My CV axle saga

[1Guy1Truck]

Worst vehicle you’ve ever owned because of a cv failure? I used to own a Jeep wrangler. U-joint failures on the front axle are common. It’s analogous to a CV failure in the Maverick. Did I get upset and vent to the internet over it? Nope. It was a known issue. I did the same thing everyone else was doing; I drove the stock u-joints until they failed, about 25k miles, then I replaced the u-joints with stronger RCV brand CV axles.

likewise, when my maverick cv joints inevitably fail, I’ll let the dealer cover them if I’m still under warranty, and if not, I’ll use my own cash to get the stronger tremor cv joints to replace them.

No, I also had to have the engine and transmission pulled to replace the engine dampener in the first 20k.

My 2024 Maverick AWD has a leaking passenger side CV axle boot leak. 20,100 miles. I do my own oil changes so I caught this and have only driven it about 2,000 miles. Taking it in tomorrow.

I checked the CV axles and boots at 59k miles and were all good. I went to change oil at 63k miles and the the passenger CV boot is throwing grease. Dealer can't get axles for unknown time period and I can't find any either. Truck will sit in my garage until I can find one. I'm lucky that I have an extra vehicle. Let me know if anyone finds CV axle NZ6Z-3B436-F.

Have your dealer order because it’ll be quicker than they say. They told me 1 month, it was 1 week.

I just got my truck back getting the driver side CV axle replaced on my MY22 Hybrid. Dropped it off last night, and they had the part to fix it and replaced it this morning. I must have gotten really lucky hearing some people are waiting weeks for theirs to come in.

UPDATE: Both axles are now upgraded and replaced with the new ford part. Shaking is gone and seems to be back to normal. Wait time was 3 weeks for passenger side and 1 week for driver side.

Thanks for the update. I am taking my 24 in tomorrow.

Any change to your part numbers? My driver's side that was replaced has the same as it came with.

Unfortunately I don’t know what the original number was.

Mine was supposedly swapped with the latest part. I have the screenshot with the part number somewhere back in the thread.

I just got back from the dealership and the part is still on back order and so the wait begins.

That’s great news! Your truck should be up and running flawlessly for at least the next 20,000 miles.

like many others I am dealing with bad cv axles. Took my truck in when I noticed the shaking upon acceleration and it was confirmed a passenger side cv axle. I asked if they could replace both and was told no. Waited 3 weeks for the new and improved cv axle while still continuing to drive on it. Was installed today and just got the call that it’s better but still present. So as predicted they now said the driver side is bad and the part is 1 month out. Again, they told me to continue driving it. Who knows what damage is being done to related components while driving. I’m sure it will be something else after the driver side is repaired.
this is only one of many issues I’ve had with this thing. Worst vehicle I’ve ever owned. If you’re on the fence about a maverick , don’t do it.

Having the same issues, dealership will not preorder parts until determined. Have appt. on Monday the 13th of JAN. just for inspection. Vibration when accelerating, more on high end. 22,900 miles.

I'm not happy with mine either. The dome lights aren't working again and this is with a new BCM, new negative cable with the monitor thing in it, all the updates, and I put an AGM battery and changed the settings that helped others. I also had to change my axles at 32k. It also took my dealer FIVE visits to diagnose the rattling rear sliding window, which I told them was the problem on visit 1, which was finally solved by replacing it.

If there was a competitor I would switch. Unfortunately no one seems interested in making one, so I'm waiting on my '25 to show up to the dealership to trade in my '22 on. Hopefully they ironed out some of these issues for the refresh.

Zacatac - I agree - I don't understand why the likes of Toyota hasn't jumped into the compact truck game.

When shopping for your '25, I think there will be some price flexibility. My small, local dealer that is not known for low prices shows an in-stock '25 EB XLT with a -$500 discount online.
