“Dealership confirms CV joints on my new 2023 Maverick are spewing out grease with violent vibration while driving. Was able to safely pull over before vibration became worse. No prior warning prior to or during axle failure. Vehicle is still at the dealership awaiting parts that are apparently on backlog. Upon further research I found that I am one of many Maverick owners experiencing premature failure of CV joints.”
NHTSA complaint #11562905, filed 2024-01“I recently reported my Ford maverick for the failure of the front right CV joint/axle at 22k miles. Well when I picked it up from Ford. They notified me that the front left is also bad. And I'm at 23k miles. These are clearly an issue that's happening everywhere.”
NHTSA complaint #11646623, filed 2025-03“The cv joint axles are failing. No axles on a new car or truck should EVER fail under 100k miles. Ford maverick axles are failing at under 50k miles. And mine failed at 22k miles. And Ford will only replace 1 at a time. Not only is this a manufacturer defect that can cause accidents or injury but Ford needs to yet again be held accountable. No one pays good money for a factory faulty vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11645445, filed 2025-02“The contact owns a 2023 Ford Maverick. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH, there was a loud clucking sound coming from the front end of the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with a fractured front stabilizer and stabilizer link. The front stabilizer and stabilizer link were replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer had not been made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 8,000.”
