2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid

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.

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.

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.
