My 24 Ford Maverick Hybrid goes into deep sleep so it will not start after sitting for a few days,i have to run a battery tender or battery goes below a certain voltage number and it then goes into deep sleep.Been to dealer twice for same problem they charge the battery and they say it past's Ford's test but you don't drive a few days and goes back into sleep mode unable to start or drive vehicle. I do not drive vehicle everyday but you can not rely on it to work if sitting for a few days to a week.My sales person said Ford is suppose to have a fix first quarter of 2025 but not sure this will happen i hope like hell it does.Been trying to get Ford to replace the battery under warranty so far no luck,but they still need to fix the charging system or get a fix to maintain battery s it does not go dead and leave owner's stranded.

I have a 2024 Ford Maverick Lariat Hybrid with only 1880 miles on it and every 3 days the battery drains from 99% down to 39%. I keep getting the Deep Sleep messages and the dealer refuses to replace the battery. I even got a message saying to drive the vehicle on a day when the vehicle was at the dealer and had been started and driven 6xs that day. Ford released a communications to Service depts but not a fix. Their solution is for the consumer to take their truck to the dealer every 3 days instead of replacing a bad battery. I took truck to dealer 12/31/24, 1/2/25, 1/6/25, and called 1/9/25. First time tech said battery test at 99% then on [XXX] when it was at 39% and he saw the "Drive the vehicle" messages, he started to believe me. Ford needs to fix this because after the 4th time taking it to the dealer and not getting it fixed, it will qualify as a Lemon in TX under the Lemon Law INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My 2024 Ford Maverick manufactured 9/24 has failed to unlock on two separate occasions with key fob and the interior lights failed to come on when I unlocked the driver door with the mechanical metal key. When I checked the charge status of my battery it was depleted below 75%. I also noticed that the battery was a flooded acid type and is installed under the rear seat within the passenger compartment. The placement of a flooded acid type of battery in the passenger compartment poses a significant danger and risk of acid exposure in the event of a collision.

It happened twice in 3 days. The first time I lost electrical power, the battery died. I use a trickle charger to recharge it for 4 hours, then it functioned as normal for one day, I went to the dealer for service and they looked at it and said there was nothing wrong and sent me home. On the third day, it died again. All electrical power was lost, the car was locked up, and could not be shifted to neutral for towing. It is now sitting at my driveway waiting for Ford roadside service to tow it to a dealer for diagnostic and services.

The vehicle goes into what they call a sleep mode. It shuts systems down to save the battery. At this point, it’s more of a nuisance than a major problem.

The vehicle goes into what they call a sleep mode. It shuts systems down to save the battery. At this point, it’s more of a nuisance than a major problem. Fortunately, every time I got in the vehicle, it started and was fine but what happens is it shuts down all the remote functions, you can’t use your app on the phone go to get in the car at night the interior lights aren’t working. It’s pitch black, just a inconvenience but Ford has no answer that answer was to shut down all the remote functions on the car to me that doesn’t make sense. Why have those features if you can’t use them?
