This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
When driving my transit 250 it vibrates a lot and I was told that the transmission is going out. After I researched I find that this is a common problem with this Ford vehicle. It cost about $4000 to fit and Ford is not helping customers with their vehicle. Why is there no recall on this problem?
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Transit. The contact stated while her husband was driving 70 mph, the vehicle loss motive power and shuddered and jerked without warning. The driver pulled over to the side of the roadway and had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The driver was informed that the failure might be due to an unidentified ECM failure. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact retrieved the vehicle however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to mullinax Ford of new smyrna beach (2317 fl-44, new smyrna beach, fl 32168, (386) 267-4980) and the ECM module was replaced. The contact was concerned that the failure could recur due to water leaking into the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000.
Vehicle will randomly shift into first gear typically while going down hill on interstate at speeds of 70 mph or greater. The resulting shift causes the engine to rev far past red line and causes severe unintended deceleration. Situation happens without warning and after a few more harsh shifts goes back to normal. Contacted multiple Ford dealers with no answer to problem.
