“Vehicle started experiencing loss of power while driving on the highway. After having it towed to the local Ford dealership, we were informed that our transmission was shot and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had 62k miles on and no dash light warning and no ford pass warnings about the issue. It cost us $7k to replace and 4 months without the vehicle.”

NHTSA complaint #11733606, filed 2026-04

“Ford has 25N09 addressing the axles for the 2022 Ford Mavericks built later in the 2021 year, but mine was built in September of 21. I have axle issues as well, and this is the first vehicle I've ever had that's this new and has clunking in the CV axles. Mine clunks loudly, and the truck has 114k on it.”

NHTSA complaint #11740369, filed 2026-05

“Front CV axles. Front end shakes really bad at 30-50 mph. Dealer changed front passenger side CV axle but it still shakes really bad. I'll be bringing it back to the dealership, but warranty expires soon they need to have a recall and a better replacement part for this fix. I am not the only one with this problem.”

NHTSA complaint #11634785, filed 2025-01

“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.”

NHTSA complaint #11647390, filed 2025-03

“driving down I 90 at 65 mph, powertrain/ power malfunction light came on and power was reduced to 20 mph. Very dangerous . This happened at least 4 times until I was able to return home. shut truck off and would go until the warning light came back on. contacting dealer tomorrow”
