Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“When at a signal light with the brake pushed, we are experiencing an issue where the whole vehicle will unexpectedly lurch forward as if hit from behind after coming to a stop. This could possibly result in the truck hitting the vehicle in front of you if you are in tight traffic. Our local dealer inspected but could not find a solution.”

NHTSA complaint #11637973, filed 2025-01

“My vehicle lurches forward at low speeds which presents a collision risk. The check engine light illuminated and I received the following alert in the FordPass app: The powertrain control system has detected the transmission fluid auxiliary pump motor did not come on when commanded. The vehicle’s Start/Stop feature may not be active when this condition is present.”

NHTSA complaint #11613563, filed 2024-09

“Max Tow Package option. Rear Axle Bolt failure (broken bolt ). Torque to yield bolt design is apparently a defect they are not able to solve. This is common event as seen on forums. Ford bulletin did not list my build date but my right side axle bolt has now snapped. Ford is mishandling this issue, customers are having repeat failures. Ineffective solutions seem to be being offered.”

NHTSA complaint #11540952, filed 2023-08

“I was driving down the road when I noticed a squealing sound coming from the right rear end. Luckily, I made it home to remove the right rear tire and noticed that the axle bolt sheared off inside the axle. I checked a few different forms and this is a common occurrence with the max tow package.”

NHTSA complaint #11524934, filed 2023-06

“Rear axel bolt broke, splines on axel stripped off. Truck lost ability to drive while on the highway , creating a dangerous situation. Now truck is at the dealer waiting on parts keeping me from doing my job and causing further financial hardship. For a known issue Ford should have a recall.”

NHTSA complaint #11549051, filed 2023-10
