Filed Oct 1, 2026 · Body, Suspension · 62,000 miles · NY

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while reversing at 3 MPH out of the driveway, the vehicle suddenly stopped and lowered to the ground. The contact exited the vehicle and became aware that the front driver’s side control arm had fractured and the subframe and the whole front end of the vehicle were on the ground. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was out of warranty. The contact stated that an independent mechanic arrived at the residence and confirmed that the control arm support had separated from the subframe and the wheel was tipping over and rubbing against the inside of the fender well. The failure mileage was 62,000.

While driving on a straight road, flat surface the ball joint failed/broke causing the lower control arm to drop which in turn caused a collapse of the driver side front suspension. The front quarter panel sustained significant damage due to the collapse. It was all I could do to try and keep the truck under reasonable control. The control bar broke off, traveled under the truck causing some damage, to the under carriage, punctured the rear right passenger tire before denting the back right panel behind the wheel where it exited. Fortunately this was in a rural area, early morning so no other vehicles were involved. Should we keep the pieces so they can be tested/inspected

I noticed the rear axel or back suspension on this truck is making a very load uncomfortable sound, like when two pieces of metal are rubbing up against each other... Its under tension and making a bind on the back passenger side. I got the truck with my mechanic few and body/auto repair guy and observed a 1/4 inch UBolt that holds the lead spring I believe hitting up against another bolt on the rear suspension and I cant access or open the drain plug too check the differential. Also there are a lot of loose wires under the dashboard, that already made me trip once, and Im a disabled veteran. Can you please help me get that taken care of?

The coil spring on the front end suspension snapped on my Ford F-150. The truck is a 2019 with just over 43,000 miles. The truck has not had any performance or suspension modifications over the life of the vehicle. Coil springs are an essential component of the suspension system, absorbing impacts and maintaining vehicle stability. As the coil spring snapped completely, this is a hazard to the driver of the vehicle and anyone driving alongside the road. The vehicle is now at a independent service center, once they identified the coil had snapped, they contacted me immediately noting the vehicle is no longer safe for driving. There were no warning lamps or messages that arose due to the issue. The only warning sign was a "squeaking noise" at low speeds which I requested the mechanic review when doing a routine oil change.

Rear Left Upper Shock Absorber Mount Splintered into three and sheared off. This problem is happening to other late model F-150 owners https://www.f150forum.com/f118/broken-shock-frame-mount-496255/ Someone just posted that the left rear upper shock mount sheared off on his 2022 F-150 FX4 I have no left rear shock and I took it to the Ford dealer and they didn't even attempt to warranty repair the truck. I do not understand anything over the phone due to my hearing, please email me at [XXX] On the evening of March 11, I had just ate dinner at a Italian restaurant and saw my left rear shock absorber laying on the ground. This shouldn't be happening on a truck that is not even five years old and doesn't even have 100,000 miles on it. Ford should be fixing my truck period. This is a safety issue.
