POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
The cv joint axles are failing. No axles on a new car or truck should EVER fail under 100k miles. Ford maverick axles are failing at under 50k miles. And mine failed at 22k miles. And Ford will only replace 1 at a time. Not only is this a manufacturer defect that can cause accidents or injury but Ford needs to yet again be held accountable. No one pays good money for a factory faulty vehicle.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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].

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION, BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING
Both the Blind Spot and Cross Traffic warning systems work erratically or not at all. Even after software update and reset. Cross traffic will sense a small car then ignore the bus next? Same with Blind Spot very inconsistent or not functional! Dealer is less than helpful. Any trip to the dealer means leaving your vehicle with them all day so they can put off working on it until the last minute.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

SUSPENSION
First time i noticed an issue was [XXX] felt vibration and took to Freeport Ford, Freeport, IL 61030. They took for a test drive and noticed nothing. I returned to Freeport Ford on 01/30/25 for the same issue, violent shaking when accelerating worse on an incline..They told me it was tires and that the 2 fronts had to be replaced 4/32 tread at this point they placed the 2 good rear tires on the front which didn't change a thing, I ordered 2 new tires, and on 01/31/25 took to a Chevrolet dealer in Freeport (friend of mine), they diagnosed that i had 2 faulty CV axles, i let Freeport Ford know of this diagnosis. New tires were installed 02/04/25 on the rear, still didn't change a thing, i told them I had checked the Maverick Forums and found out several complaints about faulty CV axles prematurely failing, at this point they stated they have ordered me a new set of axles, and let me drive out of the dealership on those faulty axles..Now playing the waiting game to see if axles come in first or if a catastrophic axles failure occurs first. Definitely not happy with Ford at this point and believe this needs to be a recall at this time due to all the complaints. Thank you, [XXX] 02/04/25 4:35p.m. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

AIR BAGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
On 01 February 2025, my 2024 Ford Maverick XLT was involved in a front-end collision where two critical safety systems failed: 1.Airbag System Failure: The airbags did not deploy despite a significant front-end impact. This component is still available for inspection upon request. 2.Forward Collision Sensor Malfunction: The front collision sensor system failed to detect the obstacle and did not engage automatic braking, which contributed to the severity of the crash. This system is also available for inspection. Safety Risk: Due to these failures, my wife was hit in the chest by the force of the impact, and our dog was thrown inside the vehicle. My wife may have sustained internal injuries or bruising as a result. The failure of both the airbag system and collision avoidance system put our safety at serious risk. Problem Confirmation: The issue has not yet been confirmed by a dealer or service center because my insurance company (Progressive) is scheduled to inspect the vehicle on Monday. I will update this report if additional findings are confirmed. Inspection Status: The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer (Ford), but I have reported the issue to them for investigation. The vehicle will be inspected by insurance representatives to assess the damage and possible system malfunctions. No police report was filed at the time of the accident. Warning Signs Prior to Failure: There were no warning lamps or error messages prior to the failure. The vehicle was operating normally until the moment of the collision.
