2017 FORD TRANSIT Unknown Or Other Problems

I am submitting this complaint to report a real‑world safety failure related to Ford Recall 19S38 involving a 2017 Ford Transit 350. The vehicle was purchased in 2021 from a Ford dealership, Joe Rizza Ford, with approximately 60,000 miles. At the time of purchase, Recall 19S38 was open on the vehicle and had not been completed. We were not informed of the open safety recall at the time of sale, and the recall repair was not performed prior to delivery. The vehicle was maintained responsibly using qualified, independent repair facilities. We were never advised by Ford or the selling dealership that the vehicle had an open safety recall. Two days prior to the incident, the vehicle was inspected by a professional repair shop due to a rattling noise. The shop test‑drove the vehicle, performed an inspection, and was unable to identify the source of the noise or any unsafe condition....

Vehicle has been Altered/modified. Vehicle has been altered to be a 7 passenger. The vehicle has been prepared for inspection but needs to be cleared by NHTSA to allow the changes that were made by the modifier to be accepted by NHTSA. Please help me with this, thank you

Will the recall be applied to 2017 Ford Transit 250 Vans with the same issue? We had this issue in October 2022, it was repaired at Freehold Ford, NJ. The vehicle was still under warranty then, but it is happening again now. Thank you.

I am writing to formally report a critical safety failure involving Ford recall number 19S40 / NHTSA recall 19V767, which affects the driveshaft flexible coupling on my vehicle. While traveling with my wife and five children on a recent trip from Ludowici, GA to Fort Bragg, NC, our van suddenly experienced violent vibrations and loud moaning sounds, forcing us to stop in South Carolina where no nearby Ford service center was available. We were stranded and faced not only travel disruption, but real danger with children in the vehicle. Upon inspection, the flexible coupling failed catastrophically, causing driveshaft damage and rendering the vehicle unsafe to drive. This exact failure is the subject of the ongoing recall, and it is unacceptable that such a well-documented and acknowledged issue is continuing to place families at risk. I am requesting the following: 1. Immediate authorization and support for full repair of the driveshaft...

We currently have a vehicle fleet of 40+ vehicles. Within the last two months, we have had to replace FOUR evaporator coils assemblies. I believe this is an indication of a factory issue that was never caught.

Vehicle rear camera has failed for the second time. Had it inspected at dealer and was told it was corrosion of wires, same as first time. Transit forums show it's a common problem. I don't want to back into/over anyone or run into something like my boat trailer which I did when it failed backing up and now have a large dent in the left rear door. Wire harness cost quoted at $450. There is obviously an issue. Thank you.

Hello, our Ford Transit Family van has been under the recalls: 19S38 and 19V-767. Hello, our Ford Transit Family van has been under the recalls: 19S38 and 19V-767. We have been on touch with multiple dealerships who are unable to repair the issue due to (as they say) lack of parts. We have been waiting since October. The issue says we should stop driving our car yet for our family of seven it’s the only vehicle and there seems to be little accountability on the side of Ford. Where could we make this noted? Thank you in advance and have a great day. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The vehicle experienced a breakdown due to the drive train coupler failed, a part that has an active recall notice (Ford 19S38 ) (NHTSA Safety recall 17V-408) and the failure of the recalled part caused significant damage to other mechanical parts of the vehicle. The Manufacturer has agreed to pay for the recalled part but not the peripheral damaged parts. The damage is significant. The day of the incident, I received a recall notice from the manufacturer in the mail. The recall notice is dated October 2023. The manufacturer should be liable for the recalled part as well as the peripheral damaged that it caused.

Van experiences loud harmonic vibration that occurs from about 40-55 mph. The vibrations remained after all tires and wheels have been replaced and balanced. This "loud cycling hum" can be heard over radio and talking. Faster speeds it does subside above 60mph which encourages speeding to not have the noise throughout the interior of the van. This is an on going issue that has been noticed since purchase in Dec of 2018.

WHILE ACCELERATING ON TO A HIGHWAY MY GAS PEDAL BROKE LEAVING ME IN DANGER OF A VEHICLE COLLIDING INTO THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. THE PEDAL IS MADE OF PLASTIC.

THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND NAVAGATION/RADIO SYSTEM WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE DOOR SWITCH IS FAULTY ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED AT THE VALENCIA FINAL ASSEMBLY PLANT. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR OTHER FORD TRANSIT VEHICLES FOR FAILING DOOR SWITCHES. I AM CONCERNED FOR SIMULAR FAILURES WITH THE DOOR SWITCH ALLOWING THE DOOR TO OPEN AND ALSO A POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL FIRE CAUSED BY THE MALFUNCTIONING NAVIGATION/RADIO AND INTERIOR LIGHTING SYSTEM NOT TURNING OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME OUR GAS PEDAL HAS SNAPPED AND BROKE OFF WHEN TAKING OFF/ ACCELERATING. IT HAS ALSO SEEMED TO DEVELOP SOME SORT OF STUTTER/BOG/HESITATION THAT SEEMS TO BE LINKED WITH THE COMMUNICATION FROM THE GAS PEDAL TO THE COMPUTER. SOMETIMES WE WILL GO AHEAD AND PULL ON OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND ACCELERATE TO GET UP TO SPEED AND THE VAN WILL BASICALLY FEEL LIKE IT'S STUTTERING/ HESITATING AND WE GIVE IT FURTHER THROTTLE WITH THE GAS PEDDLE, THEN IT WILL FINALLY ENGAGE AND SEEMS TO DROP DOWN SEVERAL GEARS AND SLAM/THRUST FORWARD. WE HAVE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER MOUNTAIN VIEW FORD OF CHATTANOOGA TN AND THEY HAVE YET TO CORRECT OR REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. OUR VAN IS STILL COVERED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. WE HAVE HAD TO SOURCE THE REPLACEMENT PART FROM A JUNK YARD BOTH TIMES IN ORDER TO USE OUR VEHICLE WHICH HAD TO BE...

I WORK FOR NESTLE AND WE HAVE A 2107 FORD TRANSIT VAN. FIRST THE VAN SAID TO REPLACE EXHAUST FILTER EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BRAND NEW. THE SMELL COMING FROM THE VENTS WAS SO POWERFUL THEY MADE ME NAUSEATE AND LIGHT HEADED. THE SMELL WAS SO STRING IT STUCK ONTO MY CLOTHES. TIL THIS DAY THEY STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE OR FIX THE PROBLEM. BUT NOW READING THAT OTHER VEHICLES HAD THE SAME ISSUE I KNOW NOW THAT I'M NOT CRAZY OR MAKING THIS UP.
