March 20, 2026Wheels

There is uneven tread wear and cupping on the Continental Tires installed by Ford. These tires were already replaced once and have the same issue after 7000 miles. The front tire Outer tread is wearing out and other owners are reporting tires ripping apart.

September 3, 2025Power Train

Less than 4000 miles- first transmission failed while pulling a large trailer- ford replaced the transmission and the new transmission, only 200 miles later did the same thing when pulling a trailer, up hill. It throws the transmission into 10th gear and you loose all power, Check engine light comes on and it slams back into 4th gear. Will not shift in or out of 4th. We were almost in a head on collision pulling a trailer because it did it while passing a semi and we had no power. Two transmissions this low of mileage seems like it must be a batch of faulty transmissions that need to be recalled asap.
