I received the 2022 Hybrid Ford Maverck XLT on March 2023, and had first 12V battery replacement on August 2023 as it was dysfunctional leading to car stalling. On 01/11/2026, the truck suddenly got stalled during drive due to the dysfunction (8.0V) again of the 12V battery, which triggered several error codes. The 12V battery was replaced again on 01/12/2026. I drove the truck home and found later that system alert with "Electrical Power Saver Active". The truck stalled again on 01/13/2026 at traffic light near school zone. The police had the truck towed to Tire Express per SOP. The truck was then diagnosed at local Ford dealer as: "multiple accessory / entertainment modules have software level that may be contributing to 12V battery drain / degredation". Obviously, this is the truck defect can may pose catastrophic risk to driver and surrounding drivers. I searched Google and found more 2022 Maverick with such serious issue! My total cost of repair and towing from this defect is $1145.11. Thank God that my family was safe during the sudden stalling while driving. I know there is no such recall but Ford should be responsible for the recall to avoid future risks and paying off my cost. Please consider this as a recall! Thank you!!!
2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid electrical complaints

My 2022 hybrid Maverick suddenly lost power as I was driving at 45 MPH. There was no warning lights; the entire dashboard went black. I lost all power including lights, speedometer, and power steering. Additionally, and more concerning, I lost all brake functionality so I could not stop the vehicle, even pressing the brake very hard. The parking brake switch also did not work due to the power loss. The brake pedal would not budge until suddenly after the vehicle completely lost all momentum. In the process blew through a stop sign and I could've easily been killed, or worse, killed other people as I had no control of the vehicle as it coasted. Thankfully nobody and nothing else was harmed as I was the only one on the road, it was just traumatic. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and preliminarily inspected. They decided they want to address a technical safety bulletin for a "no start condition", though the conditions did not match this situation exactly. But they also stated the hybrid/powertrain warranties did not apply, so I rejected the repair due to high cost. It is uncertain if the repair they want to do would fix the issue. It is currently available for inspection upon request, though Ford may try to buy it back soon. It has not been inspected by police or insurance. The only light I can think of was a month before I saw a brief "Charging System Service Soon" warning, but it was only on momentarily (did not persist). I am unsure if this is related.
The 2022 Ford Maverick repeatedly experiences complete electrical system failures, including engine shutdown, loss of power steering, brakes, and the electronic parking brake, while driving at highway speeds, resulting in total loss of vehicle control and creating a life-threatening situation for the driver, passengers, and others on the road; prior warning signs included the 12-volt battery not staying charged and intermittent total electrical power loss, and while no warning lamps indicated imminent failure, the issue was reproduced and documented by a dealership that replaced the battery, performed a BCM relearn, and applied a software update, yet the problem persisted, leaving the vehicle undriveable and unsafe, requiring repeated jump-starts, and demonstrating a fundamental defect in the electrical and control systems; the vehicle is currently scheduled for further warranty diagnostics at a second dealership, and because prior warranty repairs failed to correct this repeat, safety-critical, and life-threatening defect, I request immediate manufacturer investigation, full warranty coverage, and evaluation for vehicle replacement under applicable Lemon Law or consumer protection remedies, as the repeated failure places lives at risk and the vehicle cannot be safely operated until fully corrected.
While driving in local traffic, my vehicle completely shut down. All power was lost. The engine shut off, shift control was disabled and the power steering did not work. Several warning lights were displayed including a "shift to neutral" warning, which was disabled. I was unable to restart the vehicle. After sitting for 10 minutes, the vehicle was started and resumed normal operations. This has happened on more than one occasion. The local dealership has kept the vehicle and cannot duplicate the failure or determine the cause. I am concerned that this could happen on the highway and cause myself or other travelers to be injured.

Vehicle dashboard started flashing a service warning while driving and then immediately going away. Afterwards, electrical system failed when vehicle was put into park. No lights or any electrical functions were working. Issue is consistent with program 22B39. Ford had not contacted me about this issue in the past when it was first discovered.
Truck will enter a deep sleep. Will not start, will not unlock with fob, lights will not turn on. This has happened 2 times. Battery harness is faulty according to dealership.

1)After sitting for 2 days the battery was drained or dead. The truck would not start. I jumped the truck and it started up. Every time I park the truck i get a warning that the battery is low and I should drive it to recharge the battery. I drive the truck but it will not recharge. 2) The check engine light comes on. I went to the auto parts and scanned for diagnostics. The scan came back as a fuel tank pressure sensor failure. 3) When I drive the truck it smells as if something is burning. 4) The fuel gage is not showing accurate reading. 5)The fuel door wont open unless I have the truck turned on and then it takes several minutes. 6) After driving on the freeway I came to a stop on the off rap before entering a main street and the truck died.
Recently, the rear passenger window went down and will not go back up. Searching the internet, this is a common problem. This is a safety issue from weather and noise as well as roadway debris if not repaired. While it is a common problem, Ford is not covering this safety issue as a recall.
Vehicle lost all power while driving. This was due to a failure of the hybrid system. Created a dangerous situation as vehicle started coasting without power in neutral.
Positive battery cable went out which is a $1500 repair. It appears that this is quite a common issue. Ford has previously offered a "battery cable overlay" Program 22B39 which appears to use a smaller gauge wire. Sounds like a mickey mouse fix to an issue that isn't owner related.

My vehicle has had a problem where it would not start upon hitting the start button and immediately go into a low power mode and would not start unless jumped potentially leaving you stranded if you did not have a jump box the manufacturer and dealer have confirmed the problem to be under service bulletin22-2340 stating that it was a connection problem between the battery and something in the front of the vehicle where they would have to replace the wiring harness to fix it where they quoted over $2,400 for something that should be under a recall and not a service bulletin where my vehicle is within the year range but not the mileage range for their service bulletin. My vehicle is over 160,000, mi where it is a manufacturing defect and not a where or use problem. I do believe that they should have to fix it
Vehicle failed to start due to a faulty wiring harness connecting the 12v battery to a component of the engine. This left me stranded with no warning, and I was unable to jump the vehicle through normal means. This is a known issue with the 2022 Ford Mavericks, as demonstrated by Ford's TSB 22-2340, and according to Ford, does not fall under their hybrid warranty.
The battery (new) needs to be jumped several times a week. This happens when it goes into sleep mode. Also, the vehicle stalled twice while turning left (in electric mode). My dealership could not fix the problem, but gave me a print out in mechanic terms. I have had so many issues with this hybrid. Ford did say it qualified for the “lemon law”, but then they said no. I have only put on 5000 miles and there’s been several updates and recalls
The truch goes into a deep sleep mode to save and conserve battery. Not enough of a charge goes into the battery for charging. Unable to open for app for tracking and remote starting. I can fully charge the battery myself but only last a few days. Voltmeter shows 11.5 volts.
Car keeps going into sleep mode because of battery issues.
