2024 Ford Maverick Problems

•Incident/Repair 1 (6 Months from Delivery): At approximately six months of ownership, the vehicle suffered an internal high-voltage electrical failure. The vehicle was towed to an authorized Ford dealership, where technicians diagnosed a catastrophic failure of the High-Voltage Traction Battery system. The dealership attempted a repair by completely replacing the high-voltage hybrid battery assembly. This repair occurred well within New York State's statutory Lemon Law window of 2 years or 18,000 miles. •Incident 2 (2 Years 4 Months from Delivery / Current Status): Approximately two years 4 months from the original delivery date, the replacement high-voltage battery system suffered a secondary, catastrophic failure. While actively driving at highway speeds in live traffic, the engine completely shut off without warning. The vehicle suffered a total and sudden loss of motive power, forcing me to coast through traffic to a complete stop on the side of the road. •Automatic Shifter Hazard: Upon reaching a complete stop during this second incident, the vehicle's computer system automatically forced the electronic transmission into "Park" while still on the roadway. The vehicle's electronic center console maintained 12V power, allowing me to manually override the system into a temporary "Neutral Tow" setting so the truck could be physically pushed out of the flow of traffic to avoid a collision. The vehicle was subsequently towed back to an authorized Ford dealership, where it currently sits

This Maverick truck has developed a Strong shake upon acceleration. Noticeable lower speeds at acceleration or load. Front passenger side. The tires have been rebalanced, rotated, and even purchased new after irregular front passenger tire wear. 50K Continental tires worn out at 24K. No bent rims, no warped tires. No suspension tie rod play or flex with vehicle suspended. No motor mount play. The axles' dust shields are in-tack, but the wobble is from the passenger side axle. Under warranty but premature wear at 25,000 miles. Feel vibration with wheels spinning and place a stick of lumber as resistance. feel vibration.

I was in a parking garage, preparing to back out of my spot. When I put the car into reverse, I noticed that the Ford infotainment system started a reboot, as the Ford logo popped up and had the loading icon. I waited about 20 seconds, but nothing changed with this reboot. I subsequently backed out of the spot using just my head and eyes turned to make sure there was no oncoming traffic. The backup camera did not turn on at all. About five minutes later, when I was driving my car, the backup camera finally turned on (while the car was in Drive or D mode), and was stuck showing me a static image of the parking garage. This was five minutes after I had already left the parking garage. The screen was stuck on this for the next 10 minutes while I drove home. I have attached two photos of this as well. The first in the picture of me at a traffic light, roughly 5 minutes after I shifted my car into reverse. As you can see, I can clearly not in a dimly lit parking garage, but rather at a brightly lit traffic light. The camera would stay stuck at this exact same image for the next 10 minutes, until I arrived home. The second image was the car’s infotainment system trying to reboot itself. It shows the Ford logo, which was currently rebooting (or trying to reboot on its own) the cars’ operating system. This was the image I was seeing until the first image (mentioned above) finally showed up. I work for a K-12 school as their IT Specialist and frequently back into and out of spots all the time. This isn't the first time this has happened and given the nature of my job, I am concerned about a loss of visibility when trying to backup (and the camera is not working). The only good thing is the camera works about 95% of the time. However it is the other 5% that it does not work, that concerns me.

Nov 2nd ,2026 i was driving home in heavy stop and go traffic on the highway. Traffic stopped in front of me and as i pressed the brake it felt life the nothing. Truck hesitated and then grabbed . i was unable to stop in time and hit the car in front of me . i know i should of left mor space between the car in front . i feel like without the hesitation the accident would not of happened. this was not the first time it has done this.

The contact owns a 2024 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that while at a stop light, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended. The contact stated that the vehicle stopped and then lunged forward. In addition, the contact stated that when the brake pedal was released, the vehicle unintendedly accelerated. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure was not duplicated. The contact was informed that the failure was a known failure with the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 8,000. The VIN was unavailable.

Under 6 MPH I feel a strong grabby breaking but my dealer couldn’t give me a solution after a inspection

I am reporting a recurring safety-critical failure. On two separate occasions, the vehicle has experienced a total electrical and mechanical shutdown while in operation. During these events, the 12V power system fails completely, turning off all instrumentation and, most critically, the electronic power brake assist. This results in a 'hard pedal' condition where the vehicle is nearly impossible to stop without extreme physical force. The first instance occurred at road speeds, forcing an emergency maneuver into a turning lane to avoid traffic. The second instance occurred while reversing, causing the vehicle to lose all braking and propulsion and roll into a busy road resulting in a near-miss collision. The vehicle is currently unsafe to drive as the shutdowns are intermittent and occur without warning.

When I turn left or right my steering-wheel, slowly at intersections, I hear a loud "click" sound inside my truck's cabin, so loud that I cannot realize where the sound comes out from. My steering performance is smooth, and I cannot feel anything wrong or any shaking, with the steering column. Just ONE loud click sound, every time when I turn slowly. This has been happening since October 2024. Thank you!

CV axles failed around 42,000 miles. Purchased new tires due to one being worn. After new tires the front end was shaking on acceleration onto the highway. Vibration stopped once the vehicle got up to speed. The tires were rebalanced but that didn't help. The mechanic found the problem to be the CV axles. Once both were replaced the vibration finally stopped.

Windshield cracked while parking in the sun.

Ford provides a spare tire with their 2024 Maverick pickup truck, but does not provide a safe way to transport a damaged tire after performing a tire change. Ford's Owner's Manual for the Maverick shows on page 363 how the damaged tire is to be secured in the bed of the truck using the provided strap tied diagonally to one of the D-rings at the front of the bed and one of the cleats at the rear. Both tie down points for the strap are low enough in the bed to create a vertical force on the damaged tire and hold it down on the bed. Ford has not equipped the base model, known as Maverick XL, with the two D-rings shown in the manual. The only alternative tie down point at the front corners is a pair of cleats that are too high on the bed wall to put a vertical force on the tire. (These other cleats are shown in their Flex Bed diagram.) If attempted, the tire would be held down only by gravity and likely become a dangerous projectile. It would also be inadvisable to stow the damaged tire under the truck bed taking the place where the spare had been stored. If attempted, a damaged tire could have treads or steel cords hanging from it, which could either come in contact with a hot exhaust system or the cords could drag on the road and potentially spark a wildfire the way tow chains sometimes do. Ford's engineers have, in my opinion, designated in its Maverick Owner's Manual the only safe way to stow a damaged tire after using the Maverick's spare tire for an emergency tire change. Ford has provided the strap to secure the tire, but has not equipped all trim levels of the Maverick with the D-rings. Ford needs to provide Maverick XL owners with the two missing D-rings as well as the fasteners to mount them on the truck bed. It may also need to provide the correct size tapping tool if the existing holes were not threaded at the factory. This would remedy the inability to safely carry a damaged tire and also align with Owner's Manual instructions.

my daughter rear-ended another driver as she was entering a turn lane. Moments prior to the accident, she described what sounds like a brake booster failure. There was no indication the AEB system activated and only the airbag at her feet deployed. She hit the car in front of her at ~35 mph. 1. Brake system failure - yes, it is currently available for inspection 2. Car failed to stop and resulted in an accident. Luckily no-one was seriously injured. 3&4 car has not be examined by anyone, yet. Trying to figure out who best to look at the vehicle. 5 unknown

On 01 February 2025, my 2024 Ford Maverick XLT was involved in a front-end collision where two critical safety systems failed: 1.Airbag System Failure: The airbags did not deploy despite a significant front-end impact. This component is still available for inspection upon request. 2.Forward Collision Sensor Malfunction: The front collision sensor system failed to detect the obstacle and did not engage automatic braking, which contributed to the severity of the crash. This system is also available for inspection. Safety Risk: Due to these failures, my wife was hit in the chest by the force of the impact, and our dog was thrown inside the vehicle. My wife may have sustained internal injuries or bruising as a result. The failure of both the airbag system and collision avoidance system put our safety at serious risk. Problem Confirmation: The issue has not yet been confirmed by a dealer or service center because my insurance company (Progressive) is scheduled to inspect the vehicle on Monday. I will update this report if additional findings are confirmed. Inspection Status: The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer (Ford), but I have reported the issue to them for investigation. The vehicle will be inspected by insurance representatives to assess the damage and possible system malfunctions. No police report was filed at the time of the accident. Warning Signs Prior to Failure: There were no warning lamps or error messages prior to the failure. The vehicle was operating normally until the moment of the collision.

2024 Ford Maverick with under 3K mileage. ALL 4 tires have visible sidewall buckling on outside & inside. None failed yet but as retire police / dot inspector, I know this is sidewall failure waiting to happen after only a couple thousand miles. Heck the "full size" Atlas 215/60/r17 spare is a totally different size (1.3 inches shorter) which is unusable on front wheel drive axle due to rotational differences. Made in Mexico. Ford does not have a "better idea". Should my local Ford dealer where the truck was purchased this year not correct this, I will contact an attorney. Know any decent civil attorneys? Ford dealer stated after looking at the tires, the sidewall on Continental tires have "normal seams".

On [XXX] brought Maverick 24 2.0L gas AWD on Electronic Control Unit ( ECU) to Ford Dealer#3 PJ Ford. Was advised Hybrid trucks have ECU on inside bulkhead rear cab wall behind flip down seat. However on later 2.0 L options gas are mounted behind driver side front bumper near and behind front driver side plastic/ fabric wheel well parallel to shot axel ( CVJ) approximately 12 high from ground. Upon first truck was engine started to stall due to water spay entering uncovered rear of plastic axel. Having other Broncos and Range Rover Sport filed complaint with FMC today after requesting to have ECU relocated to where Hybrid are mounted : PJ FORD service mgr. refused and FMC stated bring to another Ford dealer Bayville Ford 14 miles to south on Thursday 4/10/25 for second warrantee claim. I am afraid that in heavy rain with road flooding over 12" the engine will die and cause a rear end collision. I have waited 90 days on recall 24S59 real view camera freezing now have to get out to measure one foot of road water or waves from other trucks assembled properly. I will keep Maverick for sunny days until FMC correct " mis Assembly " of ECU in Mexico Assembly factory. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
