My windshield appears to be rattling against the dash which I’ve read for others causes windshield to crack. Afraid this will happen to me. Appears many mavericks have this issue.

I experienced violent vibration of the front end of this vehicle that started 4 months after purchased from factory delivery to dealership. Tires in front went bald at 5000 miles and over the next 3 months vibration in front end worsened, causing excess wear on the second set of tires. Ford Motor Company was unable to get the defective axles replaced due to poor supply and lack of properly diagnosing the issue initially. I belong to a Ford Maverick Club and this issue is widespread with the 2022 and 2023 models with some dealerships telling customers that there is no danger in driving with the defective CV Joints in the front end and others being instructed not to drive until they can be replaced. Neither of the two dealerships that inspected my car were aware of this widespread issue with the front end CV joint defect. I waited 2 months for the axles to arrive at the dealership and needed to replace all four tires when the new axles were installed. My vehicle was only 11 months old with less than 15,000 miles.
