Ok dropped it off this morning and picked up a loaner. They called me and said the Right IWE was blown, right axle and hub so far. AMAZINGLY these parts were already replaced 2 months ago with 2000 miles on it. SMH. Still have not heard back from Ford on the voluntary buy back... 5 th time in shop and 35+ days in shop.

I know this may sound stupid but by any chance is the front diff in 4 wheel drive all the time? Maybe transfer case has malfunctioned some how to allow it to happen? Just doesn't make since to me with all that damage in short period of time but it does sound like it's full time 4 wheel drive type of damage from driving on dry pavement use.
Just a brain fart idea.

Make sure they check the vacuum lines too. If they are cracked and leaking it will always engage the hubs.

I use 4 wheel drive 3-4 times a week for my construction business. That's why I took the videos showing it on GRASS not dry pavement. It's not always in 4 wheel drive because I can turn on a dime without the hubs jumping.

YES YES YES I have told them hundreds of times to replace the vacuum lines, but Nothing!!!!

The hubs won't jump
In 4wd. They are not locked together. It's an open front diff.
