2015 FORD TRANSIT Complaints

Failure and stall occurred 8-9-21. Throttle body internal fault. A Ford dealer in Aurora, Colorado diagnosed, has the vehicle, and the defective part. I don't know if they will hold on to it for inspection. My vehicle stalled while driving on a busy road and lost power. The warning message said something to the effect of "terminal engine failure, requires service" I was lucky enough to get my vehicle to the side of the road in heavy traffic, but it was stalled in a precarious spot and the vehicle did in fact get hit while I waited for the tow truck. I was worried for my safety, so I was waiting off of the road about 15 feet from my vehicle rather than in it. This is a potentially life-threatening issue. Had I been on a highway in heavy traffic, this could have caused a major accident. This appears to be a common issue, so I am not sure why it has no recall at this time. In my opinion, it needs one for the safety of the vehicle owners and those around them in traffic.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Transit Connect. The contact stated while having the vehicle repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V376000 (Power Train) and 20V331000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages) the dealer failed to remedy the recalls without charge. The manufacturer was informed of the issue and informed the contact to speak to the dealer about reimbursement. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Rear glass on liftgate spontaneously exploded. No apparent cause. Glass shards were showered inside the cabin and the rear of the vehicle. This seems to be an issue with the Transit Connect and other Ford models. NHTSA is aware of the problem.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 FORD TRANSIT 250 3.5 ON THE INTERSTATE THE VAN LOST POWER AND NEARLY GOT MY KILLED WHILE TRYING TO NAVIGATE OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT POWER. THE THROTTLE BODY CODE WAS THROWN ON THE CPU, AND I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THESE NEED TO BE REPLACED WAY MORE THAN NORMAL WITH THESE FORDS. IT'S A HAZARD TO SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN WITHOUT WARNING! AND THE REPLACEMENT PART IS STILL FAULTY. THE THROTTLE BODIES NEED TO BE RECALLED.
