2022 Ford F-150 Hybrid transmission complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 79, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Axle bolt was shredded off and making a clanking sound while driving. They replaced the axle. Should have gone ahead and replaced both sides because the other axle bolt will also break soon and is a huge liability.
My 2022 Ford F150 Powerboost Hybrid has the Max Tow Axle option. A known defect is that the LH and RH Axle bolts break early in the life of the vehicle. The failure is a tensile failure in the bolt causing the head to essentially pop off, rendering the vehicle unsafe to drive. I have had (1) of these failures so far. I expect more failures to come and do not accept that Ford has fixed this issue with the Max Tow option utilizing the 3/4 float axle design that they have had since 2021. For 2024 Ford is now disallowing the Max Tow option with the Hybrid Powerboost model, leading me to believe there is an incompatablity between the Hybrid drive system in the Powerboost model and the Max Tow axle design. Possibly certain dynamic forces are inherent in the combination to cause this failure. It is speculated it could be the regenerative braking that is part of the Hybrid system. Other scenarios are possible as well. Aside from the ridiculously small 12 mm single bolt in this design, I believe this change with the 2024 model year is indicative that they have presented an inadequate fix for us current 2021-2023 model year owners since they have discontinued this combination. Ford is repairing under CSP [XXX]. I request the federal safety agency investigate this issue thoroughly and force Ford to recall all Powerboost Hybrid F150 trucks with this design and present a proper / robust solution that will not fail when out of warranty which is very likely to occur in my opinion. Ford's actions are inadequate regarding this issue in my opinion. Thank you. [XXX] Greensboro, NC [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
While in 4A, at a stop the vehicle lurched forward. This repeated 5 times having come to a stop with brake pedal depressed or not (autohold). Check engine light came on at some point for auxiliary transmission pump motor did not come on. Started after having truck serviced and pcm reprogrammed. Back at dealership claims issue due to HEV battery dropping below 285V and going in to fail safe due to usage in stop and go traffic. Truck was not in stop and go traffic during drive in which incidents occurred.
When sitting at a stop light/stop sign/a complete stop, the truck will switch to electric mode... after about five to seven seconds, the truck "jumps" -- if feels like you just got rear ended. Truck currently at the dealership with no known ETA on repair.
1) The rear axle bolt failed on my Max Tow equipped truck, the bolt head and washer broke off and were rattling around in the wheel. 2) The rear axle bolt secures the axle to the knuckle/hub and transmit power from the differential to the wheels. Without this bolt the axle could fall away from the hub and the vehicle would loose the ability to drive. 3) Yes the problem has been reproduced, Ford has CSP 22B34 for this same issue. That CSP is incomplete, it does not cover all of the date ranges that this issue can happen on. 4) No, there were no warning lights or messages while the issue was present.
Power train is pathetic, Ford has a software fix, that isn’t the issue. the federal safety agency [XXX], and force a recall if you research you will see across all platforms the 10R80 is failing, clutch blowing, Ford has known for years you morons. Power train isn’t safe, fuel economy has tanked on this truck INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I had warranty work done on a trailer brake module on October 23, 2023. About 3 weeks after that it seemed like my transmission was a little rough. Then Nov. 6, I had several incidences where I was at a stop, and it felt like someone hit me from behind and lurch my truck forward a little bit. It seems very dangerous. In case someone in a crosswalk is walking in front of me I could possibly hit them up. My Ford diagnostic tells me that it is the electric transmission fluid pump. There was no warning no lights lit up on my dashboard warning me that this would happened. After I started the motor the next morning, the check engine light came on. The next day I drove it for a short time around the block and the check engine light was not on. I drove it straight to the dealership and made an appointment to take it in. I have read several articles and forums complaining about the exact same thing recently. It seems as if there should be a recall on this issue. Another issue since I’ve had the truck brand new in July 2023 is it always skipped second gear which kind of makes it a little rough starting off.
This 2022 Ford f150 has experienced the exact failure shown in ford CSP 22B34. The right rear axle securing bolt has sheared. The CSP applies to trucks built through Sept. 30 2021. This truck was built in Dearborn, in November - BUT has had the exact failure. I am concerned Ford has under estimated the number of affected vehicles for this safety issue. This is concerning. Ford rep said it is OK to drive, even though it has failed and was not listed in the range. it could be a larger issue than the CSP.
Right rear main axle bolt sheared and separated from the axle. I am concerned the wheel and hub could separate. Customer Satisfaction Program 22B34 may apply, but the dealer is not certain but is looking into it. filing this report as this seems like a serious flaw.
I was driving south on Interstate 5 near Stockton CA and I noticed an awful sound coming from the back of my truck. When I gave it more throttle nothing was happening, my truck was slowing down, the more throttle I gave it the louder the grinding noise got. My truck was slowing down to a crawl, and I had to pull off the freeway, the shoulder was only big enough for my truck to fit, I could not open the driver's door because the on-coming traffic would hit my driver's door, I needed to use my passenger door to exit my truck. If was very dangerous because on-coming traffic was doing 65MPG, I had to call tow truck to come and tow my truck away to the Ford dealership. The Ford service dealership inspected my truck and found that the real axle bolt had sheared off and allowed the rear axle to disengage from the differential causing the truck not to move or have control. Ford Motor Company knows this is a safety issue, I have attached a document, Customer Satisfaction Program [XXX] that proves Ford has had this issue in the past couple of years and seems to think it's still not an issue, Ford will only warranty the repair for the one side that failed. In the document I have attached it clearly states that both axles and both bolts need to be replaced. Ford told me that my vin # is not included in the customer satisfaction program so they will not replace the other axel and bolt. This is a major safety issue for me and the public allowing my vehicle to be on the road the way it is at this point in time. The other bolt could shear off and cause my vehicle to run off the road or cause an accident because of not have control of my vehicle.

Auxiliary transmission pump failure code - P0C2A. Accompanied by a very hard slam and lurch forward after a complete stop. Lurch and slam coward is very abrupt and when it first happened I believed it was a rear end collision.
An axle bolt on the drivers side rear axle has sheared off rendering the truck unsafe to drive.
Passenger side rear axle bolt, that holds the axle shaft in place, sheared off, which could allow the axle shaft to move inside the axle housing. I'm learning that this is EXTREMELY common on 2021-2023 9.75" 3:73 MAX TOW axle.
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.
Axle bolt holding the rear wheel assembly onto the axle have broken and the bolt head was rattling around loose inside the wheel.
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.
Axle bolt connecting the rear passenger side wheel to the axle completely sheared off. Wheel starting making a terrible sound while driving and upon inspection found the sheared axle bolt.
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.
Axel bolt sheared off of passenger rear axel.
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford F150. The contact stated that she took her vehicle to the dealer to be serviced and the dealer informed the contact that the passenger’s side rear axle bolt had detached. The contact related the failure to the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 23V128000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to file a complaint with the federal safety agency Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 16,500.
Rear axle retaining bolt failure
Right rear axle bolt sheared. See https://www.f150forum.com/f129/2021-powerboost-rear-rotor-axle-bolt-sheared-515460
Rear axle bolt sheering off leaving the truck undrivable. Ford states the parts are on back order. Dealership does not have any loaners so I’m without a car for an unknown length of time.
The axle retaining bolts are breaking. Ford is using the same parts to repair, but keeps happening. Being told unsafe to drive while parts are on order.
