There has been a recall on this vehicle (2024 Ford Maverick) since September 2024 with no available fix. The problem is with the backup camera freezing. The 2025 Maverick seems to not have the problem, so it appears to have been addressed with the new models. Why is this recall repair taking so long?

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)

This vehicle was sold to me on [XXX]. It is in my possession. I am now learning that they are on a stop sale. The dealer did not communicate the fact they were not to sell it to me, it was through their lack of follow through on providing Ford points, and not following through with the ext warranty contract for parts written in on it for a dealer purchased and installed front lift / leveling kit that I discovered it was not to be sold, because of the recall 24V-684, and stop sale because of that. Per Ford points when I called their corporate office the truck is not listed as sold, which was confirmed by Ford corporate when I called to talk to them about the issue since I was not getting a response from them. The sales mngr did call me right as I was getting off the phone with them and did talk to me about the issues was going to look into them and call me back per our discussion on [XXX]. Edgar in financing did call me to tell me that the words Lift kit -??were put on the extended warranty paperwork so that when I purchased and installed the lift/leveling kit it would be covered under warranty-??. That was not our discussion and it was discussed they would buy and install the front lift / leveling kit. Upon completion of paperwork I said let me know when the parts come in so we can schedule the installation. I have no means of doing a alignment, and would not want to risk messing up my first new vehicle by doing that myself, new vehicles are way to complicated for me to work on. After going back and forth with Edgar about what was or wasn-??t to be included in the financing, he said Bo could have the extended warranty canceled and prorated price refunded. The mileage on the truck that day was 2483.1. After sending a picture of the mileage, I did DecPictures included are of the truck at my house after I waxed it, along with the vin and mileage of it the day I spoke with Edgar and let him know to cancel the ext wrnty on [XXX].

Driving my Tremor off road and got a flat tire. Discovered the OE jack does not lift vehicle high enough off the ground to allow removal of tire in case of a flat. I believe it is due to fact that vehicle comes with a 1inch lift and tremor specific tires. I don-??t think engineers thought about the jack when they added tremor package to the Maverick line.

A Blue Ox baseplate Part #2690 broke at the weld joint. This is due to the attachment points being to far apart. The industry standard is 24-28-??. The blue ox is 41-??. This causes undo stress on the weld especially during heavy braking.

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!

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.

My Ford Maverick truck was purchased and delivered on [XXX]. From the very first day, I have experienced issues with the central infotainment screen. Specifically, the screen frequently freezes, particularly when using Google Maps. My vehicle is an essential tool for my daily work, as I am an air conditioning technician and spend long hours driving. Additionally, I have noticed a significant delay in the rearview camera display, which also frequently freezes. This poses a considerable risk to pedestrians and vehicles that may pass behind my truck, turning it into a serious safety and convenience issue. I have taken my vehicle to the dealership three times, leaving it for several days on each occasion, but the problems persist after every visit. I purchased my truck from "Planet Ford Spring" in Spring, TX, but due to its proximity to my residence, I have carried out maintenance and filed complaints regarding this issue at "Tomball Ford" in Tomball, TX. I have repeatedly requested that the service advisors involved in my case replace the screen or upgrade it to a more reliable system. However, they claim that, according to Ford-??s procedures, they are not authorized to make such changes. I urgently request a definitive solution to this issue, as I cannot continue visiting the dealership month after month hoping for a resolution. This problem must be addressed immediately for safety reasons. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

In reducing the truck's speed, there is a sharp-pitched, loud, one-click sound, when I turn the steering to the right hand side. (This sound seems to come from the driver's left side, between the front door and the rear door.) It happens very often, but not every time.

There is a no sale recall on the back up camera due to freezing but we were sold the vehicle by Freeway Ford in Bloomington, MN. Due to the backup camera freezing there is inability to see directly behind the vehicle only through side mirrors and rear view mirror. The problem was confirmed by the manufacturer and the dealer via phone after selling the vehicle. The specific vehicle has not been inspected but is on a stop sale recall list. No warning or anything.

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.

Rearview camera lags and occasionally freezes image during reversing. Lagging and freezing gives a false sense of vehicle position. There has been one occasion where the image froze and stayed frozen even after putting vehicle in "D" and traveling up to 30mph+. Vehicle is not part of latest recall for frozen rearview camera issue.

Backup camera can freeze or jump frames, particularly if you use shortly after starting the car. This makes it hard to trust the camera view.

While driving my hybrid Maverick on the interstate at approximately 75 mph, I accelerated to overtake another vehicle going up a slight hill (very slight). When it hit around 80mph, the power meter hit 100% and there was a momentary complete loss of power (peddle felt dead under foot) and vehicle started to decelerate. I let off the pedal and reapplied gently staying well below 50% power. The truck seemed to have less power for the remainder of the interstate drive but returned to normal after shutting off, restarting and driving again. A very dangerous situation on the interstate when you press the accelerator and change lanes to overtake someone only to start slowing down immediately. Have not visited dealership, vehicle has not been inspected by any third party, and no lamps messages or warnings on the dash or in the app.

At certain times, the touch screen will freeze, specifically, it had frozen on the navigation, which also didn't allow the back up camera to work/be displayed. The screen also got bery hot to the touch. This was about a 90? day. This has happened on several occasions. I have seen an almost exact problem on the maverick forum here. [XXX] And was compelled to also make a report to the nhtsa. I have a scheduled service appointment this coming Monday, August 12. So we will see how that goes.

Vehicle was on clear two lane road, no vehicles in sight to front, nor opposing lane, or even in Rear view. Speed between 45 and 50 mph. Vehicle was headed approximately south, and the road was shaded by trees to the west. Miles on odometer 1961.8. Red warning appeared on dash, indicating to prepare for collision. We note that this is not the first time in the young life of this vehicle this warning has appeared, but that another time there was another vehicle, in its own lane, and slowing to the passenger side front, but not in any way moving into our lane. Then, later the same afternoon, about 18 miles later, and orange colored CANCEL appeared 2 times at about 66mph. There were about 1980 miles on the odometer, and in adaptive cruise control. I'm concerned that this "safety feature" has more possible error modes than Ford lists in its owner's operating manual, and that the faulty messages are a distraction, and possibly dangerous. As to the subject, "dangerous, " we had previously submitted to NHTSA the occurrance of a dangerous automatic braking event when there was no need for braking, and we were in an express lane on Highway 680 with cars immediately behind. NHTSA has acknowledged receipt of that information. I had not noted on that there was no sudden change in roadway illumination (daytime) or orientation of the vehicle to the sun when that occurred. Monday of this same week I had just retrieved my vehicle from the dealer, whose technician had run what diagnostics they had available on events (apparently none recorded) and attempts to test for any malfunction of adaptive driver assist mode. Are we the only party experiencing random errors in the adaptive driving assist?
