I returned my truck to Ford dealership complaining of a sharp "clunking" in the driveline when letting up on accelerator. The dealer added 1 qt of transmission fluid, ran computer diagnostics without any indication of a problem. It was requested that I take a dealership technician on a test drive to illustrate problem. The technician stated that the "clunking" was a "normal transmission downshift". The "clunking" has not increased in intensity, but I am not convinced it is normal operation due to 1)the sharpness of the jolt and 2} CO-workers exact same model truck does not exibit these symptoms.

Drive gear assembly disconnected from transmission tail shaft housing causing rear wheel to lock up, which caused truck to spin/flip.

Vehicle has a constant vibration, and a very heavy vibration at 65mph. It comes up through the seat and the steering wheel. I have had several people tell me it sounds like the drive shaft. Dealership says it has a harmonic imbalance in the engine, and Ford does not have a fix for it yet. I was told I have to wait until they do, or just start throwing parts at it trying to find a fix. I was told "their engineers are working on it". Have inquired since and found they still have no answer. If it is the shaft then I could end up catapulting myself and my vehicle. It has an aluminum shaft (from what I have been told), not sure if that has something to do with the problem. I am very concerned about my safety and the safety of those around me. I would like to have the problem fixed. Please help me force the manufacturer to research and resolve this problem as soon as possible. Thank you, sincerely, rachel a. Langdon.

Driveshaft failure.

When applying brakes vehicle would pull to left or to right. When driving at highway speeds consumer would hear loud/weired rubbing noise. Consumer took vehicle to dealer. Dealer felt noise was coming from driveline and front end alignment, but could not correct defect.

Caliper malfunction, shoes rubbing automatic transmission clunking when shifting from forward to reverse or vice versa.

Oil gauge sticks in cold weather, it will eventually work. There is a bump/clunk in rear end on initial acceleration and vehicle shakes at 70+ mph.
