3/11/2021, took Transit to dealer on March 9, 2021, ,, for humming coming from radio when turned on, for recall on drive shaft coupling. And additional noise when driving on expressway over 60 mph plus... goes away when letting off the accelerator and exiting expressway. Dealer had vehicle since 3/9/2021. Told me today they fixed the drive shaft coupling, then they came up with issue on front tires and had to rotate them.. only 24K on vehicle since new... now new issue about some sort of rattle with the front end... etc..and that car pulls to right" and that they cannot fix problem as of today, ,, working with Ford, , looks liike they want to keep vehicle....until ?? fixed??? according to google, ,, looking up front end problems with 2016 / 250 Ford Transit cargo van... lots of issues there from other Transit owners. Same issue.. possible issue related to same front end problems... when Ford ships the Transit to dealers, ,,assume that vehicle is being tied dowm to delivery carrier flat bed auto carrier, ,, in nose down position and with extream tie downs... that when the carrier his the highway, and the vehicles start bouncing, and all the weight is on the front end... causing all this damage... front end alignment cannot fix it... some are saying that the ** subframe** is bent out of alignment.... looks like possible limine time??" time to recall all Transit's again for this issue. Also like to bring to your attention about the exhaust tail pipe comes out short from the end of the bumper ( several feet, ,,) and should come all the way to the end of the vehicle and or to area behind the rear wheel and even with the side of the vehicle to keep exhaust fumes away from getting inside the vehicle....

2016 Ford Transit 350hd 144"wheelbase with the extended length, high roof, dual rear wheels. Took possession of van on 05-25-17 with 350 miles. Had a vibration in the steering wheel which started around 40 mph and got more intense the faster you drove. Took it to have the front wheel balance checked and each wheel has +2 oz (06-08-17 1025 miles) the wheel balance fixed the steering wheel vibration problem. Then I noticed unsafe handling characteristics, unsafe swaying and possible loss of control when affected by the smallest amount of wind, passing larger vehicles and road conditions. Not safe to drive over 55 mph on the highway due to excessive swaying that could lead to loss of control. Had Ford dealer confirm that there is no mechanical problem. It is not a intermittent problem but rather a problem that occurs every time it is driven in the above conditions. It is a problem that became evident right after taking possession of the vehicle and fixing the wheel balance issue.

Unsafe handling characteristics 2016 Ford Transit T350 144"wheelbase with the extended length, high roof, single rear wheel. Unsafe swaying and possible loss of control when affected by high winds, passing trucks or uneven road conditions. Not safe to drive over 55 mph on the highway due to excessive swaying that could lead to loss of control. Had Ford dealer confirm that there is no mechanical problem and that it was performing as designed. Ford engineers have no fix available at this time. It is not a intermittent problem but rather a problem that occurs every time it is driven in the above conditions. It is a problem that became evident right after taking possession of the vehicle (it did not develop or worsen with time but rather seems to be a design flaw).
