Owners report a cluster of electrical and control system failures, many following software recall updates. The most severe incidents involve sudden loss of drive power, limp mode activation, unintended acceleration, and autonomous braking while driving—some on highways at speed. One owner experienced complete power loss with all systems shutting down on a busy six-lane boulevard moments after a recall service. Several owners describe the vehicle going into neutral unexpectedly, engaging the emergency brake without driver input, or self-accelerating in both forward and reverse directions.
The 12-volt battery emerges as a chronic failure point, particularly in hybrid models. Owners report the vehicle repeatedly entering "deep sleep" mode, disabling interior lights, door locks, windows, and safety features. Multiple owners have visited dealerships five to seven times for battery issues, received replacements under warranty only to experience the same symptoms days later, and face out-of-pocket repairs once warranty expires. One owner was forced to carry a jump box for reliability.
Software-related failures appear as a pattern: owners report limp mode, loss of throttle response, multiple warning light cascades, and inability to accelerate occurring within days of recall service. Backup camera freezing or delayed activation creates safety concerns during reversing. Infotainment screens freeze intermittently, sometimes unable to power down. Pre-collision assist systems trigger false alerts—passing oncoming vehicles or police cars with emergency lights. One owner sustained ear injuries from a loud exploding noise from the speakers during startup. Parking brake failure, window regulators failing, and turn signal/brake light failures round out the electrical issues documented.
Same Ford Maverick electrical reports on nearby years: 2022
Vehicle loses acceleration response, enters limp mode with speed restricted to 30–35 mph, and multiple warning lights illuminate. Occurs while driving at normal speeds with complete loss of throttle control. Several incidents documented after software recall updates.
When: During normal driving; incidents reported at 7,000–45 mph speeds; often within days of software recall service
Symptoms owners cite: Sudden loss of acceleration response; Vehicle enters limp mode with restricted speed (30–35 mph max); Multiple warning lights illuminate simultaneously (ESC, ABS, MIL, wrench icon, collision assist, hill assist); Loss of throttle input despite foot on pedal; Slow deceleration or sudden braking; Vehicle continues at reduced speed without driver control
Codes mentioned: Limp mode activation, Service wrench icon, ESC failure, ABS light, MIL (Check Engine Light)
Repairs/costs cited: Dealers clear codes and perform software reprogramming; failures recur. One owner reported dealer could not replicate issue and simply cleared codes without documenting the unintended acceleration complaint.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Software recalls (25V158000, 25V019000, 23V848000, 24V684000, 25V123000, 26V104000 mentioned but not all linked to this failure). Some owners cite software updates immediately preceding failures but Ford has not issued public advisories for post-recall acceleration or limp mode issues.
Vehicle self-accelerates to 30–40 mph without driver input, including in reverse. Occurs after driver removes foot from brake. Vehicle continues accelerating even when driver depresses accelerator pedal normally would not. Extremely dangerous when occurring on highways or in traffic.
When: After software recalls; one incident at 30 mph on residential street; another at low speed while shifting into reverse; pattern reported in multiple online forums
Symptoms owners cite: Vehicle accelerates on its own to 30–40 mph; Acceleration continues when driver's foot is off brake; Self-acceleration in reverse without driver input; Loss of normal throttle response correlation; Vehicle must be controlled by continuous brake application
Codes mentioned: Limp mode codes, Powertrain malfunction warnings
Repairs/costs cited: Dealers clear codes but cannot replicate issue. One owner reported dealer failed to document the unintended acceleration complaint in service records despite verbal report.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: No recall issued for unintended acceleration. Owners report finding Reddit threads with multiple affected owners but no satisfactory explanation provided by Ford. One owner notes software may have been defective per recent recall.
Vehicle suddenly shifts into neutral on the road, eliminating engine braking and forward propulsion. Occurs at highway speeds (45 mph), forcing driver to navigate traffic without engine power. All dash warning lights activate and parking brake engages automatically.
When: At approximately 9,200 miles after two service recalls performed during oil change
Symptoms owners cite: Sudden shift to neutral while driving; Loss of acceleration ability; Vehicle slows due to lack of engine braking; All warning lights illuminate; Check engine light activates; Parking brake engages automatically at low speed (~5 mph); Unable to disengage parking brake initially
Codes mentioned: Check engine light, Wrench icon, Multiple warning lights
Repairs/costs cited: Errors initially not visible to dealer technician; became visible after second dealership visit. Vehicle shifted back to normal operation after restart.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: No recall issued. Owner notes this is 'called limp mode' and Ford is not proactively addressing it. Issue reportedly occurs after recall service on multiple vehicles.
Battery drains parasitically when vehicle is not in use, causing repeated entry into 'deep sleep' mode. Hybrid models particularly affected. Battery management system or reserve capacity appears insufficient for vehicle electrical demands. Vehicle becomes unreliable—will not start without jump box or multiple jump-starts.
When: Occurs from early ownership (1,700 miles reported); chronic throughout ownership. One owner reports issue spanning almost two years; another reports daily occurrence for two months.
Symptoms owners cite: Vehicle enters 'deep sleep' mode with no interior lights; Exterior lights fail to illuminate upon unlocking; Cabin lights fail upon entering vehicle; Battery charge drops below specification (11.4V instead of 12V even after overnight charging); Mobile app displays 'battery in sleep mode' and disables vehicle functions; Vehicle difficult or fails to start; Requires jumpstart to restart after deep sleep; Repeated entry into battery saver mode every 24 hours or even daily
Codes mentioned: Battery saver alerts, Low battery warnings in mobile app, 25V019000 (Electrical System), 25V158000 (Power Train, Electrical System)
Repairs/costs cited: Dealers replace battery under warranty; issue recurs within days. Out-of-warranty replacements become owner responsibility. Some owners replace OEM battery with aftermarket AGM batteries with temporary success. One owner reports dealer charged for Ford battery despite Safety Recall 25S02 mandating no-cost replacement.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: NHTSA Campaigns 25V019000 and 25V158000 address electrical system; however, many affected VINs not included in recall. SSM 51725 removes app notification of deep sleep without fixing underlying issue. Dealers perform unknown reprogramming with mixed results. Manufacturer told one owner the deep sleep issue is 'normal' after two reports. Safety Recall 25S02 mandates battery replacement but dealer compliance varies.
Backup camera fails to display or displays with significant lag (5–10 seconds) during reversing. Occasionally freezes completely for extended periods, disabling safety function. Infotainment screen may freeze simultaneously, unable to reset.
When: Occurs intermittently; one owner reports every other time in reverse; another reports 6-hour failure; incidents logged at 9,000 miles and during normal operation
Symptoms owners cite: Backup camera image freezes or goes blank; 5–10 second delay before camera activates after shifting to reverse; Camera display lags during active reversing; Screen froze while driving with maps displayed; reverse camera did not work for 6 hours until vehicle sat overnight; Infotainment screen freezes and cannot reset or power down; Rearview camera image completely blank upon reversing
Codes mentioned: No codes reported; system malfunction only evident during use, 24V684000 (Back Over Prevention) recall mentioned but parts unavailable

Symptoms owners cite: Infotainment screen freezes and becomes unresponsive; Cannot power down or reset frozen screen; Instrument panel fails to illuminate upon vehicle start; Instrument cluster darkens and becomes inoperable; Radio unresponsive and requires hard reset; Screen freezes while driving with maps displayed
Codes mentioned: No diagnostic codes reported, 25V123000 (Electrical System) mentioned but VIN not included in recall
Repairs/costs cited: One instrument cluster darkening incident resolved by battery replacement. Other freezing incidents not repaired—dealers unable to diagnose or replicate.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: NHTSA Campaign 25V123000 exists but affected VINs incomplete. Interface module replaced under warranty in one case; same failure occurred within weeks of replacement.
Auto start/stop feature shuts off engine at traffic lights, then restarts with significant delay (approximately 1 additional second) or aggressive revving when driver depresses accelerator. Vehicle lurches forward unexpectedly upon restart. Feature cannot be permanently disabled—must be toggled manually each trip.
When: During normal city driving at traffic lights and stops; recurring each trip
Symptoms owners cite: Engine shuts off at stop lights during auto start/stop; Delayed engine restart (~1 second longer than normal); Engine revs hard from starting when foot on accelerator; Vehicle darts or lurches forward upon restart; Vehicle auto-stops while driver is shifting to reverse; Vehicle 'jumps' backward after shifting to reverse when auto-stop activates; Engine restart response slow in traffic conditions
Codes mentioned: Battery-related codes (battery recall noted), 25V019000 mentioned in relation to battery issues

Recalls/TSBs owners mention: No recall for auto start/stop malfunction. Ford refuses to provide permanent disable function. Owners forced to pay for aftermarket disable product. Battery recall exists (25V019000) due to starting issues in traffic conditions.
Pre-collision assist system activates false alerts for non-threatening objects such as oncoming vehicles in opposite lane or police vehicles on roadside with emergency lights. System applies steering and braking control during false alerts, creating unexpected vehicle behavior.
When: During normal highway and street driving
Symptoms owners cite: False alerts when passing oncoming vehicle in opposite lane; False alerts triggered by police vehicles on roadside with flashing lights; System applies braking and steering control during false alerts; Multiple false activations (three instances reported in one complaint); Lowering alert sensitivity to 'low' reduces but does not eliminate false alerts
Codes mentioned: No diagnostic codes; system design deficiency
Repairs/costs cited: No repair available. Owner reduced alert sensitivity setting; issue persists.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: No recall issued. System remains active even with lowered sensitivity.
Parking brake engages automatically without driver input, particularly during limp mode events. Brake cannot be disengaged immediately, trapping vehicle. Emergency brake failure occurs in isolation as well.
