2022 FORD MAVERICK Complaints

Sometimes when coming to a full stop and when moving slow and braking in parking lots the brakes seem to not fully engage and then at the last second they grab hard to stop the truck. I can see this as being potentially hazardous ,especially in a parking lot or when conditions are slippery.

Had vehicle towed into shop because it was dead and jumping it couldn't sustain a charge. Dealer took a week to determine it was a DC converter problem and ordered part to replace. After replacement, it was determined it was a battery cable and has been backordered for 2 months. Parking brake error message was present randomly, otherwise no other warnings occurred.

I was driving on the highway at about 70 MPH when the truck gave me a "Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power" notification & the red battery light came on. The truck then had a "Pull Over Immediately" (Not 100% sure on the wording) notification on the dashboard and stopped accelerating. Once the notification popped up and the truck stopped accelerating, the air conditioning & power steering also stopped working. I was able to coast long enough to get over to the shoulder where I was able to call a tow truck. While waiting for the tow truck, the truck would not start, the hood latch would not open, and it was unable to shift gears so it could not be put in neutral to be towed.

Hybrid vehicle. Very jerky and rough low speed braking. The transition from regenerative braking to mechanical/hydraulic is extremely jerky and rough. Sometimes the hand off between regenerative and mechanical leaves me with no brakes at all and I am forced to slam the brakes. In a parking lot I look like a rank amateur driver. I've been driving for 52 years and have never experienced anything like this. It always happens no matter what I do. Over 5000 miles on the odometer.

Loose connection for positive cable on wiring harness under the hood causes intermittent complete failure of electrical system. Car is unable to start when the connection is loose without a jump.

Vehicle would not start due to electrical connection, check engine light on, all driver assist features disabled.

At low speeds the brakes would jerk violently. Pressure on the brakes would change making seem like the car will not stop at times.

Sudden lose of braking due to a specific set of circumstances. I've had this about 7 times now inside of 1,000 miles of driving (new car). Seems to happen when: Traction battery is near full. I've only been able to read the traction battery capacity for a day now, seems 70% is near full as far as regenerative braking is concerned. I started my car today as 55degrees OAT with a 63% full battery. My initial drive is downhill for the first 1.5 miles with the first .5 being very downhill. This event normally happens at the bottom of that .5 miles. I went from 63% to right at 70% inside of that. This car has a "ev coach" bar that shows (if you turn it on, which I only did very recent). Normally this bar stays within the lines. When this happens it goes beyond the lines. I get NO CEl/warning lights. I just lose braking suddenly (regenerative) and have to brake it myself (a very sudden loose). I do have videos of this happening now.

Occasionally, when driving at very low speed (<5mph) the vehicle does not easily brake when I apply the brakes. The vehicle will continue to pull forward and it feels as if I am not applying the brakes at all. When this happens, I will push on the brake pedal with much more force and the vehicle will brake and stop. There is sometimes a clunk, or thudding sounds that accompanies the transition from pulling forward to braking.

I just wanted to share that my Maverick intermittently makes a hard clunking stop during low speed stop and go conditions. It also takes more brake pressure to stop as the truck feels like it’s trying to lunge forward. This occasional happens when parking the truck as well.
