| May 2025 | STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Water intrusion on front passenger side of vehicle causing mold. Vehicle still has original windshield and all original carpet and interior.

| Apr 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | 2022 Ford Maverick had water build up under the front passenger seat floor. I'm at 3.5 years of ownership and the dealer is telling me it will cost $1100 to fix because of an improperly installed windshield and cowl issue which ruined the internal filter and air circulation motor. Now i have to pay out of pocket because of a crappy manufacturer defect. I have seen in Maverick forums that this is a common issue and yet we are the ones having to fork out the cash. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Mar 2025 | POWER TRAIN | My truck's CV axles broke around 20,000 miles. Replacement parts weren't available. This was a safety issue because I expected a new truck with low mileage to be reliable. If I wasn't technically inclined, I might not have understood the danger. The dealership replaced them under warranty, but they didn't inspect the broken parts. The truck shook badly when accelerating, which was the warning sign. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Vehicle CV Axels going bad repeatedly. Replaced them 3 times. Luckily we've discovered the CV axel failures in low speeds. If it fails at the wrong time like during a turn on the highway, it could cause a serious accident. Plus the cost and inconvenience of repeated repairs continue to be an issue on such a new truck. Most owners report the same issue happening on Maverick forums. It seems lie this program is too common to be ignored. When we contact Ford dealerships parts are never available (back ordered) and it takes weeks to get this replaced adding more complexity to this situation. Formally requesting this issue to be reviewed at the NHTSA level. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | At a intersection turning lane as I got a green arrow, ( as I pushed down on accelerator)a loud pop sounded and all vehicle operations stopped immediately. The battery had popped in the top front side, with battery liquid all over battery. No hazard lights, no putting into gear, only driver door operational at a very busy intersection. Flagging traffic and trying to call for new battery, very tough. Plant city Florida police arrived 20 minutes later. They waited with me until 40 minutes a battery arrived. I cleaned up acid with towel I had in front and tech changed battery. [THIS INCIDENT [XXX]- intersection [XXX] ] I can't express th [XXX] ot changing every battery thats compromised is beyond crazy. I paid $385 for the battery and spent $10 thousand of my life in that intersection. Fords are a lifetime of Dad's/my Family vehicle purchase history and I wish I had some of Ford Brass in the intersection with me. If they think they have a problem, I can guarantee it. Bartow Ford can't do anything because ( its Ford problem/remedy. I was discouraged they didn't say bring it in, but my buying any future product may be my remedy. Their were no warning lights, no smells from engine, no signs of any whisps of smoke coming up from hood. All I can finish with is when it happens, your out of business completely, where ever your at. The tech took the battery and I didn't take a picture because getting out of traffic was No.1. You can't sit inside and read your manual, with no emergency hazards at a busy intersection. You won't get this adrenaline rush/anxiety on a Universal thrill ride. You have a good chance of being hit by one or more vehicles on the inside or outside.

| Jan 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | This is possibly more information regarding the known back-up camera recall NHTSA 24V684. After backing out of a parking space 1/26/2025, the camera froze (not the first time) and this time a message appeared in the upper left corner that read: "Indexing Nexus". I have also had on other occasions times where the Infotainment system itself would freeze with no warning and when the back up camera was not in use. I suspect the recall addressing the camera issue is only part of this and that the system itself has issues not related to the camera. Pressing and holding the POWER and Fast Forward buttons forcing a system restart restored usability. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
