2024 FORD MAVERICK HYBRID Complaints

This recall was put into effect in December, causing my vehicle to be taken off a rental program, causing a loss in income. 24V684 states that the vehicle camera will freeze, but to continue to drive the vehicle. This recall should not have been released until a remedy was available.

This is a hybrid vehicle and offers remote features to be able to lock/unlock and start the vehicle through an app. However there is apparently a "known issue" (dealer service department confirmed) with no known fix and an approximate resolution date of mid 2025. the issue is that the 12V battery (not hybrid) drains on its own and begins to fail when the vehicle is not running. They aren't sure of the cause but it could be related to the remote features and causes the battery to be always on or running. We wake up to error messages several times a week on our app that the remote features are unavailable, that the battery is drained, and that we may need to jumpstart the battery and drive it a long time. This has been a safety issue because we have been unable to access the car via app or key remote, needing the physical key, and on occasion have needed to jumpstart the vehicle. We have brought this vehicle to the dealer where they have replaced the battery at least once maybe twice, and the last time confirmed to us that there is not yet a recall but might turn into one because it is a known safety issue and the manufacturer has issued them specific codes and warnings and authorized them to replace and test battery more frequently than usual due to the issue and that a workaround will be announced from the manufacturers to the dealers sometime in 2025. But calling AAA to jumpstart your car just so you can drive it to the dealership when you need to go to work is not a safe way to start your day!

The main battery keeps going into battery saver mode and tells me to drive the vehicle to get it out of battery saver (i.e., charge the battery) even after I've driven the vehicle for over an hour. Some people have reported that the main batter goes into battery saver even when the vehicle is running! Also, the collision avoidance is a joke. I've had it come on ONCE when it was nearly unavoidable to hit the car in front of me. If I had already not been taking evasive action, there would have been a collision. The settings saying "warn me at max distance" don't seem to have any effect on this. Not a helpful feature and downright dangerous if one were to depend on it.

12 volt battery not keeping a charge. Twice vehicle had to be jumped recently. The App reports Battery Saver mode 95% when parked. Dome lights don't work 80% of the time. Remote key fob won't open doors 10% of the time. Have to use key to unlock vehicle Taken to the dealer on 11/1. It stated, "Engineering is currently working on a fix for an intermittent battery draw. Disconnected and tested per SSM 53087. Battery passed. No repairs at this time". The problem has become worse as if battery won't hold a charge. Had to jump vehicle recently. Approximately 1 minutes after turning off the ignition, radio and driver display both say, System shutting down to save battery. I have scheduled a second appointment for 1/31 to see if battery is failing.

My 24 Ford Maverick Hybrid goes into deep sleep so it will not start after sitting for a few days,i have to run a battery tender or battery goes below a certain voltage number and it then goes into deep sleep.Been to dealer twice for same problem they charge the battery and they say it past's Ford's test but you don't drive a few days and goes back into sleep mode unable to start or drive vehicle. I do not drive vehicle everyday but you can not rely on it to work if sitting for a few days to a week.My sales person said Ford is suppose to have a fix first quarter of 2025 but not sure this will happen i hope like hell it does.Been trying to get Ford to replace the battery under warranty so far no luck,but they still need to fix the charging system or get a fix to maintain battery s it does not go dead and leave owner's stranded.

On 1/19/2025 I was driving on the freeway with with the cruise control on, going about 72mph. When out of nowhere my cruise control was automatically canceled, and I lost all power to my acceleration pedal. I would push down and would get no response from the engine. I had to slowly drift my car to the shoulder of the road to come to a stop. Luckily the power was still going to the brakes. I turned off my vehicle and turned it back on. After that the acceleration started working again. My vehicle only has 8600 miles.

Tail lights cracked with very minimal impact. Plastic casing on tail lights appears brittle and defective.

I have a 2024 Ford Maverick Lariat Hybrid with only 1880 miles on it and every 3 days the battery drains from 99% down to 39%. I keep getting the Deep Sleep messages and the dealer refuses to replace the battery. I even got a message saying to drive the vehicle on a day when the vehicle was at the dealer and had been started and driven 6xs that day. Ford released a communications to Service depts but not a fix. Their solution is for the consumer to take their truck to the dealer every 3 days instead of replacing a bad battery. I took truck to dealer 12/31/24, 1/2/25, 1/6/25, and called 1/9/25. First time tech said battery test at 99% then on [XXX] when it was at 39% and he saw the "Drive the vehicle" messages, he started to believe me. Ford needs to fix this because after the 4th time taking it to the dealer and not getting it fixed, it will qualify as a Lemon in TX under the Lemon Law INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Water inside engine. On December 18, 2024 the fist vehicle oil change attempted at 9800 miles at independent oil change vender. Upon removal of oil cap the technician noticed a milky white residue on cap as well as inside valve cover. Technician indicated that this was evidence of water inside engine. Oil change was canceled and picture of the residue on the oil cap was sent to the dealership. The dealership communicated that this was a normal issue and that there should be no concern. Oil was subsequently changed by the independent vendor.

Shortly after starting the vehicle and stopping at a stop light after driving approximately 50 yards, the vehicle jerks, feels like engine/drivetrain is shuddering, and attempts to lurch forward. To stop it I have to apply additonal pressure to the brakes. This has occurred 4 times that I detected after driving on a daily basis since 12/20/24 (when vehicle was purchased) and today 01/01/25. I have not contacted the dealership about this issue yet. There have been no warning lamps, messages or other related symptoms that I have detected.
