I bought a 2022 Maverick on 12 JAN 2022. The car broke down on the highway six months after (23 JUL 2022). Ford service department claimed it was a fuel injector issue and by replacing the part, the truck should be as good as new. Fast forward to Sat 30 DEC 2023 and the truck breaks down on the highway again with the engine light flashing. Ford service department informed me that the engine has to be replaced because several parts are broken/shattered and they do not know how. I am inclined to believe that the issue was never fixed to begin with and Ford put my safety and the lives of the people I care about at risk. I was sold a lemon with major engine issues and I am terrified of driving the truck again. All the service reports are currently at the dealership; I can acquire copies when needed.

Ford has recalled my 2022 Maverick for potential engine compartment fires due to catastrophic engine failure (reference: 23V380). A remedy was estimated to be available in mid-October, 2023. They have failed to provide a fix yet and this is taking way too long to be resolved.

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

There has been a active Recall (Campaign/NHTSA# 23S27/23V380) on my Ford Maverick Since 26 of May 2023 that has not been able to be repaired. Ford has continued to pushback the anticipated remedy timeframe since October 2023. This is the Second recall for the same issue, as the first recall did not repair the issue but put a Band-Aid on it. Ford is beyond a reasonable amount of time to repair this recall since first issuing it.

In May 2023, a recall was placed against my vehicle without a remedy. The recall is about premature engine failure and the possibility of engine combustion. The remedy was supposed to be ready by October 2023, but is not yet available. I have never gotten an update since the initial recall information. The recall says that loud engine clanking sounds are possible engine failure sounds. I hear those sounds often when shifting from gas to electric modes. I have been driving still knowing this for 6 months and am worried for my safety due to this recall and the lack of timely remedy.

Maverick

This vehicle was purchased in 2021 with a 3 year 36k mile warranty. At 39k miles the truck has started to shut off randomly while driving. It has put us in very dangerous situations and it happens multiple times every day. The vehicle will be driving down the road and suddenly shut off. It will not switch to neutral so cannot be pulled off the road. It will not turn on for at least 20 minutes so we get stuck in the middle of the road. Sometimes it will turn back on but other times it has to be jumped. Ford is telling us that any repairs will not be covered because this brand new car is out of warranty.
