The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that while driving on the highway at 70 MPH, the transmission unexpectedly shifted out of drive. The contact pulled over; however, the transmission failed to shift to park(P). The contact activated the parking brake and disconnected the battery to park the vehicle. The vehicle was restarted; however, the transmission failed to shift into park. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission jumped out of gear, and the contact pulled over and had the vehicle towed to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the transmission was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure milage was 126,000.
Front CV axles. Front end shakes really bad at 30-50 mph. Dealer changed front passenger side CV axle but it still shakes really bad. I'll be bringing it back to the dealership, but warranty expires soon they need to have a recall and a better replacement part for this fix. I am not the only one with this problem.
Was not able to put the car in reverse. Had to be pulled out of driveway by another truck. When driving forward the engine was very loud RPMs were in the beginning of the red zone. Took car straight to dealer. Told the transmission fluid sensor was broken.
Engine Service warning appeared this morning and the vehicle immediately lost power to a maximum of 20 mph. The same thing happened approximately 2.5 months ago. A Ford dealership technician checked it out could not find an issue and cancelled the check engine light. Both times this occurred on a busy road and could have led to a potential collision with another vehicle.
I was driving on the highway at 55 mph. When I pushed on the gas pedal, no acceleration would occur. There were not any warning lights or indicators for an issue. I had a total loss of power and had to coast to the side of the highway across several lanes to get to safety. The gas pedal would not function until I turned off the truck then turned it back on. The deal was not able to find any root cause for this issue, so I am driving with uncertainty whether it will happen again.

Vehicle spontaneously went into limp mode while driving on the highway. Slowed to 20 mpg and would not accelerate. Required pulling onto the shoulder of the road.
Just recently I've noticed that when the engine is running and I'm stopped or parked the truck will "lurch". Almost as if I'm trying to hit the gas while parked or holding the brakes. Since this has started, I've also noticed that from 25mph to 60/65mph there is a violent vibration ONLY under acceleration (20-25% on the power meter) while the engine is running. Issue worsens depending on the mode the truck is in (worse under sport, better under ECO/Slippery). Whole truck will shake, body, steering wheel and all. Not sure if these two issues are related? I'm not sure if these are considered to be powertrain or if it's the engine. Not sure if I could have it inspected upon request because I can't pin point any mechanical abnormalities visually. I feel my safety and others may be a concern because the unknown of the issue. I'm not sure if the vehicle is breaking down, will break down, lose power or whatever the case may be. The vehicle has been reported to Ford for these issues with no resolve. No warning lamps or messages. The issue appeared to come out of no where. Wasn't doing it one day, began doing it the next.
CV axles started failing at 23k miles. Truck would shake at 52MPH. Billy Howell Ford Dealership technicians confirmed the CV axles showed abnormal wear and needed to be replaced. Techs stated they would replace the axles but the parts are back-ordered. Vehicle is now at 25k miles and shakes from 42MPH to 60MPH and is getting worse. Checked with dealership today and they have no ETA on parts from Ford.
The constant velocity axles are shot at 27k miles and the truck is stuck at the dealership for a month now until replacement CV axles become available. The issue started with a small vibration in the pedals while accelerating around 10 to 40 mph. The issue then progressed after about a week or two where everything shakes while accelerating. Especially while veering left. This is a known issue but Ford has not issued a recall. Some people are on their 3rd replacement by 50k miles.
severe vibration when accelerating and/or going up a hill. As of now my safety has not been at risk, unless you count being scared out of my mind (just turned 76). How do I know it will not fail trying to avoid crazy/careless drivers! The cv axel has been back ordered since Oct 3th 2024. I don't understand why it could take so long for a new part to come in. This has been going on for at least 4 months, I thought it had something to do with tires which I got 4 new tires and the problem continued.
My CV axle on my front right failed prematurely and they have replaced under warranty, but I have come to find out that a lot of people in the 2022 Mavericks in 2023 Mavericks are having CV axle issues. They are getting them replaced between 20 and 40,000 miles. This seems like a severe issue and I-??ve heard rumor that they are changing the design of the CV axle to prevent this in the future so I would think there should be a recall to force them to put the new designed CV axles in the 22 and 23 Mavericks to prevent this problem.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle, the power train warning light illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to shift into the intended gear. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond and decelerated to approximately 55 MPH. The contact stated that upon releasing and depressing the accelerator pedal again, the vehicle responded as needed. The contact stated that the automatic emergency braking system had engaged while there was no vehicle nearby. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V330000 (Power Train); however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and the dealer retrieved DTC code: P092977. The dealer determined that the GSM needed to be replaced due to a communication failure between the PCM and the Gear Shift Module (GSM). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.
Started to experience heavy shaking and vibrations while accelerating. Vehicle only had 20,000 miles on it at that point. Reduced speed to maintain control of vehicle. Took to dealer and was told that it was a failed CV axle which had failed and needed replaced. Mechanic informed us that the Maverick was produced with faulty cv axles and this was a common problem and vehicle was unsafe to drive until replaced. Mechanic advised us that the other axle would likely fail as well and as no change had been made to the design the replacement axles will likely continue to fail unless ford provides a real fix.
Failure of CV axles. This is a very common failure of low mileage 2022-2024 ford mavericks. The dealership confirmed they are bad. The new axle is on backorder from ford so I am driving the vehicle while I wait for the new part. The symptoms are shaking while accelerating.
Heavy vibration under acceleration starting at about 45mph until about 60mph. If off throttle at those speeds no vibration is felt. Only when accelerating. Vibration increases as more throttle is applied. This caused serious safety issues when having to climb up grades on freeway. No warning lights present. Vehicle has not yet been checked by dealer.
The vehicle begins to shake at stop lights, especially going downhill. In research, it seems to indicate the vehicle has issues with CV axles. Concerned for safety of myself, passengers, and the vehicle.
CV joint axle front right and left. Vehicle shaking upon acceleration and getting worse. This issue is very concerning when driving on the highway. This vehicle was taken to the dealership for a diagnosis. It is confirmed that the axle shafts need to be replaced. The estimated repair for this is $1200. This problem started as a subtle vibration. I took the vehicle to a tire shop and paid do have tires re balanced and rotated. They said the shake is not tire related. I also read on online forums that many people are having this issue. The parts are currently unavailable to repair. Meanwhile, the shaking continues to get worse.
This morning before my drive to work, a service vehicle soon message popped up on the screen. During my drive to work the vehicle began to respond sluggishly and lose power and acceleration on the highway. My safety and the safety of others was put at risk and the vehicle was unable to maintain highway speeds. I was able to make it to work driving at reduced speeds, and after parking the vehicle received a message on my Ford App of a Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power alert. My vehicle was serviced by Ford on 06/20/2024 for a recall related to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
