2024 Ford Maverick Hybrid

At approximately 10 pm driving on the interstate at approximately 65 mph, I was attempting to accelerate to 70 mph and my speedometer was decreasing in speed even though I had my foot on the accelerator. I had to pull off to the side of the interstate that has a very narrow shoulder. My car was not able to accelerate. I had to turn it off and turn it back on and then it appeared to work as usual. This has happened twice now. I took it into the dealership to have it fixed and they said they updated the control module unit and replaced my battery due to other issues I’ve been having with the car. No warning lights came on, and the car still appeared to be on and in drive when the incident occurred. The component has been inspected and the dealership said they repaired the issue, which was not the case, due to the same thing reoccurring approximately 10 days after the “repair” was made.

The contact owns a 2024 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that while driving up a hill at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power without warning and stalled. The contact was able to coast to the side of the road. The vehicle restarted independently. The contact stated that several days later, while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle stalled and restarted independently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic; however, no cause for the failure was found. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not yet been diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 7,500.

This is the 3rd of 4th time this has happened since owning this truck. While driving at freeway speeds I would lose acceleration. I would step on the gas pedal and nothing would happen. I would have to coast to the side or middle of the freeway. June 11th 2025 around 8am while doing 75 in the HOV lane I lost acceleration and had to stop in the median. After coasting to a stop I would turn off the car and wait about 30 sec then turn car back on. Then continue without furture issues. I took a video of issue but could not upload a .MOV

The rear camera warnings both visual and beeping sound did not activate while backing up. Safety of others was put at risk not warning them that the vehicle was backing up. Because of this failure, I backed into a pole causing the driver's side tail light to be cracked. The problem was reported to Fairway Ford who could not reproduced the failure. They contacted Ford "hotline" and Ford refused to acknowledge the failure. No police report was filed. Ford did not offer to inspect the vehicle. There were no former problems prior to this incident.

Repeated failures of accessory battery resulting in powertrain failures. One incident disabled the response of the accelerator. Acceleration was only achieved by releasing the brake pedal and the vehicle slowly accelerated up to approx 35 mph. Battery has been replaced/repaired by dealer 4 times already, with a 5th pending shortly. Accessing the battery to jump start the vehicle requires lifting the back seat, including detaching car seat installed in the rear of the vehicle.

On 3 separate occasions, the following problem occurred. When towing in back of Motorhome (in neutral tow mode) while making a left turn from a full stop the towed vehicle (Ford Maverick) began to shake violently. The wheels turned opposite direction causing shaking so violently that I felt the motorhome being pulled left and right like a violent wobble. I quickly slowed to a stop and then proceeded slowly forward, and the wheels straightened out and everything was OK again.

On April 5th, 2025 I was driving about 20-30 mph and braking down a slight hill. When I went to accelerate up the other side of the hill the vehicle would not accelerate while pushing on the throttle. There were no check engine lights or errors while the vehicle would not accelerate. I pulled over to the side of the road and turned the vehicle off. Upon restarting the vehicle it appeared to function normally and continued driving for about an hour home. I have not reported the incident to Ford or the dealer.
