“2023 Maverik Hybrid at around 30,000 miles Vehicle would start shaking while accelerating. I took it to the dealership and they had to replace all the components in the front end of the truck. I know have about 60,000 miles on the vehicle and I'm having the same shaking problem while accelerating. It looks like this is a common occurrence with this vehicle. It is no longer under warranty and is going to cost a lot to get fixed. Not excited about having a major repair every 30,000 miles.”
NHTSA complaint #11675450, filed 2025-07“Started to develop a rumble/stumble upon acceleration. It seems to be getting worse. Finally took it in the dealer. The dealer confirmed that it is the CV axles. They need replacing. Dealer said no parts in stock and not sure when they will arrive. WTH. I asked about driving and they said keep on motoring. What. How can this be good for all the other connected parts! It shutters so bad I am not confident it will not cause me to have an accident. This is a major issue with the drive-line components. …”
NHTSA complaint #11628223, filed 2024-12“For no reason the truck would not start. No electric signal at all inside the truck either. Also the ignition and steering were locked. Called Ford to send out someone to jump the truck. It then started right away. Also took to the Ford dealer to have them check it out. They could find nothing wrong. I also have had a problem with the truck not starting after driving it and then parking it. The battery will not respond, igniton will not work, not able to shift it at all. Completely locked up. I have to try starting the truck another couple of times for the green READY to come on. …”
NHTSA complaint #11583542, filed 2024-04“This vehicle has chronic clicking when turning , when taken to a mechnanic i was informed the CV Axles both were torn and that it was a common issue for the 22 ford mavericks and they issue replacements for free. However when it comes to this they don’t cover it. The issue is still present and left untreated could be a dangerous issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11742428, filed 2026-06“Cv axles went out at 55k causing shaking at highway speeds while accelerating. Frequently when starting the car the steering wont activate right away even after the car begins to move for 5-10 feet. Dealer cant replicate because it doesnt happen every time. But it is still doing it and may cause a crash in the future....”
