2025 Hybrid Bad CV Axels from factory.

[jyoshcyox]

Just wanted to share my ongoing experience.

Bought new 2025, took in for EPB recall, noted the presence of vibration at highway speeds..

The build date was supposedly when the new improved axels were implemented and "I should not have been affected by the older defective cv axels".. not sure if they were still trying to get rid of a few old stocks, and I just got unlucky, or someone at the factory made a mistake..

But the axels were bad when I drove it off the lot, QC inspection overlooking/ missing that considering it was an ongoing repair campaign is crazy to me.

Ford is replacing them, not a big deal.. but if these were in fact the updated axels and they're still bad, it doesn't instill great confidence for the new set they'll be installing.

First brand new car I've ever had issues with, I have been buying new so I don't have to deal with repairs, but here's to hoping this is the end of my troubles with it..

Sorry to hear about the bad CV axles on your new 2025 truck. Hopefully your newly installed ones resolve the issue. When was the truck built date?

I hear Guns N Roses is also trying to replace Axel because with the weight gain, he too is vibrating at highway speeds....he ain't having it. His next album is rumored to be called "Vibrating at Highway Speeds" in response.

Bummer the work order probably won't show the OEM model number already there - but would have been good to know.

Indeed - 25 build date should have been long after the summer of 24 change to new axles.
Extra stock would hopefully not be at plant.

He gets up around 7... has a few double cheeseburgers around 9..

OK, since there was no prior AWD Hybrid version, and they changed to a different transmission, exactly which leftover axles could they have been using?

There has been no indication that the AWD hybrid uses different axles than the FWD version. The EB uses the same for FWD and AWD, so why wouldn’t the hybrid?

Beats the shit outta me hombre, I haven't looked that far into it.. the only thing I care about is the fact I bought a truck fresh from the factory with existing issues. As I stated "I dont know if" just postulating. Attempting to give Ford the benefit of the doubt, so I dont completely write them off as a viable option in the future. Took 10-12 years away from the brand after the issues I had with my crown vic..

Sometimes bad parts slip through QA. Glad the dealership is taking care of you and you’ll be perfect and ready to roll.

If you’re going to hate your Maverick because of this go ahead and sell it or trade it in.

Sometimes? this is a very widespread issue. So much so they have a replacement campaign in place.

I'm just trying to be kind and let people who may be experiencing the same or similar in 2025 or 2026, that we'reobviously not "out of the woods" on this issue.. I've seen several people post being gaslit by dealer to inevitably end up needing the CV axels to be replaced.

I'll probably trade it in on the Toyota version in a few years after they release it though.. sorry to upset you by not selling or trading it now.. such I childish remark so many of you love to say.

No this is not a widespread issue with the 2025s and the new axle #. There is no campaign in place for 2025s and the new part.

Your vehicle had the new axle # and happened to get a bad part. It happens.

What is childish is throwing a tantrum about it, swearing off a brand as a result, and then saying you're going to buy a non-existent Toyota truck when their engines and transmissions have been grenading on their other models recently.

 

[jyoshcyox]

a tantrum??? I've literally never had to have any of my other brand new vehicles serviced beyond oil changes..

Feel sorry for you bud. Stay salty & Enjoy your truck!

OP, just trade your truck in now and get something with better ...axels..... you'll be just fine.


Good luck.....

I don’t think about you at all.

Your continued need to respond speaks otherwise.

I don’t think about you at all.
