This is a hybrid vehicle and offers remote features to be able to lock/unlock and start the vehicle through an app. However there is apparently a "known issue" (dealer service department confirmed) with no known fix and an approximate resolution date of mid 2025. the issue is that the 12V battery (not hybrid) drains on its own and begins to fail when the vehicle is not running. They aren't sure of the cause but it could be related to the remote features and causes the battery to be always on or running. We wake up to error messages several times a week on our app that the remote features are unavailable, that the battery is drained, and that we may need to jumpstart the battery and drive it a long time. This has been a safety issue because we have been unable to access the car via app or key remote, needing the physical key, and on occasion have needed to jumpstart the vehicle. …
Since October 2024, at approximately 6,000 miles, began receiving this warning message in the ford pass app: "Remote features disabled to preserve battery Your 2024 Maverick equipped with FordPass(TM) Connect has entered Deep Sleep mode to conserve battery energy. Remote features including start/stop and lock/unlock may be temporarily unavailable because your battery charge level is low. You can easily fix this yourself by going for a longer ride. Make sure to keep your air conditioning and accessories off during this drive to recharge your battery faster. If your vehicle doesn't start: - Jump start it then take it for a drive to recharge the battery - Contact your preferred dealer for further service if needed" In November the interior lights stopped working when the car door would be open with or without the truck on. No open door would register the lights to come on. …
I have a 2024 Ford Maverick Lariat Hybrid with only 1880 miles on it and every 3 days the battery drains from 99% down to 39%. I keep getting the Deep Sleep messages and the dealer refuses to replace the battery. I even got a message saying to drive the vehicle on a day when the vehicle was at the dealer and had been started and driven 6xs that day. Ford released a communications to Service depts but not a fix. Their solution is for the consumer to take their truck to the dealer every 3 days instead of replacing a bad battery. I took truck to dealer 12/31/24, 1/2/25, 1/6/25, and called 1/9/25. First time tech said battery test at 99% then on [redacted] when it was at 39% and he saw the "Drive the vehicle" messages, he started to believe me. …
Truck is draining its battery after sitting in a downtime period. (6-12 hours) leaving me stranded. This has happened more than 20 times since 12/26/2024. I DO HAVE INFORMATION TO SUBMIT FOR SHOP (VISITS), HOWEVER AT THE TIME I AM FILLING THIS OUT I HAVE NO WAY TO ENTER THAT INFORMATION HERE. THE SHOP HAS HAD THE VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES AT THE LONGEST 20days STRAIGHT, UNKNOWN HOW MANY DAYS TOTAL. Most of the shop visits concluded with either battery charges OR battery changes. I have been told by Ford Dealership Maintenance Shop many times they have no idea what is going on with the vehicle. I have digital proof from the Ford app when this happens. My concern is that I have noticed that Ford is removing Digital information off of the app that supports my case. ALSO, They have started to "lose my paper work" when I go to pick up my vehicle from their shop. …
My 24 Ford Maverick Hybrid goes into deep sleep so it will not start after sitting for a few days,i have to run a battery tender or battery goes below a certain voltage number and it then goes into deep sleep.Been to dealer twice for same problem they charge the battery and they say it past's Ford's test but you don't drive a few days and goes back into sleep mode unable to start or drive vehicle. I do not drive vehicle everyday but you can not rely on it to work if sitting for a few days to a week.My sales person said Ford is suppose to have a fix first quarter of 2025 but not sure this will happen i hope like hell it does.Been trying to get Ford to replace the battery under warranty so far no luck,but they still need to fix the charging system or get a fix to maintain battery s it does not go dead and leave owner's stranded.
4 months after purchase my battery slowly went dead until I had to jump it. Taken in to Dealer 3 times before the first battery was replaced. They installed a higher CCA battery and after 2 months there are signs it is slowly being drained. In November when I first brought this in, I was told there is an SSM 53087, stating there is parasitic voltage draw when the truck is off. The fix for 2022 thru 2024 Mavericks will be coming the 1st quarter of 2025. Here we are and no fix. My dealership said don't worry about it your under warranty and there is no solution yet. But as long as you are under warranty we will replace your battery. I called Ford customer service today and there is still no fix. What happens if battery goes dead while I'm driving, it's a hybrid.
12 volt battery not keeping a charge. Twice vehicle had to be jumped recently. The App reports Battery Saver mode 95% when parked. Dome lights don't work 80% of the time. Remote key fob won't open doors 10% of the time. Have to use key to unlock vehicle Taken to the dealer on 11/1. It stated, "Engineering is currently working on a fix for an intermittent battery draw. Disconnected and tested per SSM 53087. Battery passed. No repairs at this time". The problem has become worse as if battery won't hold a charge. Had to jump vehicle recently. Approximately 1 minutes after turning off the ignition, radio and driver display both say, System shutting down to save battery. I have scheduled a second appointment for 1/31 to see if battery is failing.
