I own a 2023 Ford Maverick XLT (VIN 3FTTW8E35PRA43482). On September 9, 2025, at 79,837 miles, Ford of Montebello replaced both front halfshafts because of premature wear of the internal components. I paid $1,187.05 out of pocket (work order FOCS308705). Ford itself has acknowledged this exact defect. Customer Satisfaction Program 25N09 (Ford bulletin MC-11023857-0001, September 17, 2025) states that the front halfshafts on certain 2022 Mavericks suffer premature wear of the internal roller track components, causing increased noise and vibration while accelerating, and Ford will replace them free of charge. But the program covers only certain 2022 model year vehicles (built December 1, 2021 through November 23, 2022). My 2023 Maverick has the identical defect and required the identical repair, yet Ford excludes 2023 models from the program and refuses to refund the $1,187.05 I already paid. A worn front halfshaft can fail while driving, causing loss of drive power and affecting control of the vehicle. The same defective part and the same failure mode exist in 2023 Mavericks. I am asking the federal safety agency to investigate why Ford limited this program to 2022 models and to require Ford to extend coverage and refunds to 2023 Mavericks with the same defect. I contacted Ford's Customer Relationship Center on November 5, 2026 (reference CXH09857435-L7R9Z3). Ford could not confirm whether 25N09 covers 2023 models and could not confirm whether my repair is refundable.

Defect investigations
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. To review the ODI reports cited in the Opening Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to
RQ26004
Loss of Motive Power
On January 31, 2024, The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened a Preliminary Evaluation (PE24002) to investigate loss of motive power allegations in model year (MY) 2021 Ford Bronco Sport vehicles. Consumers reported a loss of engine power accompanied by complete electrical system failure either while driving or after stopping at a traffic light or stop sign. The vehicles generally could not be restarted, and the incidents were commonly diagnosed by dealerships to a failed 12-Volt (12V) battery. On April 12, 2024, Ford issued safety recall 24V‑267 covering 456,565 MY 2021-2024 Ford Bronco Sport and MY 2022-2023 Ford Maverick vehicles. The recall addressed loss of motive power resulting from sudden degradation of the 12V battery during the drive cycle. The recall remedy consisted of software updates to the body control module and the powertrain control module. The updated software aimed to provide warning to consumers when the battery is failing and inhibit certain vehicle functions which can lead to loss of motive power incidents. Additionally, Ford removed the existing 12V Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) as both a service component for the subject vehicles and original equipment for newly built Bronco Sport vehicles (during MY 2024 production), replacing it with a more robust absorbed glass mat (AGM) battery. The same AGM battery had been incorporated into Ford Maverick production in late 2022. Following recall 24V‑267, ODI received loss of motive power complaints in vehicles that had previously received Ford’s software-based remedy. Consumers reported that they did not receive warnings related to the 12V battery or the vehicle’s electrical system before the loss of power. On November 15, 2024, ODI opened Recall Query (RQ24014) to assess the effectiveness of the 24V‑267 recall remedy. On January 19, 2025, Ford issued recall 25V‑019 covering 272,817 MY 2021-2023 Bronco Sport and MY 2022-2023 Ford Maverick vehicles. The new recall addressed the same hazard as 24V‑267 but required replacement of the existing 12V battery with an AGM battery as the remedy. Ford reported that following the opening of RQ24014, it evaluated several field-returned 12V batteries, and determined that EFBs produced by battery supplier Camel potentially contained internal manufacturing defects causing loss of motive power. Ford further concluded that the software updates provided in the 24V‑267 recall remedy were unable to detect battery failures quickly enough to avoid loss of motive power. Vehicles previously within the scope of recall 24V‑267, but outside of the scope of recall 25V‑019, are equipped with EFBs produced by a different battery supplier (Clarios). When recall 25V‑019 was issued, Ford had not identified any Clarios EFBs exhibiting the same failure mode as the Camel EFBs. In light of Ford’s recall action, ODI is closing this Recall Query. The agency will continue to monitor loss of motive power complaints in Bronco Sport vehicles equipped with Clarios EFBs and reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.

What 2023 Ford Maverick owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The contact owns a 2023 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 MPH and making a left turn into an intersection, the vehicle suddenly lost automotive power and shut off in the middle of the intersection. During the failure, the power steering and power brakes became inoperable, and the vehicle almost crashed into a utility pole and fire hydrant before stopping. Additionally, a second vehicle almost crashed into the rear of the vehicle after the vehicle lost power. The contact stated that immediately after the failure, the vehicle was restarted and operated normally. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The failure mileage was 43,900.
Battery drained after replacement. Suspected software issues.
Vibration and shrouding under light and heavy acceleration, the harder the acceleration the stronger the vibration, feels like truck is falling apart.
When throttling or under load, significant vibration of the car. Possibly CV axle problem.
infotainment center and modules related to the front-facing display have malfunctions 5x since 9/2024 and have been in the shop 5 times for the same issue, 4 downloads and updates, 3 recalls, and 2 battery and a front-facing module replacement in the last 15 months of issue stsrting
My 2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid experienced repeated 12V battery discharge and “Deep Sleep” events associated with Recall 24C01 and SSM 53801. The vehicle repeatedly discharged the 12V battery while parked under normal conditions. In January 2026, after approximately two weeks parked in freezing temperatures, the battery experienced a complete discharge and the vehicle required multiple jump-starts to remain operational. Ford dealer records later confirmed that the corrective action associated with SSM 53801 had not been applied prior to the failure event despite prior complaints and service visits. The repeated discharge events resulted in failure of both: the original factory battery, and a replacement AGM battery installed at owner expense. This condition created repeated stranded events and loss of vehicle reliability. I am submitting this complaint because the issue appears directly related to documented parasitic drain conditions already acknowledged by Ford in Recall 24C01 and SSM 53801, and because the failure condition persisted before corrective action was finally applied.
The contact owns a 2023 Ford Maverick. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact noticed an abnormal sound coming through the back windshield. The contact stated that the failure was persistent. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, the abnormal sound was confirmed. The contact was informed that there was nothing that can be done to remedy the issue. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50.
During acceleration from 40-60 miles per hour, there was a pronounced vibration/shudder through the front end of the vehicle. After taking it to the dealership, they advised both front axles would need to be replaced. The catastrophic failure of an axle is likely to cause a car crash. The problem has been identified by Ford Motor Company and also confirmed by the Ford Dealership where I got it fixed. Ford Motor Company issued Customer Satisfaction Program 25N09 On September 17, 2025. My vehicle is a 2023 model year, but produced at the same plant and in the same time frame as the the ones mentioned in 25N09. There were no warning lamps or messages about the problem. The only indication was the heavy vibration a few thousand miles prior to getting it looked at.
Driver side door check hinge, rivets that hold the door hinge will break off. Door rivet panel will prevent the window to go down or up. The check hinge will break off during normal closing and opening of door.
