Consumer Description

The the head of the rear axle bolt on the passenger side has sheered off. This is the bolt which holds the rear axel shaft connected to the brake assembly. This broke at least 2 weeks before it was officially discovered on August 9th of 2022. Ford has yet to provide a clear date on when the replacement part will be provided. They claim the enter axel shaft needs to be replaced and that the replacement SHOULD come off of back order at the end of October 2022. They told me this same thing back in August, that i would have my part by the end of August. The internet is ablaze with this issue.
