2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid

On [XXX] my husband was traveling on [XXX] in Pennsylvania between mile markers [XXX] and [XXX], on cruise control driving 75mph. As he was starting up a steep incline, the Maverick (without warning) started to lose speed, went into LIMP mode (power to engine failed ) and the dashboard lit up with several different errors. He was in heavy traffic and had to swerve to the left median to pull over to safety, narrowly avoiding an accident. He did a vehicle inspection to ensure all fluids were still intact, wires were secure, etc. and did not detect anything wrong. He let the Maverick sit for 15 minutes and started the vehicle. The Maverick started with no issues, so he assumed it was a fluke and continued driving to reach his destination of Upstate NY from West Virginia. Before he could reach the NY border, his Maverick suddenly went into LIMP mode again while traveling up another incline on cruise control (also at 75mph). This time he was able to swerve to the right median to avoid causing an accident. He followed the same steps as before, and the Maverick turned on again without issue. He continued his drive to NY and was able to successfully make it without using cruise control. He brought it to our local Ford Dealership in Hagerstown, MD (the Ford dealerships in NY did not have capacity to assess the Maverick as we were only in NY for a couple of days). Our local Ford Dealership was not able to find anything wrong with the Maverick and said because they could not generate the same errors there was nothing they could do. We did show the the history of the errors as it's all contained on the Ford App, but they dismissed it as they couldn't figure it out. This happened again on [XXX] driving down [XXX] between mile markers [XXX]-[XXX], in a construction zone. He was thankfully able to pull over, narrowly avoiding getting rammed by a semi truck behind him. Our dealership refuses to help us fix the error.

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

While driving at approximately 40mph, the 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid suddenly went into "Limp Mode" with speed instantly dropping to approximately 10mph. Did not lose power, the dashboard stayed lit but showed no warnings. Vehicle would not accelerate above 10mph. This happened without warning. I pulled over and shut off the vehicle then restarted it and after that, it operated fine. If I had been driving on a highway at a higher speed I could have had a major accident. Currently trying to get a service appointment, waiting on a call back from the Ford dealer Service Manager. Again, there were no warnings or error messages before or after the problem occurred.

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.

3/28/24 My 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid’s engine shut down and lost acceleration driving 70-80 miles an hour on a highway going through hills after 100 miles. Vehicle displayed a bunch of dashboard alerts as it soon lost all acceleration and would only drive slowly in Electric mode. I pulled over and tried again, but it was stuck in electric mode with barely any acceleration and displayed Check engine, service vehicle, bring to the dealer, etc., and a few other alerts. I shut off the engine and tried it again 5 min later, and it was still in electric mode. I shut it off again and waited around 15 minutes while trying to get roadside service using my Ford App, which showed local dealers but I could not find any towing service. Then, after the truck cooled down, ~15 minutes, it started up fine, and I could drive it. The engine shut down again after about another hour, displaying the same dashboard alerts as seen earlier. I pulled way over, shut everything down, and waited 10-15 min or so , and it started and ran fine to get me home in 30 min or so. I brought it to the Ford dealer the next day, 3/29/24, it took them 8 business days, and they said it was fixed on 4/9/24; they replaced the Battery/ Smart junction box.

On April 1, 2024, while using cruise control going uphill on the interstate in heavy traffic, the truck went into LIMP mode without warning, and multiple lights appeared on the dashboard. Once I swerved over to the side of the road I turned the truck off, let it sit for 15 minutes and turned it back on. Turning it back on allowed the truck to get out of LIMP mode, but the check engine light remained. This happened several times on my drive, but I was able to finally finish my drive several hours later. Next day, all lights on the dashboard were off. The ford dealership could not determine the source of the issue or recreate the issue. This is a major concern as this issue put my safety at risk and could have caused a major accident on a major interstate, putting others’ safety at risk as well. On April 23, 2024, I went to start the truck, and the battery was dead. I confirmed no lights were on to drain the battery, and from April 23, 2024 forward, my power windows randomly stop working.

I had just filled up my truck with gas and started driving to work today and the truck went into limp mode. It flashed a low gear warning, then started to slowly stop, all of the system alarms went off, including the check engine light. There were so many pop-up's I can't recall them all. I was able to pull over and start slowing down before it engaged the emergency brake and I experienced a hard stop. I turned the truck off and back on with no help. I turned the truck off again and opened the door, then shut the door and turned the truck back on and the brake was then turned off but check engine light still on. When I put the truck in drive it would start to accelerate without me pressing the gas. I pulled over again and turned the truck off again and back on. This time the truck behaved more normally but the check engine light is still on. Not sure if this is related to last recall service I recieved.
