2024 FORD MAVERICK

BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018-2022 Transit Connect, 2019-2020 MKZ, Edge, Continental, F-150, Nautilus, Fusion, 2019-2023 Ranger, Mustang, 2020-2021 EcoSport, Expedition, Navigator, 2020-2022 Escape, F-250 SD, Corsair, 2020-2023 Aviator, Transit, 2020-2024 Explorer, 2021-2024 Bronco Sport, and 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles. A software error may cause the rearview camera to display a blank image, or the image may remain on the display after the backing event has ended.

Risk: A rearview camera that displays a blank image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle. A rearview image that continues to be displayed after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse may distract the driver. Both of these situations can increase the risk of a crash.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 23V-848. In the event that one of the rear turn signals stops working, the vehicle will not adjust the turn signal flash rate frequency to warn the driver that a turn signal has failed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Risk: A nonfunctioning exterior turn signal cannot notify other drivers that the vehicle is turning, increasing the risk of a crash.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Maverick, 2022 Escape, and 2021-2022 Lincoln Corsair vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 24V-330. The Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HPCM) software may cause the vehicle to shift into neutral unexpectedly, causing a loss of drive power.

Risk: A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 24V-293. The body control module (BCM) may inadvertently deactivate one or both rear tail lights.

Risk: Rear tail lights that fail to illuminate can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Maverick, Ford Bronco Sport, and Mustang Mach-E vehicles. The front windshield wiper motor may become inoperative, causing the wipers to fail.

Risk: Inoperative windshield wipers can reduce visibility in certain conditions, increasing the risk of a crash.

CHILD SEAT:VEHICLE TETHER ANCHOR

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2024 Maverick vehicles. The second-row child seat tether anchors may not properly secure a child seat, due to incomplete thread engagement. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."

Risk: A child seat that is not secured properly increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Ford Maverick vehicles equipped with Connected Touch Radios (CTR). The rearview camera image may freeze when the vehicle is in reverse.

Risk: An inoperative rearview camera display can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Maverick, 2020-2022 Escape, and 2021-2022 Lincoln Corsair vehicles. The Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HPCM) software may cause the vehicle to shift into neutral unexpectedly, causing a loss of drive power.

Risk: Rear tail lights that fail to illuminate can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2024 Maverick vehicles. The fuel tanks may have an open pinch joint between the two molds, which can allow fuel to leak.

Risk: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a vehicle fire.

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2024 Maverick vehicles. The tire and loading information label may state the incorrect vehicle capacity, tire pressure, and spare tire size. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

Risk: Incorrect tire and capacity information may result in the vehicle being overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash.

POWER TRAIN

While traveling on an interstate highway at night, my gas 2024 Ford Maverick Lariat unexpectedly shifted into neutral. I was not sure what was happening as the truck began to slow even while I was accelerating, I then realized it was in neutral. While still traveling at approximately 40 mph I shifted back into drive and everything was ok.

STRUCTURE:BODY

After parking next to a gas pump to refuel, I twice pulled the hood-release handle on the left-side kick panel to check under-hood fluids. The gas pump did not accept my payment, so I drove to a second pump which also did not accept my payment. At this point I drove to a second gas station. As I approached 35 mph moving air suddenly caught the unlatched hood, then lifted and flipped it until it landed against the windshield. The hood severely obscured my view while the vehicle was still. Even so, I was able to peek under it enough to limp into a restaurant parking lot, where I stopped the vehicle and moved the hood back to its locked position. The hood latch mechanism does not incorporate a secondary safety hook designed for release while standing in front of the vehicle grill. Nor does the vehicle have an instrument cluster warning light or a DIC (driver information center) alert like it does for a passenger-compartment door not fully closed. Ideally, the vehicle should have an electronic interlock that prevents driving it until the hood is fully closed.

Truck is draining its battery after sitting in a downtime period. (6-12 hours) leaving me stranded. This has happened more than 20 times since 12/26/2024. I DO HAVE INFORMATION TO SUBMIT FOR SHOP (VISITS), HOWEVER AT THE TIME I AM FILLING THIS OUT I HAVE NO WAY TO ENTER THAT INFORMATION HERE. THE SHOP HAS HAD THE VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES AT THE LONGEST 20days STRAIGHT, UNKNOWN HOW MANY DAYS TOTAL. Most of the shop visits concluded with either battery charges OR battery changes. I have been told by Ford Dealership Maintenance Shop many times they have no idea what is going on with the vehicle. I have digital proof from the Ford app when this happens. My concern is that I have noticed that Ford is removing Digital information off of the app that supports my case. ALSO, They have started to “lose my paper work” when I go to pick up my vehicle from their shop. My vehicle has ONLY been to the dealership shop where I purchased it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

On the Maverick hybrids there has been a battery issue since they first came out in Dec. '21. I first had a 2022 hybrid and would get the message "vehicle is in battery saver mode" frequently. When this would happen I would have no interior lights when I opened the doors and could not start the vehicle or check any information, tire pressure, fuel, etc through my phone app. So charge battery and drive and the message goes away. The dealer did replace the battery once since it was defective. I kept that truck for 26 months and then purchased a 2024 Maverick hybrid in Feb '24 thinking this issue would be resolved. Nope, issue was worse if anything. Started getting the same issue in just a few months. Dealer checked and replaced a defective battery in October 2024. Within 5 weeks started getting the same issues again. Dealer said battery checks good. There seems to be either a parasitic drain on the battery, a software issue regarding the charging of the battery or completely defective flooded batteries. In April 2025 Ford must have realized a problem because they started installing an AGM in the factory on the hybrids. they also issued SSM 53801 which was a software update on the A?C module that could be causing a parasitic drain. I had that done TWICE. Still have the same issue. The dealer says they can find nothing wrong and says I just need to drive my vehicle more, keep it on a battery maintainer and carry a power pack to jump start in case it doesn't start. I have been on a website [XXX] since July 2021 and this has been overwhelmingly the number one complaint about the Maverick hybrid. Ford was supposed to have had a recall in the first quarter for a software update to deal with a deeper charge of the battery but that never happened. We imply that the government step in and have Ford do a recall to replace all the defective flooded batteries with the AGM that they are now installing on the 2025's and/or do the software update promised.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

At approximately 10 pm driving on the interstate at approximately 65 mph, I was attempting to accelerate to 70 mph and my speedometer was decreasing in speed even though I had my foot on the accelerator. I had to pull off to the side of the interstate that has a very narrow shoulder. My car was not able to accelerate. I had to turn it off and turn it back on and then it appeared to work as usual. This has happened twice now. I took it into the dealership to have it fixed and they said they updated the control module unit and replaced my battery due to other issues I’ve been having with the car. No warning lights came on, and the car still appeared to be on and in drive when the incident occurred. The component has been inspected and the dealership said they repaired the issue, which was not the case, due to the same thing reoccurring approximately 10 days after the “repair” was made.

SERVICE BRAKES

6-18-25, driving at 20 mph in my neighborhood, applied brakes and pedal sank to the floor with no pressure. Pumped approximately six times with no pressure. On the last pump, I got severe juddering through the truck ( felt similar to an ABS activation) still no pedal pressure, but it did stop. Upon shutdown and restart, pedal was back to normal. Obvious safety issue as it would have caused a collision had I been on anything other than a quiet street. There were no warning lights on the dash and no fluid leaks. This is a new truck with 470 miles on it. Vehicle is currently at a Ford dealership. As of this writing no diagnosis.

SUSPENSION

While driving my 2024 Ford Maverick on a highway at approximately 65 mph, the vehicle suddenly lost power to the front wheels while passing a slower-moving vehicle. This caused the truck to jerk and decelerate rapidly in the oncoming lane, forcing me to veer back into my original lane abruptly. In doing so, I narrowly avoided a head-on collision, but the sudden maneuver caused the driver behind me to swerve off the road to avoid a rear-end collision. As a result, that vehicle went into a ditch and struck a small embankment. Three people inside suffered injuries, one with a fractured wrist, another with whiplash, and the third sustained a concussion from the impact. Emergency crews responded to the scene, and all injured individuals were transported to the hospital for evaluation. Despite the severity of the incident, there was no physical damage to my Maverick, as I was able to regain control and come to a stop safely on the shoulder. The cause was later determined to be a failure of the front driver-side CV axle and associated drivetrain components. Ford service technicians confirmed the mechanical failure after inspection. There were no warning lights, dashboard alerts, or fault codes prior to the failure. Intermittent clicking sounds during acceleration and turns had been occurring since around 3,500 miles, but the dealership initially dismissed them as normal. The full failure occurred at approximately 4,200 miles. Ford has not issued a recall or technical service bulletin related to this, though the dealer acknowledged similar reports from other Maverick owners. The failed parts remain in possession of the dealership and are available for further inspection.

STEERING

On 3 separate occasions, the following problem occurred. When towing in back of Motorhome (in neutral tow mode) while making a left turn from a full stop the towed vehicle (Ford Maverick) began to shake violently. The wheels turned opposite direction causing shaking so violently that I felt the motorhome being pulled left and right like a violent wobble. I quickly slowed to a stop and then proceeded slowly forward, and the wheels straightened out and everything was OK again.

BACK OVER PREVENTION

The contact owns a 2024 Ford Maverick. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V684000 (BACK OVER PREVENTION), and the vehicle was taken to a local dealer and the recall repair was performed; however, several weeks later the failure occurred while the contact was reversing, and the rearview camera display remained frozen. There was no warning light illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted, and the vehicle was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I was in drive, then I put the vehicle in park, then quickly swapped to reverse while apple car play was connected, and the back up camera did not come up. After a minute the console screen went black (I have a picture) then restarted as if it had crashed.

STRUCTURE:BODY

Ford provides a spare tire with their 2024 Maverick pickup truck, but does not provide a safe way to transport a damaged tire after performing a tire change. Ford's Owner's Manual for the Maverick shows on page 363 how the damaged tire is to be secured in the bed of the truck using the provided strap tied diagonally to one of the D-rings at the front of the bed and one of the cleats at the rear. Both tie down points for the strap are low enough in the bed to create a vertical force on the damaged tire and hold it down on the bed. Ford has not equipped the base model, known as Maverick XL, with the two D-rings shown in the manual. The only alternative tie down point at the front corners is a pair of cleats that are too high on the bed wall to put a vertical force on the tire. (These other cleats are shown in their Flex Bed diagram.) If attempted, the tire would be held down only by gravity and likely become a dangerous projectile. It would also be inadvisable to stow the damaged tire under the truck bed taking the place where the spare had been stored. If attempted, a damaged tire could have treads or steel cords hanging from it, which could either come in contact with a hot exhaust system or the cords could drag on the road and potentially spark a wildfire the way tow chains sometimes do. Ford's engineers have, in my opinion, designated in its Maverick Owner's Manual the only safe way to stow a damaged tire after using the Maverick's spare tire for an emergency tire change. Ford has provided the strap to secure the tire, but has not equipped all trim levels of the Maverick with the D-rings. Ford needs to provide Maverick XL owners with the two missing D-rings as well as the fasteners to mount them on the truck bed. It may also need to provide the correct size tapping tool if the existing holes were not threaded at the factory. This would remedy the inability to safely carry a damaged tire and also align with Owner's Manual instructions.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

My reverse camera was having intermittent issues consistent with the recall notice where it would freeze and not show a true representation of what was behind the vehicle while in reverse. I had the recall repair work done by my local dealer for the reverse camera and the problem has not been fully resolved. The framerate on the reverse camera is still inconsistent, and the problem has not been fixed entirely. It does not give me confidence that the screen will not freeze again in the future. It appears that the software update put out by Ford does not solve the problem, in my case it made the problem appear differently, but it did not resolve the safety issue. Every time I reverse in my truck, it puts my and others safety in jeopardy. If the reverse camera ever freezes, there is no indication that it has done so. This is problematic if I were in reverse while not moving, and the camera froze with a clear path behind me. If a pedestrian, cyclist, or other vehicle moved into the path of my vehicle while the screen remained frozen and I began to reverse, it is likely that I could back into them without any indication they were there. This is worse than having no reverse camera, as it gives a false sense of security that it is safe to proceed when it may not actually be. It appears that Ford has attempted to solve a hardware issue with a software patch that is insufficient to fix the issue with the freezing reverse camera image, though the true cause is unknown to me. It is unacceptable that after having the problem 'fixed' by an approved dealer the reverse camera is still not acting properly.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Reverse image is freezing, even after the truck’s recall was addressed by a local Ford dealership. This is a safety issue and could potentially cost a life if someone is backing up and the reverse image freezes.

This vehicle was sold to me on [XXX]. It is in my possession. I am now learning that they are on a stop sale. The dealer did not communicate the fact they were not to sell it to me, it was through their lack of follow through on providing Ford points, and not following through with the ext warranty contract for parts written in on it for a dealer purchased and installed front lift / leveling kit that I discovered it was not to be sold, because of the recall 24V-684, and stop sale because of that. Per Ford points when I called their corporate office the truck is not listed as sold, which was confirmed by Ford corporate when I called to talk to them about the issue since I was not getting a response from them. The sales mngr did call me right as I was getting off the phone with them and did talk to me about the issues was going to look into them and call me back per our discussion on [XXX]. Edgar in financing did call me to tell me that the words Lift kit “were put on the extended warranty paperwork so that when I purchased and installed the lift/leveling kit it would be covered under warranty”. That was not our discussion and it was discussed they would buy and install the front lift / leveling kit. Upon completion of paperwork I said let me know when the parts come in so we can schedule the installation. I have no means of doing a alignment, and would not want to risk messing up my first new vehicle by doing that myself, new vehicles are way to complicated for me to work on. After going back and forth with Edgar about what was or wasn’t to be included in the financing, he said Bo could have the extended warranty canceled and prorated price refunded. The mileage on the truck that day was 2483.1. After sending a picture of the mileage, I did DecPictures included are of the truck at my house after I waxed it, along with the vin and mileage of it the day I spoke with Edgar and let him know to cancel the ext wrnty on [XXX].

Driving my Tremor off road and got a flat tire. Discovered the OE jack does not lift vehicle high enough off the ground to allow removal of tire in case of a flat. I believe it is due to fact that vehicle comes with a 1inch lift and tremor specific tires. I don’t think engineers thought about the jack when they added tremor package to the Maverick line.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS

On 01 February 2025, my 2024 Ford Maverick XLT was involved in a front-end collision where two critical safety systems failed: 1.Airbag System Failure: The airbags did not deploy despite a significant front-end impact. This component is still available for inspection upon request. 2.Forward Collision Sensor Malfunction: The front collision sensor system failed to detect the obstacle and did not engage automatic braking, which contributed to the severity of the crash. This system is also available for inspection. Safety Risk: Due to these failures, my wife was hit in the chest by the force of the impact, and our dog was thrown inside the vehicle. My wife may have sustained internal injuries or bruising as a result. The failure of both the airbag system and collision avoidance system put our safety at serious risk. Problem Confirmation: The issue has not yet been confirmed by a dealer or service center because my insurance company (Progressive) is scheduled to inspect the vehicle on Monday. I will update this report if additional findings are confirmed. Inspection Status: The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer (Ford), but I have reported the issue to them for investigation. The vehicle will be inspected by insurance representatives to assess the damage and possible system malfunctions. No police report was filed at the time of the accident. Warning Signs Prior to Failure: There were no warning lamps or error messages prior to the failure. The vehicle was operating normally until the moment of the collision.

ENGINE

Auto stop/start and remote functions disabled due to battery unable to meet electrical demands of the vehicle. As delivered the battery is insufficient to meet the needs of the vehicle and needs to be externally charged or driven for over 2 hrs to regain function. My concern is that in normal driving the battery ability to deliver energy may become insufficient.
