POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
Engine Service warning appeared this morning and the vehicle immediately lost power to a maximum of 20 mph. The same thing happened approximately 2.5 months ago. A Ford dealership technician checked it out could not find an issue and cancelled the check engine light. Both times this occurred on a busy road and could have led to a potential collision with another vehicle.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The 12-volt accessory battery fails without warning resulting in a no-start situation. The failure to start has left my family stranded in dangerous weather and traffic conditions. The vehicle has been serviced repeatedly by a local Ford dealership who has confirmed that 12-volt battery issues. The 12-volt battery has been replaced twice, but this did not solve the battery drain issue. Warnings for powertrain malfunction and low state of battery charge showed up in the FordPass App starting in October 2023 and have continued for the past year without resolution.

POWER TRAIN
I was driving on the highway at 55 mph. When I pushed on the gas pedal, no acceleration would occur. There were not any warning lights or indicators for an issue. I had a total loss of power and had to coast to the side of the highway across several lanes to get to safety. The gas pedal would not function until I turned off the truck then turned it back on. The deal was not able to find any root cause for this issue, so I am driving with uncertainty whether it will happen again.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Just recently I've noticed that when the engine is running and I'm stopped or parked the truck will "lurch". Almost as if I'm trying to hit the gas while parked or holding the brakes. Since this has started, I've also noticed that from 25mph to 60/65mph there is a violent vibration ONLY under acceleration (20-25% on the power meter) while the engine is running. Issue worsens depending on the mode the truck is in (worse under sport, better under ECO/Slippery). Whole truck will shake, body, steering wheel and all. Not sure if these two issues are related? I'm not sure if these are considered to be powertrain or if it's the engine. Not sure if I could have it inspected upon request because I can't pin point any mechanical abnormalities visually. I feel my safety and others may be a concern because the unknown of the issue. I'm not sure if the vehicle is breaking down, will break down, lose power or whatever the case may be. The vehicle has been reported to Ford for these issues with no resolve. No warning lamps or messages. The issue appeared to come out of no where. Wasn't doing it one day, began doing it the next.

POWER TRAIN
The constant velocity axles are shot at 27k miles and the truck is stuck at the dealership for a month now until replacement CV axles become available. The issue started with a small vibration in the pedals while accelerating around 10 to 40 mph. The issue then progressed after about a week or two where everything shakes while accelerating. Especially while veering left. This is a known issue but Ford has not issued a recall. Some people are on their 3rd replacement by 50k miles.

Checked with dealership today and they have no ETA on parts from Ford.

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
severe vibration when accelerating and/or going up a hill. As of now my safety has not been at risk, unless you count being scared out of my mind (just turned 76). How do I know it will not fail trying to avoid crazy/careless drivers! The cv axel has been back ordered since Oct 3th 2024. I don't understand why it could take so long for a new part to come in. This has been going on for at least 4 months, I thought it had something to do with tires which I got 4 new tires and the problem continued.

POWER TRAIN
My CV axle on my front right failed prematurely and they have replaced under warranty, but I have come to find out that a lot of people in the 2022 Mavericks in 2023 Mavericks are having CV axle issues. They are getting them replaced between 20 and 40,000 miles. This seems like a severe issue and I’ve heard rumor that they are changing the design of the CV axle to prevent this in the future so I would think there should be a recall to force them to put the new designed CV axles in the 22 and 23 Mavericks to prevent this problem.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The last time I vehicle was sitting at the Ford dealership for more than two weeks. I ended up with a low battery warning in their Ford app after taking it back in with less than 36,000 miles they replaced the battery. It has been a year since then and the same issue has happened now that has been at Ford for over three weeks to fix the CV axle. Battery failure can leave. You stranded in remote locations with no way to start your vehicle which should be a safety concern. The other safety concern could be the reason that the electrical drains the battery could cause problems with the high-voltage battery causing fire. While researching the issue, I have discovered that this is a common problem with the 22 through 24 Mavericks and obviously the issue is not the battery the issue is the electrical system draining the battery.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle, the power train warning light illuminated.

The contact stated that the automatic emergency braking system had engaged while there was no vehicle nearby.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and the dealer retrieved DTC code: P092977. The dealer determined that the GSM needed to be replaced due to a communication failure between the PCM and the Gear Shift Module (GSM). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

POWER TRAIN
Started to experience heavy shaking and vibrations while accelerating. Vehicle only had 20,000 miles on it at that point. Reduced speed to maintain control of vehicle. Took to dealer and was told that it was a failed CV axle which had failed and needed replaced. Mechanic informed us that the Maverick was produced with faulty cv axles and this was a common problem and vehicle was unsafe to drive until replaced. Mechanic advised us that the other axle would likely fail as well and as no change had been made to the design the replacement axles will likely continue to fail unless ford provides a real fix.
