2015 Ford Transit complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD TRANSIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A SEVERE VIBRATION. THE DEALER LASCO FORD (2525 OVEN RD, FENTON, MI) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THE VEHICLE HAD AN ABNORMAL SHAKE AND THE FAILURE WAS INHERENT TO THAT MODEL. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE DRIVE SHAFT COUPLING WAS REPLACED AT IMLAY CITY FORD (1788 S CEDAR ST, IMLAY CITY, MI). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INHERENT WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,000.

ON AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO A HIGHWAY I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION FOLLOWED BY WHAT SOUNDED LIKE HEAVY RAIN. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED THAT SMALL FLIP-OUT WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE CARGO DOOR HAD SHATTERED INTO A MILLION PIECES THAT WERE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE THAT THIS DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY ANYTHING HITTING IT. FOR THIS REASON MY THEORY IS THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY SOME INTERNAL STRESS CAUSED BY THE DESIGN OR MATERIAL. I WAS THANKFUL THAT THERE WERE NO PASSENGERS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN INJURED BY THE FLYING GLASS. ALTHOUGH I AM STILL COVERED UNDER MY NEW VEHICLE 3 YEAR / 36,000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, FORD HAS REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT OR PAY TO REPLACE THIS WINDOW. ALTHOUGH IT IS JUST ABOUT 12"SQUARE, THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $970 TO REPLACE IT.

WATER LEAK BETWEEN PASSENGER DOOR AND PASSENGER REAR DOOR (DOBLE DOOR)

OUR TRANSIT VAN HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH SEVERE VIBRATION IN THE DRIVELINE SINCE ABOUT 25,000 MILES. OUR VAN IS SUBJECT TO RECALL 17S15. WE HAVE HAD THE "TEMPORARY FIX," (THE DRIVELINE FLEXIBLE COUPLING REPLACED) ON OUR VAN TWO TIMES AT YORK'S FORD IN HOULTON, MAINE: JULY 21, 2017 (MILEAGE 28,066) AND AGAIN ON OCTOBER 11, 2017 (MILEAGE 32,787) BUT IT HAS NOT FIXED THE SEVERE DRIVELINE VIBRATION. THE VIBRATION IS WORST AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (65-73 MPH), AND WHEN GOING UP A HILL OR WHEN ACCELERATING. IT IS SO LOUD THAT IT SHAKES THE WHOLE VAN, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO HEAR THE RADIO OR HAVE A CONVERSATION. THE SOUND IS A VERY LOW FREQUENCY HUM, LIKE PUTTING YOUR HEAD INSIDE A SUBWOOFER. I WORRY THAT THE VIBRATION IS ALSO DAMAGING OTHER COMPONENTS, SUCH AS THE OUTPUT SHAFT BEARINGS IN THE TRANSMISSION, AND POSSIBLY THE ENGINE. ON NOVEMBER 7, 2017 I TOOK THE VAN TO A FORD DEALER IN INDIANA TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIX THE VIBRATION PROBLEM. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE CARRIER BEARING HOLDING THE DRIVESHAFT WAS LOOSE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET FORD TO OKAY THE REPAIR. I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE VAN EXCEPT FOR ESSENTIAL TRAVEL BECAUSE OF THE VIBRATION PROBLEM. FROM WHAT I HAVE GATHERED READING THE FORD TRANSIT USA FORUM, A PERMANENT FIX, INCLUDING A NEW DRIVESHAFT, UNIVERSAL JOINT, AND TRANSMISSION OUTPUT YOKE, HAS BEEN INSTALLED ON MANY OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES, BUT FOR SOME REASON FORD WILL NOT DO IT ON MINE. CAN YOU HELP?

WE PURCHASED 14 FORD TRANSIT VANS FROM THE U.S. FOUR OF THE 14 ARE NOT IN DRIVING CONDITION NOW DUE TO A PROBLEM LOSING SPEED [MORE DETAILS FOR EACH VEHICLE ARE NEEDED]. THE FAULT IN ALL OF THEM SHOWS CODE P2111. THE VINS ARE: [XXX] BROKEN IN JAN/FEB 2017 WITH LESS THAN 4500KM; [XXX] BROKEN IN MARCH 2017 WITH LESS THAN 5200KM ; [XXX] BROKEN IN AUGUST 2017 WITH LESS THAN 3000KM ; [XXX] BROKEN IN NOVEMBER 2017 WITH LESS THAN 4600KM. AT THIS RATE, WE EXPECT THAT OUR ENTIRE FLEET OF LARGE VANS WHICH ARE FORD TRANSITS TO BE INOPERABLE. WE HAVE RECEIVED THE SERVICE FROM ONE OF LOCAL TRANSIT DEALERS [XXX] , BUT IT SEEMED THE PROBLEM IS NOT INCLUDED IN "RECALL NOTICE" FROM FORD . WE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ALL ASSISTANCE IN REPAIRING OR REPLACING THESE VEHICLES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

SLIDING DOOR ALERT KEEPS GOING OFF. POSSIBLE SENSOR OR LATCH DEFECT. HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING OVER DIPS, BUMPS AND WHILE BRAKING. UNABLE TO READ DASH SYSTEM PANEL WHILE ALERT IS ON. POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE, AS CANNOT SEE OTHER ALERTS WHILE THIS ONE IS ON, AS IT REMAINS ON THE ENTIRE TIME I'M DRIVING AND IS A DISTRACTION. POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON FUEL SYSTEM SENSOR ISSUES. AFTER PUTTING FUEL IN VEHICLE IT HAS TROUBLE RESTARTING, CAUSING ME TO FUEL VEHICLE WHILE STARTED TO REMEDY THIS. POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD, COULD CAUSE VEHICLE TO CATCH FIRE RESULTING IN EXPLOSION/DEATH.

THE DRIVE SHAFT THE RECALL HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR OVER A YEAR. FORD STILL HAS NO FIX I'M TRYING TO SELL THE VEHICLE AND IT'S NOT FAIR FOR FORD NOT TO HAVE S FIX

I AM A NHTSA REGION 10 OFFICE EMPLOYEE. I RENTED A 2015 FORD TRANSIT VAN, LICENSE PLATE #[XXX], FROM ZIPCAR ON 7/25/17 FOR THE ENTIRE DAY FOR A WORK RELATED EVENT. A FELLOW NHTSA STAFF PERSON RAN A VIN CHECK ON THE VEHICLE BY PHONE AND DETERMINED THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL ON THE VAN. UNFORTUNATELY, I DID NOT WRITE DOWN THE VIN# OF THE SPECIFIC VEHICLE BUT WAS PROVIDED ASSISTANCE FROM NHTSA STAFF TO IDENTIFY THE # AS [XXX] (SEE THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT PROVIDE TO ME BY NHTSA STAFF PERSON, [XXX]). I THEN CONTACTED ZIPCAR AND PUT IN A REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE, SPENDING TIME ON THE PHONE WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENTS, FIRST A PERSON APPARENTLY BASED IN MEXICO, THEN ANOTHER BASED IN BOSTON. THE LAST PERSON WOULD NOT PROVIDE ME THE NAME OR CONTACT INFORMATION FOR ANY "LOCAL FLEET TEAM" MANAGER THAT WOULD LIKELY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR/MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE IN SEATTLE. I DID SPEAK WITH [XXX] (BATCH #[XXX]; HE WOULD NOT PROVIDE ME HIS LAST NAME, BUT GAVE ME HIS BATCH #...AN EMPLOYEE ID#). I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY ANY OTHER ZIPCAR REPRESENTATIVES SINCE. I AM CONCERNED THAT ON THE DATE I RENTED THE VEHICLE THERE WERE OPEN, UNMITIGATED RECALLS OF WHICH I WAS NOT MADE AWARE BY ZIPCAR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT CHAPMAN FORD WE PROVIDED THE VIN NUMBER OF OUR VEHICLE AND THE CAMPAIGN NUMBER AND THEY TOLD US THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. FOR THE CAMPAIGN WE WERE REFERRING TO, THEY TOLD US THE PART WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED WHICH WOULD TAKE 3 WEEKS. WE SUBSEQUENTLY CALLED ANOTHER DEALER WHO TOLD US THEY COULD DO THE TEMPORARY REPAIR THE NEXT DAY. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT CHAPMAN FORD WAS TRYING TO AVOID DOING THE TEMPORARY REPAIR. THE VEHICLE IS OVER 30K MILES AND ACCORDING TO THE RECALL SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL THE TEMPORARY REPAIR IS DONE, HENCE THE URGENT NEED FOR THE TEMP REPAIR TO BE DONE TIMELY.

LOCAL FORD DEALER STILL DOES NOT HAVE PART REQUIRED FOR SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 17S15 REGARDING CRACKED FLEXIBLE DRIVEWAY COUPLING. THE SAFETY RECALL THAT WENT OUT IN JULY STATED THAT "PARTS FOR THE INTERIM REPAIR ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE" YET I HAVE BEEN TOLD ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS BY THE PELLETIER FORD SERVICE MANAGER THAT PARTS HAVE NOT ARRIVED.

OUR DRIVER WAS DRIVING ON THE BELTWAY WHEN HIS BRAKES LOCKED UP ON HIM. WE DROPPED IF OFF TO THE SHOP TO HAVE A LOOK AND FOUND THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER WAS FAULTY. SINCE WE WERE UNABLE TO GET THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER ( THE TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY). WE HAD THE SHOP REPLACE THE FAULTY CALIPER. SO WE COULD GET THE TRUCK BACK ON THE ROAD. NOW I NEED TO KNOW WHY THIS IS NOT A RECALL "BRAKES" ARE CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE! AND HOW DO I GO ABOUT TRYING TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE CHARGES FOR THIS?
