This vehicle was purchased in 2021 with a 3 year 36k mile warranty. At 39k miles the truck has started to shut off randomly while driving. It has put us in very dangerous situations and it happens multiple times every day. The vehicle will be driving down the road and suddenly shut off. It will not switch to neutral so cannot be pulled off the road. It will not turn on for at least 20 minutes so we get stuck in the middle of the road. Sometimes it will turn back on but other times it has to be jumped. Ford is telling us that any repairs will not be covered because this brand new car is out of warranty.

I got a letter from FORD about a 22C20 Recall of the side curtain airbag. January 2023 And I got a letter in the mail from Ford May 24 2023 and it says your 22C20 recall part is ready. I got an appointment from ford frontier June 1 2023 and when the dealer Service Advisor Jesus Labrada told me sorry, we don-??t have a part for airbags. He told me the left side and right-side airbags need to be changed and we have just one side. He doesn-??t take my car, he told me please call every 10 days to ask if we have a part or not. June 7 2023 I emailed Michael Marshall about the 22C 20 recall part. Do you have it and I got back to me and he said No part for recall yet. June 2023, I got another letter from Ford and Customer Satisfaction Program 22B39 about the vehicle, it may be possible a 12V battery connection may become loose, resulting in a no- start condition. June 2023, I got another letter from Ford about 23S27 on your vehicle, the engine could fail prematurely, in the event of an engine failure. And the letter says part may be available October 2023. Right now, I am not using this car, it-??s just sitting in my driveway. It-??s not safe for me, if engine fails and if I crash airbags are not working, I don-??t want to make a risk to get me or someone else in the car to get a injury or die. I would like to return this Ford Maverick Truck for a full refund.

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.

During a moderate cruise speed, 15-35 mph, the vehicle will produce a shudder. The vehicle shakes as if riding on rumble strips. It can replicated by coasting and resting the foot on the brake lever. It does not occur every time but it is disjointing when it does occur. This would occur 3-7 times a week. The way I-??ve found to stop it is to apply the brakes or the apply acceleration. Such maneuvers become unpredictable, and novice drivers may over react. This issue is well documented by drivers, with the keywords -??hybrid shuddering.-?? Because it is inconsistent, and ford has not pushed out a fix, this issue has been unresolved.

On Monday the 27th of March, 2023 I drove the truck home and there was no issues. When I went to go drive the vehicle on Tuesday morning to work, the 28th, it didn't start. There was no power to the vehicle and it wouldn't even turn over. I tested the truck battery and it was completely dead. Wednesday the 29th I called the dealership to report the issue and they asked for a reason to why the vehicle wouldn't start. I couldn't give then a reason so they asked me to get the truck towed. I got contacted by the service department at the dealership to get more information from me but I haven't heard back from them. Its been over a week and I still haven't heard from the dealership. The dealership is University Ford in Durham, phone number 919-999-2928. They said I needed a appointment but I couldn't have scheduled an appointment without knowing there was going to be an issue with the truck.

Issue: Gasoline engine shutdown unexpectedly while driving. The following identical events occurred once each on June 14 and June 15, 2021. In both instances I was driving northbound with the (adaptive) cruise control set at 72 miles per hour, with Driver Alert enabled, and with extreme west-to-east crosswinds in excess of 50 mph per highway warning signage. While driving I received several driver alert messages -?" assumed to be due to the high crosswinds -?" which I ignored as I was not drowsy. Then without warning the gas engine shutdown and would not re-engage (pressed the accelerator to the floorboard), requiring me to quickly move to the shoulder of the roadway before the vehicle came to a complete stop. I shutoff the ignition, waited for about 30 seconds, and then restarted the vehicle and continued driving without further incident each day despite the fact that the wind persisted and the Driver Alert messages continued. This happened once on two consecutive days and has not occurred since, making note of the fact that I have not driven in severe wind conditions since. Fortunately these two events occurred in sparsely populated areas of Wyoming and Montana with fewer vehicles on the roadway, had it happened on a more densely traveled highway the safety of myself and others could have been at risk.

Problem 1: As a hybrid engine, the engine shudders, shaking the whole vehicle, as i am travelling in a low speed, around 5 mph. I believe this is the cause of engine rpm switching to electric motors. This had occurred multiple times in 3 months of owning the vehicld. Problem 2: brake grab. There has been multiple instances that the brake engages in low speed. This happens when i am not stepping on a gas pedal, like about to park. The brake grab puts the vehicle in a jerk stop. This occurred multiple times in 3 months of owning the vehicle

On several occasions, most recently on February 13, 2023, my vehicle encountered a stop safely warning light and all power was lost. I could no longer accelerate and was forced to pull over onto the side of the highway. This has happened on four occasions when I was attempting to pass another vehicle. The most recent occurrence happened while passing an eighteen wheel truck on a two lane highway. The truck had to brake heavily behind me because I did not have any power to maintain speed as I moved in front of him. Once stopped, I have been able to shut off the key and the system resets and I am able to resume driving. A check engine light will come on but will disappear in 24 to 48 hours.
