2022 Ford F-150 Hybrid wheels problems

Filed Oct 10, 2026 · Steering, Transmission · FL

I am reporting a concern about the engine-coolant condition in my 2022 Ford F-150 hybrid. During a September 1, 2026 inspection at Ford of Clermont, dealership personnel reportedly showed or described the coolant as black-brown or discolored and recommended coolant replacement. I recall the coolant appearing abnormal, but I have not received a written coolant test, laboratory analysis, technician diagnosis, or explanation establishing why it looked that way. I purchased the truck on July 18, 2026, with 39,647 miles. I did not modify the cooling system, engine, transmission, hybrid system, or related components after purchase. I have requested the September inspection findings, coolant test results, the recommended service and estimate, and records concerning the reported July 3 oil change and 176-point inspection. I have not received a complete written explanation reconciling the reported July service with the later coolant observation. I am concerned that the coolant’s reported appearance could indicate a cooling-system or powertrain problem requiring diagnosis. I do not know the cause. I have not established that coolant and transmission fluids mixed, that a heat exchanger failed, or that the coolant condition caused transmission damage. Separately, two independent repair shops identified transmission concerns. The September 18, 2026 Ricky G’s Transmission Repair document reports transmission chattering in reverse and gives an estimated repair total. Universal Tire and Auto’s September 11 record documents a transmission diagnostic and lists transmission removal and replacement as declined, not performed. Those records do not state that the coolant caused the transmission condition or that either condition caused the wet-road skidding incidents. I report these findings as separate powertrain concerns and ask the federal safety agency to consider whether a coordinated inspection is warranted. I also reported two wet-road skidding incidents to Ford of Clermont. I do not know whether

I am reporting a concern about the truck’s apparent fuel consumption and hybrid-system operation. I purchased the used 2022 Ford F-150 on [XXX], with 39,647 miles. The truck is identified in the independent repair-facility records as a 3.5-liter full hybrid electric-gas vehicle. I did not modify the engine, hybrid system, transmission, fuel system, tires, lift, wheels, suspension, or other relevant vehicle components after purchase. During my ownership, I perceived that the truck used substantially more fuel than expected. I reported to Ford of Clermont service adviser Alberto Caro that the electric-drive system appeared to engage constantly and that a 36-gallon fuel tank appeared to be used for a round trip to and from Ocala. I compared this experience with my prior Chevrolet, which I reported used approximately one-quarter of a tank for a similar trip. I understand that a comparison with a different vehicle does not, by itself, establish a defect, and that hybrid operation may involve frequent electric-motor engagement. My concern is the truck’s actual fuel consumption and whether the engine, hybrid system, transmission, fuel system, sensors, or related controls are operating properly. Ford personnel reportedly responded that I could not compare the Ford with another vehicle and that the hybrid system engages electric drive frequently. I have not received a written technical explanation, fuel-economy test, hybrid-system diagnostic report, or other documentation establishing whether the truck’s fuel consumption is within specification. Ford’s written September 2 response stated that the truck’s aggressive mud-and-snow tires could affect fuel economy and smooth driving. That statement does not resolve whether the truck’s actual fuel consumption is normal for this vehicle or whether the engine, hybrid system, transmission, fuel system, sensors, or control systems require testing. The truck also had an existing lift, tires, wheels, and suspension configurat INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORM

I experienced two wet-road skidding incidents in my 2022 Ford F-150 hybrid. In the first, I was stopped at a light before turning across a three-lane roadway. When I began turning after the light changed, the truck skidded about two lanes over and I lost control. After it appeared to level out, I gently tried to keep it in my lane. I do not know whether traction or stability control was off or whether I may have pressed a control button. The following Friday, after stopping at a red light, the truck began to skid when I released the brake. I was not flooring the accelerator. I reported the incidents to Ford of Clermont. Its [XXX] service record documents my report that the rear end skidded side to side toward another lane and that traction control seemed not to work. Ford’s [XXX] response attributed the wet-traction concern to aggressive mud-and-snow tires and reported rubbing at the steering stops. Its [XXX] invoice recommended replacing four tires and performing an alignment, but states neither was performed. Two independent repair facilities later identified transmission problems. I was told by personnel at the shops that the transmission concern could explain the skidding or loss of control. Universal Tire and Auto’s [XXX] record documents a transmission diagnostic and lists transmission removal and replacement as declined, not performed. Ricky G’s Transmission Repair’s [XXX] document records chattering in reverse, no codes at that time, a diagnostic charge, and an estimated repair. These documents record transmission findings and atributed that the transmission caused the wet-road incidents. The exact cause remains to be established. I found an the federal safety agency investigation report concerning unexpected transmission downshifts and rear-wheel lockup in certain 2015–2017 F-150s with a 6R80 transmission. My vehicle is a 2022 hybrid, and I do not know whether that investigation is relevant to my vehicle. I ask the federal safety agency to consider INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6

Recall # 23V896 was sent to me on January 2024 and 14 months later still no parts available for the repair. Risk are the vehicle may roll in park and lose power while driving. I have already had one of the bolts break and it was replaced with a new defective bolt because replacements ( non - defective ) bolts were not yet available. Why is this taking over a year to resolve?

the federal safety agency states to file a complaint if there has been no remedy in reference to a safety recall in a timely manner. As of to date there is still an open recall on my truck and Ford has stated the recall is incomplete due to no remedy yet available. This recall has been in place since 12/22/23. My truck did have a broken hub bolt and I believe the dealership replaced the passenger rear axle hub. The dealership told me that this is only a temporary repair until Ford comes up with a remedy.

We have been stranded twice for the recall issued in late January 2024, for the rear axle. The truck is currently at the 5th dealership since January2024. The truck is not driveable and Ford still does not have a way to fix the issue. We are having the axle replaced for the second time by a Ford dealership, with no assurance that they have determined how to solve the problem. We picked the truck up from the last axle repair on 2-21-24. We had a rear wheel sensor issue on 3-6-24, after driving less than 1000 miles. On 3-28-24, the axle defect occurred again. The truck was towed again. The Ford website says they do not yet have a solution, yet their certified mechanics continue to “fix” the issue.

Broken bolt in passenger side rear axel. While pulling off the tire the bolt fell to the ground. It is evident it had been broken for quite some time. I think it prevents lateral movement of the axel.

Right side Rear axle Bolt sheared off. Dealers do not want to fix or cant fix the problem even thought there is a Customer Satisfaction Bulletin that Ford has put out to fix the vehicle. CSP 22B34 Bolt shear has been confirmed by 2 dealers and was told they could not do anything about it until there was a Recall. This has been happening to Hundreds to thousands of F150's. No warnings that it had sheared off. I had my tires Rotated and the mechanics found the bolt rolling around the wheel drum which could cause other problems if not fixed. It looks like the only thing holding the axle in is the brake calipers and if they fail , wheel and or axle could separate from the vehicle which could cause other drivers or pedestrians to be injured. Please help and have Ford make this a recall before somebody is injured or worse.
