Rear axle bolt broke while 1,300 miles from home. Recall has been in place for at least 17 months now and still NO repair available from Ford. THIS IS A HAZARD. While driving when the bolt breaks you will lose power which if you were passing in the left lane on a highway at 70MPH it would result in a catastrophic situation.

I received a letter many months ago from Ford stating that recall 23S65 would be remedied during the first quarter of 2025. Ford is now late in addressing this recall, and should face scrutiny, fines, or some other form of punishment. I continue to wait for information from Ford and for the fix itself. Meanwhile my truck is at risk every time I drive it.

NHTSA Recall Number 23V896 has had two promise dates from Ford that have come and gone. There is currently no updated information on when this will be fixed. There is no acceptable excuse for this. It's not that hard to resolve.

The manufacturer has failed to remedy this safety recall for my F-150 vehicle in a timely manner. Ford initially identified the axle bolt fault as Customer Satisfaction Program 22B34 on Feb. 14, 2023 to a limited range of vehicles but then expanded the action as a recall notification 23S65 on Dec. 22, 2023 covering all 2021-2023 trucks with their "Trailer Tow Max Duty package". Based on these dates, Ford has had over 2 years to engineer a solution to this safety recall but has not done so.

There are several issues with the truck, the worst being misfire issues while driving at highway speeds. Several times now I have been on the interstate at speeds and the truck will all of a sudden lose speed and shutter. The engine light will blink, and this will happen for a couple miles and then it goes back to normal. If you pull the codes on the truck, you get P0300, P0301, and P0305. This is in the dealership again now. The previous two times the dealership has done nothing because they can not duplicate the issue, but they do pull the codes.

This is a 2022 Ford F15. In 2023, at 34000 miles the tranfer case broke down in the middle of the road, waiting at a stop light. The truck needed to be towed. The dealer fixed it under the warranty. In 2024 at 57000 miles, the same transfer case broke down as i was getting out of my driveway. Again it was towed to the dealer. In Feb 2025 i drove out of state and i observed a white smoke behing me. I stoped at a rest area and discover the the undercarriage is full of oil and the transmission got overheated. When I got back home i saw a lot of oil spots from the trans on my driveway. Now the car is at the dealer again. The worst part is even if I had an appointment 2 weeks later from the date i called, representative told me it will take another 2 weeks to fix the trans! Every time the truck was at the dealer it took 2 weeks to get fixed and every time they told me theyy don-??t have a loaner. That is my work truck and i can-??t miss 2 weeks of work! I asked the representative what is going on with a car that is still under warranty and the transfer case broke twice in 2 years. The answer was that Ford knows about this problem but they do not have a solution to fix it properly. I asked him what I-??m suppose to do after the warranty runs out? Same guy told me that Ford will issue a recall and as long as there is a recall they will fix it with no extra charge but there is no recall on transfer cases from Ford! For a truck that I paid $90000 that is not acceptable. Please let me know my options. Thank you.

Transmission issue starting at 60,000 miles with minor miss-shifts and hard shifting brought the truck in at 71,000 miles to get looked at after seizing had occurred. Initial incident occurred about two months before I brought the truck in where I put the truck in reverse and it would lock up the transmission, it would do one revolution and stop. We put the truck in drive. It would unload the whole drive train and get stuck. One revolution going forward, proceeded to put the truck in park it would decompress the drivetrain this would happen 3 to 4 times before the transmission would release and allow you to drive normally took the truck into the shop. They opened up the transmission and found that the CFD drum had ruptured causing the transmission to intermittently lock
