2015 Ford Transit Powertrain & Transmission Problems

RECALLED PART FAILED CAUSING DAMAGE TO OTHER PARTS ON VEHICLE, FORD MOTOR COMPANY REFUSES TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE - NO RECALL NOTIFIACTIONS SENT - WE ARE NOT ORIGINAL OWNERS OF VEHICLE

Initially my van began with a simple engine stall and total electrical failure while driving down the highway. The check engine light came on and the van was taken to the dealer to explore the problem. Multiple codes were found and were fixed which included coils, O2 sensors, fuel pump control module and several other things. Then a few days after picking the van up from the shop it had another engine stall while driving and check engine light. After taking it to the auto shop we informed of additional codes and problems which include catalytic converters, new battery, new alternator, and other things. Picked the vehicle from dealer and a few hours later the engine light came on along with engine stall while driving. I took it back to the dealer and I report problems with poor engine performance vehicle misfiring, rough running, poor fuel performance, check engine light, several engine stalls. Dealer diagnosed the van with needing a new Powertrain Control Module. Repairs were completed and upon picking the van up from the dealer the van wouldn't start, and dealer diagnosed the van with a bad fuel pump. To date we have spent over 30K in repairs, nearly 4 vehicle accidents due to engine failures, over 4 vehicle tow's, 5 battery replacements, and the van is currently awaiting new fuel pump replacement.

Unexpected downshifting on the highway at 60mph. Caused my back tires to skid.

I have a 2015 ford transit 150 and I was driving home on the highway and out of nowhere my van downshift into I believe 1st or 2nd gear causing the engine to redline and the rear tire to lock up and cause me to lose control of the vehicle! For about 3-7 seconds in that time the cars behind me had to slam on there breaks almost rear ending me due to the abrupt deceleration from my vans rear tire locking up and as that happened the back of my van began to sway out from behind me and right at the time I believed I would have rolled over possibly killing me and injuring other drivers the van randomly went back into the proper gear allowing me to gain control and pull over. After I had time to process what just happened the check engine light came on and with my scan tool I read the code and it said that the speed sensor for the transmission had malfunctioned and after some research I found that similar year ford f150s with that same transmission and that same part number had recalled that part for the same issue! And I ask that if you would please save life’s by recalling this part it is not a debate it is a necessity please please recall this part

Transmission randomly down shift on highway almost sending me into guard rail at 70 mph transmission read code of output speed sensor and it is the same issue that has been recalled in the same year f150 with the same transmission and part. Please I pray you recall this part before someone or a family lose their life! It is a known issue and a known failure in these transmissions there is no reason this is not a recall it was recalled in the f150 for a reason to save lives so please save more by recalling this transmissions and part

Driveline issue

Ford performed a safety recall for driveshaft repair and the recall was performed - as a result of the upgraded parts (first section of driveshaft and ujoint) installed due to the recall, the driveshaft is out of balance due to the newly changed design of the driveline (going from a giubo joint to a ujoint). The vehicle now needs the rest of the driveshaft balanced (a ~15ft long driveshaft) as a result of the recall - this poses a safety issue because it could make the carrier bearings fail at any minute of operation

Vehicle will randomly downshift into first gear at 40mph almost caused me to lose control

TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR FROM ANY GEAR AT ANYTIME. I have to stop and restart truck (VAN). Sometimes it will have to sit for several days before it works again. This is a ford transit f250 van with the 6 speed automatic transmission. This started around 30,000 miles. 2015 FORD TK EPO. I bought this brand new. This happens a lot, Thanks

See attached document for complaint.

This vehicle (along with a few others) went to Preston Ford West in Randallstown, MD for recall 19S38/19V767. The recall specifically states, "RESULTING IN DRIVELINE NOISE AND VIBRATION." Once one of the other vans were picked up from the dealer, we experienced this issue at about 40mph. Our normal mechanic told us that it had a failing driveshaft. When the 3rd vehicle experience the problem (this van), I took it back to the dealer, who claimed that a bent rim was the issue. After the bent rim was fixed, I drove it & experienced the same vibrations from when it went in originally. After arguing with the staff & waiting 3 months, I am being billed for a new axle. Then our normal mechanic had to replace the wheel hub due to poor work done by the dealer. I opened a case with Ford Motor Company ([XXX]) but Ford is actually like there is nothing that they can do. I have spent almost $4k due to this recall & the Ford dealership's lack of knowledge of the products that they sell Attached is just one of the 2 Ford invoices & does not include the repair by our competent independent mechanic (any vehicles vehicles that our mechanic fixed run smoothly) Also attempted to call NHSTA with this info, but the rep was more interested in talking over me that allowed her to do nothing than helping to resolve a solution.
