UNKNOWN OR OTHER
This is possibly more information regarding the known back-up camera recall NHTSA 24V684. After backing out of a parking space 1/26/2025, the camera froze (not the first time) and this time a message appeared in the upper left corner that read: "Indexing Nexus". I have also had on other occasions times where the Infotainment system itself would freeze with no warning and when the back up camera was not in use. I suspect the recall addressing the camera issue is only part of this and that the system itself has issues not related to the camera. Pressing and holding the POWER and Fast Forward buttons forcing a system restart restored usability.

POWER TRAIN
The vehicle started to shake and in the span of 1 month started shaking violently. Only happens when accelerating. Upon googling it looks to be a axle, cv axle, or some axle joint issue.. called ford and they do not want to change it due to salvage.. consistent issue with tons of people having this problem. Would like them to acknowledge and change everyone who is having issue without being a problem..

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
Vehicle shakes and vibrates at speeds 55 to 65 or under rapid acceleration. Took it into Ford dealership and charged with a wheel alignment. Didn’t change the situation. Noticed on Facebook Maverick group about cv axles wearing. Told this was the issue. Ford does not have replacements and still waiting since October 2024 for repairs to be made. Still not repaired and not sure if what to do if I’m still driving the vehicle.

POWER TRAIN, STEERING
Front CV axles. Front end shakes really bad at 30-50 mph. Dealer changed front passenger side CV axle but it still shakes really bad. I'll be bringing it back to the dealership, but warranty expires soon they need to have a recall and a better replacement part for this fix. I am not the only one with this problem.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The entire electrical system failed in my truck while DRIVING IN A SNOWSTORM. New engine light saying “the PCM detected the power relay de-energized earlier than expected”. The most alarming thing is that this truck runs like there is nothing wrong with it. No warnings or alerts. Then all of a sudden it dies. Total loss of power in the vehicle. I’ve tried to have the dealership replace these issues but they have either canceled on me or have told me that the “part isn’t in”. Meanwhile, my truck is not safe to drive. I’ve read numerous reports of this same thing happening to other owners of this truck, with most of the consensus saying that the OEM factory wiring harness for the battery is bad.

SERVICE BRAKES
Brakes grab hard at 4 MPH. I've had to software updates from a Ford dealer. It helps for about 100 miles then comes back. Initially, the software was put in because the brakes were grabbing dangerously at a fast speed and I would often hear a loud bang. But the software got rid of that issue and now left me with the current brake issue at 4 MPH. It sometimes causes a "hard stop". I have recently brought it into two different Ford dealerships to be checked out. One said, "cannot duplicate the issue" and the other one said, "it seems find. It's typical for a Ford Maverick". I did my own research and there's plenty of others with the same issue. It can be dangerous in some situations.

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, STEERING
After performing a panic stop where the Pre-Collision activation message and chime activated, nothing happened until a few miles down the road. At that time, The "Service AdvanceTrac," "Pre-Collision Assist Not Available" and "Hill Start Assist" warning messages scrolled on the cluster with a chime to go with them. Additionally, the amber tell tale warning lights for the ABS system, electric park brake system, stability control system and pre-collision assist were illuminated. The lights turned themselves off one by one approximately five 5-6 miles after that, then all came back on with the same three warning messages about 2-3 miles after they had gone off. All remained illuminated even at the start of the next key cycle but promptly went away before leaving the parking lot. It should be noted that while the warning lights were on, the vehicle did not have electronic power steering assist though no warnings or lights told of this failure. I could just tell from the increased effort in low speed, parking lot maneuvers.
