Buying note. Verify that the open recalls for this year were actually completed, particularly the rear axle bolt and low-pressure fuel pump campaigns, since owners frequently report parts were unavailable. Also check for rear axle noise or leaks, transmission shudder on a highway test drive, and water intrusion in the cabin.
Summary written with AI from a sample of 60 NHTSA complaints for this model year (picked at random, with complaints that state a mileage and recent ones taken first), then checked automatically against the source records. Where a problem shows a complaint count, every complaint for this model year was matched with fixed keyword rules (written with AI and tested against the sample), and the mileage, age and repair figures are calculated from those complaints; owners' figures are as stated, not verified. Other counts refer to the sample.

Example complaints
Transmission and drivetrain: “I received a letter many months ago from Ford stating that recall 23S65 would be remedied during the first quarter of 2025.
