I live in the desert, and it gets really hot here. When the temperature is above 105 or so the regenerative braking kicks into engine braking, the hybrid battery doesn’t charge very well and it’s harder to get the electric motor to kick on. I also started noticing a rough transition between the...
I’ve been driving my hybrid for 3 years, and have 75k miles.
I decided to wait until I hit 75k to drain and fill the eCVT, but wish I had done it sooner.
I noticed a huge improvement!
I thought they might fix them for free up to 150k (through the customer
satisfaction program). But why only the 22’s when 23 model year was also affected???

My first purchase was a Silver’s coil over kit!
When I got my xl hybrid (2 years ago) it was still a little bit rough around the edges. It lurched a little bit when switching from electric power, coming to a stop. There was a battery connection issue that was causing no start issues and people...
I’m pretty sure the improved (longer) cv axles became available about 6 months ago.
I think it’s safe to assume 22-24 models all have the bad axles that will need to be replaced by 50-60 thousand miles…
I thought they upgraded the axles.
There are new part numbers.

You probably need a new control arm assembly, since the bushings can't be replaced separately.
The shaking from bad axles can wear out the bushings.
Did you purchase an extended service plan?
Is making noise?
How long did you drive it while it had shaking front end?
How bad did the shaking get?
Is your truck stock, or lifted/lowered?
I installed a coilover kit, and dropped it right after I replaced tires and had the axles replaced.
Haven't had any issues since.
It takes quite a bit of adjustment to get a decent ride, with a coilover kit.
I adjusted spring preload to the recommended setting on the front struts, but had to keep adding preload (adjusted by turning locking collars to compress the spring) to get it to stop clunking sounds from the spring...
Please quote where I said "The problem with CV axles is aftermarket modifications".
What I do tell people, is a 2 inch puck lift will make the CV axle assemblies fail FASTER...
I don't know from personal experience, just by listening to other owners complaining about multiple early failures on...
Today is a beautiful morning here in Phoenix. Very mild temperature with no wind. I was on time, and took it easy on my commute.
I use the ev coach mode on the display, in slippery mode.
It takes a while to get the hang of "pulse and glide" driving. What you do is pay close attention to the...
Who said hybrid axles are solid???
The fact is, Ecoboost axles have been failing prematurely just like the hybrids.
Especially when lifted with a 2 inch puck spacer...
Not a huge deal if you plan on doing your own axle replacements. But expecting a dealership to cover them on a modified...
