POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
While towing my boat down the interstate my truck lost all power from the engine and the dash began flashing with all sorts of errors. There was zero warning of this. Thankfully, I was safely able to get to the side of the interstate thankfully but I was basically dead in the water. The truck would sort of drive on its own, no input from me at all, it would just start moving if I let off the brakes and get up to about 35mph. The dash had the check engine light on, ABS light, and the transmission light on. The following messages came up on the screen; service engine, service advancetrac, hill start assist disabled, and the pre-collision assist was disabled. Thankfully no one was injured but it was incredibly dangerous that the vehicle lost all power in 70+ mph traffic, especially while towing a boat.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
The vehicle at a full stop such as a red light, will try to surge forward. It feels like someone is nudging you on the shoulder to get moving over and over. As if the vehicle is eager for the light to turn green.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Engine completely fails while driving at highway speeds. Press on accelerator and no power. However Electronics, dash etc, are still on. It has happened 6 times in 2 weeks. Maverick has 26K miles. Each time I have had to coast to a safe shoulder or exit without any ability to accelerate. No warning lights, messages or other symptoms prior to occurrence. I have had it happen in "Normal" mode while using cruise control and lane assist. I have had it happen in "Normal" mode without using lane assist or cruise control. When it does happen, warning light says pull to safety, and check engine light remains on. I Am able to brake, place car in park, turn off car, restart, check engine light remains on and then am able to drive briefly again. It then happens again. Originally happened on Feb 14, 2024, then again on Feb 22, 2024, and then 4 times on February 25, 2024. Have taken back to dealer each time. Dealer cannot find anything associated with Code readings. Dealer is unable to duplicate. Ford has been unresponsive in providing any service bulletin. I am not the only Maverick Hybrid vehicle experiencing this. An outstanding engine failure and engine fire recall remains without resolution from Ford. I have given them permission to drive vehicle 100 miles, as that is when it first occurs. My vehicle is not safe to drive. My daughter and I were almost killed on high speed highway when the engine failed and 18 wheeler barreling down behind us. Ford has offered no solution or steps to compensate for this danger.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My Ford Maverick is one of MANY that has a problem with mold. Mold is growing under the dash in the front passenger footwell. This issue is caused by a water intrusion. There is likely a manufacturing issue with the right front of the truck, which allows water in. The truck has had a problem with fogging up quickly since I purchased it new from Ford. My family's safety is at risk because the mold has led each of us to feel sick after riding in the truck. The truck is going in tomorrow for warranty work. Ford MUST recall every single vehicle that is effected. This is a serious health risk. Plus, the defective seam could fail in an accident, leading to injuries or deaths.

STRUCTURE:BODY
My truck started collecting water in the front passenger side floor. Took it to the dealer and they couldn’t find the leak at first. Then they claim it was coming from the window seal on the back passenger window. I refused to have it repaired for 950$. 600 dollars in now with leaky rear window. This has already started a mold issue under the carpet. This needs to be addressed by the manufacturer.

SEAT BELTS, SEATS
What component or system failed or malfunctioned? It’s not exactly failed or malfunctioned as much as it is just a flawed design. However, the problem is that the drivers seatbelt keeps getting wrapped up in the lever to recline the seat. This results in the handle getting pulled off of the seat constantly, the seat unexpectedly reclining when the driver pulls on the seatbelt too hard, or the seatbelt simply getting bunched up in the handle causing it to just become stuck and non functional. Is it available for inspection upon request? It is available for inspection anytime. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? When the drivers seat suddenly reclines or the seatbelt fails to engage due to being caught up in another component of the vehicle that’s a problem. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No although I can duplicate that issue. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Manufacturing defect on the cowl deflector seal causes water to leak into the cabin and pool up on the floor of the passenger side front seat. Significant amount of water. This will result in damage to the carpets, mold issues (health and safety concern) along with possible damage to the electronics that is passes through right under and behind the glove box. Also passes through the cabin air filter box. Many Maverick owners have reported this problem in various internet forums, and yet there has not been a recall. I had to pay the local dealer to reseal this area with silicone due to a faulty design. Ford would not cover the expense. The dealer wanted $900 to dry the carpet.

CV Joins or front axles failed after 10k miles. The car shakes under acceleration always between 50mph and 60mph and also when you try to overtake other cars. It can shake pretty horribly depending on how hard you press the gas pedal. The problem was reproduced by the dealer but they don't have the parts to fix it. No warning lights.
