Owner report 11666164 · 2025-06-10 (June 10, 2025)
I have been on the open road in the Midwest today and the adaptive cruise control has been spontaneously accelerating, which is very dangerous. I have set the cruise control and then placed my hands at 10 and 2 o’clock on the steering wheel and I’m not touching any other controls and suddenly the truck starts to accelerate from the Speed. I have it set at to another 10 or 20 miles an hour and I have to hit the brake to kill it. I fully understand how adaptive cruise control works. This has nothing to do with the distance between my vehicle and …

Owner report 11679536 · 2025-08-09 (August 9, 2025)
I took delivery of vehicle from dealer on [XXX]. On [XXX] I was driving on the freeway when a high voltage sign and the message "Pull off road when safe" lit up the dashboard. The engine lost all power and I was able to coast to a stop on the shoulder. After 10-15 minutes, the vehicle would restart and I dropped at the dealership for a fix - it had less than 2,000 miles. They kept it until 7/28/25 when they said it was a "glitch" and updated software. On [XXX] I was again driving on the freeway when the "Pull off road when safe" message di…

Owner report 11705804 · 2025-12-18 (December 18, 2025)
Shortly after purchase, my 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid AWD experienced a sudden and severe electrical burning or melting odor while driving at freeway speed (approximately 75 mph). The odor was extremely strong and clearly coming from my vehicle. At the same time, the vehicle produced a loud, continuous whirring or growling noise and experienced a sudden loss of power, as if under heavy load or braking. I exited the freeway as soon as safely possible. No visible smoke or fire was observed, but the odor raised serious concern for overheating elect…

Owner report 11714167 · 2026-01-29 (January 29, 2026)
Got a warning chime and light that said electric steering fault. Power steering failed completely reverting to manual non power steering making it very hard to steer vehicle. This has happened twice, once at about 1200 miles and again at about 4800 miles. Inspected by dealership at the 1200 mile mark and confirmed that a code was left in the computer for it but no electrical or mechanical fault found. An ignition off-on cycle clears it and returns back to normal electric assisted power steering. Dealer stated a software update was needed but …
