ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
At 6k miles my early build 2022 ford maverick hybrid died entirely while sitting in the garage. The truck can be jumped but will not hold a charge beyond that one use. The battery is fine according to the dealer, but it appears internal connections are not correct, causing the truck to die after every use. Ford is saying this might not be under warranty when the truck is an obvious lemon. Other owners are reporting the same issue with the hybrid models on various internet pages. It seems to be a common issue that should be subject to a recall.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
While driving on the highway the engine would not go over 50% power, there was no check engine light and the truck felt significantly slower. When I exited the highway the problem persisted and the truck was slow even on city streets. I completed my 100mi trip and when I got home I turned the truck off. 30 minutes later I took it for a short trip and and since then there's been no issues. The loss of power is unexplained and concerning, it would have been difficult to merge on the highway or drive without knowing if my vehicle had full power when I need it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
My truck repeatedly enters "Deep Sleep" mode. According to Ford, "Deep Sleep" mode activates when: (a) Vehicle inactivity for 14 consecutive days (b) The battery voltage drops below 9.5 volts; or (c) Extremely cold/hot weather conditions. My truck is never inactive for 14 days and has never been in extreme cold/hot weather conditions. Therefore I can only conclude severe voltage drops from the battery. The internet is full of complaints about this truck entering deep sleep mode and then failing to turn on again, even with a jump start. I'm concern for my safety that this vehicle will leave me stranded.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
Headlights will sometimes not turn off even if the vehicle is completely shut down. Headlights will remain on and I'm concerned the battery will drain. It happened immediately after taking delivery but it is intermittent. I have since found that other models of Ford have a service bulletin for the same part in different models including Mach-E (SSM 50869) and F-150 (SSM 51058). The same SSM should also apply to 2022 Ford Mavericks like mine.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Car would not accelerate under full power. When I fully depressed the gas pedal, the power meter (hybrid gauge instead of rpm) would only go up to 45%, the engine sounded like it was revving high but the car barely made any power. After a few minutes of this happening I got a message in my instrument cluster to immediately stop the vechicle, along with a red triangle with exclamation point dash light, at which point the car lost power, and started decelerating rapidly (as if in full regeneration mode (electric braking)) in the middle of the highway. I barely had enough time to get over 2 lanes of traffic and stop on the shoulder. I tried turning off the car, and on and the shifter wouldn't even go out of the P position (I physically couldn't turn it.) After a couple minutes I tried starting car again at which point car started with the check engine light on and drove normally like nothing ever happened.

Potential Consequences:
On my way home from a 200 mile trip, approx. 10 miles from home, engine lost power so I glided to the side of the road, as it slowly lurched to a stop on a rural highway. I wasn't able to get it off the highway as there was little to no shoulder so I backed it into a driveway, shut it off, looked under the hood, under body, tires, everything looked normal. Got back in, turned the key and hit the gas pedal hard and it wasn't lurching and said it was moving under all electric and that got me 3\4 ers of a mile down the road on all electric, then it died again and half the truck was sticking out onto the road. Attempts to put the truck in neutral to push off the road into a nearby residential driveway didn't work as every time i would get it in and try to leave the vehicle seat to push it would pop back into park. Dash Indicator display showed the battery symbol and engine lite and Fordpass alert showed up on my phone. Said it was going into deep sleep mode to preserve the high voltage battery power. Found out this morning 09/26/2022 there is a Ford TSB out to repair these battery cable, battery, electrical issues. The 12v battery cable to the engine fuse box connector has a bad weld connection.

Potential Consequences:
Like many others have reported, when I apply the brakes in low speed situations, there are times when the brakes respond as if they are not going to stop. Then, there are other times when the brakes seem to grab and stop the truck abruptly with a clunking sound. The brakes at times respond normally and without problem and then other times unpredictably grabbing or appearing to have no stopping at all requiring driver to reapply the brakes to safely prevent an accident. May be a software problem in the regenerative braking to mechanical braking system but definitely needs to be addressed.

Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Under 5 miles an hour, brakes are sometimes unresponsive or inconsistent for the first couple of degrees. When creeping up on another vehicle, parking spot, or building it gets nerve-racking when the breaks don't catch causing me to react and gradually press the breaks harder until it catches all at once and I'm jerked forward. When the breaks catch, there's also a loud thunk. I suspect it's something to do with the regenerative breaking system.
