Frozen Rear-view Camera Image
In September 2024, Ford Motor Company filed a safety recall (the federal safety agency recall 24V684) covering certain MY 2022-2024 Ford Maverick vehicles equipped with a Connected Touch Radio (CTR). For these vehicles, the rear-view camera may freeze while the vehicle is in reverse.A frozen image can provide false information for the driver, increasing the risk of a crash. As a remedy, dealers will update the CTR software in affected vehicles. The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 5 Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQs) alleging frozen rear-view camera images following the remedy of recall 24V684 in a subset population of Maverick and Maverick Hybrid vehicles equipped with the CTR. The complaints report a frozen rear-view camera image while in reverse. Further, ODI is aware of a redacted number of related failures reported to ODI by Ford. The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) is opening this Recall Query (RQ) to evaluate the remedy effectiveness and scope of recall 24V684 to fully assess the potential safety-related problems.

2024 Ford Maverick Hybrid Intermittent Loss of Braking
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) received a petition on July 20, 2026, which was dated July 7, 2026, requesting a defect investigation into the intermittent loss of braking on Model Year (MY) 2024 Ford Maverick Hybrid vehicles. The petition alleges intermittent loss of antilock and regenerative braking associated with certain fault codes that led to a collision event. The petitioner highlights that the condition persisted through four repair attempts and over 50 days out of service. Furthermore, the petition alleges that MY 2024 was improperly excluded from related Ford brake-control software recalls. This defect petition has been opened to evaluate whether to grant or deny the petition. The petition can be reviewed at under ODI number 11751762.

Nov 2nd ,2026 i was driving home in heavy stop and go traffic on the highway. Traffic stopped in front of me and as i pressed the brake it felt life the nothing. Truck hesitated and then grabbed . i was unable to stop in time and hit the car in front of me . i know i should of left mor space between the car in front . i feel like without the hesitation the accident would not of happened. this was not the first time it has done this.
The contact owns a 2024 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that an employee was driving the vehicle during the failure and was involved in a crash. While the employee was driving 30 MPH and coming upon an intersection, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop and crashed into the vehicle ahead. The front driver’s side seat knee air bags deployed. The vehicle was towed to the residence. A dealer was contacted, however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 71,021.
•Incident/Repair 1 (6 Months from Delivery): At approximately six months of ownership, the vehicle suffered an internal high-voltage electrical failure. The vehicle was towed to an authorized Ford dealership, where technicians diagnosed a catastrophic failure of the High-Voltage Traction Battery system. The dealership attempted a repair by completely replacing the high-voltage hybrid battery assembly. This repair occurred well within New York State's statutory Lemon Law window of 2 years or 18,000 miles. •Incident 2 (2 Years 4 Months from Delivery / Current Status): Approximately two years 4 months from the original delivery date, the replacement high-voltage battery system suffered a secondary, catastrophic failure. While actively driving at highway speeds in live traffic, the engine completely shut off without warning. The vehicle suffered a total and sudden loss of motive power, forcing me to coast through traffic to a complete stop on the side of the road. •Automatic Shifter Hazard: Upon reaching a complete stop during this second incident, the vehicle's computer system automatically forced the electronic transmission into "Park" while still on the roadway. The vehicle's electronic center console maintained 12V power, allowing me to manually override the system into a temporary "Neutral Tow" setting so the truck could be physically pushed out of the flow of traffic to avoid a collision. The vehicle was subsequently towed back to an authorized Ford dealership, where it currently sits
in the ford maverick hybrid, ford has been aware of parasitic drain issues related to its software in the ABS braking system and it air condition system which causes degradation of the battery. there are service messages sent to ford dealerships regarding these issues (SM 55215, SSM 53801, SSM 54785). There are incidences of Ford dealerships upgrading software, upgrading batteries, and dealing with these as warranty issues. The effects cause no start situations and gear shift lockups with engine limp modes enacted. Through various Maverick owners and forums this has been seen in multiple vehicles. This can create dangerous issues if the system fails in the middle of driving on highways and stranding individuals in remote or unserviceable areas is apparent and with Ford providing service messages to dealership mechanics. It is apparent that it is something in ford's manufacturing process. The outcome to recall should not wait for a dangerous event or death to create said recall, but promote proactive response to the dangers created by faulty software that was created at Ford adn endanger the consumer purchasing their product as this not only affects them but also all others around them as we all travel the highways together.
Trunk had dead battery upon startup Back in March something happened and dealer stated the truck needed a software update, which they preformed but now I have the same problem
The front 2024 Ford Maverick passenger CV axle has failed, currently leaking grease. Ford has not rolled out a recall for the 2024 Ford Maverick, unlike the prior Maverick years. The vehicle produces the same symptoms as described in the 2022 recall of Ford Mavericks with aggressive shaking from 45mph-60mph. This renders the vehicle a safety hazard as it alters the way the vehicle drives.
The contact owns a 2024 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that after parking uphill, the contact exited the vehicle and lowered the tailgate to unload the bed; however, the vehicle unexpectedly rolled backward downhill, causing the tailgate to hit a tree and crash into a railing. The vehicle was driven away from the crash site. The insurance company was notified of the failure, and the tailgate was replaced at a collision center. The contact associated the failure with the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 25V863000 (Power Train); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.
I am reporting a recurring shudder/vibration condition in my 2024 Ford Maverick XL Hybrid. The vehicle currently has approximately 62,241 miles. The problem occurs during acceleration, generally between approximately 15 and 60 mph and started at just over 60,000 miles. The vehicle develops a pronounced shudder/vibration that feels similar to driving over a rough road or a rumble strip. The condition is repeatable and occurs during normal driving and acceleration. There are currently no warning lights illuminated and, to my knowledge, no diagnostic trouble codes have been identified. I am concerned that this may represent a drivetrain or transmission-related defect that could affect the safe operation of the vehicle, particularly if the condition worsens or results in a loss of smooth or predictable acceleration. I have become aware of Ford SSM 54797, which was issued in 2026 and addresses 2022–2026 Ford Maverick vehicles equipped with the 8F35 transmission. The service message states that affected vehicles may exhibit a shudder condition, most noticeable at speeds below 60 mph, with no relevant diagnostic trouble codes stored in the powertrain control module. It identifies the torque converter as a possible cause and provides a repair procedure involving the torque converter and related transmission components. The symptoms I am experiencing appear similar to the condition described in this Ford service communication. The vehicle is now just outside its applicable warranty coverage, which also makes it important to me that the condition be documented with the federal safety agency. I am requesting that the federal safety agency record this complaint and consider whether similar complaints involving the 2022–2026 Ford Maverick indicate a broader safety-related defect or trend.
