In early April 2023 I opened my driver-??s side door and the inside of my 2022 Ford Maverick was wet from the headliner down to the carpets. There WAS condensation throughout the interior of the vehicle even though the Repair Order stated there was none. The inside of the vehicle was damp. All windows were closed tightly. The headliner, back seat, front seat, carpets, and all the interior was damp. I had a book on my back seat that was damp and the pages were curled. There was MOLD underneath the floor mats. I contacted a MOLD specialist who stated that it is impossible to effectively rid a vehicle of MOLD. He stated that MOLD spores are in every crevice of the truck and it WILL return. On April 6, 2023 I took the truck to The Ford Store where I purchased it. There was 1294 miles on the odometer. They could not find the leak. My vehicle was there for several weeks and the interior was completely torn down from the headliner to the carpets. The Service Department finally said that they located the leak area and repaired it. The dealer guaranteed in writing that the MOLD was gone. On June 23, 2024 (today) I was getting ready to take the truck back to The Ford Store for tomorrow-??s appointment. They will be addressing the three recalls. I just noticed MOLD under the mats again. The MOLD is on the floor board and is crawling up the footwells under the rubber mats. There is also MOLD on some of the plastic material close to the floor boards. My health and the health of all passengers who have ridden in my vehicle for the last 14 months have been and continue to be at risk. I have been contacted by other Ford Maverick owners who have experienced the same issue. The Ford Maverick Truck Club has many posts about leaks and subsequent MOLD issues.

Weld points at driver side front door have cracked and disconnected making the door stop in operable condition. Same issue as the Escape 2020-2022, likely same welding method used. Using a temporary bungee cord to secure door from overswing situation.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that mold was forming inside the front of the cabin due to a leak from the windshield. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure was confirmed. The contact stated that the mold was a hazard to the health of any occupant while inside the vehicle. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer unrepaired. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

My truck started collecting water in the front passenger side floor. Took it to the dealer and they couldn-??t find the leak at first. Then they claim it was coming from the window seal on the back passenger window. I refused to have it repaired for 950$. 600 dollars in now with leaky rear window. This has already started a mold issue under the carpet. This needs to be addressed by the manufacturer.

The truck is leaking rain water into the cabin driver's side floor. Technicians have not been able to find the leak and the carpet is moldy and smells. The truck has been in the shop two times now and Ford has not offered to replace the moldy carpet under warranty.

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.
