| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The right rear axle seal failed under warranty at 34427 miles and was replaced by park ford. the right rear axle seal failed again at 70400 miles. the failure causes axle oil to leak out onto the brake pads. the truck is difficult to control during hard braking. i called ford customer service and talked to park ford multiple times requesting them to fix the problem. they said the truck was out of warranty and they would not help. i took the truck to another mechanic who found that the plastic fitting (breather element) at the top of the rear axle vent line was plugged. it was molded shut from the factory. this caused the axle seal to fail twice and causes a safety problem when oil leaks onto the brake pads.*ak |
