13800 miles, broken axle/wheel bearing retaining bolt. Screeching noise. Bad wheel bearing. Dealer will not replace wheel bearing because they do not correlate the broken bolt to a bad wheel bearing. Leaving me with a bad wheel bearing that I consider prematurely worn out and is making a clicking sound. Dealer says they cannot replicate the noise so will not investigate further

The bolt that holds the rear axle in place sheared off. This seams to be a common issue on the Max Tow equipped trucks, but Ford hasn't done a recall or even placed a TSB. On top of that my truck is out of service for a back ordered part to fix a safety issue.

The rear right axle bolt sheared off at 12.5k miles. if you google "rear right axle bolt 2021/2022 f150" there are THOUSANDS of people with the same issue. Thank god I heard the sound as it rattled around. I can't imagine the danger of driving down the highway at speed with my children in the back and the tire ends up sliding off. Ford is pretending this does not require a recall, yet tens of thousands of people on the forums have the same issue

Very loud grinding sound coming from the rear axle/ wheel hub area. Then a clunking as if something was loose or rattling around inside the rear hub. Turns out the axle bolt has sheared off.

Vehicle was purchased new 06/08/2021. Since that time it has been back to the dealer 4 times with 3 being for repairs to the problem. There is a crunching / clanging sound every time a turn is made on an incline or decline. The vehicle has been inspected and gone over with body bolts loosened and re-tightened to factory specs to no solution. It was taken back again and now the dealer thinks it is something with the springs. The truck has been with the dealer a total or 27 days as of this date. ( 08-21-2021 ) and repair attempted 3 times. The dealer is not sure if springs are the problem, just chasing possibilities down. I have a loaner which myself and my wife heard the same noise starting. We feel unsafe with this vehicle and Ford seems to be passing the buck although the dealer rep believes it is time for a buy back.
