2022 Ford F-150 Hybrid

Rear axle retaining bolt sheered off. Issue was discovered during routine tire rotation at dealership 9/29/23. I will not have parts available as dealership keeps old parts. There were no warning indications of this issue. This is a known issue listed as Ford CSP 22B34 which instructs dealers to replace parts on both sides of the vehicle. Dealer indicates my VIN is not included in that CSP. Because I'm not in CSP the dealer is replacing affected side under warranty, but won't touch the other side. A failed bolt will cause major failure of the axle assembly during a turn potentially causing loss of control of the vehicle. Ford knows both sides need to be replaced, but I have no recourse but to wait for a second failure. Please help.

I have a hybrid powertrain. When the vehicle is in normal mode (hybrid mode - engine off) and I am at a stop after about 3-5 seconds sometimes the vehicle will feel like it is going to move forward even though I have my foot on the brake. When this happens the vehicle will jerk or feel like it was hit from behind. The event is very jarring and scary as you think the vehicle is going to move forward even though you have your foot on the brake.

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.

When getting on the road from a cold start coming out of a parking lot the vehicle will not accelerate. You mash the pedal down and it just sits there barely moving for 1 or 2 seconds and then all of a sudden it takes off. I have had the truck which I bought new for 3 months and it has happened 3 times randomly over those 3 months. Twice in very busy traffic which nearly caused an accident. If you can imagine pulling out in front of someone expecting to merge into traffic and then your vehicle just sets there barely moving. I have not taken the vehicle to a dealer yet but plan too. There are not other symptoms and no warning lights.

Vehicle has major shifting issues with the 10 speed transmission. Shifting down or up can cause violent shifts. Extremely scary on the highway when passing semi trucks as it slams into gear. Vehicle will then show vehicle needs maintenance with a Powertrain issue. When turning the vehicle off it goes away but will return when driving above 55mph. Then the service light may or may not come back on. Dealer told me that the vehicle needs to learn driving behavior and will go away. I dropped vehicle off today and told them it was unsafe to drive on highways as it could cause a crash.

On multiple occasions, the vehicle has exhibited, what I would call, a loss of acceleration. I first noticed this during a right-hand turn from a stop. I took my foot off the brake, initiated the turn and applied the throttle, and the vehicle took 1-2 seconds before it started to accelerate. The vehicle was in "Normal" drive mode. Currently, this issue is occurring during right and left-hand turns, and straight-line acceleration. For example, I was approaching a red light, so I lifted off the accelerator and started to coast. Before I applied the brake, the light turned green, so I went back to the accelerator, but the vehicle did not increase speed for 1-2 seconds. It suddenly lunged forward, and I had to lift off the accelerator so I could decrease my speed. There are occasions when you need to be quick, like merging onto a freeway, and this lack of responsiveness could lead to an accident. The vehicle has been to the dealer for known transmission issues and the dealer performed a reset on the adaptive tables. The issue I am writing about occurred before and after the adaptive table reset. No warning lamps or messages were displayed during the issue.
