When moving in reverse or drive, from a stop, the rear end makes a loud popping sound. (thought my spare tire had come loose. Verified that was not the case) while driving on a roadway and turning corners, you can feel the rear end sway as if the axle shafts are too long which causes the rear end to feel loose. Effects driveability.

The contact owns a 2003 Ford F-150. On November 6, 2006, the vehicle's coil pack failed. The contact stated that before it failed, the vehicle was running extremely rough and the check engine light illuminated. In December of 2006, she took the vehicle to the dealer because the engine light illuminated again, a second coil pack failed, and there was a hole in the cv boot. The second coil pack was replaced and the contact was told that the cv boot had been repaired. Upon returning home, she discovered that the cv boot had only been turned on the other side and was not replaced. In addition to the first cv boot not being repaired, the other axle boot has detached completely off the shaft. The VIN, purchase date, and engine size were unknown.

Driving at slow speed on gravel road, lost control of vehicle, swerved to the right, was able to stop vehicle, found left rear wheel had come off, left rear axle shaft broken at wheel. No vehicle damage, did not contact anything. Axle just broke.

Clunking sound in the transmission area, when turning corners and/or slowing down and the truck is shifting into a lower gear. As soon as I give it gas I will get the clunking sound again ( it is a very hard sound). The dealership and Ford says this is typical, and all of the trucks do this. Ford remedy-lube the yoke. This does not work or solve the problem.

I have a 2004 F-150 supercrew and have noticed a vibration/shudder in the rear end between speeds of 25-45 mph since inception. Once over 50 mph it seems to disipate. Also experiencing the occassional nibble at the steering wheel. I was planning on taking it in but I don't think I'll waste my time since Ford hasn't been able to make an exact determination of its cause according to the other complaints I've read on your site. Love the truck-hate the shudder/vibration!!!.

A scraping sound from the right rear was noticed at 31,000 miles. Informed dealer of noise, sounded like brakes scrapping. Dealer said brakes were fine. 51,000 miles noise turned into a wining sound. Dealer said it was a non-related sound. Ford refused to honor warranty for mis-diagnois during warranty period. Dealer did not give any further advise nor recommendations at 31,000 miles. Ford said a wheel bearing check was not done at 30,000 miles. Dealer tech said axel was out of factory tollerance was cause. Repair cost was $3,500. 00. I did not know what made the noise , I was describing the noise as possible brakes, but now Ford says that is what I asked them only to look at. That is not true, I said it is making a noise , sounds like the brakes, they should have drove it rather than just looking at the brakes. They said it was fine then, now they say I should have brought it back if the noise was still there. I did not as they said it was ok. When it started grinding , I then brought it back. I was lucky it did not lock up and cause an accident.

While driving on interstate 68 going up a mountain and towing a RV, upon reaching top of the mountain heard a loud noise. Started slowing down, passed the guardrail, and all of a sudden vehicle jack knifed out of control. Rv impact forced truck off the road. Shattered the rear cab. When they towed vehicle to dealer, was told by the mechanic that this was a common problem because bearings failed due to bearing spins in the housing unit freezing up.
