The Dealer did not reveal the unresolved recall on this used vehicle during sales lot inspection. After I pointed out the recall listed on the CarFax report, the dealer did not address the concern nor mention if the recall had been resolved in order to make the used truck ready for resale. The Dealer did not explain how the recall may apply to this specific truck. This vehicle still has this recall active and unresolved at the Fritts Ford Dealership in Riverside, CA Auto Mall. Instead, pushed the Ford PremiumCare Extended Warranty which in the fine print does not include the engine, the battery, or recalls on any components. I have not purchased this vehicle and unlikely to do so at this time due to this serious and dangerous known risk to operating this 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid Truck.

While on [XXX} in Memphis, I lost power and many indicators came up on the dash. I was able to coast at 20mph to dealership. But this could've been way worse. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I think it's a software issue. As of today, I've had the problem three times since having my BCM and PCM reprogrammed. The truck will suddenly loose power and go into some kind of limp mode. The dash screen starts throwing notices in quick succession: low gear only, check advancetrac, hill assist not available, powertrain malfunction/reduced power, pre-collision assist not available, the light indicating what drive mode (reverse, park, drive, etc.) starts flashing and then switches itself from drive to park, and then the parking brake turns itself on.

Just had a recall completed related to software programming in the past 3 weeks. Since then this has occured twice. While driving at highway speeds the vehicle quickly lost/reduced power and slowed down to 20 mph and produced a message that stated " Powertrain malfunction/Reduced power, engine service soon, and precollision assistance not available". This caused me to almost be rear ended and get into an accident with other vehicles on the road. It likely would have resulted in an accident/injury if not for light traffic that day. Ford has stated they cannot reproduce the issue.

My Ford Maverick is one of MANY that has a problem with mold. Mold is growing under the dash in the front passenger footwell. This issue is caused by a water intrusion. There is likely a manufacturing issue with the right front of the truck, which allows water in. The truck has had a problem with fogging up quickly since I purchased it new from Ford. My family's safety is at risk because the mold has led each of us to feel sick after riding in the truck. The truck is going in tomorrow for warranty work. Ford MUST recall every single vehicle that is effected. This is a serious health risk. Plus, the defective seam could fail in an accident, leading to injuries or deaths.

Manufacturing defect on the cowl deflector seal causes water to leak into the cabin and pool up on the floor of the passenger side front seat. Significant amount of water. This will result in damage to the carpets, mold issues (health and safety concern) along with possible damage to the electronics that is passes through right under and behind the glove box. Also passes through the cabin air filter box. Many Maverick owners have reported this problem in various internet forums, and yet there has not been a recall. I had to pay the local dealer to reseal this area with silicone due to a faulty design. Ford would not cover the expense. The dealer wanted $900 to dry the carpet.

Drivers side front brake makes grinding noise, Ford dealer mechanic states I do not drive it enough. The brake noise is most apparent at low speed. Second problem. Using remote entry at night does not turn on interior lights, nor opening the door. But after using the truck and turning off the ignition the interior light is on.

The passenger side footwell is accumulating water. Windows are closed, no significant rainfall. Perhaps associated with the AC. Mold spores have formed on the carpet causing a health hazard. I am too worried to pull up the carpet to see what it is like underneath. After drying it several times, it continues to form puddles, again with no rain.

The Ford Maverick rear view camera is dangerously laggy - it will freeze several times during backing. It also washes out in bright sun. I consider this a dangerous feature that should be addressed.

Low speed grabby brakes. When I go to park my maverick hybrid at the last moment it stops you very suddenly under 5mph. And my back up camera has frozen up a few times now mening when I back up the camera does not keep movies but stays frozen in 1 spot.

Grabby brakes at low speed. Even after getting the suggested fix from Ford my vehicle still has the grabby breaks. There is also an issue where coming from a fast speed down to a lower speed the vehicle starts to vibrate violently until I either press the gas or press the break. Seems like the breaks are pulsing on and off very fast causing it to shake.

The truck battery connection is faulty causing it to loose complete power to the vehicle after driving and turning off it won-??t restart. No power means no hazards, complete blackout on the vehicle. This is reported on YouTube by so many other-??s experiencing the same issue. They replaced my battery which was not the issue, the next day I experienced the same dead vehicle issue. Ford also did not tow it, they wanted to charge 626.

Twice, within a one week period, my hybrid vehicle failed to start. In fact, the key fob failed to unlock vehicle. I changed the battery in one key fob and still wouldn't unlock the vehicle. I had to unlock vehicle manually with the key and vehicle still wouldn't start. Vehicle dash board and all interior lights not working. Both times service was called and vehicle started right up with a jump from a battery pack. No check engine light was displayed either time. I have checked the Ford Maverick owners website and a bad wiring harness appears to be a problem that many hybrid owners have reported that Ford replaced to resolve this problem. I am concerned that this defective wiring harness could be a fire hazard. Also now the vehicle is unreliable and could leave me stranded on the highway or die in heavy traffic or when trying to merge or exit the interstate near my home.

When I use my remote start option and just put my key in the ignition and start the truck it has a constant burning wire smell. If I come to the truck and turn it off after remote start and just restart it with the key I don't smell the burning wire. If I don't use the remote start option and just start my truck with the key I don't smell the burning wire smell.

I got back to my Ford Maverick Hybrid after work yesterday and it was completely dead. Nothing at all worked. I was able to jump start it with a friend and drove it straight to my local Ford dealership. They checked the batteries and they were good. I have been reading online Ford Maverick Hybrid forums about these 'dead Mavericks'. Most of the murmor is that there is something wrong with the harness connector or cable of it. But for what it is worth I do want to report my dead Maverick after only six months and 7k miles and zero issues up til now. I love this truck to death I hope they solve this issue.

Random shaking when I step on gas. Makes the whole truck shake but stops when I take my foot off gas and reapply. I took it to the dealership and they said they couldn-??t find anything wrong and there-??s no check engine light. It happens 2-3 times a month and only under light acceleration.
