After ~32000 miles of driving the truck was shuddering aggressively when accelerating. On 10/13/2023 truck was taken into a Ford Dealership, Preston Ford West in Randallstown, MD, for repair of this issue and was told this was due to both CV axles failing and it was no longer safe to drive. From my research, this part failing so early in the life of the vehicle is significantly earlier than what is typical of a CV axle.

- Westminster, MD, USA

CV Joins or front axles failed after 10k miles. The car shakes under acceleration always between 50mph and 60mph and also when you try to overtake other cars. It can shake pretty horribly depending on how hard you press the gas pedal. The problem was reproduced by the dealer but they don't have the parts to fix it. No warning lights.

- Miami, FL, USA

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was shuddering upon acceleration. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was not able to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. While driving up a hill, the vehicle lost motive power and was shaking vigorously. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to park the vehicle. The vehicle failed to start the next day. The contact jump-started the vehicle. The -??Stop Safely Now-?? message was displayed. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, who was unable to determine why the vehicle failed to start but informed the contact the CV axle needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that the parts were on backorder. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000.

- Glendale, CA, USA

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that while driving at 40 MPH, the vehicle started shaking uncontrollably. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the failure was due to a faulty passenger-??s side half-shaft axle. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

Parked in front of garage turn off and knew something was not right. truck loss all power. was dead, ,completely dead. The next day I was leaving for a trip. called for tow and tow could not jump it. truck would not go into neutral. Hybrid electric transmission would not go into neutral. I left for trip came back and still dead. had to call for another tow, tried to jump will not jump or turn over. would not go into neutral. could not push truck or unlock or turn steering wheel. this is a major safety issue. If you kid is in the truck you can not open the truck. If the truck is on fire and your kid is in the truck. you can not open the truck!. if the truck died at Rail road track. died on freeway, or when in traffic your doomed. It had to be put on four wheel dolly and towed to dealer at dealer over 30 days. still has a fire recall ford does not have a fix for. heat exchanger, hybrid cable, battery changed and dont feel safe to drive it.

As I was driving and began to slow down the vehicle switched from gas to electric driving and during the transition the entire vehicle started shaking excessively. As it happened it felt like the engine or transmission was the cause of the shake. This has happened 4 times randomly so far.

5/21/2023 8:45pm Driving south on I-15 through Temecula, a -??Service Vehicle Soon-?? warning showed up on display, I pushed -??OK-?? to clear the message and then -??Shift Sys Fault-?? warning showed up while the gear selector showed a flashing -??D-?? 8:48pm (see Ford Pass app) mileage 5,286 Then -??Powertrain Malfunction / Reduce Power-?? warning showed up and the truck started to lose speed. I put the Emergency Flashers on and started to maneuver to the right lane. The truck continued to lose power and the truck kept slowing even though I depressed the accelerator to try to increase speed and keep up with the freeway traffic so I could safely pull off the freeway onto the right shoulder. The gear selector was now flashing -??P-?? even though we were going over 50 MPH. I turned the selector knob clockwise to try to move to -??D-?? fearing that the transmission would self-destruct if it did engage Park. The selector did seem to change to D, still flashing, but I couldn-??t say if it stayed there for sure because I was too busy avoiding traffic to get off the freeway. As I pulled onto the shoulder continuing to slow, the emergency brake engaged and the transmission shifted into Park while we were still moving at approximately 5 to 10 MPH and the truck skidded abruptly to a stop making grinding noises. The transmission would not shift out of Park and the parking brake would not release. Note: This Maverick experienced many similar "Shift Sys Faults" errors several months ago although never while the truck was moving. Ford replaced the transmission on Dec 5, 2022 and the vehicle was operating normally until this event. Ford file CAS-38767629-B5P4Y1 9:28pm When Ford Emergency Service advised no help was coming, I turned the key on and I was able to shift the transmission to Drive and continue home. In previous events, after waiting 20-30 mins the fault would clear and the transmission and parking brake would function again. We continued home, 39 miles, without incident. Faults attached

There is a drivetrain shudder/vibration at lower speeds, while accelerating, and decelerating. Taking off from a stop seems to cause it most often, but not always. Vehicle does seems to recover, but stumbles a little. This is an intermittent problem, it has only 7,500 miles, no dealer is able to "reproduce" the problem yet. No warning lights, or DTC's. I am not sure it is a safety issue yet, but if the drivetrain suddenly disengages while traveling down the highway because of these symptoms now, I can see a real safety concern.

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!

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.

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!

My hybrid has an occasional shudder/rattle/vibration noise when the gas engine switches off. Started around 1900 miles on the odometer. Occurs at all speeds with the most noticeable shudder/rattle/vibration noise when stopped. I was worried that the transmission may cease to work and leave me stranded in traffic. There were no errors codes and no warning lights. Has been at the Ford dealer for 26 days as of today with no resolution nor a diagnosis.

When switching from gas engine to electric, the gas engine shook/vibrated violently causing the entire truck to shake like I went over rumble strips. It vibrates quite often when switching from gas to electric and vice versa but this time was dramatically different. P.S. There are no rumble strips by my house.

During driving, the truck will shudder during the transition from electric operation to ICE operation. The car hesitates during this problem. I've taken the truck to the dealer but they couldn't verify the problem. This problem has occurred several times over the past year.

- Westfiled, IN, USA

While attempting to accelerate to pass, the engine shut down and a warning displayed to pull over as soon as possible. The engine check light displayed and I only had electric motor operation. There was no power to continue to pass and I was able to return to an open lane and pull off the road without any further incident. I was lucky that the road was fairly open and there was no oncoming traffic. This is the third time this has happened and each time was while attempting to perform rapid acceleration in "normal" hybrid mode.

- Vero Beach, FL, USA

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.

[XXX]: Got it. And may I ask when you took your vehicle to be seen by Ford Lincoln Fairfield" [XXX]: currently my vehicle is 39,000 miles [XXX]: Nov 14 2022 [XXX]: Thank you! [XXX]: Please allow me 2-3 minutes to research this for you here on my end. [XXX]: ok thank you [XXX]: I am still checking on that for you [XXX], thanks for holding! [XXX]: Sounds good thank you [XXX]: Thank you for holding for me, [XXX]! So that I can best assist you, can you please clarify for me what it is exactly that is occurring with your vehicle? 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.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Accelerated to merge onto highway. Vehicle alerted to pull over safely when possible. Internal combustion engine shut off and vehicle "limped" in electric only mode until I could find a spot to park. This all happened while traveling at 70MPH on a busy freeway. Once I shut the vehicle off, I was able to start it again and travel to my nearest dealer. Dealer was unable to diagnose the issue but advised it was safe to drive home to our local dealer. Truck is currently at local dealer being diagnosed. One CEL of note was P0811 (clutch slippage). This truck is nearly brand new with fewer than 12,000 miles on the odometer. I have had similar Check Engine Lights with similar results of not being able to diagnose. However, this incident of power loss at highway speeds with my wife and 3 children in the vehicle was unacceptable.

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.

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.
