What Owners Say
"The problem started within days of getting the vehicle. The backup camera doesnt work intermittently. Ford replaced the camera once, but that didnt solve the problem. It appears to be some sort of connection issue. I cannot predict when it will work or not. When it works, it works great, but it doesnt work approximately half the time."

Anonymous, MA (2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid Lariat 2.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"The screen freezes and goes black. This seems to be related, as best as I can tell, to having an iPhone connected to Apple Car Play at the same time that same phone is connected to the standard infotainment via bluetooth. First thing I do after starting the truck is plug in my Iphone to the usb port. From the very beginning, I noticed there would sometimes be a significant lag in all the electronics starting up and cycling through their processes, if you will. I then began waiting until the native Ford electronics were fully up before plugging in my Iphone. Either way, the screen would sometimes freeze or go black. Not every day. Maybe not even every week. But at least once a month. When I noticed that the bluetooth was attempting to connect at the same time the Apple Car Play was attempting to load, and the screen was alternating between the ACP and native Ford screen, I then disconnected my Iphone from the bluetooth Ford. It has seemed to work better since, though it has only been a week or so since the last screen freeze. These freezes are significant enough that I pull over to fix them. VERY annoying, especially in a new vehicle. Other than that, there have been two recalls so far, both for electronic updates, one of which I have not yet had time to complete. I very much like the truck otherwise, though some of the interior/parts seem a bit cheap. At least I don't get upset when the inevitable wear and tear occur since it is not a $60K luxury vehicle. It's my first truck, it is nimble, and - but for the electronics - I really do like it very much."

Anonymous A., NY (2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid XL 2.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"The infotainment system freezes. Sometimes, nothing operates, and sometimes, only the radio works. The map display also stops working. The only fix I have found for this is to complete a master system reset. Once the reset is completed, the phones and other system steps must be set up again. This is the only weakness of an otherwise outstanding vehicle."

This also affects Google Maps display not functioning. This is part of the problem I have listed in the infotainment electronics question previously asked."

Anonymous, MD (2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid Lariat 2.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"Intermittently, no sound will come through the speakers. It happens 1-2 times every month. More of a nuisance than anything."
Anonymous, AZ (2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid Lariat 2.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"Once the speakers started putting out loud static even with the truck turned off and the key removed from the truck. I had to do about a dozen hard resets on the radio. It finally reset and has worked OK since the one time. I took it to the dealer to check it out but they couldn't get to it in a timely manner so I am just driving it. I love the truck and I plan to buy another hybrid Maverick in the future."
