Airbags reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Ford is refusing to actually fix the engine fire problem on the 22 Ford Maverick hybrid that I own and it keeps saying that they are going to have an update available in December they did this before couple months back instead it was going to be in October they keep changing the date and I'm having to drive around risking my life in a vehicle that could catch on fire and explode they even tell me not to park in the garage this is ridiculous when are they going to fix this problem or how do I go about getting them to at least of knowledge this. They have also damaged trim pieces in the vehicle while removing trim to replace air bags, now seat belt no longer works correctly

I got a letter from FORD about a 22C20 Recall of the side curtain airbag. January 2023 And I got a letter in the mail from Ford May 24 2023 and it says your 22C20 recall part is ready. I got an appointment from ford frontier June 1 2023 and when the dealer Service Advisor Jesus Labrada told me sorry, we don’t have a part for airbags. He told me the left side and right-side airbags need to be changed and we have just one side. He doesn’t take my car, he told me please call every 10 days to ask if we have a part or not. June 7 2023 I emailed Michael Marshall about the 22C 20 recall part. Do you have it and I got back to me and he said No part for recall yet. June 2023, I got another letter from Ford and Customer Satisfaction Program 22B39 about the vehicle, it may be possible a 12V battery connection may become loose, resulting in a no- start condition. June 2023, I got another letter from Ford about 23S27 on your vehicle, the engine could fail prematurely, in the event of an engine failure. And the letter says part may be available October 2023. Right now, I am not using this car, it’s just sitting in my driveway. It’s not safe for me, if engine fails and if I crash airbags are not working, I don’t want to make a risk to get me or someone else in the car to get a injury or die. I would like to return this Ford Maverick Truck for a full refund.

Ford is taking an unreasonable amount of time in correcting NHTSA Recall Number 22V594. I have purchased the vehicle and the dealership will not let me take ownership until the recall is corrected. Ford estimates the parts to be available in the first quarter of 2023. Not allowing a consumer to take ownership of a vehicle for over three months after paying for it is unjust. The delay in fixing the vehicle is absurd considering the fact that other Ford Maverick's are currently being built and delivered with a safe airbag system.

Crash reported

My wife was t-boned in the passenger door. No airbags deployed nor did the seat belts lock up. I got a notification saying "the restraints control module has indicated the occupant classification system is present but not configured." The side curtain airbags did not deploy causing my wife and my 9 year old son to hit their heads on their windows.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
