2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid: multiple warning lights

Filed Oct 20, 2025 · Acceleration, Electrical · LA

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.

On June 13th 2024 my Maverick suddenly lost power and all lights on dashboard lit up. Apparently this has been documented by others, and vehicle then went into LIMP MODE and was not responding to accelator pedal properly and would not move beyond 30mph. Engine light is still on, and my Ford App shows 3 messages: 1. SERVICE ENGINE SOON 2. POWERTRAIN SYSTEM FAILURE 3. COLLISION AVOIDANCE UNAVAILABLE

While driving the vehical at 70 mph it suddenly lost power and all of the warning lights on the dash started to light up, was able to pull over to the side of the road safely. Turned the car off and opened up the door, closed the door and started it back up and the instrument cluster continued to throw signals. Had it towed to the dealership and am awaiting a response.

On April 1, 2024, while using cruise control going uphill on the interstate in heavy traffic, the truck went into LIMP mode without warning, and multiple lights appeared on the dashboard. Once I swerved over to the side of the road I turned the truck off, let it sit for 15 minutes and turned it back on. Turning it back on allowed the truck to get out of LIMP mode, but the check engine light remained. This happened several times on my drive, but I was able to finally finish my drive several hours later. Next day, all lights on the dashboard were off. The ford dealership could not determine the source of the issue or recreate the issue. This is a major concern as this issue put my safety at risk and could have caused a major accident on a major interstate, putting others’ safety at risk as well. On April 23, 2024, I went to start the truck, and the battery was dead. I confirmed no lights were on to drain the battery, and from April 23, 2024 forward, my power windows randomly stop working.

On April 22, 2024 my truck had a loss of power foe the second time while driving on the interstate with my family. There was no warnings or anything, the truck simply lost power and I had to pull off the road at which point it went into limp mode. I had several lights on my dash, Mai ly the check engine light and my mobile app recorded a fault with the drive train. This is now the second time this has happened in a few months. I have taken it to the dealer both times and they've told me that nothing is wrong with my truck. I explained that it is extremely dangerous but they said they can't do anything because the truck isn't reporting any issues. Please put pressure on ford to fix this. It is getting out of control.

Vehicle was in cruise control driving along the highway at-speed when the engine suddenly cut out and cruise control stopped maintaining speed. Pressing the accelerator did nothing, but the brakes still worked. After turning cruise control off the accelerator was still having no effect, and the vehicle did not let me re-engage cruise control. All other electronics (navigation, music, dash, hazard lights, etc.) continued to work fine, but I noticed that the light on the gear selector was blinking instead of the normal solid yellow. I pulled over onto the shoulder and came to a stop, at which point the vehicle put itself into park and engaged the parking brake. Several warning and advisory messages appeared on the screen advising me not to drive the vehicle, and almost all of the warning lights on the dash lit up. The electronics continued functioning for a time, but after a short while (less than 2 hours) they died as well. This included the locks, mileage indicator, windows, hazard lights, and gear shift—the vehicle could not be put into neutral. The vehicle was loaded onto a flatbed tow truck and taken to a dealership. Service invoice is attached. To summarize, it appears that a failure in the heat exchanger caused engine to cut out. Cause of electrical failure after stopping is unknown.

I was driving in town going about 20 MPH when I approached and intersection and stepped on the brakes. The brakes locked up, multiple warning lights, messages, audible alarms went off. I though the truck died and I put it in park and turned off the key. Then I turned the key back on, all the lights and warnings came back on, but it also said ready to drive. I was not able to accelerate using the gas pedal, truck was moving slowly on its own, it gained some speed but only ran on the electric motor. No gas engine. I got 3 blocks to my destination very slowly and shut the truck off. I had to go inside to do some work and when I came back about an hour later I turned the truck on and all the alerts were gone except the check engine light. It did run normal then. After calling the dealership they said to bring it in so they could look at it. I left it there and they called later saying they had pulled multiple error codes, did not tell me what they were, they cleared all the codes and drove it and said it did not act up for them and said I could come pick it up. I do not want to drive it because I feel like this could happen again at any time and if I were driving at a higher speed or on a interstate and this happened who knows who could have been hurt. This Maverick is my daily driver for work ect. but I will not drive it unless I absolutely have to right now. I got no answers from the dealership. Before this, no warning lights had been on.

I was driving [XXX] on [XXX] around [XXX] yesterday morning north . Without warning I lost control of the accelerator and the speed diminished to around 35 MPH. Several warning lights flashed onto the dashboard saying systems were failing. Check engine light came on and a "wrench" symbol appeared. The light on the transition control dial for "D" started flashing. I was in a construction area with no shoulder when it happened. I was able to creep into a niche on a partial turnoff around .5 miles later. I shut the car off and restarted it. Same problems. I noticed I was .25 miles from an exit and waited for traffic to clear from behind. Managed to get to 10-15 MPH and up the exit with traffic blaring around me. Parked at a McDonald's and wait for a tow truck that never came after 2.5 hours. Made an appointment with nice folks at Classic Ford in Columbia. I was told tow truck might be another 2.5 hours so I tried to restart car. This time only the "check engine" light stayed on. I drove the car slowly in electric mode around the parking lot and it seemed safe at lower speeds. I mapped out a "less the 45 MPH" route to Classic Ford and was able to reach there without further incident. However, the "check engine" light remained on the entire trip. The car is now being checked by Classic Ford. I have had no diagnosis yet. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Took my maverick for the system softward update and when I drove it after the update my truck suddenly had a loss of total power while driving on the freeway at 70mph. The dashboard cluster had all the lights come on check engine, abs ect light up and I had limit power 5mph enough to get my to the side of the freeway and all of a sudden the brake engaged and the truck jolted to a stop. I took the truck back to the dealer and they uploaded the system update again and released the truck back to me and a couple of days later the same thing happened.

Freeway driving - normal conditions. Vehicle suddenly loses most power and all the warning lights appear. After powering off for a couple minutes then it will act normal with check engine light on. This happens multiple times in a couple hundred mile drive.

Driving around 40 mph and suddenly my dash lights up light a Christmas tree. Car enters limp mode and slows down on its own. Notified via ford app of power train failure, pre collision and service engine (although my car was serviced a couple of weeks prior). Dropped my vehicle off at the dealership and they decided to hang onto it as they have no solution and are waiting for engineering to provide one.

While driving, the car severely jerked and all the lights on the dash lit up. I received the errors “Powertrain failure”, “vehicle in low gear mode”, “pre collision assist not available” and “service engine soon”. I quickly lost all power and was completely unable to accelerate. I happened to be going down hill so I coasted to a clear area where I could safely stop. After coming to a stop the car could not move forward and needed to be towed. I have not received any errors prior to this. However, I did recently complete a recall that involved a powertrain software update.
