2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid problems

Filed Oct 27, 2026 · OH

Rear View/Backup Camera Camera freezes when vehicle is moving in reverse. The frozen image leads me to think I am farther away from objects or people than I really am. The vehicle has had the associated recall completed without success and has been in Ford dealership shops six other times to try to fix the issue, again, without success. The problem has been happening since day one of owning the vehicle.

I’ve been noticing that when I am on the freeway and I am increasing my speed to highway speed and between 55 mph to 65 mph the vehicle vibrates like possible suspension issue. This morning at about 2:13 AM when I had just got to a stop sign and my foot was physically on the break. I noticed that the engine revved up so because I was concerned I made sure I stayed where I was with my foot on the break until the engine came back down to the proper idle.

The welds broke on the front driver side door. Door has a creaking sound and the door has visibly growing stress crack near the door check arm. I took it to the dealer and here' s their repair comments. "B. CUSTOMER STATES DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CREAKS WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING. X MUST GO TO BODY SHOP DOOR WELDS ARE BROKEN (DOOR)" It seems to be the same issue as Ford's customer satisfaction program 23B56 "inspect front door check-arm reinforcement spot welds", for the Ford Excape, coming from the same factory as the Maverick, but the Maverick didn't get a customer satisfaction program for this issue.

At around 27K miles the two front CV axles began to fail. I brought it to the Ford dealership and they confirmed that both needed to be replaced. It was a $1600 repair. There have been a lot of complaints from Ford Maverick owners who have had CV axle failures at very low miles on their vehicles. These parts typically last 100K to 150K miles and it's not unusual for them to last the lifetime of the vehicle. There is no reason both front CV axles should be failing with 27K miles on a vehicle. This should be covered by a recall.

The truck was being towed behind a motor home, while making a normal left turn from a complete stop the truck began swing wildly from side to side (death wobble). After stopping I found a dash warning "Steering Assist Fault, Service Required" and "Drive Mode Not Available". At that time the truck steering was very difficult to turn, the truck was not drivable. This is the second time this has happened. In June 2024 the exact same thing happened. Ford replaced the steering assembly (twice, the first part was defective) under warranty. I believe this to be a safety hazard. I tow the truck behind the motor home in order to have reliable transportation when I arrive to a destination and also to provide a safe way to get help if some incident occurs while on the road (motor home break down) or for an emergency at the destination. Both steering assist incidents occurred when I was in a remote area with no cell service or internet service. Had there been any kind of medical emergency it could have had unwelcome results.
