Holy crap, the brakes in the hybrid are actually pretty smooth now, and the shudder is gone. I hope this is a permanent improvement, night and day difference my friends.

Yup, local dealer came out and did the updates. The "tech" had no clue what the updates were for but the low speed braking is like a normal car now.
Are you talking about software updates done on the truck through WiFi, or updates that the dealer has to do?
My 2023 delivered in August 2023 has had no brake issue and i was looking for it. I assume it has the latest software. So it sounds like software does really fix the issue. I was worried when i got mine the past August.

The software updates are TSB updates and can only be done at a Ford Dealership.
Any of the TSB updates done have all modules updated to the latest versions and they fix a number of annoying issues for the 2022 Hybrid Maverick.
The WiFi update you mention is only for the Infotainment system.
There are a lot of posters here who complain about issues like "Grabby Brakes" or "Sudden Shudder" but refuse to take their Maverick in to the dealership to have the modules updated that fix these issues.
Hopefully the OP's message of:
will get them and others to take advantage of the updates fixing their issues.

Test it out in the rain and let us know how it performs.

I bought my Maverick secondhand. Is there anyway to check if the updates were done?
Same here. I got mine in later July and have zero issues with braking. I’m assuming these that the update is helping are older builds.

If you ask your dealership to install the software modules pertaining to the grabby brakes and shudder, they should know what you're talking about. The braking experience is definitely more linear now. My maverick used to do this thing where you'd hit the brakes, and it wouldn't really come to a complete stop, you'd still be rolling forward a little bit. Then you'd hit the brakes a little harder, and it would jolt to a stop. That's basically gone now from what I can tell.

Updates the dealer has to do, but it only takes a few hours more or less.

You could take it to the dealership and ask if they could check. I'm sure there has to be a way they can tell.

I picked my Maverick up the middle of October and brakes seem fine. It was raining and at first stop leaving dealership I thought they grabbed. I think it was that I am not used to good brakes. My 07 Focus rear brakes are not that great. Parking brake barely holds. It took a little while to get used to a strong braking system.

Do you know how to check what software version a Maverick is currently running? Or does that have to be checked by dealership as well?
