TIRES
I ordered my truck with all terain tires, they installed Falken wildpeak A/T AT3W 235 65R 17 tires.When me vehicle sits for a while (especially when its cold out) .I get a vibration for the first few miles down the road then it goes away. I have taken it to the dealer they are blameing the issue on the Falken tires,they said these tires develop a flat spot after sitting for a while. So they didnt think it was going to hurt my vehicle so they where not going to replace them.Seeing how I paid extra for all terrain tires and they installed these tires I don't think that was the correct action on there part.

SERVICE BRAKES
The rear brakes and rotors have prematurely worn out at only 28k miles, while the front brakes are like new. There is no way for me or any local repair shop to put it into brake service mode. The official Ford procedure does not work. NHTSA issued SSM 51217 acknowledging the issue, but the only solution is only to take it to a Ford dealer to do a simple procedure such as changing rear brake pads. This solution is unacceptable and causes an undue burden upon the customer in time and money for a known manufacturing defect. My closest dealer is 1 hour away. It can not pass my state safety inspection without this being done. Ford should be issuing a recall to address this defect, not simply driving people to the dealer network for basic safety maintenance.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Vehicle has had a Powertrain failure three times in a month. This causes the vehicle to look up and lose power. Dealers can not figure it out and Ford has not provided any solutions. Been without vehicle for 6 weeks at this point. Malfunction causes all systems to fault and vehicle seizes up making it undriveable.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I was driving for about 10 minutes at speed 35 mph then noticed the car is in electric mode but unable to accelerate. It feels nothing happened when I depressed the gas pedal. The car came to a complete stop at traffic light but failed to accelerate when I pressed on the gas pedal. I turned off the car and started it back up and everything return to normal.

I have a 22 hybrid maverick with ~ 27,000. I was driving back home from out of town and I had already driven for a good two and a half hours. I was passing an 18 wheeler when suddenly my whole truck turned off. The dash, infotainment screen all black. I tried to turn on the hazards but nothing came on. The steering wheel was stiff and I was pressing the brakes as hard as I could but we were barely slowing down. I coasted across the right lane and into the shoulder/grass and finally came to a stop. I turned the truck off and on and a whole bunch of warnings and lights popped up. I turned it off again and when I turned it back on it was like everything was back to normal. I drove the rest of the way home ~ 50 mph. The truck felt awkward when switching from gas to electric and shook a bit when coming to stops. I will be calling the service dept tomorrow.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My 2022 Ford Maverick has a persistent issue with moisture accumulating on the front passenger floorboard, leading to a mildew smell that requires constant deodorizing. This problem has been ongoing since I discovered it around 18,000 miles. Despite taking the vehicle in three times, the issue remains unresolved. The technicians suspected a valve issue on the condenser, allowing moisture in, but couldn't provide a remedy. They mentioned a similar problem with the 2018 F-150, which was eventually resolved through a warranty/recall. I have found multiple online posts describing the same issue. I believe this is a pre-existing issue with all 2022 models. The floorboard gets wet after running the AC for a few hours in warm to hot weather. P.S. Ford conducted a pressure test and said it passed. No resolution for over a year.

My Maverick had water filled in the floor from heavy rain during transport. I waited 2 additional weeks to take delivery. Once I took delivery I was driving around with mold in the carpets on my vehicle for nearly 4 months. Then we had heavy rains again and the same problem resurfaced. I took my car for repair and they kept it for three weeks and returned it repaired. Over the past week-end the carpets are soaked once again with a bad mildew smell and possibly mold. At this point Ford must take some responsibility with this

When I shifted to reverse to leave a parking space, a message popped up on the cluster saying “Camera Not Available. Contact Dealer.” An image then did come up and stayed frozen on the screen for the entire key cycle. The next time I drove the vehicle, the camera operated as intended. Picture attached showing frozen image while vehicle was in Drive gear.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STRUCTURE:BODY
In October 2023, we took our 2022 Ford Maverick to a local Ford dealership for a front airbag recall. However, after we picked up our Maverick and we got home we noticed a deep scratch across the top of the dash and the tool from the technician in the console. We contacted the dealership about this scratch. Our Maverick was taken to the dealership in January 2024 for this repair. Upon the completion of installing the dash, the technician scratched the outside of the driver’s side front door causing yet another delay. The Maverick was then taken to their body shop (on premises) to repair the scratch and repaint the door. Within a week of having our Maverick back, we started smelling a very foul odor in the truck. This smell made my throat and nose burn and was nauseating while riding in the truck even with the windows down. We went back to the dealership to meet with the owner about this odor. They removed the seats, carpet, and dash to locate the problem. They discovered a place at the bottom of the windshield that had not been sealed from the manufacturing production department. They discovered black mold in the insulation behind the dash near the firewall and under the carpet. They have discussed this with Ford Motor Company on how to handle this problem. Currently our Maverick is still on the lot at the local dealership, since the first week of April 2024. We have reservations about the mold/mildew odor as a health/breathing issue to continue driving this vehicle. Ford Motor Company has been attempting to come to some agreement of handling this situation but not addressing the odor in the vehicle. After some online research of the 2022/23 Ford Mavericks this seems to be a bigger issue across the nation. There are not any recalls to correct this problem for water intrusion into the vehicle.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I’ve been noticing a frequent issue with my trailer not having the left blinker work per notification it gives. So I gave been checking the information screen for trailer lighting any time that I’m pulling a trailer just to make sure all of my lights are working. Today, the truck told me all lights were on and working with the trailer. Meanwhile, after getting pulled over and explaining the info the truck is giving and then unplugging and replugging the trailer from the truck to prove that the lights do in fact work I was finally dismissed from the traffic stop. So the truck was telling me that all lights are on and working on the trailer… meanwhile there wasn’t a single light on!!! The issue with the left turn signal light not blinking on a trailer is relative to the truck as well since it only does it on the truck and with a multitude of different trailers/magnetic trailer lights.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The contact stated that the message “Engine Power Reduced” was displayed. Additionally, the contact stated that the “BRAKE” warning light illuminated; however, due to the failure the computer system generated the failure code in error. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed as a fractured well in the braking system. The contact was informed that the braking system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed that the parts needed to be ordered to perform the repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000. The VIN was unavailable.

In early April 2023 I opened my driver’s side door and the inside of my 2022 Ford Maverick was wet from the headliner down to the carpets. There WAS condensation throughout the interior of the vehicle even though the Repair Order stated there was none. The inside of the vehicle was damp. All windows were closed tightly. The headliner, back seat, front seat, carpets, and all the interior was damp. I had a book on my back seat that was damp and the pages were curled. There was MOLD underneath the floor mats. I contacted a MOLD specialist who stated that it is impossible to effectively rid a vehicle of MOLD. He stated that MOLD spores are in every crevice of the truck and it WILL return. On April 6, 2023 I took the truck to The Ford Store where I purchased it. There was 1294 miles on the odometer. They could not find the leak. My vehicle was there for several weeks and the interior was completely torn down from the headliner to the carpets. The Service Department finally said that they located the leak area and repaired it. The dealer guaranteed in writing that the MOLD was gone. On June 23, 2024 (today) I was getting ready to take the truck back to The Ford Store for tomorrow’s appointment. They will be addressing the three recalls. I just noticed MOLD under the mats again. The MOLD is on the floor board and is crawling up the footwells under the rubber mats. There is also MOLD on some of the plastic material close to the floor boards. My health and the health of all passengers who have ridden in my vehicle for the last 14 months have been and continue to be at risk. I have been contacted by other Ford Maverick owners who have experienced the same issue. The Ford Maverick Truck Club has many posts about leaks and subsequent MOLD issues.

SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS
On Thursday (June 13, 2024) my truck displayed a fault that states Rear Belt Monitor Fault Service Required, at the same time my air bag light came on. I proceeded to work and found a lot of people have had this issue with their Ford Mavericks but have all said it is actually their drivers seatbelt with the issue. My husband thought he would test it to see and while driving he took his seatbelt off, the airbag light and fault went away but also even driving at highway speeds it never told us the seatbelt was off. When he plugged the seatbelt back in my truck indicated that seatbelt 3 was actually plugged in and the fault and airbag light came back on.

STEERING
while the car was in neutral tow mode, being towed behind a motorhome, the steering wheels went onto a 'death wobble'. This was after turning left onto an on ramp. Traveling 5mph. Stopped immediately. Started to slowly move forward and it appeared the problem has corrected. Towed fine after that. However, the vehicle has lost power steering. I have noticed from the forums that this has been happening more frequently.

On June 13th 2024 my Maverick suddenly lost power and all lights on dashboard lit up. Apparently this has been documented by others, and vehicle then went into LIMP MODE and was not responding to accelator pedal properly and would not move beyond 30mph. Engine light is still on, and my Ford App shows 3 messages: 1. SERVICE ENGINE SOON 2. POWERTRAIN SYSTEM FAILURE 3. COLLISION AVOIDANCE UNAVAILABLE

Lost engine power while driving. Only had electric power and could not accelerate to get out of the way of traffic. Able to use hazard lights and coast to safety. Turned off everything and turn on again, only to go a block and it did it again. Service engine alert came on.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I was driving on the freeway driving eastbound on 152 and I switch to the fast lane to pass a vehicle and the throttle stopped working, the truck lost speed and the truck turned off, a message popped on the screen saying that I needed to put it in park. I put it in park put the hazards on and attempt to restart it and it would crank but wouldn’t start. I did this until the allowed amount of times reached its limit. I attempted to put the gear in neutral but the knob was stuck. The truck was at a slight angle as I was going uphill and couldn’t get it to move. I find the release lever to make it neutral and it didn’t work but now that lever got stuck all this is going on while the traffic is at is heaviest. The truck stalled until 2 hrs later when a tow truck came to pick it up. I got dropped off at a safe location and the truck turned on and would shift into gear but it sounded bad. Info screen says something about not being able to park and the key is stuck on the truck still.
