2005 Ford F-150 Power Train Driveline Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	867052
Internal NHTSA #	10410454
Manufacurer	FORD MOTOR COMPANY
Brand	FORD
Model	F-150
Model Year	2005
File date	06/11/10
Component	POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	1) driving down a paved road going about 35 mph. 2) heard a loud bang and then a metal grinding sound. The driveshaft forced its way and busted through the center carrier bearing. It only needs to happen once and it cannot be fixed. The center carrier brearing is snapped. This part holds the driveshaft. Without the bearing, the drive shaft will hang down and grind against the pavement and throw it out of balance and damage it. Eventually the driveshaft will break in two. Then the truck will lose power to the wheels which can cause an accident. 3) the driveshaft from ford is nonserviceable. If any 1 part fails you are buying a complete new driveshaft for upwards of $1,200. 00. None of the parts can be replaced. The driveshaft for my truck costs $1200. 00 from ford. The center carrier bearing could not be replaced because the bearing is installed before tube was friction welded (bad) in place. The bearing cannot be changed without cutting driveshaft apart, destroying the driveshaft. This part is only $35. 00 but you have to buy a complete new driveshaft. I found a company that specializes in driveshafts and makes serviceable driveshafts for ford trucks. I have heard others have this problem so this is a common driveshaft defect with 04-05 ford f-150 trucks. I bought the new driveshaft from http://www. Driveshaftspecialist. Com f or $725 + installation. This is less than what ford charges but is not something i feel should have to be replaced on a newer truck with this mileage and that is driven very lightly unless there is a defect in design like there is with ford f-150 drive shafts. This is something thiat is supposed to last the lifetime of the truck. *kb
