ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Drove vehicle, stopped and turned off the vehicle. No lights, no power nothing at all. Jumped vehicle and drove the vehicle home with no issues. I tried to restart the vehicle and nothing at all again. 12 volt battery was tested and found to be in good condition so it was not the battery. I had the vehicle towed to the dealer.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Since taking ownership of this vehicle I have regularly experienced low speed braking anomalies. Sometimes it seems as if the vehicle may not stop and when I apply slightly more pressure the brakes grab and come to an unnerving quick stop. Sometimes there is a loud clunk sound that accompanies it. It is unpredictable as to which low speed braking attempts will cause it to occur and I am always wary in stop/go traffic. I have been driving for almost 50 years and have never had this problem with a vehicles brakes unless there was something wrong!

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
When driving at slow speeds the brakes seem to have a “dead space”. The brakes slowly engage, don’t engage at all (hence dead space) then abruptly stop the vehicle. There is also a loud clunk associated with it. On one occasion the brakes would not engage at all causing me to nearly hit the vehicle in front of me. I had to pump the brake in order to stop abruptly, creating a dangerous situation. I took it to one ford dealer who claimed they couldn’t replicate the issue. The following week I took it to another in which they were able to replicate it however advised the can’t seem to find anything wrong with the system to be able to fix it.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
At slower speeds (typically in congested traffic situations) the brakes will sometimes 'lock up' when vehicle is traveling below 5 MPH. The sudden and unexpected brake application will sometimes cause the vehicle to suddenly stop, jarring the passengers and could potentially cause a following vehicle to collide with the rear of my vehicle. This occurs sporadically, and despite my best efforts to adapt my driving habits, I am still unable to predict when the brakes will suddenly apply themselves.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
(2.5L Hybrid) The brakes are not consistent at low speeds - (i.e. when creeping up in traffic). The physical brakes often fail to react to any driver input for several seconds or until brake pressure is increased significantly. There was recently an event when the adaptive cruise control was activated in stop-and-go traffic where traffic ahead moved up slightly, but the vehicle failed to slow to a stop until the driver intervened. A red warning message popped up, but was not able to be read before disappearing, and adaptive cruise control was unavailable until the next ignition cycle. There is a high risk of a low speed accident with the way the brakes are currently calibrated.

Potential Consequences:
The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle decelerated as if the transmission was slipping. The contact pulled into his residence driveway when he noticed smoke coming from under the hood. The contact opened the hood and a large amount of gray smoke coming from the engine compartment. The contact used a garden hose to put out the smoke. The contact stated that he never saw a flame; however, he smelled the odor of burnt plastic. The contact stated the vehicle then failed to start-up. The contact had the vehicle towed to a local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the 300 AMP fuse was burnt and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The contact stated that he received a letter from the manufacturer for NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V484000 (Engine and Engine Cooling, Structure). The failure mileage was approximately 4,700.

But for what it is worth I do want to report my dead Maverick after only six months and 7k miles and zero issues up til now. I love this truck to death I hope they solve this issue.

Potential Consequences:
Yesterday I pulled into a gas station and the moment I turned the key off everything went dark. Usually the radio and instrument cluster stay on for a bit until I open the door but not this time. 5 minutes later it finally came back on, after me trying to investigate what's happening. Thought it was a fluke and drove about 45 minutes away to an appointment and got stuck for an hour or two until I could get someone to jump me. Then drove home, turned the key off same thing happened again. The only way to get the vehicle on is to jump it. 12v battery reads 13.6v on my voltmeter, but under the hood near the fusebox it's only reading 3.36v. They are supposed to be the same which means there's an electrical wire harness issue or a loose connection somewhere. Been driving this since Jan with no issues at all. I drive around 2 kids aged 4 and 16 months. Getting stranded over 45 minutes away from my house with 2 kids isn't safe, it could have been worse on a 86 degree day. I've read online forum multiple people having these same issues with this hybrid truck. Picture below with purple circle is where people are stating the issue is from.

The only way to get the vehicle on is to jump it. 12v battery reads 13.6v on my voltmeter, but under the hood near the fusebox it's only reading 3.36v. They are supposed to be the same which means there's an electrical wire harness issue or a loose connection somewhere. Been driving this since Jan with no issues at all. I drive around 2 kids aged 4 and 16 months. Getting stranded over 45 minutes away from my house with 2 kids isn't safe, it could have been worse on a 86 degree day. I've read online forum multiple people having these same issues with this hybrid truck. Picture below with purple circle is where people are stating the issue is from.
