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.

1- brakes grabbing at slow speed less the 5mph. 2- touch screen/backup camera has frozen up 3 times in the middle of backing up! You continue to back up but camera screen stays the same.

The aluminum battery cable is intermittent, which leaves the truck dead. TSB 22-2340 has been issued. IMHO, this should be a mandatory recall. A totally dead hybrid is dangerous!

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.

Many electrical faults caused by a bad wiring harness from the 12 V battery to the fuse block. Battery shows a full 12 volts but faults at the fuse block. Can be jump started, but will not start after ignition is turned off and shows zero dash lights when trying to restart.

- Holland, MI, USA

The vehicle will not crank and has no power. I have been getting the deep sleep notification nearly everyday. The wiring harness seems to be the issue but dealership says they find nothing wrong. Had service 4 times for dead maverick and they have replaced the battery 3 times. The vehicle will only start if I jump it through the hood terminals. If it sits for more that 24-48 hours I have to jump start the vehicle. FordPass app is useless due to being in deep sleep mode all the time. Seems others are having the issue with the wiring harness and C1617e eyelet terminal.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that he had come to a complete stop and had turned off the vehicle. However, upon attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The contact stated after manipulating the battery cable, he was able to restart the vehicle. However, the failure reoccurred on three other occasions and the vehicle failed to restart on the third occurrence of the failure. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer diagnosed that the battery harness wiring cable needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 9,200.

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.

At 6k miles my early build 2022 ford maverick hybrid died entirely while sitting in the garage. The truck can be jumped but will not hold a charge beyond that one use. 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.

My truck repeatedly enters "Deep Sleep" mode. 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.

Vehicle has no power anywhere... as if the battery is disconnected.. technical service bulletin #22-2340

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\4 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.

Vehicle wouldn't start, had to jump start it under the hood. 12V battery under rear seat showed sufficient voltage. Took vehicle to dealer and they reproduced and confirmed the conditions. Vehicle is still at the dealership awaiting repair. Suspect faulty soldered terminal in the battery wiring harness. Safety issue if similar faulty soldered joints exist throughout the wiring harness or electrical system causing more catastrophic conditions, i.e. loss of power while driving.

- Seattle, WA, USA

Vehicle can not power on after shutting down. You must jumpstart the vehicle everytime. Dealer stated wiring harness is the issue

- Katy, TX, USA

When turning off the vehicle, all electrical is powered off, and will not turn back on. This includes all door locks and shifting abilities. The vehicle cannot be switched to neutral to be moved without battery power and a manual override.

- Renton, WA, USA

The vehicle lost all electrical power with no response from any of the vehicle systems (i.e., door locks, lights, ignition, etc.).

- Bartlett, TN, USA

Drove vehicle, stopped and turned off the vehicle. No lights, no power nothing at all. Jumped vehicle and drove the vehicle home with no issues. I tried to restart the vehicle and nothing at all again. 12 volt battery was tested and found to be in good condition so it was not the battery. I had the vehicle towed to the dealer.

- Evening Shade, AR, USA

My car goes into deep sleep mode for no reason. The battery is fine, the harness is having issues.
