SERVICE BRAKES
Rolling up to a stop applying gradually increasing pressure to the brake pedal, instead of slowly coming to a halt, vehicle does not react to your braking input until you apply double the pressure at which point a loud clunk from the front wheels occur (which you can feel through the steering wheel) and your wheels lock up.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I am concerned about the ability of the windshield to protect drivers from road hazards. It appears that almost every stone that is propelled by other vehicles cause a star chip on the windshield and then proceeds to crack. I am afraid this will weaken the windshield and a larger projectile may not be stopped. I was informed that this vehicle has a special windshield to reduce noise. With cost cost of recalibrating the safety systems, no one can afford to replace the windshield evert 10000 miles.

SERVICE BRAKES
Mavericks with Integrated Trailer Brake Controllers are not sending any voltage to the trailer brakes when the brake pedal is pressed. Customers are at risk of not having the anticipated additional braking ability of their trailers and will be putting the entire braking load on the truck alone. A Ford dealership had my vehicle for 2 weeks with no repairs done or guidance on when it would be repaired.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
The backup camera has been freezing off and on since buying the truck. When backing up, the camera will lag and then jump to the current picture the camera is showing. Earlier today, while backing up towards my trailer, the camera lagged causing me to run into the trailer. There was no damage to the truck or trailer, but is a safety issue if anyone crosses behind you while in reverse.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Driving down road at 45 mph as usual. Car suddenly shudders and as I pull to a stop car is stuck in neutral. Will not receive gas. Suddenly lurches into first gear, almost making me hit who is in front of me. I pull into center lane and the car is frozen and won't move. I restart the car and it stays stuck in first gear revving high. I limp it home given I'm a few minutes away. Could have caused a serious incident.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Some 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrids have a faulty seal and leak oil onto transmission and clutch. I was accelerating on the HWY when engine light came on (solid). Noticed it needed more time and effort to accelerate. When parked and ran idle vehicle would suddenly jump- the rpm would shoot up sporadically for several minutes. There were no prior symbols or symptoms to this issue, and the vehicle is new. It happened exactly at 128 miles. Issue was apparent less than 12hrs of ownership. Took it to the Ford dealership which I purchased the vehicle from on Monday, I took possession Friday. The service advisor diagnosed it with transmission clutch slippage (P0811) and that the dampener (clutch?) would need to be replaced. Still waiting on them to email me the exact part number. Allegedly, a seal was loose which allowed oil to contaminate the transmission, causing slippage. This could prevent bodily harm, vehicle accident, and death. Pulling out into a busy road or merging with traffic requires a maintained speed or anticipated acceleration - this issue could prevent a driver from reaching this and result in a miscalculation or collision. I, myself, almost experienced an accident when merging off the HWY and the 2022 Ford Maverick would not accelerate. The engine light turned off after 2 hours of gentle driving in which a slippage did not occur after it was allowed to run hot long enough for the oil to burn. This gentle driving carried me through the weekend until I could drop it off Monday. It was easily recreated twice in the shop. Oil could be smelled and observed burning when the hood was propped open. These issues have been verified by the dealerships mechanics and general manager. Ford customer service acknowledged other Hybrid owners are experiencing the same issue when I contacted about parts, and this is a common defect amongst other Hybrid owners. Some required a new transmission when dampener/clutch did not solve the issue.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
My wife was t-boned in the passenger door. No airbags deployed nor did the seat belts lock up. I got a notification saying "the restraints control module has indicated the occupant classification system is present but not configured." The side curtain airbags did not deploy causing my wife and my 9 year old son to hit their heads on their windows.

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES
Engine surging while idling. The catalytic converter will get red hot. Also a rattling noise that sounds like rocks near the driver side wheel well in side the engine bay. When using the auto brake system at a stop light when cold you can feel the engine surge and feels like the brake is going to let loose.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
Since the date of purchase (10/29/21) I am unable to change/set FM stations. Apps (ie: iHeart, Spotify) and voice command work intermittently. Apps will not work unless phone is plugged in. 911 assist will not work if not paired and connected to a Bluetooth enabled and compatible cell phone (see pg. 59 2022 Maverick owner’s manual). Unsure if lane keeping assistance is working properly. Vehicle was brought to Sam Galloway Ford on 10/30/21. Per Sam Galloway Ford: “Ford is aware of these problems. It is a ‘hardware’ issue.”

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
When using remote start (cold mornings here) the truck will run for 15 minutes. Both inside and outside the vehicle I smell what seems like plastic burning. The last time it happened I looked under the hood while it was dark out and what appears to be a catalytic converter on the back side of the motor was glowing red hot. There are high voltage lines that run within inches of this (among other things) and I am concerned there is a fire risk.
