NHTSA #26V104: I purchased this vehicle to rent it out on Turo (a vehicle sharing platform). It was de-listed from Turo on March 18 due to NHTSA #26V104 recall being unresolved. I have been unable to rent my vehicle since then and Ford has not provided a remedy to this recall.
I have a 2022 Ford Maverick XL Hybrid and the system that failed is the rear lighting system, specifically the tail lamps, brake lamps, and rear turn signals. This appears to be related to the Body Control Module (BCM) software, which was the subject of Ford Recall 24S27 affecting many 2022–2024 Ford Mavericks.
The rear brakes and rotors have prematurely worn out at only 28k miles, while the front brakes are like new. There is no way for me or any local repair shop to put it into brake service mode. The official Ford procedure does not work.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford Maverick. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The contact stated that the message “Engine Power Reduced” was displayed.
Multiple instances of Auto Hold function sucking brake to floor and haulting vehicle at low speeds causing danger of a rear collision. Recommend adding a 1 second delay to current system before engaging auto hold function
