Claynik:
I have written ad nauseum about this issue in this forum. Iām in Northern California and I took delivery on January 22, 2022 of a Hot Pepper Lariat.
That winter we had massive rainfall and it rained inside my truck from the headliner to the carpets. My dealership tore it down...
I would have to dig out the repair orders for an accurate answer. By memory it was a seal up in the front area around the passenger door. Donāt quote me! š
I have a 2022 Lariat (took delivery January 2022) and it leaked terribly inside during the winter of 2022.
It was raining INSIDE the cab from the top down. The dealership had it for 3 weeks before they located the leak. There was water under the carpets and mold had formed. They tore it...
Heyā¦.
Still having trouble? I usually love winter but this year I am not looking forward to the rain since my truck is not garaged.
My latest issue is that the radio went dead so no backup camera. I think that was service visit six or seven. Wondering if this is from the leak. Iām on...

Report the issue to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA). They want to hear from Ford Maverick owners with water leaks. You can fill out the form online.
These vehicles have mold even though you canāt see it. You need to get it documented with NHTSA while still in...
JJ:
I am in the same boat as you are and so are many others.
The best thing everyone can do is to report this issue (especially the mold) to NHTSA. They want to hear from us.
Go online and file a report. Itās very easy! Good luck!!
That looks fantastic! WAY better than the installed hard rolling factory Tonneau that I bought from Ford. It was cut too short so near the tailgate was constantly wet.
Dealer tried to fix it but it didnāt work. I took it back for the second time and now itās too short near the body...

I got the Lariat back yesterday after 20 days in the shop. They had torn it all apart from the headliner to the carpets. The interior and exterior were filthy and the headliner had fingerprints all over it. They found mold in the carpet.
I brought the Service Manager to see it and he said...
My 2022 Hot Pepper Lariat has been in the Ford repair shop for 19 days today. It only has 1294 miles on it.
It was raining INSIDE the truck and now there is mold. Every surface was wet. Both attorneys that I have spoken with so far want my case. I am in California. One attorney is in...
Check out the thread for water leaks and mold. I suspect that there will be some lemons from that group (of which I am one).
The water issues are getting traction here and on Facebook, Reddit, and YouTube. The mold complaints will eventually make it to NHTSA due to health hazards.
No...
Not sure if this question was for me but my Maverick is a 2022 Lariat Eco.
Is there any way in this truck site to consolidate all of the issues about water/mold?
Elduchey:
My Maverick is now on day 13 in the Ford shop. They cannot find the leak. They provided a rental as of last week. I saw mold in the photos.
This is most likely much bigger than a few of us here on this site. It is also on Facebook, Reddit, and YouTube.
Some suggest it...
WHY are there so many posts about water leaks and Ford isnāt addressing the issue?
My 2022 Lariat that Iāve had for 15 months only has 1294 miles on it. It has been at the dealership for 11 days and they cannot locate the leak. It was soaked inside from the front windshield to the back window...
Bill:
All great ideasā¦.thanks!
This is the first time it has been in for the leak. I think under the Lemon Law I have to
have three visits and give them time to repair it which up to this point isnāt going too well.
I had no idea this was happening for the last fifteen months. When I...
Bill,
Thanks so much for all of the information about your water situation. Loved the Twinkie, steak, and cigar reference! š¤£
I received another call yesterday that they still cannot locate the leak. It is in a state of interior tear down with everything removed.
I am trying NOT to lose my...
My 2022 Lariat is going on its third week in Fordās service department. I have a severe interior water leak and they cannot find the source. All of my interior was wet from top to bottom and front to back.
Did your problem ever get solved and did you have any water inside on the...
Hi Bill:
My 2022 Lariat is going into the third week in the shop because the service department at my dealership cannot locate the leak.
I have a severe interior water issue. Could you private message me where you took your Maverick? I would like to have my service manager contact your...
I have the same problem with my 2022 Hot Pepper Lariat only I donāt have a sunroof. My interior looks just like the original poster.
The water in my truck was running down the back window, the back seats were wet, all the windows were dripping, including the mats. Iāve had it 15 months and...
