ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
When I go to stop the vehicle brakes take longer to catch on to stop the vehicle. This has been an ongoing problem since vehicle pick up March 2022. I drove my truck in the last snow fall we received and when I went to brake it was much worse than in normal conditions. It felt like I slid into the stop and had to push the brakes really hard and my kids heads jerked trying to brake. Clearly is a safety issue. When I was in a drive thru waiting for my food the truck jerked forward and it felt like the transmission was falling out.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
My hybrid has an occasional shudder/rattle/vibration noise when the gas engine switches off. Started around 1900 miles on the odometer. Occurs at all speeds with the most noticeable shudder/rattle/vibration noise when stopped. I was worried that the transmission may cease to work and leave me stranded in traffic. There were no errors codes and no warning lights. Has been at the Ford dealer for 26 days as of today with no resolution nor a diagnosis.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
When braking at slow speed and almost stopped, the brakes grab hard suddenly and prematurely then lock without pushing the brake pedal any harder. Happens when I'm just slowing to stop. I have not taken the vehicle in for this. I have not had an accident. No one has been hurt. It is a safety risk stopping short of the intended spot. Driver and passengers suddenly getting jerked forward when not prepared. Loud bang or grabbing noise. Could be rear ended due to sudden unplaned braking. Doesn't occur everytime. No dash indicator lights on when this occurs. Brakes release is normal after this occasion. This has happened numerous times since purchase in March 2022.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Vehicle was in traffic traveling 5-7 mph applied brakes, they failed to engage. Continued to apply more pressure without effect to speed. After three to four seconds of forward momentum and continuing to apply steady pressure to brakes, brakes engaged forcefully causing the wheels to lock up. This was without warning. This has been happening more frequently and with more randomness. Due to the hating motion, this latest event compounded a prior injury in my back and passenger shoulder (from the seat belt locking). Reported problem to dealer, was told this was normal. This has happened many times prior, this is the first time it caused an injury.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Breaks not responding or working correctly at low speed... At low speed the break pedal will suddenly become "soft" and vehicle will surge forward until the break pedal is moved a significant distance downward in some cases causing a very abrupt stop from having to slam on the breaks. The other situation during slow speed is that the breaks will suddenly stop short and hard. Then you will need to release the break to move forward causing the above situation to occur where the break pedal becomes soft and takes a lot of downward travel to achieve the same level of breaking. I am an experienced driver of many years and have owned or rented hybrids and EV's and none have had breaks that responded as dangerously as the 2022 Ford Maverick. I have nearly hit two other stationary vehicles in a parking lot and while at a stop light as well as nearly hitting someone that was walking between parking spaces as the this vehicle surged forward from a sudden loss of breaking at low speed. As you can imagine this also causes many looks of concern from observers as your vehicle is surging and stopping abruptly while driving in parking lots or traffic. I purchased this vehicle for my family to use and I don't want them use it due to these safety concerns. The breaks work as expected on highways at higher speeds, only issue is during slow speed breaking. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
About two weeks after first buying the car I noticed that when breaking the pedal requires inconsistent extra pressure at times to stop the car. Also while breaking and coming to a slow downhill stop the front end makes an odd clunk sound while jerking to a stop. These things only happen very infrequently, so when I took it to the Hansel Ford dealership (in Santa Rosa, Ca.) they could not repeat the sound or breaking effect. The first time I heard the noise I thought I hit something. I feel that the inconsistent breaking could pose a safety issue, making it harder to stop, and potentially causing a collision. I called Ford consumer assistance, they gave me case # [XXX], and asked me to return it to the dealer. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
