Repair visit 1: Hybrid battery - august 24 2026 sensor fault. [Symptom, e.g. warning light on dash.] Repaired by dealer (Shawnee Mission Ford, Shawnee, KS). Repair visit 2: approx. 8,500 miles: sep 5 2026; Dealer diagnosed two problems at the same time: (1) emergency/parking brake sensor fault and (2) internal transmission problem. The Emergency break wouldn't disengage After driving it for a while. Took it to the dealership, they couldn't replicate the issue. The next day I had the same exact issue when I went to work. After a while, the parking brake did disengage. So I drove to the dealership where it was stuck in their bay for a little bit. There was also other issues that they found.

While driving on a exit road from a shopping center, my vehicle gave me Anti lock Brake Fault, Anti lock Brake System Fault, Hill Start Assist Warning, Service Engine Soon Warning , Electronic Parking Brake error, and Pre-Collision Assist not available. I was lucky it did not happen on a highway, as the Brake system locked up and I was only able to let it slowly move into a parking lot.

On May 27,2026, While flat towing the Maverick in Tow Neutral behind our motorhome, on the freeway, we were flagged down by a good Samaritan who urged us to exit the freeway immediately. My husband exited the freeway and found a safe place to park. I exited the motorhome to find fire emanating from all four wheels. The calipers were orange/red in color, fire was shooting from each wheel. The engine was so hot I suspected it would blow. I retrieved a fire extinguisher from the motorhome and deployed it extinguishing each wheel stopping the fire. An inspection by top level engineers and specialist inspected the vehicle to determine the root cause of the fire to no avail, results Inconclusive
