It’s almost like you have to drive these trucks in the far right hand lane only while driving on Highway.
My daughter drove her new 2023 Maverick XL Hybrid for almost 7 months and 9,000+ miles with zero issues...She decided to use her ford pass points and have it serviced and undercoated at the same time at local Omaha Dealership.....Now for the recalls...2 updates installed and less than a week later vehicle stalls at busy traffic light..dash lights/warnings go crazy..limp to Dealership..acts like cruise control is stuck on...very dangerous. Emergency brake locks and violently throws my daughter into the dash..wtf..Dealership has it for a couple of days and returns vehicle.."Good to go", they said...Couple days later same issues and Emergency brake just comes on and ..here we go again, lucky nobody was killed..very dangerous..Now my daughter is terrified to drive this vehicle.!!.Ford customer service has offered some free oil changes and tire rotations...What a joke.....Anyone know a good lawyer?
What recalls were performed the first time before the first loss of power issue?
Thank you for documenting all this! The exact same thing happened to me today while stopped at a light! I was panicking too much memorize all the error messages flashing at me while I blocked traffic in the center laneI can’t believe it.
I drove my truck 1,000 miles without issue after the updates… Updates performed on 3/8/2024.
I was thinking that I was in the clear after reading about the issues after updates on hybrids. Specifically 2022’s. Wonder if the 23’s are having this issue?
I drove it for hours on the freeway without any issues and drove it around the city without any issues after updates until today..
All of a sudden today, in the rain while driving home, suddenly 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….
I almost got into an accident in the rain and school traffic because the people driving behind me were going fast and my truck just suddenly lost power and I had those cars coming from behind that had to swerve out of my way because they were driving crazy (like they always do) and than swerved back in front of me after getting around me, almost hitting me multiple times from the back and than the front driver side.
I managed to get it pulled off to a side street and turned it off and back on and still had no power and all the lights/warnings were still on.
When you press on the gas, it wouldn’t go….
No throttle response.
What’s really crazy is, 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.
I am terrified and scared and worried about my truck now. I had ZERO issues before the updates. I drove it across the country with no issues before the updates…
Now I feel like I can’t trust my beloved truck.
I took it to my dealer right away before turning it off and showed them the issues and they luckily gave me a Bronco Sport loaner.
I’m so worried now about my maverick hybrid.
I should have never gotten those updates done.
This is the most unsafe and dangerous thing that that has ever happened to me in a vehicle.
It happened at total random and its such a major issue/safety hazard that I’ve ever heard of or experienced with any brand of vehicle and I’ve owned dozens of vehicles.
Im at a loss of words, disappointed and literally shaken up because the truck just almost got me into an accident on a 35 MPH road in heavy rush hour/school traffic in the rain, in less than favorable/slick conditions.
Thank god I wasn’t on the freeway like some of you experienced with these same issues at Highway speeds. I couldn’t even imagine this happening on the highway.
When it happens you don’t even know how to react. There’s really nothing you can do besides pull over and hope for the best under these circumstances. It all happens so fast.
This issue is going to end up hurting or worse someone.
total loss of power on the road and than accelerating on its own?
That’s pure insanity.
Now I’m worried that they won’t be able to recreate the issue and give it back to me unresolved and it will just happen again.
please say a prayer for my family and to anyone else’s who is affected by these issues.
It’s an extremely dangerous and worrisome matter.
I’ll be contacting NHTSA and anyone else I can to file complaints tomorrow.
This issue is the worst of any car issue I’ve ever experienced in my entire life and now I wonder, will my truck ever be dependable and reliable ever again? Will I ever be able to trust my beloved Maverick Hybrid ever again?
Did any of you with these issues get it resolved?
What was the fix?
I had the same issue after having the recalls for the turn signal. And I was driving on interstate in fast lane during rush hour. Very scary situation. The ford dealership said they updated/ reprogrammed my truck. They kept it for a week. I have not had any issues since but I don’t trust it anymore. When I do drive on interstate to work I stay in slow lane just in case it goes crazy. I’m thinking about selling it. It was the best truck I ever bought getting 45+ miles per gallon just don’t feel safe anymore.I can’t believe it.

Hi Robert! I can look into your maverick's loss of power concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your maverick's VIN?
FIX THIS ISSUE FOR FORD MAVERICK HYBRIDS!
Talked to dealer but they don’t have a vehicle for me to drive so not sure when it will get fixed. I have to work tomorrow so not sure if I should drive it and chance happening again and getting stranded. The dealer told me not to drive it. So under warranty which includes a rental in my contract but none available? And I can’t drive the Maverick so…
I finally got a response from the dealer and it will be next Monday before they can get me something to drive. So almost a week with no vehicle. This is unacceptable @Ford Motor Company
