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.
I know leaking oil from vent tube is a larger problem because Ford has had to have a retro kit made to solve leaking oil. I received no help from Ford for repair cost.

Phil caldwell from the auto service department stated that Ford put out a technical bulletin on the front differential (leak) problem. To prevent future leaks, the cover needed to be replaced. Ford had identified a problem, but failed to recall. It was a design flaw. As a consumer, I had to pay the repairs.
Oil is leaking out of front differential vent tube, also increased vibration felt in steering column along with clunking noises when going over bumps or turning.
