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.
The wheel wells on the front of my vehicle do not properly fit the well. One has been replaced twice the other once and recently the dealer made the decision to cut the wheel wells so they would no longer rub. I was told it was the best they could do. The other choice is to keep replacing them when they fail. I am concerned that somthing from the road may fly up in their and get lodged in the exposed under section. I feel there should be another alternative but Ford doesn't want to pay to get a resolution. If those well covers were not needed they wouldn't have them n their in the 1st place. So I know they are needed.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and turning, there was an abnormal sound coming from the front end. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the integrated wheel end needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.
We have been stranded twice for the recall issued in late January 2024, for the rear axle. The truck is currently at the 5th dealership since January2024. The truck is not driveable and Ford still does not have a way to fix the issue. We are having the axle replaced for the second time by a Ford dealership, with no assurance that they have determined how to solve the problem. We picked the truck up from the last axle repair on 2-21-24. We had a rear wheel sensor issue on 3-6-24, after driving less than 1000 miles. On 3-28-24, the axle defect occurred again. The truck was towed again. The Ford website says they do not yet have a solution, yet their certified mechanics continue to -??fix-?? the issue.
Broken bolt in passenger side rear axel. While pulling off the tire the bolt fell to the ground. It is evident it had been broken for quite some time. I think it prevents lateral movement of the axel.
Right side Rear axle Bolt sheared off. Dealers do not want to fix or cant fix the problem even thought there is a Customer Satisfaction Bulletin that Ford has put out to fix the vehicle. CSP 22B34 Bolt shear has been confirmed by 2 dealers and was told they could not do anything about it until there was a Recall. This has been happening to Hundreds to thousands of F150's. No warnings that it had sheared off. I had my tires Rotated and the mechanics found the bolt rolling around the wheel drum which could cause other problems if not fixed. It looks like the only thing holding the axle in is the brake calipers and if they fail, wheel and or axle could separate from the vehicle which could cause other drivers or pedestrians to be injured. Please help and have Ford make this a recall before somebody is injured or worse.
Axle bolt connecting the rear passenger side wheel to the axle completely sheared off. Wheel starting making a terrible sound while driving and upon inspection found the sheared axle bolt.
The axle bolt has broken twice. The first time I was advised the factory torqued it too tight. The entire axle was replaced. The second time both hub assemblies were replaced. I was told there was a recall but no one could advise me why it was happening or any specifics on the recall. Both time the bolt was found to be broken when I had the tires rotated, there was no odd sounds or odd driving movement to indicate something was wrong. I took the truck into have the bolt inspected after about 1,000 miles to make certain it was ok. The bolt was intact but I was told that the Ford had issued a recall for trucks from a made at a certain factory for using "bad bolts." No one could tell me which factory, if my truck was from that factory and how bad bolts were used for a second time after it was fixed initially. I have not received a recall notice from Ford reference bad bolts or axle issues.
I removed my wheels for standard rotation. When I removed the wheel from the passenger side rear, I found the rear axle bolt was fractured. The portion of the bolt and washer were inside the wheel. This appeared to have been chronic. Pictures available. I did not attempt to remove this bolt. This spontaneously sheared off. It was literally sitting inside the wheel hub.
