The vehicle at a full stop such as a red light, will try to surge forward. It feels like someone is nudging you on the shoulder to get moving over and over. As if the vehicle is eager for the light to turn green.

While towing my boat down the interstate my truck lost all power from the engine and the dash began flashing with all sorts of errors. There was zero warning of this. Thankfully, I was safely able to get to the side of the interstate thankfully but I was basically dead in the water. The truck would sort of drive on its own, no input from me at all, it would just start moving if I let off the brakes and get up to about 35mph. The dash had the check engine light on, ABS light, and the transmission light on. The following messages came up on the screen; service engine, service advancetrac, hill start assist disabled, and the pre-collision assist was disabled. Thankfully no one was injured but it was incredibly dangerous that the vehicle lost all power in 70+ mph traffic, especially while towing a boat.

Engine completely fails while driving at highway speeds. Press on accelerator and no power. However Electronics, dash etc, are still on. It has happened 6 times in 2 weeks. Maverick has 26K miles. Each time I have had to coast to a safe shoulder or exit without any ability to accelerate. No warning lights, messages or other symptoms prior to occurrence. I have had it happen in "Normal" mode while using cruise control and lane assist. I have had it happen in "Normal" mode without using lane assist or cruise control. When it does happen, warning light says pull to safety, and check engine light remains on. I Am able to brake, place car in park, turn off car, restart, check engine light remains on and then am able to drive briefly again. It then happens again. Originally happened on Feb 14, 2024, then again on Feb 22, 2024, and then 4 times on February 25, 2024. Have taken back to dealer each time. Dealer cannot find anything associated with Code readings. Dealer is unable to duplicate. Ford has been unresponsive in providing any service bulletin. I am not the only Maverick Hybrid vehicle experiencing this. An outstanding engine failure and engine fire recall remains without resolution from Ford. I have given them permission to drive vehicle 100 miles, as that is when it first occurs. My vehicle is not safe to drive. My daughter and I were almost killed on high speed highway when the engine failed and 18 wheeler barreling down behind us. Ford has offered no solution or steps to compensate for this danger.

I bought a 2022 Maverick on 12 JAN 2022. The car broke down on the highway six months after (23 JUL 2022). Ford service department claimed it was a fuel injector issue and by replacing the part, the truck should be as good as new. Fast forward to Sat 30 DEC 2023 and the truck breaks down on the highway again with the engine light flashing. Ford service department informed me that the engine has to be replaced because several parts are broken/shattered and they do not know how. I am inclined to believe that the issue was never fixed to begin with and Ford put my safety and the lives of the people I care about at risk. I was sold a lemon with major engine issues and I am terrified of driving the truck again. All the service reports are currently at the dealership; I can acquire copies when needed.

Ford has recalled my 2022 Maverick for potential engine compartment fires due to catastrophic engine failure (reference: 23V380). A remedy was estimated to be available in mid-October, 2023. They have failed to provide a fix yet and this is taking way too long to be resolved.

Ford is refusing to actually fix the engine fire problem on the 22 Ford Maverick hybrid that I own and it keeps saying that they are going to have an update available in December they did this before couple months back instead it was going to be in October they keep changing the date and I'm having to drive around risking my life in a vehicle that could catch on fire and explode they even tell me not to park in the garage this is ridiculous when are they going to fix this problem or how do I go about getting them to at least of knowledge this. They have also damaged trim pieces in the vehicle while removing trim to replace air bags, now seat belt no longer works correctly

There has been a active Recall (Campaign/NHTSA# 23S27/23V380) on my Ford Maverick Since 26 of May 2023 that has not been able to be repaired. Ford has continued to pushback the anticipated remedy timeframe since October 2023. This is the Second recall for the same issue, as the first recall did not repair the issue but put a Band-Aid on it. Ford is beyond a reasonable amount of time to repair this recall since first issuing it.

In May 2023, a recall was placed against my vehicle without a remedy. The recall is about premature engine failure and the possibility of engine combustion. The remedy was supposed to be ready by October 2023, but is not yet available. I have never gotten an update since the initial recall information. The recall says that loud engine clanking sounds are possible engine failure sounds. I hear those sounds often when shifting from gas to electric modes. I have been driving still knowing this for 6 months and am worried for my safety due to this recall and the lack of timely remedy.
