In owners' own words
CV axles failed around 42,000 miles. Purchased new tires due to one being worn. After new tires the front end was shaking on acceleration onto the highway. Vibration stopped once the vehicle got up to speed. The tires were rebalanced but that didn't help. The mechanic found the problem to be the CV axles. Once both were replaced the vibration finally stopped. Power train
While traveling on an interstate highway at night, my gas 2024 Ford Maverick Lariat unexpectedly shifted into neutral. I was not sure what was happening as the truck began to slow even while I was accelerating, I then realized it was in neutral. While still traveling at approximately 40 mph I shifted back into drive and everything was ok. Power train
Upon acceleration, the front end vibrates heavily. light pedal depression it isn't quite as noticeable. But medium pressure to gas peddle & it feels like the whole underneath of the engine/ maybe front axle is about to fall apart. the harder the acceleration, the more intense the shaking/vibrating is.
