Abnormal wear to the brake pads, has always been a slight noise in the wheel from brand new. Now at 10,500 miles being told the brake pads and rotors are shot. I consider this to be extremely abnormal for a well cared for vehicle with very low mileage.
This Maverick truck has developed a Strong shake upon acceleration. Noticeable lower speeds at acceleration or load. Front passenger side. The tires have been rebalanced, rotated, and even purchased new after irregular front passenger tire wear. 50K Continental tires worn out at 24K. No bent rims, no warped tires. No suspension tie rod play or flex with vehicle suspended. No motor mount play. The axles' dust shields are in-tack, but the wobble is from the passenger side axle. Under warranty but premature wear at 25,000 miles. Feel vibration with wheels spinning and place a stick of lumber as resistance. feel vibration.
Twice in the last two months the vehicle completely lost the ability to accelerate while driving. While the vehicle was in motion, the accelerator lost all tension and you could put your foot the floor without the vehicle moving. The vehicle still had all other power, including power steering, stereo, lights and power breaks. The first incident occurred last month at low speed in a residential area. The vehicle was able to coast to the sidewalk in front of house. A few minutes later the vehicle started up without issue and was able to be driven home. Afterwards, the vehicle was taken to a local repair show who checked the battery and alternator, but they did not find any issue. Earlier
