2022 FORD MAVERICK HYBRID Complaints

Vehicle lost all power while driving on the freeway. Had to pull over, find a safe place to park and while doing that, the engine sounded like a diesel engine.

While driving, the car severely jerked and all the lights on the dash lit up. I received the errors “Powertrain failure”, “vehicle in low gear mode”, “pre collision assist not available” and “service engine soon”. I quickly lost all power and was completely unable to accelerate. I happened to be going down hill so I coasted to a clear area where I could safely stop. After coming to a stop the car could not move forward and needed to be towed. I have not received any errors prior to this. However, I did recently complete a recall that involved a powertrain software update.

We have been informed of this safety recall since june of last year and still do not have a solution for it. We have been parking outside to mitigate fire risk. The ford dealer in Olathe KS and Shawnee KS have both been unable to alleviate this risk for our vehicle.

My vehicle was parked in a secure parking garage at work. I came out from work and noticed a hairline crack in the windshield. I took it to Safelite seeking to have it repaired and was told the entire windshield needed replaced and the windshield was “thin” and “dangerous”

While traveling on the highway at approximately 75mph the instrument cluster began to flash warnings, (Selected gear will be changed to when speed slows down, precollision assist not available, service engine soon) the accelerator pedal was unresponsive, and the vehicle began to slow. I parked the vehicle, shut the engine off, and restarted. upon restarting the vehicle would only move at approximately 10mph, the accelerator pedal was still unresponsive. I then parked the vehicle and called for a tow truck to take the vehicle to the dealership.

Had recall updates completed 3-11-24. ..23C41, 24C01, 23E09, 23E07 3-12-24 Maverick dies on the interstate going around 65mph. It just stopped running. I was able to pull over and after waiting several minutes was able to continue driving with the check engine light on. Took it back to the dealer and was told nothing was wrong. It has happened 2 more times dyeing at 65mph. 3-13-24 and 3-19-24

Vehicle had a sudden loss of power at ~40mph and began rapidly decelerating. Had there been a car behind me, the sudden deceleration could have caused a collision. Warning lamps and messages displayed on the instrument cluster instantly. I pulled the OBD codes and received U1011 and U1028 as active codes. These codes indicate a PCM software issue. It is important to note that this issue occurred after a PCM software update was performed as part of a recall. I power cycled the vehicle, cleared the DTC codes, and after multiple attempts, the vehicle worked normally again and I was able to drive it home. I have been unable to recreate the problem after clearing the codes. Prior to this incident, I have not had any problems from the vehicle. I suspect the the PCM software recall is what caused the problem.

Yes, I was driving around 75 mph [XXX] in Thousand Oaks, Ca and I lost power to the engine. No acceleration from the gas pedal. Was able to turn hazards on and make it off freeway. This issue now has happened over 5 times at all speeds. Truck is currently with Ford. Also this issue never happened until Ford fixed the CV axles that went bad. First time it lost power was the night I picked up from dealership from them fixing cv axles. They also did some recall updates with codes. I can say this is a very dangerous situation when losing power driving on a California freeway. Not having my truck is also causing me many issues with work and clients. The truck is my lifeline.

I think it's a software issue. As of today, I've had the problem three times since having my BCM and PCM reprogrammed. The truck will suddenly loose power and go into some kind of limp mode. The dash screen starts throwing notices in quick succession: low gear only, check advancetrac, hill assist not available, powertrain malfunction/reduced power, pre-collision assist not available, the light indicating what drive mode (reverse, park, drive, etc.) starts flashing and then switches itself from drive to park, and then the parking brake turns itself on.

After having two recalls done on 2/29 the next day my vehicle dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree. There was a message about low gear, the shifter was blinking, I lost collision assist, traction control, and something called bill start. I was able to pull over and shut it off. When I restarted a minute later it accelerated on its own with no input from me. Braking worked but it was slowly moving up in speed.
