Vehicle enters "Deep Sleep" mode NEARY EVERY DAY and all 12 volt systems such as lighting are not useable. Vehicle will NOT START sometimes when Deep Sleep mode occurs. No matter how much we charge the 12v battery, this deep sleep issue will return within 1 day. Dealer has not fixed this issue after "supposedly" checking it out on a few visits to Livermore Ford Dealership. It has now been over 2 1/2 years of this problem with no fix.
I reported an odor coming from my vehicle and took it to the Ford dealership to get checked. Nothing was found by the dealer. I continued to notice a strong odor. Recently, when cleaning my car, I removed the floor mat and found a puddle of water underneath. I removed a small panel in the dash and could see water leaking when I ran climate control. It was leaking all over multiple electrical components so I have been hesitant to drive. The water will not dry or drain and has begun to mold.
I have a 22 hybrid maverick with ~ 27,000. I was driving back home from out of town and I had already driven for a good two and a half hours. I was passing an 18 wheeler when suddenly my whole truck turned off. The dash, infotainment screen all black. I tried to turn on the hazards but nothing came on. The steering wheel was stiff and I was pressing the brakes as hard as I could but we were barely slowing down. I coasted across the right lane and into the shoulder/grass and finally came to a stop. I turned the truck off and on and a whole bunch of warnings and lights popped up. I turned it off again and when I turned it back on it was like everything was back to normal. I drove the rest of the way home ~ 50 mph. The truck felt awkward when switching from gas to electric and shook a bit when coming to stops. I will be calling the service dept tomorrow.
My 2022 Ford Maverick has a persistent issue with moisture accumulating on the front passenger floorboard, leading to a mildew smell that requires constant deodorizing. This problem has been ongoing since I discovered it around 18,000 miles. Despite taking the vehicle in three times, the issue remains unresolved. The technicians suspected a valve issue on the condenser, allowing moisture in, but couldn't provide a remedy. They mentioned a similar problem with the 2018 F-150, which was eventually resolved through a warranty/recall. I have found multiple online posts describing the same issue. I believe this is a pre-existing issue with all 2022 models. The floorboard gets wet after running the AC for a few hours in warm to hot weather. P.S. Ford conducted a pressure test and said it passed. No resolution for over a year.
My Maverick had water filled in the floor from heavy rain during transport. I waited 2 additional weeks to take delivery. Once I took delivery I was driving around with mold in the carpets on my vehicle for nearly 4 months. Then we had heavy rains again and the same problem resurfaced. I took my car for repair and they kept it for three weeks and returned it repaired. Over the past week-end the carpets are soaked once again with a bad mildew smell and possibly mold. At this point Ford must take some responsibility with this

When I shifted to reverse to leave a parking space, a message popped up on the cluster saying -??Camera Not Available. Contact Dealer.-?? An image then did come up and stayed frozen on the screen for the entire key cycle. The next time I drove the vehicle, the camera operated as intended. Picture attached showing frozen image while vehicle was in Drive gear.
In October 2023, we took our 2022 Ford Maverick to a local Ford dealership for a front airbag recall. However, after we picked up our Maverick and we got home we noticed a deep scratch across the top of the dash and the tool from the technician in the console. We contacted the dealership about this scratch. Our Maverick was taken to the dealership in January 2024 for this repair. Upon the completion of installing the dash, the technician scratched the outside of the driver-??s side front door causing yet another delay. The Maverick was then taken to their body shop (on premises) to repair the scratch and repaint the door. Within a week of having our Maverick back, we started smelling a very foul odor in the truck. This smell made my throat and nose burn and was nauseating while riding in the truck even with the windows down. We went back to the dealership to meet with the owner about this odor. They removed the seats, carpet, and dash to locate the problem. They discovered a place at the bottom of the windshield that had not been sealed from the manufacturing production department. They discovered black mold in the insulation behind the dash near the firewall and under the carpet. They have discussed this with Ford Motor Company on how to handle this problem. Currently our Maverick is still on the lot at the local dealership, since the first week of April 2024. We have reservations about the mold/mildew odor as a health/breathing issue to continue driving this vehicle. Ford Motor Company has been attempting to come to some agreement of handling this situation but not addressing the odor in the vehicle. After some online research of the 2022/23 Ford Mavericks this seems to be a bigger issue across the nation. There are not any recalls to correct this problem for water intrusion into the vehicle.
I-??ve been noticing a frequent issue with my trailer not having the left blinker work per notification it gives. So I gave been checking the information screen for trailer lighting any time that I-??m pulling a trailer just to make sure all of my lights are working. Today, the truck told me all lights were on and working with the trailer. Meanwhile, after getting pulled over and explaining the info the truck is giving and then unplugging and replugging the trailer from the truck to prove that the lights do in fact work I was finally dismissed from the traffic stop. So the truck was telling me that all lights are on and working on the trailer-?? meanwhile there wasn-??t a single light on!!! The issue with the left turn signal light not blinking on a trailer is relative to the truck as well since it only does it on the truck and with a multitude of different trailers/magnetic trailer lights.
Drove my car home and parked in my driveway with no issues. 9 hours later when I was about leaving for work, started the car but car won't start. I jumpstarted the car then all of a sudden the (Drive) Shift knob light was flashing, warnings started flashing, hill start assist not available, service vehicle soon, pre collision assist not available, service advance Trac, and parking brake applied automatically and total loss of power. When I pressed on the gas, it wouldn-??t go and no throttle response. When I let off the brake and was NOT pressing the gas, it would start to accelerate all on its own up to about 28/29 mph all on its own, acting like it was in cruise control
I found mold under my front passenger floor mat. There has been a water leak since u had purchased the vehicle. As of now the dealership has not successfully discovered the source. Vehicle has been in and out of the dealership since Feb 22, 2024.
While driving the vehical at 70 mph it suddenly lost power and all of the warning lights on the dash started to light up, was able to pull over to the side of the road safely. Turned the car off and opened up the door, closed the door and started it back up and the instrument cluster continued to throw signals. Had it towed to the dealership and am awaiting a response.
On 4/27/24 Vehicle went into limp mode after driving for less than 90 seconds. Multiple various errors messages (powertrain, hill assist, collision, check engine) lit up, vehicle was accelerating on its own when in drive. No error messages prior to this incident. Similar incident happened around 3/10/23 while at Ford service for recall software updates but issue was not confirmed at that time. Vehicle is at Ford service now for second incident. Ford service states when the vehicle got a recall completed for the SOBDCM update, it triggered the vehicle to not update fully and causes the warning messages and can force the vehicle to go into limp mode and lose power.
The Dealer did not reveal the unresolved recall on this used vehicle during sales lot inspection. After I pointed out the recall listed on the CarFax report, the dealer did not address the concern nor mention if the recall had been resolved in order to make the used truck ready for resale. The Dealer did not explain how the recall may apply to this specific truck. This vehicle still has this recall active and unresolved at the Fritts Ford Dealership in Riverside, CA Auto Mall. Instead, pushed the Ford PremiumCare Extended Warranty which in the fine print does not include the engine, the battery, or recalls on any components. I have not purchased this vehicle and unlikely to do so at this time due to this serious and dangerous known risk to operating this 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid Truck.
While on [XXX} in Memphis, I lost power and many indicators came up on the dash. I was able to coast at 20mph to dealership. But this could've been way worse. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I think it's a software issue. As of today, I've had the problem three times since having my BCM and PCM reprogrammed. The truck will suddenly loose power and go into some kind of limp mode. The dash screen starts throwing notices in quick succession: low gear only, check advancetrac, hill assist not available, powertrain malfunction/reduced power, pre-collision assist not available, the light indicating what drive mode (reverse, park, drive, etc.) starts flashing and then switches itself from drive to park, and then the parking brake turns itself on.
Just had a recall completed related to software programming in the past 3 weeks. Since then this has occured twice. While driving at highway speeds the vehicle quickly lost/reduced power and slowed down to 20 mph and produced a message that stated " Powertrain malfunction/Reduced power, engine service soon, and precollision assistance not available". This caused me to almost be rear ended and get into an accident with other vehicles on the road. It likely would have resulted in an accident/injury if not for light traffic that day. Ford has stated they cannot reproduce the issue.
Driving on the freeway and lost gas engine power. Had to coast across several lanes of traffic without propulsion to get the the shoulder. Shut off the vehicle and restarted and it has worked fine for the past couple of months.
My Ford Maverick is one of MANY that has a problem with mold. Mold is growing under the dash in the front passenger footwell. This issue is caused by a water intrusion. There is likely a manufacturing issue with the right front of the truck, which allows water in. The truck has had a problem with fogging up quickly since I purchased it new from Ford. My family's safety is at risk because the mold has led each of us to feel sick after riding in the truck. The truck is going in tomorrow for warranty work. Ford MUST recall every single vehicle that is effected. This is a serious health risk. Plus, the defective seam could fail in an accident, leading to injuries or deaths.
Manufacturing defect on the cowl deflector seal causes water to leak into the cabin and pool up on the floor of the passenger side front seat. Significant amount of water. This will result in damage to the carpets, mold issues (health and safety concern) along with possible damage to the electronics that is passes through right under and behind the glove box. Also passes through the cabin air filter box. Many Maverick owners have reported this problem in various internet forums, and yet there has not been a recall. I had to pay the local dealer to reseal this area with silicone due to a faulty design. Ford would not cover the expense. The dealer wanted $900 to dry the carpet.
