Ford tells me the Lug nuts on my car's tires have become loose, expanded. My car has only 31k miles. Yet, these faulty parts make it at risk of tires flying off while driving!! Ford wants to charge me to replace their faulty nuts. That's nuts!

Bought the vehicle used in July 2022 with around 80,000 miles. After 2 weeks of owning, vehicle started to shift weird and didn't seem to be driving normal. No warning or codes popped up but called dealership to see if they knew what was going on. Took it in and had them hook it up to their systems and still had no codes. Then after test driving, said that it was the torque converter. They replaced it and the vehicle seemed to drive fine until about 11 or 10 months later. The vehicle started to have similar issues but worse. Misfiring when driving in traffic, transmission seemed like it was skipping gears, was worried it was going to shut off and I was going to loose power steering when on the interstate one time. Called the dealership and was told they couldn't do anything unless I paid at this point. Took it to a small transmission shop and had them check it out. The flushed the whole transmission and said they fluid was terrible and their was metal scapes in the fluid as well. Told me it was best to get rid of it but I still owed too much money on it to do anything. Now a year later, I am back to the same issues. Transmission is causing problems, not shifting into gears properly, shifting very hard, jerking when shifting. Scared to drive it in traffic incase it breaks down or completely blows the transmission. I have found a Ford Forum with over 80 other individuals who are having the same issues and begging Ford to do something about this.

Failing torque converter and valve body at approx. 91,000 miles and just under 5 years old. When accelerating (at any speed), the vehicle chugs and struggles to speed up. No warning lights or check engine lights came on. Ford initially diagnosed the problem and wanted to replace JUST the torque converter and valve body. Upon bringing it to dedicated transmission shop it was confirmed the torque converter and valve body are failing. It is not yet confirmed if there is any other work needed as they are checking if Ford will even sell them parts to fix the issue. I was told this has become a known and common occurrence with this specific model of transmission, and there is not even a full remedy of the issue with repair, as they won't replace any other parts in the transmission when the torque converter and valve body are replaced - leading to repeat repairs of the same transmission.

The mechanic that inspected the car after it broke down said that the EcoBoost 2.0 has an issue that the engine cracks or something like that allowing coolant or whatnot to get into the spark plugs. I think I explained that. The car now needs an engine. With 83000 miles. I’m sure this could cause a fire.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: A rearview camera that displays a blank image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle. A rearview image that continues to be displayed after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse may distract the driver. Both of these situations can increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will update the rearview camera software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 4, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S72.
