The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that while making a right turn, the vehicle stalled and failed to restart. The contact was able to coast into the turning lane. The vehicle was towed to the dealer; however, no cause for the failure was found. The vehicle remained at the dealer unrepaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 24V267000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN). The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.
The axle on the Ford Maverick are suffering premature wear causing the vehicle to shake when accelerating. Ford dealer was able to reproduce the issue and blamed it on a unbalanced axle shaft. The vehicle was not safe to drive with an unbalanced axle shaft
When I accelerate the vehicle shakes violently making it difficult to control.
Both right and left cv axle joints had a rough spot in the bearing. Both had to be replaced in November 2023. Now (August 2025), the same issue is happening again. Current mileage as of 8/24/25 is 35,844. Calling dealer to schedule repair first thing Monday morning.
Both Front CV Axles failed at the connection point to the transmission. Causing the vehicle and steering wheel to shake while accelerating at 45-65 MPH. The manufacturer's dealer replaced both front CV axles under warranty, as per the 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain coverage.
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
Car shakes around 50 mph. Took truck to my mechanic and they said it was the front differentials. They told me that there was a tecall for this issue.
CV Joint failing. Vehicle wobbles during acceleration between 55-65 MPH. Began around 55,000 miles - was very minor at first and believed to be tire related. Now, at roughly 67,000 miles the wobble is very prominent.
CV axles on front wheels defective resulting in shaking which is felt in the cabin while accelerating. If the CV axle were to fail completely could result in loss of control of the vehicle. The issue has been confirmed by the service department at the Ford dealership and is currently getting the work done to have the axles replaced. This is the second time that the CV axles have failed in this truck. The truck is 3 years old and has 65,000 mi on it. I previously had the CV axles replaced in May of 2024 The issue is not accompanied by any warning, lamps or trouble indicators. There's only a noticeable roughness or shaking inside the cabin while accelerating. I feel that Ford replaces the faulty CV axles with the same defective part and 12-15 months down the road I have to deal with replacing them again.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that the rotary gear shifter was stuck in park(P). The contact had to wait for over 15 minutes for the rotary gear shifter to move. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, no cause for the failure was found. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that recently the rotary gear shifter moved independently when touched by the arm. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired for the most recent failure. The contact stated that the failure persisted. In addition, while using the USB plug, there were several unknown messages displayed on the screen. The contact stated that after a while, the radio turned off independently. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 9,000.
This issue has been going on for a few months now and is getting worse. When accelerating, usually around the 50 - 60 MPH range, the vehicle begins to shake pretty violently. We had tires balanced and the front end aligned. No change. Mechanic feels like it an axle or CV boot issue.
The front cv axels prematurely wore out causing wobble while accelerating. The dealer refused to repair this under warranty. This is a safety issue. This is a design defect.
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.
I have a 2022 ford maverick pickup truck and have a vibration in steeling wheel at acceleration so I took it to a very reapable tire ,brake and suspension dealer who checked the brakes, tires, balance, steering joints etc and found nothing wrong and said he had no clue what it could be and no Ford Recall issued but web sites show other customers with same problem and dealers are not wanting to completely check out because of no Recall please help us!!!
Both axles failed under 90,000 miles and just over three years old.
- significant front-end vibration under acceleration from 45-65 MPH - dealer diagnosed problem to faulty front axle shafts; both were replaced - no warning indicators, lamps, or messages
Front CV Axles are failing. Issues: constant vibrations when accelerating, difficulty steering, and some loss of control.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle shifted into SAFE Mode. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the battery had failed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer where it was determined that the battery needed to be replaced again. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The contact related the failure to the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 25V158000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency Hotline for assistance. The manufacturer extended the warranty on the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000.
Transmission sensors/Software. My wife stopped at a intersection, light turned green and she went to proceed, the truck went in reverse instead of forward! She stopped it before it hit another car. This is the second time this truck has gone behaved in a dangerous way. Last time it lurched forward almost hitting a car, and then the car went into a safety mode (they 'fixed' that in a previous recall). It seems like another sensor/software malfunction
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 contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated while driving at 25 MPH, the vehicle started to shudder. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the failure progressively increased and became more frequent. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with excessive movement in both axles. The dealer recommended to replacement of both axles and seals. The dealer replaced the front axle shaft, inner clips, seal locking nut, a retainer, retainer bearings, and four bolts under warranty; however, the failure recurred on several occasions a year later. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 106,019.
CV Axles failed - Numerous reports of design flaw - OEM parts on backorder unable to get parts for repair. Dealership unable to repair and said it could be months for replacement (suggested I continue to drive vehicle this way) - FORD has not recalled the known failed part - Truck thumps and vibrates making it difficult to drive (Safety Issue) - repair cost estimate 2K DEALERSHIP : MALLOY FORD WINCHESTER VA
I was driving along in slow traffic on the highway and lost ALL power to my truck and it just stop. No electrical, no drive. There is a recall for this but apparently it did not include my VIN.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle experienced severe front-end shaking and vibrations while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that the failure also occurred while driving up an incline. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the front axle was bent and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 80,000.
The vehicle started to shake and in the span of 1 month started shaking violently. Only happens when accelerating. Upon googling it looks to be a axle, cv axle, or some axle joint issue.. called ford and they do not want to change it due to salvage.. consistent issue with tons of people having this problem. Would like them to acknowledge and change everyone who is having issue without being a problem..
Engine Service warning appeared this morning and the vehicle immediately lost power to a maximum of 20 mph. The same thing happened approximately 2.5 months ago. A Ford dealership technician checked it out could not find an issue and cancelled the check engine light. Both times this occurred on a busy road and could have led to a potential collision with another vehicle.
I was driving on the highway at 55 mph. When I pushed on the gas pedal, no acceleration would occur. There were not any warning lights or indicators for an issue. I had a total loss of power and had to coast to the side of the highway across several lanes to get to safety. The gas pedal would not function until I turned off the truck then turned it back on. The deal was not able to find any root cause for this issue, so I am driving with uncertainty whether it will happen again.
Vehicle shakes violently when accelerating. Believe CV axle to be bad.
Vehicle spontaneously went into limp mode while driving on the highway. Slowed to 20 mpg and would not accelerate. Required pulling onto the shoulder of the road.
