***FINAL UPDATE*** Transmission issues

[Mainer500]

When you took off from a stop, sometimes it would kick into neutral and you would be stuck in traffic. Turn the car off and restart it and hope it worked this time. Driving down the freeway, sometimes it would down shift a couple gears with a big bang. And yes it would shudder on acceleration. More so if the transmission was warm. I am experiencing these problems now. Took it to the dealer, but they tell me they can't get the parts to repair it. I am hoping it hangs in a couple more months till I get the Maverick. I will see what they give me on trade in. I had written Ford about the problems with the transmission and they replied with this is the first we heard of the problem. Then found out later that Ford knew they had a bad transmission from the start, but it was cheaper doing the recalls than replacing the transmission.

Check out CarMax for your trade, we got $1,200.00 more then the dealer we have bought all our Fords from for decades (she got $6,200 for her 2016 Ford Fiesta SE with 88K miles on it. Hey 1,200 bucks paid for our Extended Warranty from Flood Ford which was only $1,100, $2,400 LESS then our dealer and I used some of my Ford Pass Points too so I only paid a grand. Good Luck

Got notice today that my truck has finally been built. Probably another month to ship. Right now in this heat the car is running good. Have to clean it up and see what I am offered for the focus. Hate to get rid of it, recently got around 47mpg on a trip.

Exactly like mine, but worse. Mine would rev up to around 3-4k for a second it two, then finally catch and drive mostly normal after it.

Ford official account? Thanks for the only email 10 months after your acknowledgement email of my order, appreciation of my patience. It really helps the disdain of your customer service.

I agree! Ford really needs to do much better with communication and updates for those of us "patiently waiting".

I have just received word from ford service department that they will likely be performing a full trans replacement

Just read this thread. My '22 xlt 2.0 eb awd mav with 5500 miles has been having weird drivetrain (transmission) issues. Reading this thread explains most of the weird issues i am having when putting it in reverse and accelerating from a stop. I am fearing that I am headed for a transmission failure event. I hate owning a vehicle I dont trust on road trips. We will see where these problems lead

That's exactly what annoys me the most. I bought a new vehicle because I did want to worry if it would start every morning. Unfortunately, my Maverick has not left me with that trust.

Hey, K9rasco! I would like to like to into this issue you’re experiencing with your Maverick. Could you please send over a private message with your VIN and the name/location of your local Ford dealer?

I had similar issue, thump and loud grinding from the engine compartment. I took it to the dealership and it’s been sitting there for over 30 days with no action. Service on the hybrid seems to be an issue- they only have one mechanic qualified to work on a hybrid. I can’t even get an estimate on when they will look at it. Very disheartening.

Any new status to report?

Hey OP, if you're still even around...I know this is really old now, but any further issues after they replaced it? I'm coming up on 55K miles on mine...
