Hybrid Transmission Problem getting worse

[MDRN]

So I have the same breaking issues at low speed as everyone else. It sounds awful and catastrophic but it doesn't seem to have a fix right now.

My bigger concern is that that with increasing regularity I am applying the brake pedal and once stopped the transmission keeps trying to push the vehicle forward. It causes a mild shudder as the transmission is trying to drive and the vehicle forward against resistance. It then cycles back and forth like you are trying to rock the truck to get it rolling by hand. This reminds me of when I learned to drive a stick (decades ago...) and would try to slip the clutch when you are on a hill and you get the little engagement then back off (and repeat in this case).

My vehicle has 3,054 miles on it today.
It has been happening over a month.
No, this is not residual inertia from stopping the vehicle, it will happen after being stopped for a minute or two as well.
No it doesn't matter if it's cold or warmed up, it's happening in both states.
No it does not matter if the climate control (A/C) is on or off.


I love the truck and I am not trying to get a forum diagnosis, but it seems the only way you get @Ford Motor Company attention is to be the first poster of a thread. It would be good to know if anyone else is having this issue also.

Have you taken to a dealer for diagnosis? Probably best to go for a test drive with someone from the service dept so you can be certain they understand/duplicate your concern.

The earliest appointment available was October 11. That was back when I got the recall notice at least 2 weeks ago.

Yikes. I know scheduling is hard for many dealerships right now. And parts availability. Is it your selling dealership?? Maybe your salesman could pull some strings and get someone to diagnose it earlier?

My salesman is a 6.5 hour drive away.

It's scheduled at the only dealership around that didn't lie, steal or do absolutely nothing to my Escape when I brought it in previously.

That doesn't help then!

I quickly glanced through "solved" Ford Tech Assistance Center contacts..... I can't find anything related to this concern. I am not a technician....so I have limited experience. Nothing jumps out to me.

Good luck!

That's really concerning! No, I haven't experienced anything like this after 6+ months and almost 5000 miles, but it's added to the ever-growing list of things to look out for. I feel for you, OP, not having the dealer nearby where you can easily pop in and get some much needed attention to the matter. Please keep us updated!

Hi, Michael. Please send over a private message with your VIN and the name/location of your local Ford dealer so I can look into this on my end.

Well sounds like Ford CVT transmission in the Ford Maverick may be as big a problem as the Nissan CVT has been through the years....................I never did trust CVT

You must be trolling.

2.0 EB Transmission just said goodbye

Guess the EcoBoosts' 8-speed transmission must be a big problem because one person had a failure.

Not only are you a troll, but your dunderheadedness reveals your extreme lack of understanding between a conventional CVT (Nissan), and the Ford eCVT. The two are nothing alike.
