What 2024 Ford Maverick owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I was in a parking garage, preparing to back out of my spot. When I put the car into reverse, I noticed that the Ford infotainment system started a reboot, as the Ford logo popped up and had the loading icon. I waited about 20 seconds, but nothing changed with this reboot. I subsequently backed out of the spot using just my head and eyes turned to make sure there was no oncoming traffic. The backup camera did not turn on at all. About five minutes later, when I was driving my car, the backup camera finally turned on (while the car was in Drive or D mode), and was stuck showing me a static image of the parking garage. This was five minutes after I had already left the parking garage. The screen was stuck on this for the next 10 minutes while I drove home. I have attached two photos of this as well. The first in the picture of me at a traffic light, roughly 5 minutes after I shifted my car into reverse. As you can see, I can clearly not in a dimly lit parking garage, but rather at a brightly lit traffic light. The camera would stay stuck at this exact same image for the next 10 minutes, until I arrived home. The second image was the car’s infotainment system trying to reboot itself. It shows the Ford logo, which was currently rebooting (or trying to reboot on its own) the cars’ operating system. This was the image I was seeing until the first image (mentioned above) finally showed up. I work for a K-12 school as their IT Specialist and frequently back into and out of spots all the time. This isn't the first time this has happened and given the nature of my job, I am concerned about a loss of visibility when trying to backup (and the camera is not working). The only good thing is the camera works about 95% of the time. However it is the other 5% that it does not work, that concerns me.
The contact owns a 2024 Ford Maverick. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 25V685000 (Equipment). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who removed the part. The contact stated that the vehicle was not fully functional without the part. The manufacturer was notified.
The contact owns a 2024 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the touch screen display was frozen and became inoperable. During the failure, the contact was unable to access the 9-1-1 Emergency feature in the event of an emergency. The contact stated that the vehicle was restarted for the display screen to operate as intended. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer on seven occasions, but the failure was not yet corrected after a software update was performed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was referred back to the local dealer. The failure mileage was 12,000.
Abnormal wear to the brake pads, has always been a slight noise in the wheel from brand new. Now at 10,500 miles being told the brake pads and rotors are shot. I consider this to be extremely abnormal for a well cared for vehicle with very low mileage.
This Maverick truck has developed a Strong shake upon acceleration. Noticeable lower speeds at acceleration or load. Front passenger side. The tires have been rebalanced, rotated, and even purchased new after irregular front passenger tire wear. 50K Continental tires worn out at 24K. No bent rims, no warped tires. No suspension tie rod play or flex with vehicle suspended. No motor mount play. The axles' dust shields are in-tack, but the wobble is from the passenger side axle. Under warranty but premature wear at 25,000 miles. Feel vibration with wheels spinning and place a stick of lumber as resistance. feel vibration.
Twice in the last two months the vehicle completely lost the ability to accelerate while driving. While the vehicle was in motion, the accelerator lost all tension and you could put your foot the floor without the vehicle moving. The vehicle still had all other power, including power steering, stereo, lights and power breaks. The first incident occurred last month at low speed in a residential area. The vehicle was able to coast to the sidewalk in front of house. A few minutes later the vehicle started up without issue and was able to be driven home. Afterwards, the vehicle was taken to a local repair show who checked the battery and alternator, but they did not find any issue. Earlier today, the vehicle was being driven at 45-50 miles per hour on a two lane highway without a shoulder. The vehicle started to decelerate while the driver, my daughter, pushed the gas pedal to the floor. The vehicle would not respond and she was luckily able to pull into the driveway of a home. The vehicle did not produce any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to this loss in acceleration. I arrived 4-5 minutes later and the vehicle was able to be driven to home afterwards. We will be taking in to a dealership for a more thorough look at any issues. We would be willing to have the vehicle inspected. This is an astonishing issue to have on a vehicle less than two years old. The loss of power on a freeway could be incredibly dangerous we both the driver of this truck and to other drivers. We live in a hilly area and a safe place to pull off to the side cannot be always guaranteed. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear?
Radio sound will not work
When I turn left or right my steering-wheel, slowly at intersections, I hear a loud "click" sound inside my truck's cabin, so loud that I cannot realize where the sound comes out from. My steering performance is smooth, and I cannot feel anything wrong or any shaking, with the steering column. Just ONE loud click sound, every time when I turn slowly. This has been happening since October 2024. Thank you!
