2022 FORD MAVERICK HYBRID Complaints

As I was driving and began to slow down the vehicle switched from gas to electric driving and during the transition the entire vehicle started shaking excessively. As it happened it felt like the engine or transmission was the cause of the shake. This has happened 4 times randomly so far.

Car electrical system was completely dead at only 9500 miles and required a jumpstart and battery replacement

Vehicle seems to have a problem with the brakes engaging when trying to stop. Will have it inspected soon to see why. But has gotten me close to hitting other cars at times because when trying to ease into a stop or simply move up in line brake won't engage for a bit then all the sudden engage and will jerk the vehicle from the sudden stop. And happens frequently

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the brakes were grabbing, causing the vehicle to abruptly stop. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who performed a software update under an unknown TSB; however, the failure persisted. The local dealer was notified of the failure, but no additional assistance was provided. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 20.

No power to vehicle. Had this occurred anywhere else (as I was very close to my home) I would have been stranded, or possibly gotten into an accident had it occurred on the Highway. No technician has inspected it yet, as it just happened this morning. Upon looking into what the issue could be, I quickly identified that this seems to be an incredibly common, almost ubiquitous issue with the Ford Maverick XLT Hybrid and without the resources necessary to fix the issue, I have no recourse. This vehicle is just over one year old and I feel that this is unacceptable, especially for a vehicle so reliant on electricity.

5/21/2023 8:45pm Driving south on I-15 through Temecula, a “Service Vehicle Soon” warning showed up on display, I pushed “OK” to clear the message and then “Shift Sys Fault” warning showed up while the gear selector showed a flashing “D” 8:48pm (see Ford Pass app) mileage 5,286 Then “Powertrain Malfunction / Reduce Power” warning showed up and the truck started to lose speed. I put the Emergency Flashers on and started to maneuver to the right lane. The truck continued to lose power and the truck kept slowing even though I depressed the accelerator to try to increase speed and keep up with the freeway traffic so I could safely pull off the freeway onto the right shoulder. The gear selector was now flashing “P” even though we were going over 50 MPH. I turned the selector knob clockwise to try to move to “D” fearing that the transmission would self-destruct if it did engage Park. The selector did seem to change to D, still flashing, but I couldn’t say if it stayed there for sure because I was too busy avoiding traffic to get off the freeway. As I pulled onto the shoulder continuing to slow, the emergency brake engaged and the transmission shifted into Park while we were still moving at approximately 5 to 10 MPH and the truck skidded abruptly to a stop making grinding noises. The transmission would not shift out of Park and the parking brake would not release. Note: This Maverick experienced many similar "Shift Sys Faults" errors several months ago although never while the truck was moving. Ford replaced the transmission on Dec 5, 2022 and the vehicle was operating normally until this event. Ford file CAS-38767629-B5P4Y1 9:28pm When Ford Emergency Service advised no help was coming, I turned the key on and I was able to shift the transmission to Drive and continue home. In previous events, after waiting 20-30 mins the fault would clear and the transmission and parking brake would function again. We continued home, 39 miles, without incident. Faults attached

Brakes grab abruptly at slow speeds. This doesn't occur every time but when it does occur it can be significant enough to launch an unfastened dog into the front console. At times it feels like the car wants to lunge forward for a second then the brakes grab as if they are locking up. This only occurs at slow speeds like in a parking lot.

Braking issue at slow speed , jerky and unpredictable especially in reverse. hard to duplicate on demand but not real comfortable with this, going to dealer for updated resolution. But I've heard of bad feedback on results from others in my maverick owners club. I am hoping for a more permanent fix for our family investment.
