2025 Ford Maverick problems

“The contact's employer owns a 2025 Ford Maverick. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 MPH, the pre-collision warning light suddenly activated, and the vehicle abruptly stopped. After pulling over and waiting for several minutes, the contact was able to continue driving. The contact also had whiplash from the failure, and medical attention was needed. The contact mentioned completing 12 sessions of physical therapy. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The failure reoccurred a week later while driving approximately 30 MPH. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.”

“At 3k miles the turbocharger and parts within the transmission failed on my 2025 ford maverick, there were no warning lamps or messages on the dash but I had the symptoms of lack of power, the truck struggled to climb hills, it sounded like the turbo sound was coming through the air vents, and going uphill it almost stalled. I took it to one ford dealership who claimed it was normal operation before taking it to one of Fords commercial truck centers who diagnosed a turbo failure and various parts within the transmission have failed.”

“Loud Knocking from engine, CEL illuminated flashing, loss in power and had an active misfire in cyl #2. Upon inspection cyl #2 Spark plug electrode broke off/melted into the cylinder causing a gauge in the cylinder. Vehicle is being dropped off to the dealer for most likely an engine replacement.”

“A year ago while driving on the interstate, my Ford Maverick suddenly threw a "Stop Safely Now" alert. I was able to turn the ignition off and back on to safely exit the highway. The alert came back once I made it to a parking lot and stuck around for a while. I was able to get it started and drove to a Ford dealership that told me it was just a software update. The same issue happened 2 more times before I made it to my destination after leaving the dealership, showing that it actually wasn't caused by a missed software update. Returning from my trip it happened 4th time. Afterward, the issue seemed to go away. Now a year later I got in the Maverick to leave work and the alert came back. I was not able to get it started and will attempt to get it over to a Ford dealership tomorrow to be seen for what seems to be the same issue, only worse if it still is not starting in the morning.”

“not every time, but several times throughout driving around all day, i notice: the vehicle is in 'eco' driving mode, and while i start to slow down, lightly applying constant pressure to the brake pedal, the vehicle goes from a smooth constant slowing down pace, and all of a sudden, the vehicle seems to surge/lurch/lunge forward at a faster pace, and then a fraction of a second later, the vehicle then slows down closer to expected. Im not sure if its an issue with the hybrid eCVT , the regenerative hybrid braking, or the electronic ABS ... or some mixture of these systems. The griffin Ford dealership claims they cant re-create it, and there is no 'fix'. I drive around basically every day, and notice it now at least once to 10 times per day. the current local weather is around 20 degrees, up to maybe 50 at the hottest.”
