Brake wear on other Maverick Hybrid years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2024.
What this problem usually is
Brake reports cover a wide spread of symptoms. Grinding or squealing is common, and so is a pulsing pedal or a shake through the car when stopping. Others describe pads and rotors worn out long before they expected, a brake warning light, or a pedal that goes soft or sinks toward the floor. The most serious ones say the car didn't stop in time.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the ABS module (6 reports).

What owners wrote
“Sometimes when coming to a full stop and when moving slow and braking in parking lots the brakes seem to not fully engage and then at the last second they grab hard to stop the truck. I can see this as being potentially hazardous ,especially in a parking lot or when conditions are slippery.”

“At low speeds the brakes would jerk violently. Pressure on the brakes would change making seem like the car will not stop at times.”

“I just wanted to share that my Maverick intermittently makes a hard clunking stop during low speed stop and go conditions. It also takes more brake pressure to stop as the truck feels like itâs trying to lunge forward. This occasional happens when parking the truck as well.”
Filed Jul 18, 2022
“Brakes seem to be reluctant to react to pressure on brake pedal at low speeds, like slowly rolling forward, and eventually a higher pressure is needed and an abrupt stop occurs. Also on a slippery road some abrupt stopping occured in a similar manner.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 3 of 98 reports involved a crash and 1 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
