Major problems with my 22 Hybrid at 35K miles

[markey]

The gas tank started leaking where the filler tube meets the gas tank three weeks ago. Got a new gas tank. Now I noticed a shaking in my front wheels when accelerating. Took it to the dealer and he said the Truck needs a new transmission. Something to do with the flywheel in the transmission. I have to wait four weeks for a new tranny. Ready to get rid of this truck with all the problems and recalls.
Update: bought an extended warrantee from Granger Ford. Still waiting for my new tranny. The dealer said around March 23rd.

Super bummer!

Dump it.

Curious if you have an extended warranty?

Don't think we'll be hearing from the OP anymore. Too bad.

Out of warranty on a Ford.. usually best to dump - at least in my view/experience.

My 22 was a problem child. Swapped it out for 24. No issues yet. Covid vechiles. Had poor quality control on suppiers. 24 are being checked alot more before they leave the manufacturer.
0 defect policy went into effect. I got my money back on the 22.

Lemon law in your state? Usually the initial consult is free. So sorry to hear that what should be an exciting experience with a new vehicle turned into a regretful purchase.

If the dealer fixes it successfully then it's not a lemon. Lemon laws are for unresolvable issues.

I believe, but I could be wrong, that any new parts put in your vehicle at the dealership have a two year warranty.

He does not need an extended warranty. The hybrid drivetrain is good for 8 years/100k miles.

I don't think the hybrid powertrain has a flywheel. It might be the CV axles. Do you have another dealer nearby to get a second diagnosis?

I'd get a second opinion, sounds like cv axel ( VERY common problem with these trucks).

There is a flywheel and a sort of static clutch even to act as a breakaway/damper between the crankshaft and trans input.
