My one month old Lariat. No kidding. February 19th purchased and March 21st hit by a guy without breaks. Airbags deployed, windows and doors unlocked, and the truck called 911 immediately! I was so impressed that I said “wow” while on my side. Thankfully, everyone was okay. I’m just so impressed with the safety of this truck.

Ford Maverick T-boned and flipped at intersection. Impressed with Maverick safety IMG_4547

Probably worse Maverick crash we have seen on this site...Really sorry...hopefully no one was injured. Most new cars are built to save lives.

You must be skinny to squeeze out through the sunroof.

It sure saved mine! The guy hit me hard!! I was more upset that the truck is only a month old.

Yeah that sucks totally feel your pain on the one month old truck. Sadly some people just drive like morons and or don't maintain their vehicles.

Yup. He didn’t maintain his vehicle. He claimed he had the breaks fixed the week before. Guess he didn’t.

That's terrible. I'm glad you're okay.
Thankfully you were doing well enough, to be walking around.
I would still go see a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine.
Lot of times problems don't crop up for a day or so.
I'm glad the truck did what it was supposed to do.
Out of curiosity how old was the other driver male/female?
I don't believe for one minute the brakes failed.



I'll bet the driver of the second car also claim that their brakes failed.

So sorry to read the OP. Then enlightened to read no one got hurt. The good thing is, I can see a new truck for you in the future. Still the main thing is it probably saved your life. No telling what the outcome would have been if you were in a different vehicle.

One of those cases that pays to have "non-insured motorists" insurance coverage on your own insurance. So often those types of brake jobs are DIY or an amateur mechanic.

Thankfully insurance is going to work out.
