Took my truck to a dealer because it was shaling while driving. I went to have the tires checked balanced and rotated twice before take to ford service. While the tires were off second time I noticed it looke dlike fluid was leaking from drivers side front axle area. I informed the dealer service advisor of this when i dropped it off and left it all day to be looked at and diagnose the problem.

after work i went to pick it up and they informed me that the passenger side cv boot axle needs replacing. They said they ordered the part and it will arrive in a few days. I took it back to have it removed and replaced. Upon picking up the truck the second time after they replaced the passenger side axle they informed me that the technician noticed a leak on the drivers side - the one I told them was leaking when i dropped it off the first time- and that they ordered the opart and it would arrive in a couple weeks and that my maverick was safe to drive in the mean time.

Three weeks later they do not have the part and do not know when it will be in. At this point i was pissed of and not wanting to drive my truck that shakes when accelerating. I called ford and the dealer numerous times. The parts person wanted me to pay extra to buy it from a dealer even though its under warranty. i said no. I decided to go to the dealer when the service manager would not take my calls or call me back.

The service manager drove my truck and said he thinks it was misdiagnosed and is actually something wrong with the rear axle but they need to troubleshoot it. This evening i dropped it off to be looked at to determine the issue tomorrow. They provided me a loaner car.

I will keep y'all informed

Well the loaner car helps. They do sound a bit shakey.

Interesting I haven’t heard of any hybrids with rear suspension issues.

Wait-

There is no REAR axle on a hybrid maverick...
thats what i thought but this guy said it has the same rear axle as the ford bronco and the broncos are know to be bad. That is exactly what the service manager told me.

From watching this forum, it appears all Mavericks may have front axle concerns, have seen it mentioned on hybrids and Ecoboosts...My truck decided to shake when getting on highway last week, but hasn't acted up since, I immediately thought of CV joint concern...(hence, why there is a parts backlog for axle shafts)...my truck has 11k on it...almost 2 years old

Hi there, I'd be happy to look into your Maverick concerns on my end. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into things on my end.

I guess the service manager does not know much about the hybrid. Not sure what else to think or say about that.

Maybe check the reviews of the Ford dealerships say within 100 miles, including the one you are dealing with. I don't think I would go much further with these guys.

too late, I already left my truck there last night and took the loaner car from them. There are three other dealers within an hor drive and none would provide a loaner car and the earliest any of them could look at my vehicle was november 27th.
