I have taken it to the dealer they are blameing the issue on the Falken tires,they said these tires develop a flat spot after sitting for a while. So they didnt think it was going to hurt my vehicle so they where not going to replace them.Seeing how I paid extra for all terrain tires and they installed these tires I don't think that was the correct action on there part.

The rear brakes and rotors have prematurely worn out at only 28k miles, while the front brakes are like new. There is no way for me or any local repair shop to put it into brake service mode. The official Ford procedure does not work. NHTSA issued SSM 51217 acknowledging the issue, but the only solution is only to take it to a Ford dealer to do a simple procedure such as changing rear brake pads. This solution is unacceptable and causes an undue burden upon the customer in time and money for a known manufacturing defect. My closest dealer is 1 hour away. It can not pass my state safety inspection without this being done. Ford should be issuing a recall to address this defect, not simply driving people to the dealer network for basic safety maintenance.

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.

In early April 2023 I opened my driver’s side door and the inside of my 2022 Ford Maverick was wet from the headliner down to the carpets. There WAS condensation throughout the interior of the vehicle even though the Repair Order stated there was none. The inside of the vehicle was damp. All windows were closed tightly. The headliner, back seat, front seat, carpets, and all the interior was damp. I had a book on my back seat that was damp and the pages were curled. There was MOLD underneath the floor mats. I contacted a MOLD specialist who stated that it is impossible to effectively rid a vehicle of MOLD. He stated that MOLD spores are in every crevice of the truck and it WILL return. On April 6, 2023 I took the truck to The Ford Store where I purchased it. There was 1294 miles on the odometer. They could not find the leak. My vehicle was there for several weeks and the interior was completely torn down from the headliner to the carpets. The Service Department finally said that they located the leak area and repaired it. The dealer guaranteed in writing that the MOLD was gone. On June 23, 2024 (today) I was getting ready to take the truck back to The Ford Store for tomorrow’s appointment. They will be addressing the three recalls. I just noticed MOLD under the mats again. The MOLD is on the floor board and is crawling up the footwells under the rubber mats. There is also MOLD on some of the plastic material close to the floor boards. My health and the health of all passengers who have ridden in my vehicle for the last 14 months have been and continue to be at risk. I have been contacted by other Ford Maverick owners who have experienced the same issue. The Ford Maverick Truck Club has many posts about leaks and subsequent MOLD issues.

On Thursday (June 13, 2024) my truck displayed a fault that states Rear Belt Monitor Fault Service Required, at the same time my air bag light came on. I proceeded to work and found a lot of people have had this issue with their Ford Mavericks but have all said it is actually their drivers seatbelt with the issue. My husband thought he would test it to see and while driving he took his seatbelt off, the airbag light and fault went away but also even driving at highway speeds it never told us the seatbelt was off. When he plugged the seatbelt back in my truck indicated that seatbelt 3 was actually plugged in and the fault and airbag light came back on.

RQ24014 · Loss Of Motive Power

Opened Nov 15, 2024 · Closed Oct 10, 2025

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V Battery

On January 31, 2024, The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened a Preliminary Evaluation (PE24002) to investigate loss of motive power allegations in model year (MY) 2021 Ford Bronco Sport vehicles. Consumers reported a loss of engine power accompanied by complete electrical system failure either while driving or after stopping at a traffic light or stop sign. The vehicles generally could not be restarted, and the incidents were commonly diagnosed by dealerships to a failed 12-Volt (12V) battery. On April 12, 2024, Ford issued safety recall 24V-267 covering 456,565 MY 2021-2024 Ford Bronco Sport and MY 2022-2023 Ford Maverick vehicles. The recall addressed loss of motive power resulting from sudden degradation of the 12V battery during the drive cycle. The recall remedy consisted of software updates to the body control module and the powertrain control module. The updated software aimed to provide warning to consumers when the battery is failing and inhibit certain vehicle functions which can lead to loss of motive power incidents. Additionally, Ford removed the existing 12V Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) as both a service component for the subject vehicles and original equipment for newly built Bronco Sport vehicles (during MY 2024 production), replacing it with a more robust absorbed glass mat (AGM) battery. The same AGM battery had been incorporated into Ford Maverick production in late 2022. Following recall 24V-267, ODI received loss of motive power complaints in vehicles that had previously received Ford’s software-based remedy. Consumers reported that they did not receive warnings related to the 12V battery or the vehicle’s electrical system before the loss of power. On November 15, 2024, ODI opened Recall Query (RQ24014) to assess the effectiveness of the 24V-267 recall remedy. On January 19, 2025, Ford issued recall 25V-019 covering 272,817 MY 2021-2023 Bronco Sport and MY 2022-2023 Ford Maverick vehicles. The new recall addressed the same hazard as 24V-267 but required replacement of the existing 12V battery with an AGM battery as the remedy. Ford reported that following the opening of RQ24014, it evaluated several field-returned 12V batteries, and determined that EFBs produced by battery supplier Camel potentially contained internal manufacturing defects causing loss of motive power. Ford further concluded that the software updates provided in the 24V-267 recall remedy were unable to detect battery failures quickly enough to avoid loss of motive power. Vehicles previously within the scope of recall 24V-267, but outside of the scope of recall 25V-019, are equipped with EFBs produced by a different battery supplier (Clarios). When recall 25V-019 was issued, Ford had not identified any Clarios EFBs exhibiting the same failure mode as the Camel EFBs. In light of Ford’s recall action, ODI is closing this Recall Query. The agency will continue to monitor loss of motive power complaints in Bronco Sport vehicles equipped with Clarios EFBs and reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. To review the reports cited in the Closing Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.
