2022 FORD MAVERICK Complaints

driving down I 90 at 65 mph, powertrain/ power malfunction light came on and power was reduced to 20 mph. Very dangerous . This happened at least 4 times until I was able to return home. shut truck off and would go until the warning light came back on. contacting dealer tomorrow

Check engine light Power train light (wrench)/reduced power Brake light pre-collision light/pre-collision unavailable Hill assist message The above warning lights appeared out of no wear when pulling up to a stop light.. The parking break was automatically engaged and the above warning lights appeared. When I tried to accelerate to make a turn, the truck would not accelerate with me using the accelerator, but it started accelerating on its own. I had to keep riding the brake because it keep accelerating on its own until I was able to get it to a parking lot.

Loss power, gear selector "D" flashing. Dashboard has check engine light on, displays "service AdvanceTrac and Hill start assist not available. Could have got into an accident if not for fact I was just leaving a light, going maybe 35 MPH. After stopping, I let my foot of the break and it was accelerating on it's own. I pulled over again and now it's just a check engine light. I've had this vehicle in 5 times for recalls, waiting on the sixth one. Ford actually told me it was a lemon but I've kept it as a new car to replace it was too expensive. This one is almost paid off.

On 4/27/24 Vehicle went into limp mode after driving for less than 90 seconds. Multiple various errors messages (powertrain, hill assist, collision, check engine) lit up, vehicle was accelerating on its own when in drive. No error messages prior to this incident. Similar incident happened around 3/10/23 while at Ford service for recall software updates but issue was not confirmed at that time. Vehicle is at Ford service now for second incident. Ford service states when the vehicle got a recall completed for the SOBDCM update, it triggered the vehicle to not update fully and causes the warning messages and can force the vehicle to go into limp mode and lose power.

While driving 70mph, Maverick truck lost power and was forced to pull onto shoulder. Restarted car after several systems were flashing as disabled. I was only able to drive 34mph top speed. After stopping for gas and shutting vehicle off for 30 minutes, car restarted without warnings (only check engine light on) and were able to drive 70mph again. I'm assuming this is the 24S24 recall. My dealership read the codes but were not aware of the recall or its remedy so I'm still waiting for recalibtation.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V380000 (Engine) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The Dealer did not reveal the unresolved recall on this used vehicle during sales lot inspection. After I pointed out the recall listed on the CarFax report, the dealer did not address the concern nor mention if the recall had been resolved in order to make the used truck ready for resale. The Dealer did not explain how the recall may apply to this specific truck. This vehicle still has this recall active and unresolved at the Fritts Ford Dealership in Riverside, CA Auto Mall. Instead, pushed the Ford PremiumCare Extended Warranty which in the fine print does not include the engine, the battery, or recalls on any components. I have not purchased this vehicle and unlikely to do so at this time due to this serious and dangerous known risk to operating this 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid Truck.

The component in question is the powertrain control module for my Maverick. After having the relevant powertrain recall reprogramming done (23E09), I was driving down the highway when I received a rapid series of warnings from my car including "Pre-Collision Assist Not Available", "Service Engine Soon", and "Service AdvanceTrac" [sic]. I lost all engine power at that point, and was steadily decelerating with no response from the accelerator. There was no advance warning or messages. There was an imminent threat to my safety at that time. The loss of all power rendered the car unsafe to continue driving on the highway, and prevented me from leaving the highway in a safe manner. I was able to pull off the highway at a fortunately nearby exit ramp, however, I was unable to accelerate and was only able to coast to the nearest safe parking space. I subsequently turned my car off and on again, I found that when in drive the car would accelerate by itself to no more than 35 miles per hour, and was unresponsive to the accelerator pedal-it would only slow down if the brake was applied. Upon arriving at my original departure point, I then turned my car off and attempted a BMS reset unsuccessfully. The next day (<12 Hours since the initial failure), my car was functioning properly again but was soon seen by a dealership for service. I was informed by the service representative that this is a repeated issue brought to their attention for this make & model, with a consistent trend of these issues occurring after the powertrain control module was reprogrammed as part of an update. The powertrain module was again reprogrammed/flashed, and the issue has not repeated since the initial failure, though it is available for inspection.

3/28/24 My 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid’s engine shut down and lost acceleration driving 70-80 miles an hour on a highway going through hills after 100 miles. Vehicle displayed a bunch of dashboard alerts as it soon lost all acceleration and would only drive slowly in Electric mode. I pulled over and tried again, but it was stuck in electric mode with barely any acceleration and displayed Check engine, service vehicle, bring to the dealer, etc., and a few other alerts. I shut off the engine and tried it again 5 min later, and it was still in electric mode. I shut it off again and waited around 15 minutes while trying to get roadside service using my Ford App, which showed local dealers but I could not find any towing service. Then, after the truck cooled down, ~15 minutes, it started up fine, and I could drive it. The engine shut down again after about another hour, displaying the same dashboard alerts as seen earlier. I pulled way over, shut everything down, and waited 10-15 min or so , and it started and ran fine to get me home in 30 min or so. I brought it to the Ford dealer the next day, 3/29/24, it took them 8 business days, and they said it was fixed on 4/9/24; they replaced the Battery/ Smart junction box.

On April 1, 2024, while using cruise control going uphill on the interstate in heavy traffic, the truck went into LIMP mode without warning, and multiple lights appeared on the dashboard. Once I swerved over to the side of the road I turned the truck off, let it sit for 15 minutes and turned it back on. Turning it back on allowed the truck to get out of LIMP mode, but the check engine light remained. This happened several times on my drive, but I was able to finally finish my drive several hours later. Next day, all lights on the dashboard were off. The ford dealership could not determine the source of the issue or recreate the issue. This is a major concern as this issue put my safety at risk and could have caused a major accident on a major interstate, putting others’ safety at risk as well. On April 23, 2024, I went to start the truck, and the battery was dead. I confirmed no lights were on to drain the battery, and from April 23, 2024 forward, my power windows randomly stop working.
