Vehicle shudders or shakes on acceleration. Seems to only happen during acceleration and doesn't feel like it throws the steering wheel around but more like the front end is just loose or something like a transmission slipping feeling.

The CV axle on my 2022 Ford Maverick keeps failing. Has been repaired/replaced 3 times same Ford dealership completing repairs. It starts with shuddering and shaking when accelerating then a clicking noise and unable to keep vehicle straight. Lucky enough no accidents where caused, however the second time this happened I was on interstate going at least 75mph the clicking started then could not control the vehicle, couldn't maintain lane. I am a little surprised how lightly the issue is precevied. It's becoming routine like getting oil change and cv axles are changed out. I making this complaint because after 3rd time it is starting to have same symptoms again and drivability of vehicle.

Vehicle is vibrating or shuddering strongly when accelerating at about 50% power. CV Joints are failing prematurely (35,000 miles,) as many others have reported.

After ~32000 miles of driving the truck was shuddering aggressively when accelerating. On 10/13/2023 truck was taken into a Ford Dealership, Preston Ford West in Randallstown, MD, for repair of this issue and was told this was due to both CV axles failing and it was no longer safe to drive. From my research, this part failing so early in the life of the vehicle is significantly earlier than what is typical of a CV axle.

There is a drivetrain shudder/vibration at lower speeds, while accelerating, and decelerating. Taking off from a stop seems to cause it most often, but not always. Vehicle does seems to recover, but stumbles a little. This is an intermittent problem, it has only 7,500 miles, no dealer is able to "reproduce" the problem yet. No warning lights, or DTC's. I am not sure it is a safety issue yet, but if the drivetrain suddenly disengages while traveling down the highway because of these symptoms now, I can see a real safety concern.

During a moderate cruise speed, 15-35 mph, the vehicle will produce a shudder. The vehicle shakes as if riding on rumble strips. It can replicated by coasting and resting the foot on the brake lever. It does not occur every time but it is disjointing when it does occur. This would occur 3-7 times a week. The way I’ve found to stop it is to apply the brakes or the apply acceleration. Such maneuvers become unpredictable, and novice drivers may over react. This issue is well documented by drivers, with the keywords “hybrid shuddering.” Because it is inconsistent, and ford has not pushed out a fix, this issue has been unresolved.

Problem 1: As a hybrid engine, the engine shudders, shaking the whole vehicle, as i am travelling in a low speed, around 5 mph. I believe this is the cause of engine rpm switching to electric motors. This had occurred multiple times in 3 months of owning the vehicld. Problem 2: brake grab. There has been multiple instances that the brake engages in low speed. This happens when i am not stepping on a gas pedal, like about to park. The brake grab puts the vehicle in a jerk stop. This occurred multiple times in 3 months of owning the vehicle

My hybrid has an occasional shudder/rattle/vibration noise when the gas engine switches off. Started around 1900 miles on the odometer. Occurs at all speeds with the most noticeable shudder/rattle/vibration noise when stopped. I was worried that the transmission may cease to work and leave me stranded in traffic. There were no errors codes and no warning lights. Has been at the Ford dealer for 26 days as of today with no resolution nor a diagnosis.

During driving, the truck will shudder during the transition from electric operation to ICE operation. The car hesitates during this problem. I've taken the truck to the dealer but they couldn't verify the problem. This problem has occurred several times over the past year.
