2023 FORD MAVERICK Complaints

The truck is a hybrid and has just 12,000 miles on it. Water is leaking inside the cab on the passenger side and has created mold in the carpet and padding. It has now been at the dealers going on 4 weeks and they say they are having a hard time finding where it is leaking in from. I have seen several other posts about it being the window or A/C fresh air intake.

The contact owns a 2023 Ford Maverick equipped with Continental Tires, Tire Line: ProContact TX, Tire Size: 225/65/R17, DOT Number: 1P50FBC3K. The contact stated while his wife was driving approximately 65 MPH, she heard an abnormal bang or popping sound. The contact stated that the low tire pressure warning light for the rear driver's side tire was displayed. The contact stated that his wife stated that the tire pressure fell to zero pressure in seconds. The contact stated that his wife was able to exit the highway and called the contact. The contact arrived and changed the tire and had not observed any damages to the tire, and there were no signs of a blowout. The contact stated that prior to the tire failure he had noticed that all four tires had a single indent on the sidewall the width of a pencil starting at the rim and running to where the sidewall the tread was joined. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or tire dealer. The tire was not diagnosed. The vehicle manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate vehicle and tire failure mileages were 15,000.

My Maverick had to have both CV joints replaced at 18,000 miles. Bad shaking vibration when accelerating. I told Byers Ford of vibration they said both CV joints needed replacement. I was told this is a common problem with Mavericks.

Started to develop a rumble/stumble upon acceleration. It seems to be getting worse. Finally took it in the dealer. The dealer confirmed that it is the CV axles. They need replacing. Dealer said no parts in stock and not sure when they will arrive. WTH. I asked about driving and they said keep on motoring. What. How can this be good for all the other connected parts! It shutters so bad I am not confident it will not cause me to have an accident. This is a major issue with the drive-line components. Ford needs to issue a recall and redesign this part or I will be replacing these again at my cost. I only have 39k milage

Factory Wireless charging station drops charging continuously and fails to charge phone.

Loss of motive control ongoing issue. This is documented problem being investigated by NTHSA, R2Q4014. Functional issue: • Engine flips into Neutral unexpectedly. Vehicle coasts to a stop, where it flips into Park on its own. • Vehicle requires a restart to move gear out of Neutral. After restarting vehicle, vehicle can operate on limited power that maxes out at about 35 mph. Acceleration is dramatically reduced, gradually ramping up as the vehicle continues to drive — the acceleration pedal does not control speed. Coming to a complete stop while driving with the vehicle in this reduced power mode requires another gradual ramp up to speed, making typical street driving difficult because it may take 30-45 seconds for the vehicle to ramp up to adequate speed (ramp from zero to 35mph), frustrating other drivers behind he vehicle who may think the slow speed is intentional. • After the vehicle has sat powered down for a number of minutes, it can be started up again at full power. I have seen this refractory period as low as 15 minutes and as high at 45-ish minutes. This issue has happened to me multiple times, 9 as of last count. Ford has attempted a fix twice now, and the issue persists. I would be happy to discuss full experience and how Ford has responded, or rather not responded, with your investigative team. Thank you for looking into this issue.

The wiring harness on this vehicle is made of a soy based material, I had a rodent chew through this coating and my wiring harness, it caused my rear turn signal to go out, I have a 3 year 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty on the vehicle but Ford does not cover this, you have to pay to have it fixed yourself and they replace it with the same material, I am worried that it will happen again and again I will have to pay to have it fixed, I feel that Ford should be responsible for this and have it fixed. I found out that Ford is not the only manufacturer that uses this product.

Upon accelerating from about 40 to 50 mph violent shaking was occurring , took to dealership CV axels were found to be the problem and were replaced at 17,000 miles now at 29,000 miles they are doing the same thing and need to be replaced again took to dealership waiting on new CV axels to be replaced again

The contact owns a 2023 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that on some occasions when the vehicle was started, there was an abnormal odor of overcharged battery in the cabin of the vehicle. The contact also stated on several occasions, the odor made his eyes swell with tears, especially in the hotter months of the year. The vehicle was taken to a dealer however, the failure could not be replicated; however, the mechanic observed the same odor of the overcharged battery. The dealer contacted the manufacturer and was advised that the odor was normal. The contact stated that manufacturer had stated that only two instances were reported and there would be no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 24,500.

My wife and I were involved in an accident where we were stopped and a vehicle rear-ended us at approximately 45mph, centered on the rear of the truck. My wife was in the passenger seat and I was driving. My seat collapsed backwards completely, and my wife's seat collapsed within about 2 inches of the rear seat. When mine collapsed, the headrest came out most of the way, and I slid backwards, hitting the top, back of my head on the rear seat just below the head rest, breaking the skin and leaving a mark of blood visible in the photos.
