   While driving at highway speed on I-275with cruise control engaged on afternoon of June 11 the truck suddenly began slowing down. I couldn't get it to accelerate. I ultimately had to get over two lanes and still had enough momentum to get off an exit ramp. At the end of the ramp, I noticed I was unable to get the truck to accelerate from a stopped position either. Only then did I notice the dial transmission had moved to N from D. I did not initiate this move while I was on…

   On the Maverick hybrids there has been a battery issue since they first came out in Dec. '21. I first had a 2022 hybrid and would get the message "vehicle is in battery saver mode" frequently. When this would happen I would have no interior lights when I opened the doors and could not start the vehicle or check any information, tire pressure, fuel, etc through my phone app. So charge battery and drive and the message goes away. The dealer did replace the battery once since…

   Repeated failures of accessory battery resulting in powertrain failures. One incident disabled the response of the accelerator. Acceleration was only achieved by releasing the brake pedal and the vehicle slowly accelerated up to approx 35 mph. Battery has been replaced/repaired by dealer 4 times already, with a 5th pending shortly. Accessing the battery to jump start the vehicle requires lifting the back seat, including detaching car seat installed in the rear of the vehicle.
