In owners' own words

Rear axle bolt broke while 1,300 miles from home. Recall has been in place for at least 17 months now and still NO repair available from Ford. THIS IS A HAZARD. While driving when the bolt breaks you will lose power which if you were passing in the left lane on a highway at 70MPH it would result in a catastrophic situation.

I have had the rear axle bolts break 2 times now. ford has had 2 years to come up with a fix and they have not as of today. the recall was issued over 2 years ago and the temporary fix is all they have come up with. dealers are not wanting to take the trucks in trade, I have had to spend time and money for the temporary fix. Ford has had more than enough time to come up with a permanent fix and they have failed Power train
