2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid: sudden loss of power

Filed Oct 26, 2026 · OR

We had the recalls done on 10/15/26, and that same day the check engine light came on. The guy from the dealership came back, drove it and checked it out and it seemed fine. Just about a week later on 10/23/26 the truck went into reduced power mode while my wife was trying to merge on to the freeway. She pulled over and the truck was inoperable, so we had it towed to the dealership. Also, they let the truck sit on their lot all weekend with the windows open, and the interior got wet from the rain. Prior to having the recalls done, we have had zero issues with this truck.

• Year: 2022 • Make: Ford • Model: Maverick • VIN: [XXX] • Current Mileage: 95,000 • Affected Component: Hybrid Powertrain / Electrical System / Propulsion System On Saturday, XXX, while driving my 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid at highway speeds, the vehicle suffered a sudden, complete loss of motive power and acceleration. The gas pedal stopped responding entirely. Simultaneously, a wrench light illuminated on the instrument cluster, multi-stage warning text flashed on the dashboard, and an audible chime sounded. I was forced to coast across multiple lanes of fast-moving traffic to reach the shoulder safely. Once stopped, the vehicle automatically shifted itself into Park. Upon turning the vehicle off and attempting to restart it, the truck entered a low-speed "limp home" mode with torque strictly limited to under 30 mph. The vehicle was towed to a certified dealership, Ford of [XXX], where it currently sits grounded. I have been informed that my VIN is not explicitly included in Ford’s active safety Campaign 24S33 (the federal safety agency 24V330) for the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HPCM) software defect. However, my vehicle manifested the exact, identical catastrophic failure and safety hazards outlined by federal regulators under that specific campaign. Furthermore, the vehicle is within the active 8-year/100,000-mile federal Hybrid Unique Component Warranty, yet I am facing pushback regarding diagnostics and repair because my VIN lacks the explicit recall flag. This represents a severe highway safety failure on a vehicle operating with un-recalled, defective factory hybrid software code. I am requesting an immediate the federal safety agency investigation into a recall population expansion for this model window. There was no crash or injury, but the highway power loss created an immediate, extreme hazard to life and safety.

While driving, the dashboard very quickly flashed the words "Charging System Service Soon" so fast I almost couldn't read it. Normally messages remain on the screen until I acknowledge them, but this was not the case. This happened at least 3 times within 30 minutes. When I got home, I parked and turned off the car. When I needed to turn the car back on shortly after, the vehicle would not turn on. I was able to get it jump started and immediately drove it to the Ford Service Center. The tech notes indicated: "Found SSM for concern. Required some module updates. During update, the PCM bricked due to low power. Through nearly 7 hours of testing, found the soldered connection of the main battery cable from battery to battery junction box is no longer connected and has caused a short circuit through the whole harness. There was a recall that expired in 2024 that was for this exact concern. (22B39) Recommendation is to replace full wiring harness and verify all modules are programmed properly. Pending customer approval.”" This is a safety concern in the sense that the disconnected battery cable could have led to the vehicle losing power while driving. Losing the ability to control the vehicle in this manner is a serious danger to me and other drivers, and I am grateful I was not driving when it lost power due to the disconnection.

My 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid has twice suddenly entered limp mode and experienced a substantial loss of power. The first incident occurred on or about XXX. After leaving my subdivision, I turned onto [XXX], which has a posted speed limit of 55 mph. The vehicle immediately lost power and entered limp mode, and the engine and wrench warning lights appeared. The weather was clear and sunny. I was able to drive several miles at substantially reduced power and return home. On XXX, at 83,600 miles, Louisburg Ford retrieved DTC P1061, determined that Ford TSB 25-2454 applied, and reprogrammed the required modules. The second incident occurred on 9/13/2026. My husband and I were returning home after traveling through [XXX], [XXX], and [XXX]. We were driving northbound on I-35 near mile marker 182 at the [XXX] exit, just south of [XXX]. It was completely dark and storming, with rain and lightning, when the vehicle again entered limp mode and lost power in highway traffic. We were fortunate to have cellular service and a gas station nearby. Otherwise, we could have been stranded in dangerous conditions. On XXX, at 106,338 miles, the same dealer retrieved the same P1061 code and again applied TSB 25-2454 by reprogramming the PCM. The same loss-of-power condition, code, and Ford-prescribed repair recurred within approximately 11 months and 22,738 miles. The dealer advised that there is no guarantee it will not happen again. I am concerned that this sudden loss of acceleration or motive power could recur at highway speed and cause a crash. I request that the federal safety agency investigate this recurring condition and whether TSB [XXX] provides an adequate remedy.

My 2022 ford Maverick is constantly sometimes several times a day and sometimes several times a week , but since 6 weeks after purchase I have been getting powertrain fault , engine fault and hybrid battery fault alerts from my ford pass my check engine light comes on my s service wrench light comes on also and my vehicle has reduced power. As well as my battery is constantly needing to be jumped. The dealership says my Battery is fine although I’ve already replaced it twice at my exspence. I’ve had to pay for diagnostics and pcm updates supposedly to fix these problems but no resolve. My vehicle goes into reduced power while driving 75 mph up the interstate and will not excellerate causeing the vehicle to coast to a stop. After sitting a while it can be started and driven. Today I received all three faults at 10:20 am so I went to my ford.com and done a health check and it says my vehicle is healthy with no engine or power train faults. But my ford pass alerts , my dashboard warning lights , and the performance of my vehicle says otherwise. I have been put in many situations on high speed roads and my vehicle will not accelerate. Often times it is necessary to jump my battery for I can move my vehicle. These issues are a constant safety hazard to all the drivers on the road when a vehicle suddenly loses power at high speeds. After 4 years of fighting with ford for a resolve I need help. I have seen numerous recalls issued addressing these very issues but they are not issued for my vin although the data on the recall states the recall pertains to vehicles made at the hermacillo Mexico plant . Which mine was on Dec 2021. I feel like my vin somehow is being overlooked and I’m not recieving the recall for the repairs. I also believe that due to the electrical issue my truck can not retain the obd codes. I have taken my vehicle to several dealerships all telling me different resolve which I pay for and no resolve. Please help

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 around 50MPH my vehicle started to lose engine power going down to 40, then 30, then 20MPH. I had to pull into a break down lane and at the next exit I managed to make it to a Ford Dealership called Flood Ford in Narragansett, R. I. This may be related to the federal safety agency safety recall number: 24S24 from May 2024. This happened yesterday [XXX] around [XXX]. This is the 2nd time it has happened as it happened another time on [XXX] in North Carolina and it ended up at Huntersville Ford. The dealership in Rhode Island won’t be able to put a diagnostic tool on my truck until Monday August 25th so I’ll be without a car for 6 days.

The CV axle (driver's side) started to fail before 22,000 miles on my 2022 Ford Maverick. When accelerating the vehicle would violently shake back and forth. The tires are starting to wear early due to the constant movement. If the CV axle was to break I would lose power and it could damage nearby components (brakes, brake lines, cooling lines). I would be stranded on the side of the road. I did not drive it until I could get to the dealer for a repair. The dealer was very aware of the problem. There were no warning, MIL, or any indication the part was failing. The problem is quite evident on line as most of these parts start to fail before 30,000 miles.0
