Had my barebones xl since April 2022. Shaking started, thought it was bald tires. (Which went baldnafter 15k miles with rotations. Today just bought new tires pulled off and still shaking so went straight to dealer and they immediately wanted to get me into a rental. Now I’m in this thread reading and extremely worried about what’s gonna happen going forward. Damn I love that truck
Same exact thing here. Not likely to be anything with joints or axles as there's no shaking in the steering wheel - it has an internal under the hood feel. Called my dealership and they were not aware of the issue.
Told me to bring in and they'll check it out.

My dealership knew about it and the guy working on my truck said he's already done a few. I think it might be a pretty common issue with the hybrid barebones XL 2022 model.
UPDATE: took the truck in for them to look at the shaking with the acceleration problem. Even before looking at it the service rep. insisted it's likely the transmission. I told him it's been happening to more and more across the country and it's ended up being CV axle problem. He asked if that was an internet thing, I said yes - his response? yeah I don't pay attention to that (in other words, I didn't know what I was talking about). An hour later he calls me, said it was the right CV axle (I did all I could to hold back "I told ya so").
I said shouldn't we do both so as to not create more expense and time later? He said they're not allowed, so only the right one is being replaced. The problem is the axles aren't available (maybe due to it happening more? design flaw?) - backordered. So it's on priority order but no idea when it gets here. He also said there still is no bulletin from Ford to service centers on this problem.
I asked if it's safe to drive, his response: "well should be but then I'm not the one driving it."
Also the recall on the engine catching fire (potentially) is held up because Ford discovered their "fix" didn't work so they are back at the drawing board to figure out how to fix that engine design flaw.
So no idea when my CV axle will get fixed. But the problem was/is indeed the axle.

Yeah same with mine, they are on backorder, I'm still driving it for now. My dealership mechanic was really nice about though. He knew instantly and said he's done a lot of them already.
We're trying to figure out the wrench light and check engine light though. He thought the battery was being charged enough but then it happened again. Same thing as this guy here on YouTube. Legit everything happening to his truck has happened to mine.

Hey there, Walter! Can you please send me a DM with your VIN and dealer name/location so I can look into this CV axle part concern for you? To send a direct message, just click on our username and select "Start Conversation". I'd be happy to see what I can do to assist!UPDATE: took the truck in for them to look at the shaking with the acceleration problem.

Mine is also getting worse, I drive around 750 miles a week. I think it's pretty safe as long as you are aware of limitations on the truck right now. I don't drive over 80mph, I don't take it off road or anything. I'm honestly really easy on it. Mine is all highway so I figured the worst that can happen is the 1 axle bottoms out and I just need to pull over.
Half shafts,cv shafts, or cv axles, whatever you call them they fail like the rest of us on the thread. I’ve had both of mine replaced and mine are both bad for a second time.
I have this issue and the dealer has to call an engineer from ford because they don’t have a clue what’s going on
