The contact was forced to use the parking brake to stop the vehicle. Due to the failure, the contact initially had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic where they diagnosed the vehicle with a defective driveshaft which was linked to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V767000 (Power Train). The vehicle was then towed to the dealer where they confirmed the failure but informed the contact that the recall repair had to wait for an approval from the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no additional assistance. The vehicle was not repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

There are actually two problems that I'm experiencing repeatedly and have almost since the van was new: The lug nuts on the wheels loosen almost constantly. I have to keep a tire iron in the van at all times because I never know when a wheel will start to work loose. This happens when the wheels are torqued to Ford specs. The other problem is the wheel studs breaking off. I've probably had something like 10-12 or more shear off in the 6 years that I've had the van. This van is not used for heavy loads. It carries laundry and a typical load is almost always under 1,000 lbs. It is also not driven hard. My mechanic is baffled by both issues.

The Van looses all power. This has happened 4 times. The display will appear brake boost failure or engine failure. We were driving on the 60 fwy in the number one lane when this happened last. My husband was able maneuver to shoulder without causing an accident.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Transit. The contact stated while driving 20-40 MPH the vehicle started shaking uncontrollably. The contact accelerated and as the vehicle stopped shaking. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the carrier bearing needed to be replaced and that the vehicle was not under recall. The contact was advised to contact the manufacturer for assistance. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not under recall and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was 70,000.

THE DRIVESHAFT SEPARATED, I LOST MOTIVE POWER WHILE DRIVING, AND THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE IN PARK CREATING THE RISK OF UNINTENDED VEHICLE MOVEMENT. IN ADDITION, THE SEPARATED DRIVESHAFT DAMAGED SURROUNDING COMPONENTS, INCLUDING BRAKE AND FUEL LINES. HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELLING AT ABOUT 50 MPH. I AM LUCKY THAT THE ROAD WAS PRETTY EMPTY AND NO ONE WAS HURT. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THAT RECALL FIXED FOR THE LONGEST TIME BUT IT'S ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND FORD FOES NOT EVEN KNOW WHEN AND IF THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. FORD REFUSES TO EVEN GIVE ME A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE OR REIMBURSEMENT FOR A RENTAL.

Exhaust manifold faulty

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Transit. The contact stated that he noticed a leak underneath the vehicle on the driver’s side near the engine. The contact inspected the underside of the vehicle and discovered that support near the engine was completely rusted through.

On Jan.17th, 2022,the Driveshaft Flexible Coupling separated at Highway speed, taking out my Fuel Lines and severely damaging the Transmission and other under-body components. (Safety Recall Notice 19S38 / NHTSA Recall 19V-767) On May 19th, 2022, I received my 1st phone call from Todd-Judy Ford, Marmet, SC. w/Service Estimate for $5,725.75 of repairs he claimed necessary that would NOT BE COVERED BY FORD. , I know the guy was trying to pad the bill. I told him to talk to Ford Pro. On July,25th, 2022 Todd-Judy Ford called to inform me that my Van was “ready to go,” “completely fixed” I  left Sept. 9th, 2022 driving over 500 miles, to Todd-Judy Ford. Once there they started telling me about all the new parts they put into my Van, saying “You’ve got a “New Transmission,” at which point I interrupted him, saying that I knew it was a New Transmission “Case,” not a “New Transmission.” He then proceeded to explain that when they got the “New Case”, the Trans. Tech. inspects all the parts from my Trans., replacing anything it needs, while re-assembling into the “New Case.” He claims that it’s a “Rebuilt” Transmission! So, I ask, “Is there a Warranty on it, then?” To which he replies “Yes there is!” I looked at the paperwork and saw quite a few parts listed as used, which are obviously Transmission Components. I also see “Rebuilt Transmission” listed twice as Corrections!  My Van had a "Dead Battery" and a "massive exhaust leak". On Nov. 17th, 2022, just 51 days after picking up my Van, the Transmission failed! Towed to Rock-Hill Ford SC. It threw a Code of P0731, which is “Gear 1 Incorrect Ratio.” Multiple teeth from a gear sheared off. Ford Pro (Customer Service) then said “We can’t offer you any “Financial Assistance” on this repair. She said something else, about not having any other “Programs” to offer. I had never asked for Financial Assistance! I asked for the Transmission to be repaired under the Warranty from 51 day previous! Rock Hill Ford wants $9,806.09.

We repaired brakes on this vehicle that is owned by one of our customers business. When you replace rear brake rotors on these vans the caliper bracket mounting bolts and the bolts that hold the rotors to the axle and the differential must be replaced. They are torque to yield bolts and only one use is permitted. We have several vehicle in fleets that we work on that have these same vans. We had always used the Ford replacement bolts and had no issues. NAPA started stocking a Dorman supplied bolts for the rotors to be attached. The part number for the NAPA parts are 92601271. The bolts sheared off on the right rear and allowed the right rear tire and wheel to come out of the rear axle housing.

Failure and stall occurred 8-9-21. Throttle body internal fault. A Ford dealer in Aurora, Colorado diagnosed, has the vehicle, and the defective part. I don't know if they will hold on to it for inspection. My vehicle stalled while driving on a busy road and lost power. The warning message said something to the effect of "terminal engine failure, requires service" I was lucky enough to get my vehicle to the side of the road in heavy traffic, but it was stalled in a precarious spot and the vehicle did in fact get hit while I waited for the tow truck. I was worried for my safety, so I was waiting off of the road about 15 feet from my vehicle rather than in it. This is a potentially life-threatening issue. Had I been on a highway in heavy traffic, this could have caused a major accident. This appears to be a common issue, so I am not sure why it has no recall at this time. In my opinion, it needs one for the safety of the vehicle owners and those around them in traffic.

I was driving in my neighborhood about 20mph and the spare tire fell off the truck near pedestrians walking on side of road. At that point i had under 50000mi on vehicle and only 5 1/2 years old. Lucky not on highway with a motorcycle or car behind me. That could have resulted in a major accident.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 FORD TRANSIT 250 3.5 ON THE INTERSTATE THE VAN LOST POWER AND NEARLY GOT MY KILLED WHILE TRYING TO NAVIGATE OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT POWER. THE THROTTLE BODY CODE WAS THROWN ON THE CPU, AND I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THESE NEED TO BE REPLACED WAY MORE THAN NORMAL WITH THESE FORDS. IT'S A HAZARD TO SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN WITHOUT WARNING! AND THE REPLACEMENT PART IS STILL FAULTY. THE THROTTLE BODIES NEED TO BE RECALLED.

VAN WILL MAKE A VIBRATING NOISE THAT IS NOT FELT THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL OR PEDALS AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH. IT WILL AGAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 65+MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF OVERDRIVE MAKE THE SAME AUDIBLE VIBRATION. LOCAL FORD DEALER ATTRIBUTED THIS TO A MANUFACTURER RECALL OF THE DRIVE SHAFT. DRIVESHAFT HAS BEEN REPLACED OR WORKED ON AT THREE DIFFERENT POINTS OF TIME OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED. CURRENTLY AS OF 5-14-21 FORD DEALER HAS IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM TO BE THE TORQUE CONVERTER AT THE EXPENSE OF $4,000.

TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT AT 75,942 MILES. DUE TO A VEHICLE DESIGN THAT ALLOWS POOLING OF WATER & RUSTING IN THE CONTROL ARM ATTACHMENT BOLTS, BOTH CONTROL ARMS HAD TO BE REPLACED DURING THE TORQUE CONVERTER REPAIR.

FOLLOW-UP TO PRIOR PROBLEM REPORT ON THIS VIN. AFTER 24 HRS WITH BATTERY DISCONNECTED, I RECONNECTED BATTERY. PRIOR PROBLEM DID NOT REPRODUCE AND VEHICLE APPEARED TO POWER-UP NORMALLY. I USED THE KEY TO SUCCESSFULLY START AND RUN THE ENGINE. BUT THERE WERE NO INSTRUMENT READINGS, TACHOMETER READ ZERO. I MOVED THE KEY BACK TO THE OFF POSITION, BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN. THE ONLY WAY TO KILL THE ENGINE WAS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLE. THAT MEANS THE DEFECTIVE MODULE IS NOT FAILING SAFE.

A CONTROL MODULE BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING BY FIRST CAUSING THE HEADLIGHTS TO COME ON SPONTANEOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED (AT HOME), HEADLIGHT SWITCH OFF, NO KEY IN IGNITION. AFTER REMOVING THE BATTERY NEGATIVE CABLE, ANY ATTEMPT TO RECONNECT THE BATTERY CAUSES THE STARTER MOTOR TO SPONTANEOUSLY ENERGIZE AND THE ENGINE TO START RUNNING, AGAIN WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. I AM ABLE TO ALWAYS REPRODUCE THIS MALFUNCTION. I IMMEDIATELY DISCONNECT THE BATTERY EACH TIME, AS I CONSIDER THIS MALFUNCTION TO BE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS, AND I CANNOT PREDICT WHAT FURTHER MALFUNCTION MIGHT ENSUE. I ACQUIRED THIS VEHICLE USED ~12 MONTHS AGO, AND IT HAS RUN NORMALLY UNTIL NOW. CURRENT MILEAGE ~81,700. THERE HAVE BEEN NO MODIFICATIONS TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TRANSIT 350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR INTAKE WAS MOUNTED ON THE VEHICLE IN A WAY THAT ALLOWED WATER TO GET INSIDE AND RUST OUT THE BOLTS THAT SECURED THE AIR INTAKE IN PLACE. AS A RESULT, ANTI-FREEZE WOULD LEAK AND POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS LOSING ANTI-FREEZE AND THE TOP OF THE ENGINE WAS SMOKING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE BOLTS HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED AND THE WATER FROZE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. WHEN THE ICE MELTED AND THE ENGINE WARMED UP FROM DRIVING, A FIRE NEARLY OCCURRED. THE CONTACT SAW SMOKE, PULLED OVER, AND OPENED THE HOOD. THE CONTACT HAD TO CALL TO HAVE MORE ANTI-FREEZE DELIVERED TO REFILL THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GARNET FORD (1610 WILMINGTON PIKE, WEST CHESTER, PA 19382 (610) 358-5600) WHERE IT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND TRANSFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

THE VEHICLE STALLED UPON BACKING OUT OF A STEEP DRIVEWAY & TURNING TO THE LEFT. IT WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VAN HAD BEEN PARKED, AT A CUSTOMERS' HOME ALL DAY. HEAVY SNOW BEGAN FALLING A COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE THE VAN WAS STARTED & WARMED UP TO MELT THE SNOW FROM THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN THE VAN STALLED, IT WAS BROADSIDE TO THE STREET, BLOCKING BOTH OPPOSING LANES OF TRAVEL AS THE HEAVY SNOW INCREASED IN INTENSITY. THE VAN WAS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO PUSH OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, DUE TO THE QUICKLY ACCUMULATING SNOW, INITIALLY PREVENTING A PLOW & POLICE CRUISER FROM PASSING. AAA TOWING WAS CALLED BUT, DID NOT ARRIVE UNTIL 2 HOURS AFTER BEING SUMMONSED AS THE SNOW CONTINUED TO ACCUMMULATE. I HAD THE VAN TOWED TO OUR BUSINESS LOCATION AND DECIDED TO CHECK THE ENGINE AIR FILTER. WHEN I OPENED THE FILTER HOUSING, IT AND THE AIR FITER WERE WATER-SOAKED. I OBSERVED WATER RUNNING DOWN THE WINDSHIELD, DOWN ALONG THE FIREWALL AND ONTO/INTO THE AIR FILTER BOX. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER (FORD OF WILBRAHAM, MA, TEL.: 413-543-2800) TO REPORT MY FINDINGS & TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE SOLUTION WAS PERFORMED AS PER TSB (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN) #19-2091 AND AT A COST OF $488.45 (INVOICE #659506), WHICH I RELUCTANTLY PAID TO THE DEALER. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS A POOR DESIGN ALLOWING WATER TO RUN DIRECTLY INTO THE AIR FILTER BOX, WHICH, IN TURN, SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE & RENDERS THE VEHICLE MOTIONLESS & CAN BE DANGEROUS, DEPENDING UPON WHERE & WHEN THE VEHICLES' ENGINE STALLS & THEN FAILS TO RESTART. THE SERVICE WRITER SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING SHE COULD DO TO HELP ME & THAT I AM STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE TSB. IN ADDITION, MY INVOICE INDICATES THAT RECALL #19S38 WAS PERFORMED, YET IT IS STILL OUTSTANDING ON THE RECALL WEBSITE UNDER MY VEHICLES' VIN. FOR THE RECORD, THIS VAN HAD ONLY 31,853 MILES ON IT, WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THIS PROBLEM.

IT APPEARS THAT THIS MODEL HAS AN ENGINE FAILURE ISSUE RELATED TO WATER ENTERING THE AIR BOX AND CAUSING THE WATER TO TRAVEL TO COMPONENTS THAT DISABLES THE CAR. I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN AND GOT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND HEAVY RAIN ON I40 IN KNOXVILLE TN FOR AN HOUR WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK TO GET ME OUT OF A DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER THAT PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THE NEXT DAY THAT THERE WAS A TSB ON THIS ISSUE AND THAT THERE WAS A KIT THAT REMEDIES THE PROBLEM. A DEFLECTOR OF SOME SORT TO KEEP WATER OUT OF THE AIR BOX. THE COST TO THE CONSUMER IS OVER $750 TO GET IT DONE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT IS FORD KNOWS ABOUT ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAS COME UP WITH A SOLUTION, IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND NOT JUST A TSB. THEIR POOR DESIGN AND NEGLIGENCE PUT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ABOUT AN HOUR . I COULD HAVE BEEN RAMMED BY HIGHWAY TRAVELERS AND POSSIBLY KILLED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS DISABLED BECAUSE OF A POOR DESIGN THAT FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR AT THEIR COST. SOMEONE PLEASE ADVISE FORD AND THEIR DEALERS THAT THIS IS NOT A CONVENIENCE ISSUE, BUT A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REMEDY THE POOR DESIGN AT THEIR COST. THANK YOU.
