My Wife went out to the truck 2025 Ford Maverick XLT FX4 OFF ROAD PACKAGE TOWING PACKAGE LUXURY PACKAGE to back out of our drive way as She ALWAYS Does and instead of reverse she ended up in the garage door. it went forward I have a picture to show it was in reverse tried to engage emergency brake tried to put it in park and nothing worked until she was in the door and crashed. NO COLLISION ALARMS OR PREVENTIVE COLLISION HELP THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE ON THESE TRUCKS. thank god no one was SERIOUSLY HURT that we know of BUT IT LITERALLY MESSED WITH MY PTSD AND MENTAL HEALTH. she sat in the vehicle and cried because its brand New and there is less than 400 miles on it. so know I have to pay for a GARAGE door that I don't own and fix a brand new truck. that I have only made 3 payments on. I don't have pictures of front yet because I'm afraid to move it until the tow truck comes to get it in the morning. then I will get to see the truck damage

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 2025 Ford Maverick Later Release verdict →
