SENCE PURCHACED the truck has a tie rod rattle, I have spoken to dealership and was informed no issue found. But as of late Vehicle wobbles very harshly when execrating or pulling away from stop signs passing another vehicle. Turns out it's a VERY common CV axle issue that the dealership doesn't have any sort of recall on. Feels very very unsafe to drive and its disappointing to see so many other drivers with the exact same issue with the tie rod ends. Now a recall on some of the mavericks suspension AKA tie rod installed wrong/ defective with a DO NOT DRIVE WARNING?

I was flat towing the vehicle behind a motorcoach. I pulled off the interstate and made a gradual left turn. The maverick started to violently wobble. Pulled off to the side of road and could not tell if anything was wrong. Spent the night at a campground. Next morning I had a steering assist warning come up.

On 3 separate occasions, the following problem occurred. When towing in back of Motorhome (in neutral tow mode) while making a left turn from a full stop the towed vehicle (Ford Maverick) began to shake violently. The wheels turned opposite direction causing shaking so violently that I felt the motorhome being pulled left and right like a violent wobble. I quickly slowed to a stop and then proceeded slowly forward, and the wheels straightened out and everything was OK again.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2024 Ford Maverick Hev Later Release verdict →
