ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
On [XXX] brought Maverick 24 2.0L gas AWD on Electronic Control Unit ( ECU) to Ford Dealer#3 PJ Ford. Was advised Hybrid trucks have ECU on inside bulkhead rear cab wall behind flip down seat. However on later 2.0 L options gas are mounted behind driver side front bumper near and behind front driver side plastic/ fabric wheel well parallel to shot axel ( CVJ) approximately 12 high from ground. Upon first truck was engine started to stall due to water spay entering uncovered rear of plastic axel. Having other Broncos and Range Rover Sport filed complaint with FMC today after requesting to have ECU relocated to where Hybrid are mounted : PJ FORD service mgr. refused and FMC stated bring to another Ford dealer Bayville Ford 14 miles to south on Thursday 4/10/25 for second warrantee claim. I am afraid that in heavy rain with road flooding over 12" the engine will die and cause a rear end collision. I have waited 90 days on recall 24S59 real view camera freezing now have to get out to measure one foot of road water or waves from other trucks assembled properly.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
This vehicle was sold to me on [XXX]. It is in my possession. I am now learning that they are on a stop sale. The dealer did not communicate the fact they were not to sell it to me, it was through their lack of follow through on providing Ford points, and not following through with the ext warranty contract for parts written in on it for a dealer purchased and installed front lift / leveling kit that I discovered it was not to be sold, because of the recall 24V-684, and stop sale because of that. Per Ford points when I called their corporate office the truck is not listed as sold, which was confirmed by Ford corporate when I called to talk to them about the issue since I was not getting a response from them. The sales mngr did call me right as I was getting off the phone with them and did talk to me about the issues was going to look into them and call me back per our discussion on [XXX]. Edgar in financing did call me to tell me that the words Lift kit “were put on the extended warranty paperwork so that when I purchased and installed the lift/leveling kit it would be covered under warranty”. That was not our discussion and it was discussed they would buy and install the front lift / leveling kit. Upon completion of paperwork I said let me know when the parts come in so we can schedule the installation. I have no means of doing a alignment, and would not want to risk messing up my first new vehicle by doing that myself, new vehicles are way to complicated for me to work on. After going back and forth with Edgar about what was or wasn’t to be included in the financing, he said Bo could have the extended warranty canceled and prorated price refunded. The mileage on the truck that day was 2483.1. After sending a picture of the mileage, I did DecPictures included are of the truck at my house after I waxed it, along with the vin and mileage of it the day I spoke with Edgar and let him know to cancel the ext wrnty on [XXX].

Driving my Tremor off road and got a flat tire. Discovered the OE jack does not lift vehicle high enough off the ground to allow removal of tire in case of a flat. I believe it is due to fact that vehicle comes with a 1inch lift and tremor specific tires. I don’t think engineers thought about the jack when they added tremor package to the Maverick line.

AIR BAGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
On 01 February 2025, my 2024 Ford Maverick XLT was involved in a front-end collision where two critical safety systems failed: 1.Airbag System Failure: The airbags did not deploy despite a significant front-end impact. This component is still available for inspection upon request. 2.Forward Collision Sensor Malfunction: The front collision sensor system failed to detect the obstacle and did not engage automatic braking, which contributed to the severity of the crash. This system is also available for inspection. Safety Risk: Due to these failures, my wife was hit in the chest by the force of the impact, and our dog was thrown inside the vehicle. My wife may have sustained internal injuries or bruising as a result. The failure of both the airbag system and collision avoidance system put our safety at serious risk. Problem Confirmation: The issue has not yet been confirmed by a dealer or service center because my insurance company (Progressive) is scheduled to inspect the vehicle on Monday. I will update this report if additional findings are confirmed. Inspection Status: The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer (Ford), but I have reported the issue to them for investigation. The vehicle will be inspected by insurance representatives to assess the damage and possible system malfunctions. No police report was filed at the time of the accident. Warning Signs Prior to Failure: There were no warning lamps or error messages prior to the failure. The vehicle was operating normally until the moment of the collision.

ENGINE
Auto stop/start and remote functions disabled due to battery unable to meet electrical demands of the vehicle. As delivered the battery is insufficient to meet the needs of the vehicle and needs to be externally charged or driven for over 2 hrs to regain function. My concern is that in normal driving the battery ability to deliver energy may become insufficient.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
Unknown, My 2024 Ford Maverick has now twice got stuck in reverse (shifter indicates it is in reverse) though the dash shows park and I was unable to start the truck after removing my key and waiting a few moments it would act normal and let me start my truck. The last time it happened I was in the dealer lot and told my sales representative but we couldn’t replicate the problem he said next time it happens to record it and see if it becomes a trend that it would be covered under warranty but until it is replicable they could not do anything I don’t know when or why it happens. I just wanted to report it because I’m not sure if it’s only happening to me or if it is effecting others as well.

I am having trouble with the gas pedal. When you push the gas petal it makes a sound under neath the Hood. The car does want to move and when I push the gas pedal again it sounds real bad. There is something wrong. Also when you push the button to lock and unlock it makes a sound. So I took it to Freedom Ford in Wise Virginia. They took it back and about an hour this woman that works back there. She told me that the man that looked at it said that he didn’t know what was wrong with it. He said that he would have to get Someone that was an Engineer to help him. The Manager order this vehicle for me on line and put what I wanted on it. Some things wasn’t put on there. So he told me that it would take up to a year and I said that would be ok. Well, I order it toward the end of October 2023. Well In February 2024 I got my truck. There is no way that they could have fixed this vehicle and it pass through the Government. somebody fixed a Lemon. Would you please help me. This is the only 4 wheel vehicle I have.
