky and rough low-speed braking
- Brakes seem to be reluctant to react to pressure on the brake pedal at low speeds
- The Ford Maverick hybrid system attempts to use electrical regenerative braking at speeds that are too low to generate a braking effect

| Description | I was rear-ended while stopped at a red-light by an inattentive driver. The resulting impact cause the power driver's seat to drop to the end if it's track and the backrest to drop down onto the rear bench. If there was a passenger behind me at the time of the accident, they would have been crushed by the seat with the headrest potentially crushing their chest, while their legs would have been crushed due to the seat suddenly sliding so far back. Motors in seat still function, but cannot move seat. When attempting to lower the backrest a clicking noise can be heard. |

| State | CO |
| Description | Issue: gasoline engine shutdown unexpectedly while driving. The following identical events occurred once each on june 14 and june 15, 2021. In both instances I was driving northbound with the (adaptive) cruise control set at 72 miles per hour, with driver alert enabled, and with extreme west-to-east crosswinds in excess of 50 mph per highway warning signage. While driving I received several driver alert messages – assumed to be due to the high crosswinds – which I ignored as I was not drowsy. Then without warning the gas engine shutdown and would not re-engage (pressed the accelerator to the floorboard), requiring me to quickly move to the shoulder of the roadway before the vehicle came to a complete stop. I shutoff the ignition, waited for about 30 seconds, and then restarted the vehicle and continued driving without further incident each day despite the fact that the wind persisted and the driver alert messages continued. This happened once on two consecutive days and has not occurred since, making note of the fact that I have not driven in severe wind conditions since. Fortunately these two events occurred in sparsely populated areas of wyoming and montana with fewer vehicles on the roadway, had it happened on a more densely traveled highway the safety of myself and others could have been at risk. |

| State | CA |
| Description | The brakes on the maverick are grabby and unpredictable when applying them when driving less than ten mph. When the brakes are grabby, the vehicle comes to an abrupt stop, and a loud noise is heard from under the hood. It is inconsistent and makes driving in parking lots, backing out of my driveway, or any place where I need to drive much slower than normal more dangerous. I have taken it to the dealer, and they have not addressed the issue. After only a few minutes on the internet, it seems this is a known issue and a potential safety concern for both the maverick drivers and those outside the maverick (other drivers or pedestrians). There are no safety lights or warnings that appear when the brakes instantly grab and lock. It is jarring and escalates the already anxiousness of driving. Having unpredictable brakes is a danger. |
| Category | Electrical System, Fuel/propulsion System |
| Date | Mar 05, 2023 |
| State | FL |
| Description | Under rapid acceleration requiring over 50% of the engine's power, the computer system detects a "fault" and shuts down the engine. This has occurred five times in the last 4 months while attempting to merge onto freeways, interstates, and local roads. In every instance, the engine shut-down cause oncoming vehicles to rapidly slow down in order to not hit my vehicle and I had to pull off to the side of the road to let the computer system "reset" in order to continue my travels. The problem was brought to the attention of the local ford dealer twice (will be going back based on recent occurrence of march 5, 2023 ). There were no warning lamps, messages, or other systems prior to the problem occurring. This problem has occurred on december 8, 2022; december 12, 2022; december 23, 2022; march 2, 2023; and march 5, 2023. |

| Description | On monday 2/27/2023 I was driving northbound on the taconic parkway in new york going with my cruise control and co-pilot360 adaptive lane control engaged. I think I dozed off for about 20 seconds and during this time my co-pilot disarmed and my maverick drove off the highway. Fortunately I regained control before I hit a sign or trees. I damaged a front rim, but it was a very close call. I am a very good driver normally, but this feature should be investigated. I understand that it is not "autopilot". I have the dash-camera video here: https://youtu. Be/z6hpnyx3snc a. Co-pilot shuts off at . 020 b. Truck leaves road at . 036 |

| Description | Problem 1: as a hybrid engine, the engine shudders, shaking the whole vehicle, as I am travelling in a low speed, around 5 mph. I believe this is the cause of engine rpm switching to electric motors. This had occurred multiple times in 3 months of owning the vehicld. Problem 2: brake grab. There has been multiple instances that the brake engages in low speed. This happens when I am not stepping on a gas pedal, like about to park. The brake grab puts the vehicle in a jerk stop. This occurred multiple times in 3 months of owning the vehicle |

| Description | On several occasions, most recently on february 13, 2023, my vehicle encountered a stop safely warning light and all power was lost. I could no longer accelerate and was forced to pull over onto the side of the highway. This has happened on four occasions when I was attempting to pass another vehicle. The most recent occurrence happened while passing an eighteen wheel truck on a two lane highway. The truck had to brake heavily behind me because I did not have any power to maintain speed as I moved in front of him. Once stopped, I have been able to shut off the key and the system resets and I am able to resume driving. A check engine light will come on but will disappear in 24 to 48 hours. |

| State | TX |
| Description | (there is a brake system malfunction. When braking sometimes the brakes would skip and I could feel the brakes not grabbing the rotors the way they should. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer because the dealership could not figure out what was causing the problem with the brakes. The dealership inspected the brakes. There was no warning lamps or messages of the brake problem.) I first started to hear a intermittent rubbing noise when braking and driving slow a couple months after I purchased the vehicle. I took it the vehicle into the dealership and they could not figure out what was wrong. I was told perhaps I was to aggressive on the brakes. The problem continued so I went to another dealership and they looked at the brakes and could not figure out what was causing the noise. The rotors looked glossy (glazed) so I decided to replace the rotors and brakes at my cost because I was told the truck was out of warranty. One week after the repairs were made, I started to hear the rubbing noise again. I was furious! I couldnt believe this was happening on a brand new vehicle, especially on a ford. So I continued to drive until the rotors got so bad that the steering wheel was shaking when I braked. The rotors were warped. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and replace the brake pads and rotors using the ford manual for the 2022 maverick. This time I decided to only drive eco mode on the highway and normal mode in the city. I also turn off the active braking every time I got in the truck. I was also very careful not to be aggressive on the brakes and not to ride them when slowing down. I kept a close watch on the rotors. After two weeks of driving the rubbing noise started again and the rotors are glazed again. I do not know if its a mechanical issue with the brake calipers/master cylinder or a computer/software issue. I cannot afford to be replacing brakes and rotors every two weeks. I am greatly disappointed in ford motor company . |

| Description | This is follow-up to nhtsa complaint 11502916 reported 01/21/23: maverick hybrid was at dealer for 5 days. First - brake issue many of us are experiencing was reportedly resolved (tsb 22-2493) by reprogramming pcm and sobdm-c; brakes seem better at slow speeds now! Second- as for the two incidents when vehicle motor stopped while driving at speeds 50mph+ and accelerating, dealer put a "hotline contact" into ford motor to seek guidance however all test came up with nothing in terms of determining the cause or resolution. Since the vehicle still runs, I picked up my truck and guess I will continue to drive it until 'russian roulette' makes truck break down again. Dealer did mention that the sobdm is an electrical code for brakes and stalling so maybe the brake job also fixed the engine malfunction but they can't be certain. Regardless, experiencing total engine failure at highway speeds is very frightening! Until I have ford documentation that the problem is with 100% certainty diagnosed and resolved, I will never travel with a passenger or a pet in my truck again for fear of engine failure at highway speeds could result in a horrible tragedy! I have been very lucky not being rear-ended or even worse with the two engine malfunctions; I pray my luck continues as ford has no answers for me! |

| Description | Twice, within a one week period, my hybrid vehicle failed to start. In fact, the key fob failed to unlock vehicle. I changed the battery in one key fob and still wouldn't unlock the vehicle. I had to unlock vehicle manually with the key and vehicle still wouldn't start. Vehicle dash board and all interior lights not working. Both times service was called and vehicle started right up with a jump from a battery pack. No check engine light was displayed either time. I have checked the ford maverick owners website and a bad wiring harness appears to be a problem that many hybrid owners have reported that ford replaced to resolve this problem. I am concerned that this defective wiring harness could be a fire hazard. Also now the vehicle is unreliable and could leave me stranded on the highway or die in heavy traffic or when trying to merge or exit the interstate near my home. |

| Description | Brakes are too sticky and I'm not able to control the braking even if I am using the eco mode which is supposedly slow enough already. Normally happens when I just started moving the car from park and when I am going to stop and go local traffic. When I took the car to the dealer they said they could not update the software because there is no code for braking problem for this car. This car has been showing check engine light since december 24, 2022 and when the check engine light is on I could not access my obd port. The chicken didn't light has been going off and on for three times now, took it to the dealer and the dealer was able to find a fault code but could not pinpoint the problem yet. When the check engine light is on, the car does not seem to have enough power to move. |

| Description | At low speeds, the brakes are unpredictable. Sometimes they grab hard, other times not. Sometimes there is a loud clunk associated with this low speed braking. I don't know the cause, but it leaves the driver uncertain how much pressure to apply in braking situations. Snowy conditions are especially hard to navigate. Ford has issued a tsb for the problem which I am in line to have completed. But early feedback indicates that the offered fix only partially resolves the problem. |

| Description | The brakes are hesitant to stop while creeping forwards, then they slam on. There is also a clunking noise when stopping, usually hear it around the last five ft of the stopping distance. I have 11k miles and just needed to replace the transmission. I lost acceleration while on the highway, no warnings or engine light until a few hours after this happened. Dealer stated that this was the transmission. The truck would also almost lock in place while in drive and not level (like at a red light). It would not let go for a few seconds after releasing the brake pedal. I was also told this was the transmission. After the transmission was replaced, the same day, my engine started making a very loud clunking noise and lurching forward while parked in the driveway. This is the hybrid version of the 2022 ford maverick. This is unsafe in general. Losing acceleration on the highway could have caused an accident, luckily did not. Also not being able to move when the traffic light changes poses the same safety risk. This truck is currently back at the dealership undergoing investigation to the the loud noises in the engine. I was also told that the airbag recall would not be fixed unless they deploy. |

| Description | The brakes will suddenly and almost violently grab when travelling at low speeds (be! Ow 10 mph). Like through a parking lot or parking garage or driveway. It doesn't happen every time, but it does occur a few times every day. Tbe brake grabbing is sudden and unexpected. The sudden stop throws tbe occupants and contents of the truck foward. I believe this to be a hazzard and needs to be corrected by ford. |

| Description | The brakes often grab and clunk when braking at slow speeds. This is an intermittent (yet common) problem which occurs when coming to a stop, slowly pulling forward after already having made a stop, creeping forward to check for oncoming traffic and other similar scenarios. The noise and feel of this sensation is startling when it occurs, therefore making it unsafe! I have inquired with two dealer service departments. One said it was a common problem for the hybrid and nothing was wrong. I stated I owned a ford hybrid for six years, as well as other hybrids and none of them had this issue. He then said it was "due to the weight of the vehicle". The second was unaware of any problems and said I could make an appointment, but they wouldn't be able to try to fix it unless they could recreate the problem. |

| Description | Two issues with my 2022 hybrid maverick: first, the brakes are unpredictable. Often in slow moving situations, the brakes fail to engage until I ultimately have to floor the pedal often causing a grinding noise and abrupt stop. Attempts to slowly brake sometime fail. Passengers in truck are thrusted forward when this occurs and I often feel like I am going to rear end someone. Brakes will be assessed next week at my local ford dealer in conjunction with the engine problem. For a second time my engine failed while accelerating on 55 mph highway. As I normally accelerated to cross the choptank river bridge in md, the engine revved but the car failed to accelerate, the engine malfunction came on and a red box saying to pull over safely. Having experienced this before, I knew I had to get off the highway. I barely made it across two lanes of traffic to pull off to the adjacent fishing pier. I noticed my electric power was a low as my window would barely move. I turned off the car and called my dealer. They advised that I could get a tow or if I felt safe, and the car turned back on, to drive it in even though the malfunction light was still on. So I drove it home friday night and it goes to the dealer on monday. However, this engine failure happened to me once before in early december which required a tow in to the dealer. Again, I was normally accelerating on rt. 695 when the engine revved but the truck slowed/stopped in a exit/merge area. I did not have enough power to get to the shoulder so I managed to pull over into the small area of the merge/on ramp. At this time my car went into a deep sleep, nothing worked. Once towed to the dealer, they assessed my car had an "old" battery in it and replaced it. Guess it wasn't the battery since my engine has failed again. Also, since the first engine failure, my overall gas mileage only averages 35 mpg but before these episodes I averaged 41mpg for 8 months. Feeling very unsafe in my maverick now! |

| Description | This small ford 2022 truck is a brand new first year of its type hybrid, with electrical regenerative braking. The 2022-2023 ford maverick hybrid system attempts to use electrical regenerative braking at speeds that are too low to generate a braking effect. When creeping forward in stop-and-go traffic below 10 mph, depressing the brake pedal has zero effect on slowing the truck down. Numerous times I have been in situations that required what I might refer to as sensitive, gentle or careful braking where one might "drag" on the brake to creep forward in traffic or parking. That is nearly impossible and not consistent with the brakes on the hybrid ford truck. Depressing the brake pedal with a heavy foot does engage the hydraulic brakes to finally stop the vehicle. But it also does it in a very sudden way, causing passengers items in the back seat or bed to be forced forward, as in a sudden crash. This has been a problem since I took delivery of the vehicle and I've had many close calls in traffic thanks to this defect. My wife hates to ride (and will not drive the vehicle) in city driving situations. No warning lights are associated with this problem. |

| Description | Brakes: ford already issued a tsb but this is more recall level issue (22-2493). At low speeds the breaks as applied so not work and then eventually “wake up†and grab hard due to the operator having to press much harder on the brakes to engage. This is not safe and should be a full recall with an investigation. There are many threads that discuss this on the internet, I am also experiencing it. It's a matter of time before someone gets rearended because the maverick brakes don't work at low speeds well. Separately, flashing lights from the sun through the trees triggered a early collision warning for me once which I thought was odd. The cause is a guess but there were not other cars in front of me. |

| Description | I know there are issues with the hybrid versions, but this one is not a hybrid. I have had the battery die 4 separate times resulting in me being stranded due to no fault of my own. This ford maverick was purchased through the military auto sales at ramstein ab germany. It is us-spec and owned/operated by a us military member stationed overseas. The first time it happened at the frankfurt airport after owning it for a week and driving it from the port of bremerhaven (port of entry). Once I got it jumped and back to ramstein I did not have an issue for 3 weeks. It died after sitting for three days over new years. I jumped it and drove it around for over an hour to charge the battery. I then left it for a few days to see if it occurred again. One week later it died. I then jumped it and drove it around again to charge the battery. At this point I suspected the ford pass connect, bluetooth or wifi to be the cause so I turned all of those off. After going on a work trip for a week I came back to discover it was dead again. Something is wrong with teh battery or electrical system. It should automatically go to a deep sleep mode if lower voltage is detected. I don't know what is running (it is not something the driver selected) but it is killing the battery. The last time my duracell jump pack registered an error and could not jump it. This is a serious defect that can leave people stranded without warning. |

| Description | This is a hybrid braking issue where an extreme loud 'clunk' noise which can be felt coming from under the car at low speed less than 10 miles an hour when braking the car. In addition, the brakes seem to not engage properly at stop and go traffic forcing driver to stomp on the brakes to make the car stop. The brakes sometimes won't release after stopping forcing the driver to hit the throttle where the car suddenly lunges forward after the sudden release of the brakes. The forward collision warning also comes on unexpectedly without having another car in front of me. Happened twice since ownership of the car. Seems to be common in cold weather. |

| Description | Hybrid maverick: the brakes grab so abruptly while coming to a stop. It will jerk your upper body forward. Sometimes the brakes won't grab until the very last second. It feels like the transition from hybrid braking to mechanical braking is lethargic then grabs all of a sudden. In stop and go traffic there is a lack of confidence that the brakes will actually stop you in time. It literally hit or miss. Very dangerous and jarring. It is not something that the driver can get used to through muscle memory. As the driver you have zero control over this action. Anything slow and/or at a downward slope in traffic will make you cringe. |

I drove my truck in the last snow fall we received and when I went to brake it was much worse than in normal conditions. It felt like I slid into the stop and had to push the brakes really hard and my kids heads jerked trying to brake. Clearly is a safety issue. When I was in a drive thru waiting for my food the truck jerked forward and it felt like the transmission was falling out. |

| Description | When braking at slow speed and almost stopped, the brakes grab hard suddenly and prematurely then lock without pushing the brake pedal any harder. Happens when I'm just slowing to stop. I have not taken the vehicle in for this. I have not had an accident. No one has been hurt. It is a safety risk stopping short of the intended spot. Driver and passengers suddenly getting jerked forward when not prepared. Loud bang or grabbing noise. Could be rear ended due to sudden unplaned braking. Doesn't occur everytime. No dash indicator lights on when this occurs. Brakes release is normal after this occasion. This has happened numerous times since purchase in march 2022. |

After three to four seconds of forward momentum and continuing to apply steady pressure to brakes, brakes engaged forcefully causing the wheels to lock up. This was without warning. This has been happening more frequently and with more randomness. Due to the hating motion, this latest event compounded a prior injury in my back and passenger shoulder (from the seat belt locking). Reported problem to dealer, was told this was normal. This has happened many times prior, this is the first time it caused an injury. |

| Description | Breaks not responding or working correctly at low speed... At low speed the break pedal will suddenly become "soft" and vehicle will surge forward until the break pedal is moved a significant distance downward in some cases causing a very abrupt stop from having to slam on the breaks. The other situation during slow speed is that the breaks will suddenly stop short and hard. Then you will need to release the break to move forward causing the above situation to occur where the break pedal becomes soft and takes a lot of downward travel to achieve the same level of breaking. I am an experienced driver of many years and have owned or rented hybrids and ev's and none have had breaks that responded as dangerously as the 2022 ford maverick. I have nearly hit two other stationary vehicles in a parking lot and while at a stop light as well as nearly hitting someone that was walking between parking spaces as the this vehicle surged forward from a sudden loss of breaking at low speed. As you can imagine this also causes many looks of concern from observers as your vehicle is surging and stopping abruptly while driving in parking lots or traffic. I purchased this vehicle for my family to use and I don't want them use it due to these safety concerns. The breaks work as expected on highways at higher speeds, only issue is during slow speed breaking. This is a safety issue and needs to be fixed. |

| Description | About two weeks after first buying the car I noticed that when breaking the pedal requires inconsistent extra pressure at times to stop the car. Also while breaking and coming to a slow downhill stop the front end makes an odd clunk sound while jerking to a stop. These things only happen very infrequently, so when I took it to the hansel ford dealership (in santa rosa, ca.) they could not repeat the sound or breaking effect. The first time I heard the noise I thought I hit something. I feel that the inconsistent breaking could pose a safety issue, making it harder to stop, and potentially causing a collision. I called ford consumer assistance, they gave me case # [xxx], and asked me to return it to the dealer. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |

| Description | While driving in traffic on the highway at about 20-30 mph, traffic in my lane slowed further. In response, I applied what should have been an adequate amount of brake pressure to slow down and stop if needed given the following distance I had left. Initially I progressively applying more braking pressure, but after a ~3 seconds of this I slammed the brake down. Instead, the vehicle did not slow as expected in the following ~5 seconds. Despite having slammed on the brake at that point, the vehicle only then showed the emergency braking alert and emergency braked in addition to my foot being fully down on the brake. However, this was too late as my passenger and I rear-ended a toyota tacoma. They and myself have filed against my insurance, so there is an accident on my car report that I know has depreciated my new vehicle's value. Although I do not currently have the toyota's estimate, I believe I can ask the owner or my insurance for this. Previously, I had several rear-ending close calls in the car when in traffic and I knew that I often struggled to slow down at stop lights when they first turn yellow. As a result, I've often sped up to beat the red since I knew my vehicle struggles to brake in time. My car is currently being repaired by the closest dealership to my so, but I no longer trust the vehicle. I believe my hybrid maverick does not adequately mechanically brake since it over relies on the weaker regenerative braking. The dealer has attempted to replicate the issue at this point but my vehicle is available for further inspection upon request. I am happy to answer any additional questions. |

| Description | New incident for me on a recent road trip. I had the check engine light activate once on me back in may when I was on the interstate with cruise set around 75 mph and I hit the accelerator to go around someone. Just the yellow/orange light and it disappeared a day later. On this last trip, same scenario, but the vehicle threw a red powertrain failure light and went into limp mode. The dash instructed me to pull over when safely possible. Power to accessories(but not hvac) was on, but drivetrain was not functioning. Luckily, once I got over to the shoulder, I was able to reset the vehicle by doing a complete shutdown of the vehicle. It took a couple of tries, but it came back to life. We were able to continue on with no issues at all other than a yellow/orange engine light that disappeared in a couple of hours of continued interstate driving. This has now happened three times total all under the same driving situations. |

| Description | There's an issue every time I pull in a parking spot or when coming to a slow stop at a red light where there's an abrupt braking issue - I slowly press the brake and it would not slow smoothly sometimes even make a loud noise which sounds like the hydraulic brake all of a sudden working when its supposed to be smooth breaking - this is dangerous as it is random and may come as a surprise when just trying to come to a slow stop. I believe its the transition between the e brakes and the hydraulic brakes its just not smooth at all. |

You mentioned that your vehicle will not turn on, is that correct? [xxx]: yes well the truck died while running in the road, while driving suddenly no sign of power or electricity and without warning became unresponsive in every aspect regarding to electricity (breaks, steering wheel, parking break, transmission, airbags) given the case the truck is hybrid everything stopped working. After that the truck did not start again no ignition total loss of power. [xxx]: thank you for clarifying that for me, [xxx]. I can only imagine how much of an inconvenience this all must have been for you. I want to also ask, what did ford lincoln advise about your warranty coverage when your vehicle was inspected? [xxx]: well to my disappointment I was told that is was covered the after like 2 weeks they called me back that warranty was not going to cover it [xxx]: so that is unacceptable for me [xxx]: I can understand your disappointment, as having unexpected repair expenses can be quite the burden. If you don't mind me asking, did ford lincoln fairfield provide a reason as to why the warranty would not cover your vehicle's current concerns? [xxx]: no any reason it just said that it was out of the warranty that the bumper to bumper is like 36,000 [xxx]: I mean my truck has an airbag recall and won't be fixes until 2023 according to my research [xxx]: so to me this kind of unsafe vehicle should be bigger than a recall information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.

(this has been an on going problem since we purchased this vehicle.) we feel very unsafe driving our maverick and have been told by the dealership that it is the way the brakes work on the hybrids. Dealer states they could not duplicate the problem, but from there understanding thats just the way the brakes work on hybrid vehicle. No one other then the dealer has ever looked at or inspected our vehicle. It has been a issue since I purchased the vehicle new, no warning lights, no message, no symptoms or problems prior to the brakes malfunction. This happen every time we drive the vehicle.

| Description | I never had this sort of problem with brakes in any cars but the maverick hybird. In low speed (around 5mph) the brake is so unmanageable that I worry every time I park. It's unable to move forward 2-3 inch at a time, it goes to 6-12inch every stops and god knows what number it will go on the next try. This is very dangerous to property and to pedestrian because the driver can't control how far the car will go before stops, even it's in low speed. |

| Description | The low braking system on the 2022 ford maverick hybrid is irregular and unpredictable. In stop-and-go traffic (sub 10mph), the braking system can either give you too much or too little brakes, resulting in the vehicle's brakes automatically grabbing and producing a jarring stop. This can be noticed when pulling in to a parking spot, slowly moving to a stop at a red light or slowly driving through a parking lot. The safety risk is a wreck waiting to happen that could injure the passengers as well as nearby cars and/or pedestrians. In winter driving (which is due soon where I live), the lack of a reliable braking system could spell even more trouble. This issue seems to finally be acknowledged by ford via ssm 51142 but not externally to the general public. Ford does not recognize this on their site and it took a lot of work to get the dealer to finally look into this and provide the ssm # above. Still the dealer has no confirmed date as to when the software update can be made to fix this issue. The vehicle has been inspected by my local ford dealer but they of course say nothing is wrong and that I have to wait on ford to make a decision on when the update is available. No warning signals or messages are displayed when this issue occurs. This issue has been present since I took receipt of the vehicle back on 5/13/22. |

| Description | Maverick hybrid brakes are inconsistent. Sometimes you can brake smoothly, sometimes you cannot and the brakes will grab suddenly and lurch. Using adaptive cruise is miserable because the truck lurches back and forth and feels like it can't transition between friction and regenerative braking. There are no warnings on dash, truck has 1,000 miles. It is dangerous because getting more braking force than you anticipated can lead to being rear ended and not getting the brake force you anticipate can cause you to rear-end someone else. |

| Description | I recently purchased my 2022 ford, maverick and when slowing to a stop the brakes seem to grab and then suddenly stops as more pressure is applied to the brakes. This has also happened on multiple occasions when I pull into a parking space at speeds of about 5mph or less when the brakes suddenly grab and the vehicle kinda jerks and can stop suddenly. I would say this has happened about 30-40 times so far. Not sure if it's a brake problem or something else. I will be bringing my vehicle to the dealership next week where I bought it, tamiami ford in naples florida, but I don't expect to get any co-operation from them as I have had issues with them from the very beginning but that is a story for another time. |

| Description | Brakes suddenly grab when coming to a stop at slow speed. Although control of the vehicle is maintained on dry pavement I am concerned that it would cause loss of control in icy road conditions. Also, when this occurs while creeping ahead in heavy traffic I'm concerned that the abrupt stop could cause a rear-end collision from the vehicle following me. I believe that the problem is inherent in the design of the vehicle and that there is nothing that needs to be fixed at the dealership service department. The effect seems to occur when braking force is transferred from the hybrid's battery regeneration mode to actually applying the brakes. The date cited below is the most recent occurrence. The problem has happened sporadically since the vehicle was new, march 2022. |

| Description | While driving , at times the transmission suddenly stops responding when gas pedal is pushed. The engine revs but the transmission does not engage and the truck drifts to a stop. This happens every once in a while, not predictably. If you turn off the engine and wait a few minutes the transmission seems to reset itself and then drives normally for a while. Very dangerous when driving in traffic at high speed, to suddenly lose power and come to a stop. So far I've been lucky enough to be able to get off to the side of the road onto the shoulder. The maverick is in for service now and I've told them that other maverick owners are reporting this on owners forums. |

| Description | Occasionally when braking at low speed, primarily when coming up to a turn, stop sign or traffic light the brakes lockup causing the vehicle to come to an abrupt stop. Even when not changing the amount of pressure being applied the brakes act like I have applied full pressure. Most of the time it hasn't been a safety issue but there is potential in wet/icy conditions for the vehicle to slide. Also the issue could cause someone to rear end me as they are not expecting me to suddenly stop. |

| Description | At low speeds with partial brake pedal force applied the car doesn't stop in a controlled manner. It drifts somewhat as the driver increases the pressure on the pedal then it stops abruptly. It feels like the car isn't going to stop at all until at the last instant it almost "panic" stops. Very unnerving and potentially dangerous as the vehicle tends to drift several feet before stopping. |

| Description | At low speeds, the brakes do not apply evenly or smoothly. When light pressure is applied to the brake pedal, they go from being ineffective to locking in a way that causes the vehicle to jerk as though it has been hit by another vehicle. This is very problematic in slow moving traffic conditions. Safety of myself and others are put at risk because the driver of the vehicle cannot reasonably predict the vehicle braking response. In brief discussion, various dealership representatives said that the behavior is typical for hybrid vehicles. The brake system as not been inspected to my knowledge. There have been no related warning lamps or indicators related to the brake issues. |

| Description | The 2022 ford maverick has a design flaw the harms the environment and places driver and passengers at risk. Specifically the vehicle does not have a metal skid plate which places the evap system at risk for damage. If the system is damaged the vehicle is still driveable, but doing so allows gas vapors into the environment and worse, possibly into the passenger compartment. Looking under the vehicle, one finds some sort of fabric or mesh material which is definately not robust enough to protect the evap system components from damage. Driving on paved roads.... No problem. Using this vehicle as a truck involves driving on farm land, pastures, lightly wooded areas,etc. This is where the damage may occur. There is no warning posted on the vehicle or in the owners manual that warns drivers to avoid these areas. The solution is simple. A recall to replace the fabric or mesh material with a metal skid plate. Most trucks and off-road vehicles have metal skid plates as standard components. Why the 2022 maverick does not is beyond my understanding. |

| Description | Ford is taking an unreasonable amount of time in correcting nhtsa recall number 22v594. I have purchased the vehicle and the dealership will not let me take ownership until the recall is corrected. Ford estimates the parts to be available in the first quarter of 2023. Not allowing a consumer to take ownership of a vehicle for over three months after paying for it is unjust. The delay in fixing the vehicle is absurd considering the fact that other ford maverick's are currently being built and delivered with a safe airbag system. |

| Description | I was driving east on rte 70 near mt. Airy, md at approximately 2 am the morning of sunday, oc. 11. At approximately 65 mph. In and instant all power to the vehicle went dead. The engine stopped and all electrical components went dead. Most importantly, my lights went out, the power steering was inoperable, and the brakes went out. It was absolutely terrifying. Because of the lack of brakes, I narrowly avoided colliding with an 18-wheeler. I was able to pull the car off the road on the right side and allow the vehicle to drift to a stop (again, no brakes) over the course of 1/4 - 1/2 mile. I called a tow truck. They towed the vehicle to apple ford in columbia, md. I am told by the dealer that this most likely an issue with the battery wiring harness, and that ford is aware of the issue. It's unfathomable to me that ford would not issue a recall for this extraordinarily dangerous issue. I have contacted ford directly. They have been nothing short of abusive. Their ivr phone system seems intentionally designed to confuse and frustrate callers. I have attempted to escalate the issue to a supervisor, given the extremely dangerous nature of the issue. The representatives and customer advocates in the ford customer relations depaterment have not been helpful at all. |

The battery is fine according to the dealer, but it appears internal connections are not correct, causing the truck to die after every use. Ford is saying this might not be under warranty when the truck is an obvious lemon. Other owners are reporting the same issue with the hybrid models on various internet pages. It seems to be a common issue that should be subject to a recall. |

I completed my 100mi trip and when I got home I turned the truck off. 30 minutes later I took it for a short trip and and since then there's been no issues.

According to ford, "deep sleep" mode activates when: (a) vehicle inactivity for 14 consecutive days (b) the battery voltage drops below 9. 5 volts; or (c) extremely cold/hot weather conditions. My truck is never inactive for 14 days and has never been in extreme cold/hot weather conditions. Therefore I can only conclude severe voltage drops from the battery. The internet is full of complaints about this truck entering deep sleep mode and then failing to turn on again, even with a jump start. I'm concern for my safety that this vehicle will leave me stranded. |

When I fully depressed the gas pedal, the power meter (hybrid gauge instead of rpm) would only go up to 45%, the engine sounded like it was revving high but the car barely made any power. After a few minutes of this happening I got a message in my instrument cluster to immediately stop the vechicle, along with a red triangle with exclamation point dash light, at which point the car lost power, and started decelerating rapidly (as if in full regeneration mode (electric braking)) in the middle of the highway. I barely had enough time to get over 2 lanes of traffic and stop on the shoulder. I tried turning off the car, and on and the shifter wouldn't even go out of the p position (I physically couldn't turn it.) after a couple minutes I tried starting car again at which point car started with the check engine light on and drove normally like nothing ever happened. |

| Description | On my way home from a 200 mile trip, approx. 10 miles from home, engine lost power so I glided to the side of the road, as it slowly lurched to a stop on a rural highway. I wasn't able to get it off the highway as there was little to no shoulder so I backed it into a driveway, shut it off, looked under the hood, under body, tires, everything looked normal. Got back in, turned the key and hit the gas pedal hard and it wasn't lurching and said it was moving under all electric and that got me 3 ers of a mile down the road on all electric, then it died again and half the truck was sticking out onto the road. Attempts to put the truck in neutral to push off the road into a nearby residential driveway didn't work as every time I would get it in and try to leave the vehicle seat to push it would pop back into park. Dash indicator display showed the battery symbol and engine lite and fordpass alert showed up on my phone. Said it was going into deep sleep mode to preserve the high voltage battery power. Found out this morning 09/26/2022 there is a ford tsb out to repair these battery cable, battery, electrical issues. The 12v battery cable to the engine fuse box connector has a bad weld connection. |

| Description | Like many others have reported, when I apply the brakes in low speed situations, there are times when the brakes respond as if they are not going to stop. Then, there are other times when the brakes seem to grab and stop the truck abruptly with a clunking sound. The brakes at times respond normally and without problem and then other times unpredictably grabbing or appearing to have no stopping at all requiring driver to reapply the brakes to safely prevent an accident. May be a software problem in the regenerative braking to mechanical braking system but definitely needs to be addressed. |

Sometimes it seems as if the vehicle may not stop and when I apply slightly more pressure the brakes grab and come to an unnerving quick stop. Sometimes there is a loud clunk sound that accompanies it. It is unpredictable as to which low speed braking attempts will cause it to occur and I am always wary in stop/go traffic. I have been driving for almost 50 years and have never had this problem with a vehicles brakes unless there was something wrong! |

| Description | When driving at slow speeds the brakes seem to have a “dead spaceâ€. The brakes slowly engage, don't engage at all (hence dead space) then abruptly stop the vehicle. There is also a loud clunk associated with it. On one occasion the brakes would not engage at all causing me to nearly hit the vehicle in front of me. I had to pump the brake in order to stop abruptly, creating a dangerous situation. I took it to one ford dealer who claimed they couldn't replicate the issue. The following week I took it to another in which they were able to replicate it however advised the can't seem to find anything wrong with the system to be able to fix it. |

| Description | (2. 5l hybrid) the brakes are not consistent at low speeds - (I. E. When creeping up in traffic). The physical brakes often fail to react to any driver input for several seconds or until brake pressure is increased significantly. There was recently an event when the adaptive cruise control was activated in stop-and-go traffic where traffic ahead moved up slightly, but the vehicle failed to slow to a stop until the driver intervened. A red warning message popped up, but was not able to be read before disappearing, and adaptive cruise control was unavailable until the next ignition cycle. There is a high risk of a low speed accident with the way the brakes are currently calibrated. |

| Description | At slower speeds (typically in congested traffic situations) the brakes will sometimes 'lock up' when vehicle is traveling below 5 mph. The sudden and unexpected brake application will sometimes cause the vehicle to suddenly stop, jarring the passengers and could potentially cause a following vehicle to collide with the rear of my vehicle. This occurs sporadically, and despite my best efforts to adapt my driving habits, I am still unable to predict when the brakes will suddenly apply themselves. |

| Description | Transmission failure. Following a 550 mile road trip over two days. The transmission would fail to engage in drive and reverse until the engine was throttled to 4000-4500rpm. Transmission felt like a manual with failing clutch, would slip until slowly engaging after running at high rpms for a few seconds. The condition appeared after the first day of the trip, and was intermittent, occurring only during standing starts. Once the vehicle was moving, there was no problem maintaining speed. Over the next two days the condition deteriorated to the point where it was occurring almost every time the vehicle was started and an attempt was made to start from a stand still. It began to become noticeable shifting from 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 as well, where it felt like the transmission was slipping during acceleration. There were no warning lamps or indications from the vehicle that there was a failure. This caused a loss of power and acceleration, which endangers the vehicle occupants in situations where power and acceleration is needed, such as merging, crossing intersections, or making defensive driving maneuvers. This vehicle was towed to a dealer, where the dealer validated the concern, and the transmission was replaced under warranty. Repair notes state that the transmission converter had failed. The transmission was returned to the manufacturer during the service visit. There are multiple instances online of other vehicles with this transmission having the same problem. |

Usually the radio and instrument cluster stay on for a bit until I open the door but not this time. 5 minutes later it finally came back on, after me trying to investigate what's happening. Thought it was a fluke and drove about 45 minutes away to an appointment and got stuck for an hour or two until I could get someone to jump me. Then drove home, turned the key off same thing happened again. The only way to get the vehicle on is to jump it. 12v battery reads 13. 6v on my voltmeter, but under the hood near the fusebox it's only reading 3. 36v. They are supposed to be the same which means there's an electrical wire harness issue or a loose connection somewhere. Been driving this since jan with no issues at all. I drive around 2 kids aged 4 and 16 months. Getting stranded over 45 minutes away from my house with 2 kids isn't safe, it could have been worse on a 86 degree day.

| Description | There is a wiring harness that connects the 12v battery in the hybrid maverick versions with the components in the engine bay -- dozens of users in one the maverick truck club forum have posted about this wiring harness failing due to a poor solder connection. This has now happened to me as well. In my case, there was no warning, the truck completely went dead after I came back to work from lunch. The entire electrical system, which runs off the 12v battery when you turn off the truck, was 100% dead. The battery was fine, at 12. 5v, but the rest of the system couldn't access the battery power, and you couldn't turn the truck on to access the high voltage battery power since that relies on the 12v battery to engage the contactors. I had my truck towed to the dealership and it took them more than a week to get the part replaced. I told them what I knew about the issue and they determined that this wiring harness was indeed the problem. They said there is still no official bulletin by ford and no recall at this time. This part needs to be recalled and fixed so people are not left stranded when it could be easily prevented due to a faulty part. I've attached my dealer's service notes. |

Since I was aware of this potential issue I had a battery booster jump pack in the vehicle... But if you can't unlock the vehicle you are out of luck. Luckily after repeatedly hitting unlock... It eventually unlocked. When I got in I tried to start it but instead got a message saying "no key detected". I got my battery pack out and hooked it up... Hit boost. Went to start the mav and instantly it started. When I got ready to go, I could not move the dial from park to drive and still was getting the "no key detected" message. It took about 2 or 3 minutes for the key to be detected. Drove vehicle to dealership and and am awaiting repairs. Suspect this is a wiring harness issue that have been reported by numerous maverick owners. Seems like a tsp/recall is in order! Only have 1,155 miles on this new vehicle. |

The truck then had a "pull over immediately" (not 100% sure on the wording) notification on the dashboard and stopped accelerating. Once the notification popped up and the truck stopped accelerating, the air conditioning & power steering also stopped working. I was able to coast long enough to get over to the shoulder where I was able to call a tow truck. While waiting for the tow truck, the truck would not start, the hood latch would not open, and it was unable to shift gears so it could not be put in neutral to be towed. |

| Description | Hybrid vehicle. Very jerky and rough low speed braking. The transition from regenerative braking to mechanical/hydraulic is extremely jerky and rough. Sometimes the hand off between regenerative and mechanical leaves me with no brakes at all and I am forced to slam the brakes. In a parking lot I look like a rank amateur driver. I've been driving for 52 years and have never experienced anything like this. It always happens no matter what I do. Over 5000 miles on the odometer. |

| Description | Sudden lose of braking due to a specific set of circumstances. I've had this about 7 times now inside of 1,000 miles of driving (new car). Seems to happen when: traction battery is near full. I've only been able to read the traction battery capacity for a day now, seems 70% is near full as far as regenerative braking is concerned. I started my car today as 55degrees oat with a 63% full battery. My initial drive is downhill for the first 1. 5 miles with the first . 5 being very downhill. This event normally happens at the bottom of that . 5 miles. I went from 63% to right at 70% inside of that. This car has a "ev coach" bar that shows (if you turn it on, which I only did very recent). Normally this bar stays within the lines. When this happens it goes beyond the lines. I get no cel/warning lights. I just lose braking suddenly (regenerative) and have to brake it myself (a very sudden loose). I do have videos of this happening now. |

| Description | When I shift into drive gear it hesitates to go until it kicks into the battery drive mode. When I am at a stop sign you can feel it switching over and when I go to push on the gas to go from the stop sign it doesn't go immediately until it shifts to the electric mode. When I am in a drive thru and it switching from electric to gas mode it jerks like the transmission is going to fall out |

| Description | Brakes seem to be reluctant to react to pressure on brake pedal at low speeds, like slowly rolling forward, and eventually a higher pressure is needed and an abrupt stop occurs. Also on a slippery road some abrupt stopping occured in a similar manner. |

| Description | I, and many other 2022 hybrid ford maverick owners have noted that the braking system in this vehicle is very inconsistent when at very low speeds. When approaching a full stop, the relatively linear (relatively smooth) feedback of increasing brake pedal input suddenly transitions to a very hard jerky stop near the end of the braking. This does not always occur, but most often it does, and one has to either guess or interpret when that will happen and release pressure brake pedal at just the right moment and then repress is very very gently to come to a smooth stop. This affect also makes stop and go driving extremely annoying. On one hand it makes you look like an idiot as your car jerks to a stop every few feet, but on the other hand it could be dangerous for some drivers and have less finesse in their foot and can't compensate and thus always come to abrupt stops in front of other vehicles in traffic. None of the other vehicles I have ever driven in my life were like this. It's a really bad brake system implementation. I believe it is software related since it does not always occur. Some of us theorize it has to do with the system transitioning from regenerative braking to the disc brakes. Ford company has not acknowledged this as a problem so far so there's nothing dealers can do, there's no "fix" since it isn't quite broken, but it's just bad and *potentially* dangerous. |

| Description | Hybrid braking system has poor and potentially dangerous modulation when at slow speeds 0-3 mph with low or medium brake effort. The transition from regenerative braking to hydraulic braking is such that in these situations the vehicle fails to slow to a stop predictably and then suddenly jerks or grabs unexpectedly. This happens often in common situations like pulling into a parking space, to a stop sign or at a drive through. Mild to medium pedal effort results in a sensation of the vehicle failing to react to you. When pressure is gradually applied the brake system slams on creating a sudden and jolting stop. This is a problem I have had since the vehicle was new, and now has 10,000 miles. I filed a complaint with ford and they took my information months ago but never followed up. I feel this problem is potentially dangerous as the system is not consistent from one stop to the next and could create an accident if the driver cannot negotiate its behavior and fails to stop in a controlled manner before hitting something or rolling out into traffic. A slippery surface like ice could cause a loss of control if the brakes grab suddenly. |

| Description | The ford maverick hybrid system attempts to use electrical regenerative braking at speeds that are too low to generate a braking effect. When creeping forward in stop and go traffic below 10 mph, depressing the brake pedal has zero effect on slowing the truck down. Depressing the brake pedal further does engage the hyrdaulic brakes to finally stop the vehicle. This has been a problem since I took delivery of the vehicle and I've had many close calls in traffic thanks to this defect. No warning lights are associated with this problem. |

Occurred on july 5 and had used the car earlier in the morning without any issues. I had to have the vehicle towed to the dealer. Tow truck able to jumpstart vehicle to move onto the flatbed. Upon arrival at the dealer and subsequent inspection, found fuse had blown from the jumpstart of the truck. After the fuse was replaced, the dealer found a negative terminal connection from the harness had broken at the flat section. The harness is on national backorder. Repair is still waiting to occur. |

| Description | With the initial instance (it has happened 3 separate times), I was traveling on the interstate on the way back from tennessee to georgia and stepped on the accelerator (basically punched it) to get around a big rig, all of a sudden I get a "tow truck" icon on my dash and the accelerator is unresponsive, so I think I was in electric mode only if that. Fortunately, I was close to an exit and was able to coast to a stop in a parking lot. I put it in park, whereby the shifter dial then locked into park, could not change it. My wife read a blog on the internet (the owners manual is useless) to wait a few minutes and everything should work, that turned out to be true, so we were able to be on our way, but scary as heck to be on the highway and your vehicle suddenly shuts down. My ford pass app showed a "high voltage battery warning" message and also the mil (check engine light came on solid and stayed on for at least another day, but eventually went out. This happened 2 other times, the exact same scenario, but this time light to moderate acceleration. I believe my safety was put at risk because the vehicle was rendered useless while traveling at high speeds on the highway. My dealer had it for 2 weeks, and said they read some transmission codes but tell me ford doesn't know what to do to fix the issue at this point. |

| Description | I returned from a short trip, 3 days to a truck that was completely dead. I received a notice via my ford mypass app that remote features were being shut off to conserve battery life. Upon arriving I could not open the door using the factory keypad, nor open the doors through the app. Required a call to ford and tow truck driver broke into car to retrieve key that was left in the glove box. Car required a jump. After starting this hybrid, no engine combustion required, I drove approximately 20 miles and parked the truck. That night I received the warning again and started the car, ran it for 15 minutes then drove the truck to the dealership. After 9 days, dealership indicates that they replaced 12 v battery, and car is ready for pickup. Before I picked up the truck, I have the same low batter warning on the app and remote features have been turned off. I don't believe that the issue has been resolved and it is being reported by a large number of other maverick owners on the follwing post https://www. Mavericktruckclub. Com/forum/threads/tracking-dead-hybrid-mavericks-reported-dealer-solutions-fixes. 16862/. |

| Description | I shut off my maverick to get out and get some water, when I got back in my truck, it had no power. It was as if the battery was dead. I had it jump started and drove home. In the middle of a intersection, while turning, the truck shut off completely. No power. When this happens, you have no emergency lights and can not put it in neutral to push it off of a road. If you are on a back road with no lights, you can't turn on the hazards nor push the vehicle off the road out of traffic. It was the wiring harness that went bad. My maverick is at the dealer right now waiting for the part to come in. This is becoming a common issue for the truck across the us. The dealer confirmed it was wiring harness. A cop jumped started the truck for me the second time. I had to have somebody follow me home as it kept dying in the middle of the road on the way home. I consider this a safety issue as you have no lights to keep from getting hit by another vehicle and no way to put it in neutral so you can get it out of the road. There were no warning lights or symptoms that it was going to fail, it just stopped working. |

| Description | Some 2022 ford maverick hybrids have a faulty seal and leak oil onto transmission and clutch. I was accelerating on the hwy when engine light came on (solid). Noticed it needed more time and effort to accelerate. When parked and ran idle vehicle would suddenly jump- the rpm would shoot up sporadically for several minutes. There were no prior symbols or symptoms to this issue, and the vehicle is new. It happened exactly at 128 miles. Issue was apparent less than 12hrs of ownership. Took it to the ford dealership which I purchased the vehicle from on monday, I took possession friday. The service advisor diagnosed it with transmission clutch slippage (p0811) and that the dampener (clutch?) would need to be replaced. Still waiting on them to email me the exact part number. Allegedly, a seal was loose which allowed oil to contaminate the transmission, causing slippage. This could prevent bodily harm, vehicle accident, and death. Pulling out into a busy road or merging with traffic requires a maintained speed or anticipated acceleration - this issue could prevent a driver from reaching this and result in a miscalculation or collision. I, myself, almost experienced an accident when merging off the hwy and the 2022 ford maverick would not accelerate. The engine light turned off after 2 hours of gentle driving in which a slippage did not occur after it was allowed to run hot long enough for the oil to burn. This gentle driving carried me through the weekend until I could drop it off monday. It was easily recreated twice in the shop. Oil could be smelled and observed burning when the hood was propped open. These issues have been verified by the dealerships mechanics and general manager. Ford customer service acknowledged other hybrid owners are experiencing the same issue when I contacted about parts, and this is a common defect amongst other hybrid owners. Some required a new transmission when dampener/clutch did not solve the issue. |

Backup camera display in cabin fades out in certain lighting and shadow settings. Camera is useless at times. Any suggestion or known fixes for this problem? (2022 Maverick Lariat).
I have seen other complaints on this problem but nothing to remedy the problem.
Our company purchased a 2022 Ford Maverick on 12.23.21, the dealership cashed the check that day, stated they would do a full inspection and cleaning and deliver the vehicle a few days later. Long story short the vehicle was never delivered it is now February 2022 and they are claiming they have no idea when they can get a new gas tank to replace the one with a hole in it. What are my legal options?
