“while i was driving the truck lost power and i could not turn on my 4 way flashers when i was on the side of the road. when i called ford and asked if i would replace the battery if i would get compensation they told me no even though there is a recall”

NHTSA complaint #11642103, filed 2025-02

“On Thursday (June 13, 2024) my truck displayed a fault that states Rear Belt Monitor Fault Service Required, at the same time my air bag light came on. I proceeded to work and found a lot of people have had this issue with their Ford Mavericks but have all said it is actually their drivers seatbelt with the issue. My husband thought he would test it to see and while driving he took his seatbelt off, the airbag light and fault went away but also even driving at highway speeds it never told us the seatbelt was off. …”

NHTSA complaint #11595099, filed 2024-06

“I was hit by another car in between the passenger side front door and the passenger side back door. I was hit with enough force to push me off the road. There was no side airbag deployment.”

NHTSA complaint #11507163, filed 2023-02

“The side curtain airbags in my 2022 Ford Maverick have been recalled, but the replacement parts will not be available for 5-6 months. This is a Massive safety concern for me as I drive the truck with my 1 and 3-year-old daughters. This is a dangerous situation that I am being told can not be remedied in a timely manner. I can not be expected to cover the added cost of a rental vehicle for close to half of a year and I refuse to put my children and myself in danger by continuing to use this faulty vehicle.”

NHTSA complaint #11486758, filed 2022-09

“I was involved in an accident. During the accident none of the airbags deployed. The impact was so hard that it lifted the truck up off the ground and spinned us around 90 degrees. This resulted in the individuals seated on the passenger side of the truck to be thrown into the door fairly hard, with one passenger hitting her head on the window even with the seatbelt on. The point of impact was the drivers side back tire and bumper area.”
