This me. Thanks for posting Frankie. The dealer called me saying it needs a whole new FDU and a front drive shaft. My wife drove it up to the dealer Monday, which is about 4 miles away and no speed limits that exceed 35mph. she said it was making a wearing noise like a bearing failing. and that it binded up a couple times and it was obviously in 2wd. Dealer said it will hopefully finished middle of next week.
You mean the one where you're being chased by a bloody knife wielding clown whose running on the walls and ceiling of a broken down house of mirrors while Bessie Smith's "Baby Won't You Please Come Home" plays too slow and there's a whole pet cemetery in the corner of the living room painted with the most yellow paint that--
I also have a 2022 2 door Badlands that was leaking fluid on the front driver’s side and had my whole axle replaced under warranty. 34,000 miles.
Mine sounded almost like a rock in the tire but with a slightly softer sound that you could only hear from inside the vehicle with the radio off. Put the window down and try and hear it and you couldn't. Mechanic even had a hard time identifying where it was coming from. Actually drove with that noise for 2000 miles thinking it was a tire noise. Got new tires and realized it wasn't.
Those pictures are safe. Enough water has flowed under the bridge that it no longer is a secret. She shouldn't have gotten those as they were photos taken by the tech to send to Ford. But that tech also is her personal mechanic for mundane service when he's off the clock. At the time, Ford wanted to keep it quiet.someone on here once said save posts....just in case the info gets deleted
sounds like the diff issue I have. Better take it in soon. Especially still under warranty.
Major safety issue you should report to NHTSA thats completely ridiculous.Here’s few more pics from mine showing the crack in the casting! It was def an interesting day to say the least. I was traveling about 70 when I skid to a stop.
Had to be towed to the dealer. They had it about two weeks. It had 10k miles. I did end up with whole new front axle, then they went ahead replaced the drive shaft!
I still to this day think some diffs are being under filled with fluid when assembled.
Say why Ford wanted it hush hush. At the time it happened. Think I was one of the first few people that I even knew it happened too, then few more trickled in. One guy happened to was on the interstate. Mine was in 2022! I would have thought by now it be an issue of the past!
Mine gave no warning. The front tires just locked up outta no where.
This defect under the rug sweeeping is exactly why Ford was fined a zabillion dollars and remains under third party defects audit oversight causing recalls and TSBs to attain the highest innthe world next to Tesla.
