While driving on a exit road from a shopping center, my vehicle gave me Anti lock Brake Fault, Anti lock Brake System Fault, Hill Start Assist Warning, Service Engine Soon Warning , Electronic Parking Brake error, and Pre-Collision Assist not available.

Customer Concern – Highway-Speed Vibration There is a noticeable, consistent vibration that begins at approximately 50 MPH and above and becomes most prevalent around 60 MPH. The vibration is present while maintaining a steady speed and does not appear to be related to acceleration or throttle input. The truck continues to track straight and does not noticeably pull to either side. There is also a slight rhythmic “doot-doot-doot” type noise noticeable at highway speeds when the radio is off. The rhythm appears to remain fairly constant rather than speeding up or slowing down.

On May 27,2026, While flat towing the Maverick in Tow Neutral behind our motorhome, on the freeway, we were flagged down by a good Samaritan who urged us to exit the freeway immediately. My husband exited the freeway and found a safe place to park. I exited the motorhome to find fire emanating from all four wheels. The calipers were orange/red in color, fire was shooting from each wheel. The engine was so hot I suspected it would blow. I retrieved a fire extinguisher from the motorhome and deployed it extinguishing each wheel stopping the fire. An inspection by top level engineers and specialist inspected the vehicle to determine the root cause of the fire to no avail, results Inconclusive.
