Filed May 23, 2024 · Driver assistance, Engine · TX

Yesterday, May 22nd, my 2023 Hybrid Maverick stalled while I was in the middle lane. Fortunately I was able to quickly get over to the shoulder but had absolutely no power. The D-drive gear position light was blinking orange light. Warning message came up on the dash, saying the vehicle won't operate in that gear. I looked down and the shift wheel was in the drive position, but the orange light was not lit on the shifter. I then got error messages, Service Engine Soon Warning, Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power Warning, Pre-Collision Assist Not Available Warning. This was really rattling, to have a modern vehicle, with only 20,000 miles stop operating in heavy traffic. It is the second time, this incident happens. The last time was on March 25th.

Six month old Vehicle has failed to start twice in the last 3 days. The dealership looked at the vehicle but didn’t isolate a problem for repair. Fear is that the electrical system will shut down while driving and will lose control of the vehicle in traffic. OR will stop in a dangerous situation hazardous to me or other motorists. This has happened twice in the last 3 days.

Vehicle will not accelerate faster after stopping. Runs at less than 5 mph for 3-4 minutes and will accelerate afterwards. If stop again it will continue stalling during acceleration. Very unsafe in traffic. Rear end collision would take place as the driver id that vehicle is not aware of the stalling.

Engine shudders when switching from gas to electric mode. The sound is terrible and only started recently. The 2022 model apparently has the same problem. Sounds like running over a rumble strip. Concerned it may shut off while driving or otherwise. Happens at idle and while driving.
