problem #106

Maverick

  • miles
Started to experience heavy shaking and vibrations while accelerating. Vehicle only had 20,000 miles on it at that point. Reduced speed to maintain control of vehicle. Took to dealer and was told that it was a failed CV axle which had failed and needed replaced. Mechanic informed us that the Maverick was produced with faulty cv axles and this was a common problem and vehicle was unsafe to drive until replaced. Mechanic advised us that the other axle would likely fail as well and as no change had been made to the design the replacement axles will likely continue to fail unless ford provides a real fix.

Failure of CV axles. This is a very common failure of low mileage 2022-2024 ford mavericks. The dealership confirmed they are bad. The new axle is on backorder from ford so I am driving the vehicle while I wait for the new part. The symptoms are shaking while accelerating.

Heavy vibration under acceleration starting at about 45mph until about 60mph. If off throttle at those speeds no vibration is felt. Only when accelerating. Vibration increases as more throttle is applied. This caused serious safety issues when having to climb up grades on freeway. No warning lights present. Vehicle has not yet been checked by dealer.

The vehicle begins to shake at stop lights, especially going downhill. In research, it seems to indicate the vehicle has issues with CV axles. Concerned for safety of myself, passengers, and the vehicle.

CV joint axle front right and left. Vehicle shaking upon acceleration and getting worse. This issue is very concerning when driving on the highway. This vehicle was taken to the dealership for a diagnosis. It is confirmed that the axle shafts need to be replaced. The estimated repair for this is $1200. This problem started as a subtle vibration. I took the vehicle to a tire shop and paid do have tires re balanced and rotated. They said the shake is not tire related. I also read on online forums that many people are having this issue. The parts are currently unavailable to repair. Meanwhile, the shaking continues to get worse.

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.

Two issues. There are times when I close my driver side door when I am outside the car with my keys in the ignition, car is on and the door locks. Luckily I am able to get in because I have Ford number combination unlock but this can be a serious issue for others. I also have been dealing with bad CV boot issues. Passenger side CV boot leaked and made the truck wobble at around 22k miles. Driver side CV boot is now having issues at 24k miles. This is problem is known in the forums and the mileage before CV goes bad can vary. Ford is currently fixing but no new parts or modifications are made to CV that will make the part better.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer to be repaired under an unknown recall and the powertrain control module software update, and the key fob failed to communicate with the vehicle and the vehicle failed to start. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the battery wiring harness. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to the recall repair under NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V590000 (Electrical System, Power Train). The VIN was included, and the vehicle had been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was unknown.

After completing all recalls at the dealer, most recently the PCM re-programming, my 2022 Maverick Hybrid engine would just stop running with no warning. Electrical system was intact, there was no response to the gas pedal. Car would just slow down and I had to pull over. I pressed the stop button, sat for a few seconds and pushed it again and the vehicle started and ran properly. This has happened three times over the past 3 months (most recently on [XXX]) while driving at night at highway speeds, during the day at 50 mph and 35 mph. All acted the same way. I only caught what may have been a part of a warning message on the dash that I believe said "connected" after the first incident. The truck has been at the West Richmond, VA Ford dealership for the past 10 days and they have not been able to diagnose the problem. This is a very dangerous situation and I can't drive the vehicle until a fix has been found and implemented. The NHTSA issued a report on a similar situation back in April of this year (24V267000) so it appears like Ford has not provided their dealers with a satisfactory answer to this problem. My truck did not exhibit an electrical shutdown or flash numerous trouble codes or the check engine light. The engine simply shuts off for no apparent reason. The technicians see nothing recorded in the onboard computer(s) either. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The CV axle on my 2022 Ford Maverick keeps failing. Has been repaired/replaced 3 times same Ford dealership completing repairs. It starts with shuddering and shaking when accelerating then a clicking noise and unable to keep vehicle straight. Lucky enough no accidents where caused, however the second time this happened I was on interstate going at least 75mph the clicking started then could not control the vehicle, couldn't maintain lane. I am a little surprised how lightly the issue is precevied. It's becoming routine like getting oil change and cv axles are changed out. I making this complaint because after 3rd time it is starting to have same symptoms again and drivability of vehicle.

Vehicle has had a Powertrain failure three times in a month. This causes the vehicle to look up and lose power. Dealers can not figure it out and Ford has not provided any solutions. Been without vehicle for 6 weeks at this point. Malfunction causes all systems to fault and vehicle seizes up making it undriveable.

I was driving for about 10 minutes at speed 35 mph then noticed the car is in electric mode but unable to accelerate. It feels nothing happened when I depressed the gas pedal. The car came to a complete stop at traffic light but failed to accelerate when I pressed on the gas pedal. I turned off the car and started it back up and everything return to normal.

I was driving on the freeway driving eastbound on 152 and I switch to the fast lane to pass a vehicle and the throttle stopped working, the truck lost speed and the truck turned off, a message popped on the screen saying that I needed to put it in park. I put it in park put the hazards on and attempt to restart it and it would crank but wouldn-??t start. I did this until the allowed amount of times reached its limit. I attempted to put the gear in neutral but the knob was stuck. The truck was at a slight angle as I was going uphill and couldn-??t get it to move. I find the release lever to make it neutral and it didn-??t work but now that lever got stuck all this is going on while the traffic is at is heaviest. The truck stalled until 2 hrs later when a tow truck came to pick it up. I got dropped off at a safe location and the truck turned on and would shift into gear but it sounded bad. Info screen says something about not being able to park and the key is stuck on the truck still.

I was driving on the highway at about 65 MPH. Without warning, the vehicle dashboard displayed -??Selected Gear Will Engage at Lower Speed, -?? the vehicle shifted itself to neutral, the accelerator pedal stopped responding, and the vehicle began coasting to a stop. I had to avoid high speed highway traffic to make it to the side of the road. When I had slowed to about 5 MPH, the vehicle forcibly shifted to park, and engaged the parking brake on its own -?" causing an abrupt stop. I could not shift out of park. The check engine light, wrench icon, traction icon all illuminated, the chime sounded and a series of errors displayed: -??Service Advance Trac-?? -??Collision Prevention Unavailable-?? -??Hill Start Unavailable-?? -??Service Engine Soon-?? among others. After power cycling the vehicle, the warning messages and icons remained, but I could shift into drive. However, the vehicle wouldn-??t travel above 30 MPH, and seemed to accelerate on its on, as if it were on cruise control set at 30 MPH. Abruptly stopping on the highway is very dangerous, and could have caused a serious accident. Unless there is a catastrophic failure (which there wasn-??t) the vehicle should never uncontrollably stop, especially on the freeway.
