For the most part the vibes are pretty positive when it comes to Maverick ownership on here. So for those who've owned their Mavericks for a while now and are enjoying it, what, if any, is your stand-out complaint about your truck? What one little or big would you change if you could?

I have had several strange things happen with my radio and vid screen 5-6 times the volume has simply not been responsive. At other times the reverse camera has failed to come on other times the phone hookup goes in and out volume wise All incidents clear up if you turn off the system -or the vehicle -like unplugging your desk top or turning off/on your mobile phone Not ideal. Not the end of the world . Not what I paid for.

The screen locks up while streaming music from the cell phone, turn off the phone and it goes back to "Normal" haven't had problems with dead battery since I took Ford Pass off phone, though the third brake light on the ARE Cap will stay on indefinitely after being in the rain for a day. Quirky little truck for sure, haven't had one with this many bells and whistles.

The sleep mode thing would freak me out. Going on vacay soon and will remotely start every day for battery sake. Generally used every day so havnt had problems yet. Love the lil truck but truly believe that they passed the point of diminishing returns on vehicles about 15 years ago now just more and more “stuff” that can fail. Next vehicle may be an old ford Vic with minimal accoutrements !!

I worked out over 90% of the interior rattling myself it's fairly quiet now, but now I hear all the rattling from underneath the car and suspension, I know the suspension wasn't going to be that quiet but I didn't expect it to sound like it is falling apart, besides the normal suspension noise there is something banging only in the morning the it goes away after a couple of miles driven.

I know the Maverick only costs half what a F 150 or Ranger costs, but they really need to improve the quality of the interior. A Civic is cheaper than an Accord, but the quality is the same. That is a lesson Ford needs to learn. I had a 2022 Maverick, and the dash made a sound like a ping pong ball was rolling around inside of it. It drove me nuts, and I traded it in after a year on a new Santa Cruz. The SC feels so much more solid, the interior is rattle free, and it just feels and rides and the 4wd performs so much more like a truck than the Maverick did.

I have a 2024 Mav Lariat Hybrid, just bought in June. Its failed on me twice, "Accessory mode locked"..Stop when safe. (I was already stopped!). I love the Mav, but will give it up if it continues to be unreliable. Its in the shop now, and has been most of its first two week life. The dealer says they are replacing the hybrid battery. Ford Corporate asked me if I wanted Ford to buy it back. I told them I will wait and see, but am leaning to sell it back to ford.

Had recalls done at Ford dealership only to have truck lose power after having recall done for that very problem. Now they tell me I need a new engine,long block, replacement,but will take a month to get to dealership. They are supplying a rental,a Chevy, but this problem has been known since 22s first came out.
