This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Complete failure of rear differentials - all internal parts destroyed. Ford dealer that repaired vehicle gave no reason for failure. No external damage. Vehicle used normally - no off-road or heavy trailer use. Contacted Ford vice president, not compensation offered. Paid $3K to repair rear end with no dealer warranty. Reason: Not sure why it went out before. Ford stated that due to failure happening 36 months a 14 days after vehicle manufactured - not covered under powertrain warrantee. Contacted BBB, no assistance. Sold Bronco and will never own another Ford product again due to the way I was treated by the company. The dealer that fixed the unit told me that he "felt" it was due to a defect in materials in the rear end - but could/would not put that in writing.
