Brake Issues

[Mymaverick2021]

Aloha,
I have just 500 Miles on my Hybrid and I've noticed that when I'm stuck in morning traffic sometimes as I apply the brakes they seem like they lock up for a second and then they seem OK. Anybody else have experienced the same thing or am I just not to driving a Hybrid (1st one)

The front brakes

The hybrids at very slow creeping speeds seem to have glitchy brakes. The Instances vary and are random enough as to be likely difficult for Ford to reproduce and issue what I assume is a software fix.

It will get better once you get more used to driving a hybrid! But the brakes can still act funny once and a while even when you are used to the hybrid

I don't have a hybrid, but I have issues with my brakes that I noticed at roughly 700 miles. There is a very loud high pitched squeak sound when I lightly apply my brakes. I have had them inspected at the dealership and they say it is the brake pads. Parts have been ordered, but will take almost a month for them to arrive.

I have the same problems. The dealership said they couldn't hear anything. After a few days the brakes started making noise again. Its only the front brake on the driver side. I plan on going back to the dealership at some point

It is the truck. A little bit glitchy but not to the point of being a problem for me.

The mechanical brake is grabbing when near full stop. The engine is slowing you down otherwise. You have to get used to it.

Hi there. Can you send us a DM with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into this for you.

Sometimes I've found the transition from regenerative to hydraulic (traditional) brakes to be a little rough. But it's something you get used to.
