In owners' own words

The CV Axle failed on the driver side around 26k miles. There are several other reports of this happening. They would only replace the one side under warrently. The other one is already going bad, but they won't replace yet. Just google "maverick cv alxe". You need tk recall all cv alxes on these trucks before something happens. Power train

Cv axles went out at 55k causing shaking at highway speeds while accelerating. Frequently when starting the car the steering wont activate right away even after the car begins to move for 5-10 feet. Dealer cant replicate because it doesnt happen every time. But it is still doing it and may cause a crash in the future.... Power train

Upon accelerating from about 40 to 50 mph violent shaking was occurring , took to dealership CV axels were found to be the problem and were replaced at 17,000 miles now at 29,000 miles they are doing the same thing and need to be replaced again took to dealership waiting on new CV axels to be replaced again Power train
