While driving 70mph, Maverick truck lost power and was forced to pull onto shoulder. Restarted car after several systems were flashing as disabled. I was only able to drive 34mph top speed. After stopping for gas and shutting vehicle off for 30 minutes, car restarted without warnings (only check engine light on) and were able to drive 70mph again. I'm assuming this is the 24S24 recall. My dealership read the codes but were not aware of the recall or its remedy so I'm still waiting for recalibtation.
2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid transmission complaints
Page 4 of 6: complaints 71 to 100 of 140, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The component in question is the powertrain control module for my Maverick. After having the relevant powertrain recall reprogramming done (23E09), I was driving down the highway when I received a rapid series of warnings from my car including "Pre-Collision Assist Not Available", "Service Engine Soon", and "Service AdvanceTrac" [sic]. I lost all engine power at that point, and was steadily decelerating with no response from the accelerator. There was no advance warning or messages. There was an imminent threat to my safety at that time. The loss of all power rendered the car unsafe to continue driving on the highway, and prevented me from leaving the highway in a safe manner. I was able to pull off the highway at a fortunately nearby exit ramp, however, I was unable to accelerate and was only able to coast to the nearest safe parking space. I subsequently turned my car off and on again, I found that when in drive the car would accelerate by itself to no more than 35 miles per hour, and was unresponsive to the accelerator pedal-it would only slow down if the brake was applied. Upon arriving at my original departure point, I then turned my car off and attempted a BMS reset unsuccessfully. The next day (<12 Hours since the initial failure), my car was functioning properly again but was soon seen by a dealership for service. I was informed by the service representative that this is a repeated issue brought to their attention for this make & model, with a consistent trend of these issues occurring after the powertrain control module was reprogrammed as part of an update. The powertrain module was again reprogrammed/flashed, and the issue has not repeated since the initial failure, though it is available for inspection.
3/28/24 My 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid’s engine shut down and lost acceleration driving 70-80 miles an hour on a highway going through hills after 100 miles. Vehicle displayed a bunch of dashboard alerts as it soon lost all acceleration and would only drive slowly in Electric mode. I pulled over and tried again, but it was stuck in electric mode with barely any acceleration and displayed Check engine, service vehicle, bring to the dealer, etc., and a few other alerts. I shut off the engine and tried it again 5 min later, and it was still in electric mode. I shut it off again and waited around 15 minutes while trying to get roadside service using my Ford App, which showed local dealers but I could not find any towing service. Then, after the truck cooled down, ~15 minutes, it started up fine, and I could drive it. The engine shut down again after about another hour, displaying the same dashboard alerts as seen earlier. I pulled way over, shut everything down, and waited 10-15 min or so , and it started and ran fine to get me home in 30 min or so. I brought it to the Ford dealer the next day, 3/29/24, it took them 8 business days, and they said it was fixed on 4/9/24; they replaced the Battery/ Smart junction box.
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.
Recently got a couple recalls done and then yesterday while I was driving back home I Ford chimes twice and then see a plethora of service lights and dash warnings. Completely lost power on the freeway pulled over from originally being in the left lane in time. But could of been a lot worse if I wasn't coming back at 11pm. Restarted the truck and it let me go a max of 20mph all the way home (luckily I was near my exit) flooring it the entire time. Then after an hour of sitting at home I started it up again to surprisingly what felt like full power again but with a check engine light.
Driving at 30 mph when car lost power, emergency brake came on, would not accelerate. check engine light came on with multiple other warnings like drive modes disabled, service advancetrac, pre-collision assist not available. have video. was able to coast home as not applying accelerator pedal resulted in auto increased acceleration. luckily i was on a residential street. this vehicle is an absolute lemon.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, his girlfriend who was occupying the front passenger's side seat, informed him that there was an abnormal odor inside the vehicle. Additionally, the contact sustained severe headaches while driving. The contact drove to the hospital, where he was informed that there was an elevated level of carbon monoxide in his blood, and he had sustained carbon monoxide poisoning after two hours of exposure. The contact also stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the heater exchange needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. Additionally, the contact stated while driving 70-75 MPH with the Adaptive Cruise Control engaged, a message indicating that the gear was changed forcibly was displayed, and the Eco mode was disengaged, and the engine stalled. The contact was able to pull to the side of the road. The messages "Service Advancetrac", "Service Engine Soon" "Pre-collision Assist Not Available" and "Hill Assist Not Available" were displayed on the instrument panel. Additionally, the messages "Power Train System Fault" and "Collision Assist Unavailable" were displayed on the mobile app. The traction control warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts and a Police Officer assisted the contact in driving to the other side of the road. The contact was able to continue driving at 45 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the failure could not duplicated because the check engine warning light was not illuminated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 18,000.
Driving around 20 mph, when the car lost power /almost felt like it was stalled. Check engine light came on (yellow wrench icon) and pop up message "service soon". Had to stop vehicle and restart several times to get car going again. Ford Pass app shows a code for Power Malfunction / Reduced Power (see image from phone app). Technician at dealership pulled up error codes from the past few weeks (see images).
Installed update and my truck randomly thinks it is in collision. It will not turn on and no longer is responsive to anything. No lights or electrical working.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle failed to restart. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, but the vehicle was not yet diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance pending a diagnosis from the dealer. The failure mileage was 18,000.
Vehicle throws service now errors, and totally lost power. Vehicle accelerates without pressing on the accelerator. I've seen other customers report the same issue on the same model of vehicle. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I was going 70 mph on the interstate when I suddenly lost power. The engine wouldn’t respond. I had to quickly change lanes to get off of the interstate. Luckily there was space otherwise I could have been in an accident. The dash gave a warning of Advance Trac issue. The D on the selector was flashing. I got stopped and turned off the truck. Luckily after I gathered myself I searched and found it was a sensor issue and the truck did start and I drove 2 hours home. I was very scary though not having control of the vehicle at 70 mph.
My 22 Lariat Hybrid lost power last Wednesday while I was driving it. I believe the engine was still running, but I couldn't accelerate. I parked, turned the truck off, then back on, and drove home. I was able to drive it to the dealership the next day, no problem, It's at the dealership right now. I haven't heard anything yet.
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)
Driving down highway at normal speed. Car lost all engine power, still on but indicated gear shift was not in drive. Pulled off to side of highway. Put drive in park. Dash came up with a bunch of warnings. Turned off. Turned back on. Same warnings happened. Put it in drive and it just start going forward without any input. Was injured in power. Drove it to safe spot. Turned off called for tow. Tried turning it back on and returned to normal but check engine light was on. Very unsafe to loose power in the middle of the highway. My two friends died like that!
While driving at cruising speed on freeway/interstate, experienced sudden and unexpected loss of power and multiple error codes, including "gear selected will engage at low speed" and "service advancetrac", together with flashing service engine soon light. This occurred approximately 3 weeks after completing service recalls for power train control module (23E09) and turn signal outage detection failure and instrument panel cluster IPC Illumination
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.
Was driving on the freeway and a ton of warnings suddenly appeared on the dash. Pre-collision assist not available, stop driving now, service engine soon, powertrain malfunction, etc. The truck would not accelerate when the gas pedal was pressed and slowly slowed down. The truck would auto-accelerate (without gas pedal input) to about 20 mph unless the brake was applied (limp-mode). I pulled over, disconnected the 12V battery and reconnected which seemed to fix the problem. The dealership could not figure out the issue. I believe that the 12V battery was somehow drained to a point where it fed a low-voltage to suite of safety sensors which all went haywire.
Driving at highway speeds, the vehicle started de-accelerating with a message on the dash saying to slow down to shift in selected gear. The vehicle did not respond to any accelerating to avoid traffic to get to the side of the road and only deaccelerated. The "D" indicator in the PRNDL was flashing as i pulled off to the side of the road. Once stopped, error messages appeared on the dash; "Hill Start Assist Not Available," "Service AdvanceTrac," "Pre-Colision Assist Not Available," and "Service Vehicle Soon." After waiting 5-7 minutes with the vehicle turned off, The vehicle was again drivable with the CEL illuminated. This issue generated two codes: U1011 - The automobile fault code U1011 indicates a problem with the Controller Area Network (CAN) communication harness, a faulty Engine Control Module (ECM), or a poor harness ground connection. The most common symptom is the Engine Light ON or Service Engine Soon Warning Light. U1028 - The automobile fault code U1028 indicates a communication issue between the vehicle’s modules. This is often accompanied by the engine light turning on. The cause of this fault code could be a faulty module, an open or shorted module harness, or a poor electrical connection in the module circuit.
I brought my 2022 Ford Maverick hybrid to Franklin Ford dealership on 10/2/23 for repair with battery issues I was having previously. At random times the car would not turn on from start despite the battery testing at full power. Franklin Ford installed software updates they said resolved the power issue and I drove off the lot with the car on 10/7. 15 minutes later I was driving on the highway at 70 mph and the entire dash panel lost power. I tried to accelerate and the engine had no power as well. Fortunately I was safely able to move to the break down lane and coast into a highway exit. Since the car had no power I removed the key and tried restarting which worked successfully. My engine light was on and I received about 10 engine and powertrain warnings in my Ford mobile app. This was a major and life-threatening malfunction that the dealership had no explanation for and neither did my case worker at Ford Customer Service. I had owned the car for less than 12 months at the time and it was extremely concerning knowing that the car could now shut off at a moments notice while driving. I returned the vehicle to the same Franklin Ford dealership where it received the software update that seemed to put the vehicle into failure. Their solution was to reroute the wiring harness through the engine since it was previously exposed to the wheel well and had corroded the external layer of the harness. I'm submitting this report because I have seen dozens of similar cases with the same year and model as me. As a first time customer of Ford this has been a nightmare experience.
Engine failed while driving on highway. No noises, just check engine and multiple other warnings on instrument panel turned on. The vehicle lost power but would still drive at about 25 mph. I was able to stop the car in a safe place and after turning it off for 10 minutes it started up again like normal.
Car stopped moving although still on, then had many flashing warnings. the "D" on the drive knob was flashing. Turned the car off and on a few times and eventually gor it moving then it tried to engage in its own determined speed! I only had a mile to get home so made it home with out it stopping again. The errors codes ( Vehicle alert) showing on my "Ford" app are: 1.precollison assist not available 2.Powertrain malfunction/reduded power 3.service engine soon(the engine has detected a fault) there were others while this was first happening but i was overwhelmed with fear and don't remember The car is at the local Ford Dealer and they have yet to find the problem I see on some online sites others having this same issue - it appears that it after a recall which i have had a few fixed This is so terrifying and if I had been going 75 on the frwy I was headed to it could have been deadly...
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.
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.
4 days after getting my truck back from work to complete recalls and the 1st incident of the truck going into limp mode, it happened again. Had to call a tow truck and tow to the dealership.
I had my truck in for recall fixes. Since then it has intermittently gone into limp mode twice. No warning or notice. The first time it happened I was merging onto the freeway. This could have been a serious accident as I lost power and cars were flying around me at 60mph. I was left stranded twice while waiting for the tow truck and Lyft to pick me up. The dealership does not offer loner cars while yours is being fixed. So far the truck has been in the shop for this issue 18 accumulative days.
This weekend I drove from home, Centerville, to Virginia and 3 TIMES the engine would shutoff or disengage the drivetrain. And I received this message: "Gear Selected will Engage at Low Speed". It happened on the highway at highway speeds. Each time I was going uphill. When it happened the first time, the check engine light came on and remained on for the duration of the trip to Virginia. Secondly, each of these times the gear shifter would start blinking and remain locked until stopping and shutting off. It seemed like the engine turned off as I could not hear it rev. Steering and braking worked like normal. Third, and this happened each time, as I was braking and stopping the truck would abruptly put itself into park just a half second before I came to a complete stop. upon restarting, the truck it put itself into grade assist mode, both against my wishes or the actual need for it. It took 2 to 4 tries for this to go away so I could drive like normal. The next morning I went for a short drive to get breakfast. Upon restarting, the engine light went back to normal and relit while driving. It has not come back on while driving since. Later, I went for a slightly longer drive and upon braking and coming to a complete stop for a stop light, the truck felt like I was driving over railroad tracks. This happened just that once. I ended up driving home through the rural but empty highways of West Virginia and through all that the above issues never returned. ~18K miles ~No idea if this relates, but this happened about 2 weeks after software reprogramming to address 2 recalls. ~Also unlikely to be related, but alert chimes would go off when opening the not-running truck. This happened for a couple of weeks, later sounding faster in timing, then another version of the chime. I always drive with a seatbelt on but it sounded like the chime from starting the truck without the belts on. There were no dash lights to indicate anything. And then that went away.
One week after having recall [XXX] completed on [XXX] driving on [XXX] at about 70 miles per hour my truck slowed down to 10 miles an hour with my dashboard lighting up with a slew of warning lights blinking like crazy. I was able to get to the side of the road before it conked out all the way. Luckily my wife and did not get rammed into. Service engine now, powertrain failure, will not go into gear at this speed, collision assist warning lights all came on and were blinking. This was [XXX]. Luckily somehow I got the computer rebooted and drove home very carefully. I took it to dealer the following Monday, they had it for 2 days but warning lights were not on so they gave it back to me with nothing rectified. One week later this happened again on [XXX] a smaller highway, same warning lights but at a slower speed. Once again I got the computer to reboot but had to hold my foot on the brake because vehicle wanted to take off and the speed limit was 35. I took it into the same dealer the next day [XXX] and it has been their since. Today is March 29. The dealer finally was able to get Ford to admit this recall screwed up some software and they have no fix yet. No one should go ahead and get this recall done because someone is going to get killed.

2022 Maverick shuts down without warning. Driving at highway speeds, 65mph, the car simply loses all power. This started happening after factory recall work was completed on 3-11-24. I have stranded 7 times on the shoulder.
After driving about 500 ft, check engine light appeared, propulsion stopped immediately and I was only able to pull off road with momentum. Fortunately, I was at a driveway. Otherwise, I would have been required to park in the road (due to steep shoulders) on a two lane road. If I had been followed closely by a heavy vehicle, it probably would have rear-ended me since the propulsion quit so abruptly. After I turned truck off and restarted, it had enough propulsion to return 500 ft home at about 10 mph. -Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. No inspections performed other than dealer for repair/reset. -Dealer reset was done and no further problems noted. No replacement parts needed. Dealer said they had one other Maverick with this problem.
