2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid

I have already had the cv axles replaced under the extended customer satisfaction program in January 2026, but today while doing a cross country move, the outer boot on the drivers side showed significant grease loss, and the inner boot on the passenger side tore off with a very severe clunk, noise, and shake while braking and accelerating. Thankfully the cv axle did not separate, but a failure could have resulted in a loss of control. This will be going to the dealership tomorrow. No warning lights, messages, or symptoms that I could observe before the 1000 mile trip across yesterday and today.

My 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid has twice suddenly entered limp mode and experienced a substantial loss of power. The first incident occurred on or about XXX. After leaving my subdivision, I turned onto [XXX], which has a posted speed limit of 55 mph. The vehicle immediately lost power and entered limp mode, and the engine and wrench warning lights appeared. The weather was clear and sunny. I was able to drive several miles at substantially reduced power and return home. On XXX, at 83,600 miles, Louisburg Ford retrieved DTC P1061, determined that Ford TSB 25-2454 applied, and reprogrammed the required modules. The second incident occurred on 9/13/2026. My husband and I were returning home after traveling through [XXX], [XXX], and [XXX]. We were driving northbound on I-35 near mile marker 182 at the [XXX] exit, just south of [XXX]. It was completely dark and storming, with rain and lightning, when the vehicle again entered limp mode and lost power in highway traffic. We were fortunate to have cellular service and a gas station nearby. Otherwise, we could have been stranded in dangerous conditions. On XXX, at 106,338 miles, the same dealer retrieved the same P1061 code and again applied TSB 25-2454 by reprogramming the PCM. The same loss-of-power condition, code, and Ford-prescribed repair recurred within approximately 11 months and 22,738 miles. The dealer advised that there is no guarantee it will not happen again. I am concerned that this sudden loss of acceleration or motive power could recur at highway speed and cause a crash. I request that NHTSA investigate this recurring condition and whether TSB [XXX] provides an adequate remedy.

What component or system failed, and is it available for inspection? The right frame engine mount, differential/rear mount, and upper engine mount were all torn or broken. Both front CV axle shafts also needed replacement. Repaired 8/17/2026 by Miami County Auto, Louisburg, KS (invoice #13092). No, I don't have the parts anymore. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The vehicle developed a wobble/vibration under acceleration that was reported as "getting worse" — pronounced enough to visibly shake objects in the cabin. The shop noted the engine mounts were torn/broken, allowing excess engine movement, which increases risk of further mount or drivetrain component failure and loss of vehicle control, especially at highway speeds or during hard acceleration. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent shop? Yes — confirmed and repaired by an independent shop (Miami County Auto) on 8/17/2026 at 104,205–104,211 miles. Not taken to a Ford dealer. Has the vehicle been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance, or others? No — only inspected and repaired by the independent repair shop noted above. Were there warning symptoms before failure, and when did they first appear? Yes — a wobble/vibration under acceleration that subsided when off the throttle, and progressively worsened over time before the repair. Originally I thought it was a recently repaired tire that was unbalanced. Took it to Ford dealership to rebalance. They said there was no wobble (there was) and took it the independent shop.

On 7-2-26, my 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid was brought to College Station Ford to receive the remedy for mandatory Safety Recall 24S59 (NHTSA Campaign 24V684000) regarding the frozen Rear View Camera display image. Prior to this service, the vehicle’s electrical, starting, and hybrid systems functioned flawlessly without error.Immediately following the completion of the recall service, which required a software flash of the Connected Touch Radio/Audio Control Module (ACM), the vehicle suffered a catastrophic module network failure resulting in a permanent no-start condition. The vehicle's Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and Body Control Module (BCM) have glitched into a permanent High-Voltage System Isolation Lockout loop.Independent professional laboratory load-testing has certified that the vehicle's low-voltage 12V auxiliary battery is healthy, fully charged, and completely functional. However, the vehicle can currently only be turned on by attaching an external 12V jump-pack directly to the battery system. This external voltage spike manually overrides the corrupted software communication loop, forcing the vehicle's electrical relays to close.The dealership has refused to remedy this botched recall programming, claiming the physical hybrid high-voltage lines have suddenly failed. Because a low-voltage 12V jump-pack cannot power or repair broken high-voltage traction lines, the vehicle is suffering from a software-induced safety lockout directly caused by the failed execution of Recall 24S59.This presents an active, extreme safety hazard. A hybrid powertrain suffering from un-remedied module communication failures and high-voltage isolation fault lockouts risks a sudden, unexpected, and catastrophic loss of motive power while operating at highway speeds on public roads.I am filing this report because the manufacturer's official recall remedy has introduced a dangerous, debilitating safety flaw to the vehicle's primary powertrain loop.

Driving on highway, approximately 65mph when all of a sudden the "door ajar" symbol on instrument panel lit / sound dinged, and the passenger who had their elbow on the door screamed. The passenger side door unlocked and "opened" as in it unlatched. It did not open all the way for her to fall out, but it was no longer fully closed. This is a 2022 vehicle. This happened for the first time in 2026 after 34k miles. There is an active recall for the same make / model but for some reason my VIN is not included. I'm pretty sure it should be after this experience.

While driving at normal speeds. Car completely stopped working. Dashboard flashed to get to safe area. I could not shift the car neutral. Steering became stiff. The lights and infotainment was still on but the car had no power to accelerate. Had this been on the highway I would have been in a collision since my car went to the right very quick. Once car was stopped could not shift to neutral.

Front end of vehicle suddenly started to shake violently when accelerating. Issue was reproduced any time when accelerating. No warning was indicated by the vehicle. Car was undrivable above 50 mph. Vehicle had 25K miles. Dealer reproduced issue. Diagnosed it as a catastrophic failure of both CV joints and front bearing(s). Dealer would not release vehicle as it was undrivable due to extreme safety issue. Parts arrived after a week and both CV joints & front bearing(s) were replaced. Online reporting for this vehicle shows this is a repeated issue which the manufacturer has a customer satisfaction bulletin but no recall.
