The rear brakes and rotors have prematurely worn out at only 28k miles, while the front brakes are like new. There is no way for me or any local repair shop to put it into brake service mode. The official Ford procedure does not work. NHTSA issued SSM 51217 acknowledging the issue, but the only solution is only to take it to a Ford dealer to do a simple procedure such as changing rear brake pads. This solution is unacceptable and causes an undue burden upon the customer in time and money for a known manufacturing defect. My closest dealer is 1 hour away. It can not pass my state safety inspection without this being done. Ford should be issuing a recall to address this defect, not simply driving people to the dealer network for basic safety maintenance.

Multiple instances of Auto Hold function sucking brake to floor and haulting vehicle at low speeds causing danger of a rear collision. Recommend adding a 1 second delay to current system before engaging auto hold function.

I have a 2022 Ford Maverick, 2.0 ecoboost engine, awd. I have been having brake problems since the beginning. The problem is the front brakes do not back out enough to leave a proper air gap between the brake pad and rotor when deactivating the service mode. Therefore the pads keep riding on the rotors causing glazing and grabby brakes when coming to a stop behind a vehicle. Turning off the active breaking?did help with the grabby brakes when stopping behind a vehicle, but did not resolve the glazing issue. I took the truck into two dealerships and the techs. could not find a solution. the front calipers, front brake hoses and the brake master cylinder have been replaced with no success. Maybe the solution is to adjust the air gap settings somewhere in the software.

(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.

Mavericks with Integrated Trailer Brake Controllers are not sending any voltage to the trailer brakes when the brake pedal is pressed. Customers are at risk of not having the anticipated additional braking ability of their trailers and will be putting the entire braking load on the truck alone. A Ford dealership had my vehicle for 2 weeks with no repairs done or guidance on when it would be repaired.

El dia 21 de marzo del 2022 llegando a mi casa Y para ser bien especifica frente a mi casa me estaba acomodando para colocar en riversa mi guagua Y la misma SE acelero sola Y los frenos no le funcionaron, causando que me fuera por un risco. Los air bags nunca le abrieron.
