Ford Maverick Hybrid

""I have never successfully paired the Maverick with Android Auto. I tried connected via USB, downloading the Ford Connect app. I need to take to Ford before the warranty expires and have them walk me through this.""

"The Display screen and Backup display (Same Monitor) freeze up at times, not allowing me to control the displayno reset function known to repair without turning the vehicle off."

"Started about a year ago. Truck indicated that the FordPass system was disabled because the battery was low. It wasn't"

""The 12 volt battery does not always maintain a full charge. The 12 volt battery powers the body management system and if it gets too low a voltage it will not allow the vehicle to start, even thou the engine starts with power from the vehicle high voltage drive battery. This was a very real problem during the winter here in North Dakota. All the accessories in the vehicle get power to operate from the 12 volt battery. Power steering pump, brake pressure pump, coolant circulating pump, heated steering wheel, heated seats, air conditioning compressor (which operates when the defrost is turned on). Many Maverick Hybrid owners have had problems with the 12 volt battery system. Several times during the winter my truck would not start because the 12 volt battery had low voltage. I purchased a "jump pack" so as not to get stranded. all that is necessary is to hook up the jump pack and it starts right up, it provides the additional voltage for the body management system to work. The Ford dealer replaced the 390 cold cranking amp (flood) battery with a new 470 cod cranking amp (flood) battery under warranty. The dealer said they were having a lot of similar problems with other Maverick Hybrids. After I discussed the issue in detail with the service advisor they ordered a Ford 540 cold cranking amp (AGM) battery which they traded for the battery they had put in under warranty and the dealer did this for customer care at no cost to me. I had no other issues with the 12 volt battery for the rest of the winter or since the new AGM battery. Ford Motor Company knows they have a problem with the 12 volt battery and/or the charging system that keeps it fully charged and they say they are working on a fix. I like this truck a lot and hope they get this issue resolved. From What I read on social media I think it is an issue with a lot of the Maverick hybrids, but even more so during the winter in the colder parts of the country. BTW, when the 12 volt battery is at low voltage the body management system will shut down many safety systems so it is also a safety issue.""

"12v lead acid battery would not hold a charge. Had to use a trickle battery charger if it sat and not driven more than 2 days. Ford replaced it under warranty at no charge with a new lead acid battery. They would not install an AMG battery that they use in other models as I requested."

""Dealer replaced the 12V battery under warranty because the FordPass app is unable to connect to the vehicle, saying it is in "deep sleep" mode due to insufficient battery power. However it starts and runs fine. Many Maverick Hybrid owners have experienced this problem. It may be an issue with how the FordPass app communicates with the vehicle. Some owners report success by replacing the "flooded" 12V battery with an AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery.""

"Does not start 50% of the time. Still in Ford service department and unable to diagnose the problem."

"Three months after I bought it, I had to jump start it. 8 to 10 months later, I had to jump start it again. They claim the recalls I had on were going to fix it."

"The car would flash as warning and lose power and say to get immediate service. I could turn it off and wait then turn it back on and it would work. It only occurred when I had to suddenly brake once and twice when I quickly accelerated. They said it was a problem with the dampener and it was repaired under warranty. It took them two weeks to repair"
