2022 FORD MAVERICK HYBRID Complaints

There is a drivetrain shudder/vibration at lower speeds, while accelerating, and decelerating. Taking off from a stop seems to cause it most often, but not always. Vehicle does seems to recover, but stumbles a little. This is an intermittent problem, it has only 7,500 miles, no dealer is able to "reproduce" the problem yet. No warning lights, or DTC's. I am not sure it is a safety issue yet, but if the drivetrain suddenly disengages while traveling down the highway because of these symptoms now, I can see a real safety concern.

Despite having the Tsb done to fix the Grabby Brakes problem, it is now worse. The brakes now have a void zone in the pedal travel, which makes these brakes even trickier to use. Also when the brakes grab about 1/2 the time it also makes the vehicle steer to the right. On the enclosed photo this was the damage done to my vehicle when pulling into the garage, when the brakes grabbed and pulled the vehicle to the right. In summary this is a problem which needs to be fixed before the brakes grab and pull me into another vehicle in a tight parking scenario. God forbid the brakes would cause my vehicle to veer into a person standing nearby. In summary the brakes are not something I can rely on with confidence.

Truck has been going into deep sleep. Failed to start do to battery while in garage. Failed to start another time leaving me stranded. Dealership has replaced battery 2 times. I mentioned checking wiring harness, but they just replaced battery. Approximately 3 weeks after replacing battery 2nd time it is going into deep sleep mode again. I am concerned I will become stranded once again with a dead battery

During a moderate cruise speed, 15-35 mph, the vehicle will produce a shudder. The vehicle shakes as if riding on rumble strips. It can replicated by coasting and resting the foot on the brake lever. It does not occur every time but it is disjointing when it does occur. This would occur 3-7 times a week. The way I’ve found to stop it is to apply the brakes or the apply acceleration. Such maneuvers become unpredictable, and novice drivers may over react. This issue is well documented by drivers, with the keywords “hybrid shuddering.” Because it is inconsistent, and ford has not pushed out a fix, this issue has been unresolved.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V594000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The local dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Low speed grabby brakes. When I go to park my maverick hybrid at the last moment it stops you very suddenly under 5mph. And my back up camera has frozen up a few times now mening when I back up the camera does not keep movies but stays frozen in 1 spot.

Grabby brakes at low speed. Even after getting the suggested fix from Ford my vehicle still has the grabby breaks. There is also an issue where coming from a fast speed down to a lower speed the vehicle starts to vibrate violently until I either press the gas or press the break. Seems like the breaks are pulsing on and off very fast causing it to shake.

The brakes are very grabby and abrupt when stopping at low parking lot speeds or creeping up in a drive-thru line. It often makes a clunk noise and it feels like it will not stop at all until you hear that clunking noise. I took it to my dealership but they said they could not replicate the issue so they did nothing about it, even after showing them a TSB 23-2060 document saying what to do and why. I recalled one time I was driving between cars in a parking lot, it makes that noise, and a couple that was having a conversation next to their car thought I hit their car after they hear the noise, they were even looking for damages on their car and looking at me.

TSB 22-2493 has been issued for my vehicle and I have been experiencing the braking problem for a year. The problem is intermittent and that causes a safety issue because you never know when you are going to be jerked to a stop. I describe it like the braking you get with a new driver that just pushes the brake to the floor. You never know when your car is going implement a panic stop and throw you forward. What I am experiencing is not a feature of Hybrid braking. It is intermittent so it is may not occur on a test drive. I have taken to my truck to my FORD dealer for the resolution of the TSB but the software update was not installed because they could not replicate the problem.

On Monday the 27th of March, 2023 I drove the truck home and there was no issues. When I went to go drive the vehicle on Tuesday morning to work, the 28th, it didn't start. There was no power to the vehicle and it wouldn't even turn over. I tested the truck battery and it was completely dead. Wednesday the 29th I called the dealership to report the issue and they asked for a reason to why the vehicle wouldn't start. I couldn't give then a reason so they asked me to get the truck towed. I got contacted by the service department at the dealership to get more information from me but I haven't heard back from them. Its been over a week and I still haven't heard from the dealership. The dealership is University Ford in Durham, phone number 919-999-2928. They said I needed a appointment but I couldn't have scheduled an appointment without knowing there was going to be an issue with the truck.
