First repair needed: front left CV axle

[YazYaz]

I have 55,000 miles on my 2023 Lariat Hybrid. I just had my first repair done. It was the front left CV axle. I slowly began to notice a front-end vibration at certain speeds. I assumed it was simply out of balanced wheels (I had installed my snow tires about a month earlier) but it was actually a broken axle. The dealer had the part on hand and it took about 1.5 hours to change out. It was under warranty so there was no charge. One repair over 55,000 miles is pretty good.

It's amazing how when something like this builds gradually you begin to accept it and don't realize how bad it is. When I drove home after the repair I was shocked at the difference.

2022 with 15,000 heard a noice ONCE when I put it in reverse, will just wait and see if it happens again? But all in all this is a GREAT truck and I just love it.

just got an update from Ford on the build for my 2025 Lobo. its been moved up 2 weeks to Feb 24th...Very Excited. I'm adding the door panel and fender flares once it gets delivered to the dealer. I also bought some Chrome Wolf emblems I will attach to the sides near the fender vents.
I wanted a Red one and dont understand why its offered on the XLT but not on the Lobo so I got the Black. always had black cars until I bough this 2006 Chevy SSR that I am keeping since I've had 'Lucille' for almost 19yrs w/48000 miles.
BTW I named the Lobo, 'Norma Jeane' after the most beautiful women ever!

If you have 55,000 miles on your truck, you must have an ESP warranty, or was it covered by a recall?

You should be seeing it by end of March if you're like I was. Mine was 2-19-24 and I picked her up on Good Friday last year

CV would be covered under powertrain warranty which is 5yr/60K.

Powertrain warranty is 5/60,000. I do have an EP that has a $100 deductible but did not have to use that.
