Since October 2024, at approximately 6,000 miles, began receiving this warning message in the ford pass app: -??Remote features disabled to preserve battery Your 2024 Maverick equipped with FordPass(TM) Connect has entered Deep Sleep mode to conserve battery energy. Remote features including start/stop and lock/unlock may be temporarily unavailable because your battery charge level is low. You can easily fix this yourself by going for a longer ride. Make sure to keep your air conditioning and accessories off during this drive to recharge your battery faster. If your vehicle doesn't start: - Jump start it then take it for a drive to recharge the battery - Contact your preferred dealer for further service if needed-?? In November the interior lights stopped working when the car door would be open with or without the truck on. No open door would register the lights to come on. I have done exactly what they say to do in the message but still, I am getting this same message and no interior lights. I plugged in a code reader into the truck to test the battery and it showed that it had an abnormal battery function. There is no recall for my truck for this issue, but there are for other vehicles. My truck needs to be included in this recall so I can have working interior lights, and a normal-functioning battery. This has been an on-going issue for roughly 4 months. The photo included over the interior light is showing you that the switch is in the proper position and the door is open but no lights. The second photo is showing the switch in the on position and no lights.

Concerning 2024 Ford Maverick hybrid pickup. Vehicle has had a sudden loss of power and loss of acceleration at highway speeds on four different dates between December 2024 and late January 2025. Took to local Ford dealer service [XXX] There were no vehicle health alerts or diagnostic trouble alerts. Service advisor searched manufacturer database found no information related to problem, and to call and bring vehicle in again if it reoccurred. Safety of passenger and self endangered due to sudden power and acceleration losses. On 3/4 incidents I was able to pull over to shoulder and engage emergency flashers. On two of these occasions vehicles close behind mine had to quickly engage their brakes to avoid collisions, and one following vehicle also had to make an emergency move to swerve away from my vehicle and avoid collision. On fourth episode there was a very near miss of collision - six following vehicles had to emergency brake to avoid a multi vehicle collision at highway speed. Problem could not be reproduced by dealer service center. The vehicle was inspected by dealer service tech on [XXX] as noted above. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of problem prior to the failures that I was aware of. However, since my focus was on quickly and safely reacting to get the vehicle off the road and avoiding collisions there may have been warnings or symptoms I was unaware of. The speedometer needle went down and the accelerator was completely unresponsive when I depressed the gas pedal. I called local dealer service again on [XXX] after reading several reports online of the same or very similar incidents that occurred in earlier model years of Ford Maverick and other models sharing same or similar platform or components. Dealer reset or updated PCM and BCM software. [XXX] -?? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

12 volt battery systems drains power while in the off position making the cab unsafe because no lighting is available when the truck goes into deep sleep mode (this is caused by the battery drain). This occurs frequently. Lighting the cab is a safety feature in my opinion.

This recall was put into effect in December, causing my vehicle to be taken off a rental program, causing a loss in income. 24V684 states that the vehicle camera will freeze, but to continue to drive the vehicle. This recall should not have been released until a remedy was available.

This is a hybrid vehicle and offers remote features to be able to lock/unlock and start the vehicle through an app. However there is apparently a "known issue" (dealer service department confirmed) with no known fix and an approximate resolution date of mid 2025. the issue is that the 12V battery (not hybrid) drains on its own and begins to fail when the vehicle is not running. They aren't sure of the cause but it could be related to the remote features and causes the battery to be always on or running. We wake up to error messages several times a week on our app that the remote features are unavailable, that the battery is drained, and that we may need to jumpstart the battery and drive it a long time. This has been a safety issue because we have been unable to access the car via app or key remote, needing the physical key, and on occasion have needed to jumpstart the vehicle. We have brought this vehicle to the dealer where they have replaced the battery at least once maybe twice, and the last time confirmed to us that there is not yet a recall but might turn into one because it is a known safety issue and the manufacturer has issued them specific codes and warnings and authorized them to replace and test battery more frequently than usual due to the issue and that a workaround will be announced from the manufacturers to the dealers sometime in 2025. But calling AAA to jumpstart your car just so you can drive it to the dealership when you need to go to work is not a safe way to start your day!

The main battery keeps going into battery saver mode and tells me to drive the vehicle to get it out of battery saver (i.e., charge the battery) even after I've driven the vehicle for over an hour. Some people have reported that the main batter goes into battery saver even when the vehicle is running! Also, the collision avoidance is a joke. I've had it come on ONCE when it was nearly unavoidable to hit the car in front of me. If I had already not been taking evasive action, there would have been a collision. The settings saying "warn me at max distance" don't seem to have any effect on this. Not a helpful feature and downright dangerous if one were to depend on it.

12 volt battery not keeping a charge. Twice vehicle had to be jumped recently. The App reports Battery Saver mode 95% when parked. Dome lights don't work 80% of the time. Remote key fob won't open doors 10% of the time. Have to use key to unlock vehicle Taken to the dealer on 11/1. It stated, "Engineering is currently working on a fix for an intermittent battery draw. Disconnected and tested per SSM 53087. Battery passed. No repairs at this time". The problem has become worse as if battery won't hold a charge. Had to jump vehicle recently. Approximately 1 minutes after turning off the ignition, radio and driver display both say, System shutting down to save battery. I have scheduled a second appointment for 1/31 to see if battery is failing.

My 24 Ford Maverick Hybrid goes into deep sleep so it will not start after sitting for a few days, i have to run a battery tender or battery goes below a certain voltage number and it then goes into deep sleep.Been to dealer twice for same problem they charge the battery and they say it past's Ford's test but you don't drive a few days and goes back into sleep mode unable to start or drive vehicle. I do not drive vehicle everyday but you can not rely on it to work if sitting for a few days to a week.My sales person said Ford is suppose to have a fix first quarter of 2025 but not sure this will happen i hope like hell it does.Been trying to get Ford to replace the battery under warranty so far no luck, but they still need to fix the charging system or get a fix to maintain battery s it does not go dead and leave owner's stranded.

I have a 2024 Ford Maverick Lariat Hybrid with only 1880 miles on it and every 3 days the battery drains from 99% down to 39%. I keep getting the Deep Sleep messages and the dealer refuses to replace the battery. I even got a message saying to drive the vehicle on a day when the vehicle was at the dealer and had been started and driven 6xs that day. Ford released a communications to Service depts but not a fix. Their solution is for the consumer to take their truck to the dealer every 3 days instead of replacing a bad battery. I took truck to dealer 12/31/24, 1/2/25, 1/6/25, and called 1/9/25. First time tech said battery test at 99% then on [XXX] when it was at 39% and he saw the "Drive the vehicle" messages, he started to believe me. Ford needs to fix this because after the 4th time taking it to the dealer and not getting it fixed, it will qualify as a Lemon in TX under the Lemon Law INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My 2024 Ford Maverick manufactured 9/24 has failed to unlock on two separate occasions with key fob and the interior lights failed to come on when I unlocked the driver door with the mechanical metal key. When I checked the charge status of my battery it was depleted below 75%. I also noticed that the battery was a flooded acid type and is installed under the rear seat within the passenger compartment. The placement of a flooded acid type of battery in the passenger compartment poses a significant danger and risk of acid exposure in the event of a collision.

VEHICLE KEEPS GOING INTO " DEEP SLEEP" MODE. Can ot start and can not get into the vehicle. Requires a jump start and you are left stranded anywhere. Ford told me they are aware of this issue in the hybrid but their engineering department has NO solution. You can be left stranded in unsafe or dangerours places. I bought the vehicle in march 2024, new, so that at 74 years old Iv would have a reliable and safe vehicle.

The contact owns a 2024 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that while the vehicle was turned off and the doors were opened, the interior lights failed to illuminate. On another occasion, while the vehicle was parked for approximately four days, the doors were closed while in Sleep Mode, and none of the exterior lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the battery was not holding a charge, and the battery was replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred approximately a week later. The vehicle was taken to another dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that a software update needed to be performed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,475.

Unknown, My 2024 Ford Maverick has now twice got stuck in reverse (shifter indicates it is in reverse) though the dash shows park and I was unable to start the truck after removing my key and waiting a few moments it would act normal and let me start my truck. The last time it happened I was in the dealer lot and told my sales representative but we couldn-??t replicate the problem he said next time it happens to record it and see if it becomes a trend that it would be covered under warranty but until it is replicable they could not do anything I don-??t know when or why it happens. I just wanted to report it because I-??m not sure if it-??s only happening to me or if it is effecting others as well.

lost acceleration function on freeway, no error code or warning sound. I didn't lose power just wasn't able to accelerate had to pull over and restart engine for the problem to go away.

- San Gabriel, CA, USA

It happened twice in 3 days. The first time I lost electrical power, the battery died. I use a trickle charger to recharge it for 4 hours, then it functioned as normal for one day, I went to the dealer for service and they looked at it and said there was nothing wrong and sent me home. On the third day, it died again. All electrical power was lost, the car was locked up, and could not be shifted to neutral for towing. It is now sitting at my driveway waiting for Ford roadside service to tow it to a dealer for diagnostic and services.

Upon exiting my garage I always stop to close the door. My driveway has incline. I begin to roll back, hit the breaks several times with no engagement, begin pumping the brake pedal several times, no response. Continued to roll in reverse going across the street and hit neighbor's park car in their driveway. Police Officer noted that brake pedal was very low upon applying brakes and a hiss sound of like a vacuum or pressure lost. Reported a claim to insurance company. I never observed any indication of faults. Had truck toed to Greiner Ford to be inspected and or repaired. They said they could not find anything wrong with brake system or electronics. Since the incident I have reviewed by Ring camera video of that day and noticed that the DRL lights were flashing like a turn signal light which are not supposed to do. Truck is presently at Greiner Ford Collision Center for repair of damage to drive side rearend. I will have Greiner reinspect once collision damage is repaired and advise them of the flashing DRL's Other problems encountered prior to this incident: 1. Several times with adaptative cruise on and lane departure on there has been several notifications of cancelations were noted. 2. Several times horn has sounded when opening door with truck turned off. 3. Pre collision notification without anything in front of truck. I will also note that after receipt of new vehicle, approximately 1 to 2 months the truck was updated with new software.

The vehicle goes into what they call a sleep mode. It shuts systems down to save the battery. At this point, it-??s more of a nuisance than a major problem. Fortunately, every time I got in the vehicle, it started and was fine but what happens is it shuts down all the remote functions, you can-??t use your app on the phone go to get in the car at night the interior lights aren-??t working. It-??s pitch black, just a inconvenience but Ford has no answer that answer was to shut down all the remote functions on the car to me that doesn-??t make sense. Why have those features if you can-??t use them?

2024 Ford Maverick turned off and gave me a message across dash that said stop safely now. In pulling onto the shoulder was almost hit by traffic from behind. Vehicle would not restart and had to be towed. It took 2.5 weeks to get it repaired. They replaced the high voltage power inverter, one time use bolts, and the high voltage fuse.
