Ford Maverick 2022–2026

Summary

5 model years in 1 generation, 1,210 owner complaints in total.
No model year stands out as the most complained-about of its generation.
These are complaint counts, not failure rates: they are not divided by how many cars were sold, because no public source reports U.S. sales by model year.
Half of the complaints that give a mileage were filed by 18,000 miles (132 of them give one).
Owners reported 45 crashes, 9 fires, 22 injuries and 2 deaths across these model years.
46 recalls and 3 federal investigations cover these model years; 2 investigations are still open.

2022–2026

Each year is counted over the same span: complaints received up to two calendar years after its model year. A year is compared only when that span is over and it holds at least 50 complaints. Fewer than three years of this generation are comparable, so no year is named.

Model year	All complaints	First three years	Most reported system	Note
2022	618	436	Electrical System
2023	347	298	Powertrain
2024	179	179	Electrical System	not compared
2025	50	50	Electrical System	not compared
2026	16	16	Brakes	not compared

Every model year

A model year gets its own page when four sources cover it, it holds at least 50 complaints, and it either compares with the other years of its generation or shows one system in 40% or more of the complaints that name a component. The rest are listed here with their figures.

Service bulletins

Ford issued 506 service bulletins covering these model years, most often about unknown or other.

A bulletin tells dealers how to fix a known condition. It is not a recall and not a defect finding. Most bulletins cover several model years at once, so a bulletin listed here may not be specific to one year. The number of bulletins tracks how long and how widely a model was sold, so it is not a measure of reliability.

How to read this page

Complaint counts are not failure rates. A model that sells more cars draws more complaints, and owners file more after news coverage or a recall. That is why years are compared only with other years of the same generation, over the same span, and never with other models.
