I picked up my 24' Hot Pepper Maverick Hybrid Lariat with lux package on Feb 12 and have driven it 1525 miles as of today. No issues, love the ACC features, the automatic hold at stoplights, and the 45 mpg on almost 3 tanks.

I got my Lariat Hybrid in December and have had no issues. Getting 45 mpg in mostly urban driving. Impressive!

2024 Lariat Hybrid - 8000 miles since Jan 25 no real issues. Some squeaks and bumping that I needed to resolve but that is about it. I did have to replace the windshield because apparently the freeway I travel on to work HATES me and likes to throw rocks and ladders at the truck.
I've had my 2024 XL Hybrid for about a month. Just washed it at a self-service coin operated car wash with pressure sprayer. Afterwards there was water on the driver side floorboard. Couldn't tell where it came from. Glad I replaced the factory carpet mats with rubber ones. But I detest water leaks and hope this doesn't become an issue.

2024 XLT lux pkg picked up Mar 11th, 2024, 5650 miles. Went out Tuesday (May 7th) to a dead truck. Turned on the key and nothing at all. Called roadside service. He hooked up his jump start and the battery only had 5.6 volts. As soon as he turned his jumpstart on, the truck came alive and started right up. Took it to our local dealer who approved a rental for us. Will wait to see what the find.

Dang, sorry to hear. You'd think by now this would be a non issue. It's something with the cowl seal. Not sure if it's a parts or an install problem. If install, your at mercy of whoever installed that day...
I really need to test mine as it stays garaged.
Was the water pretty instant to see or do you think it's been accumulating overtime and it's reached point of noticing ?
Edit: went down the rabbit hole of looking for solutions to problems I don't even know I have. It seems that most of these are related to the cowl air intake and maverick shares part with escape I think. Here is a good picture of the part I was able to find. There is clearly a seal , hooks ? And some clips. I bet either seals are damaged or part isn't fully set https://www.fordescape.org/threads/...seat-rather-than-installed-in-the-car.122845/
This video at 3:08 shows the part I believe. Easy to see where it could leak if it's not sealed properly
I wish someone on this forum had access to the dealer / service portal. I find it hard to believe that there is no hints from Ford as to where to look at this point.

2024 XLT with check engine light came on with 734 miles on odometer. Turned out to be the heat exchanger in the exhaust system. Fully covered by warranty. I now have 1,400 miles on odometer no other issues so far. Great gas mileage.
Yes the water appeared on the floorboard immediately after doing the car wash. Thanks for posting the video and picture, as I had no idea what a cowl seal is until now. I hope I don't have to dismantle and replace something on a brand new vehicle. I'm just going to keep an eye on it for now. I don't have a garage so it's exposed to the elements.
Id take the cowl off and inspect that guard piece close up and make sure its even completely installed. I actually took took out my cabin filter and could see those two metal clips shown in the picture engaged (they engage on the bottom). Upper portion has the hooks which I can't see because didn't remove the cowl. I'd think if those hooks arent fully set or the clips, then you are not getting a good seal resulting in a leak.
At minimum remove your cabin air filter and try to look at the clips and see if they are set or if you see something out of place....Removing the cowl looks easy and if you are handy its probably better than going to the dealer.
Lastly with everything attached except for cabin filter, you could pour some water on the cowl and see if its coming in...

The strange thing is that I drove in rain last week and didn't notice any water. Great trouble shooting recommendations though. As soon as I get time I'm going to inspect and do some testing as you suggested.
At self service car wash you are most likely spraying water into the mesh inlet under the hood (which you are allowed to do) on the cowl and in general spraying a lot more volume around that area. Its all related to volume and reaching above where the seal isnt intact.

I took delivery of my XLT in Jan 2024 and now have 3800 miles with no problems.
I wrote about my 2024 Ford Maverick issues in this post: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/f...service-required-hybrid-cvt.19113/post-844355. But the TLDR is that I ordered a 2024 XLT Hybrid, had it for two days and 263 miles, and had to have it towed out of my driveway due to a SHIFT SYS Fault and e-brake. The service writer called today and ordered the part; however, it is on backorder with no ETA.
