2015 FORD TRANSIT Complaints

WAL-MART ALPHARETTA, GA INSTALLED THE WRONG TIRES ON THE FRONT OF MY 2015 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT IN AUGUST 2017. STARKE, FL WAL-MART COULD NOT BALANCE THE TIRES DUE TO WRONG LOAD LIMIT HAVING BEEN INSTALLED, BUBBLE ON DRIVER'S SIDE THAT COULD BLOW AT ANY MINUTE & TIRES HAVING BEEN COUNTER-BALANCED WHEN INSTALLED. I HAVE CONTACTED ALPHARETTA WAL-MART, PROVIDED ALL NEEDED INFO, ASKED THAT THEY MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH STARKE, FL WAL-MART TO INSTALL 2 NEW PROPER LOAD TIRES AT NO COST TO ME. ASSISTANT MANAGER TONY WAS TO CONTACT ME THE FOLLOWING DAY AFTER WAL-MART WAS ADVISED OF THE PROBLEM. I ATTEMPTED 3 TIMES TO FAX THE INFO BUT THEIR FAX MACHINE WOULD NOT WORK. I MAILED ALL DOCUMENTATION TO ASSURE THEIR NOTIFICATION. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM ANYONE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS, THIS WILL IMMEDIATELY BECOME A MUCH LARGER PROBLEM THAN IT IS NOW. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO MAKE WAL-MART CORRECT THIS PROBLEM RIGHT AWAY.

THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY DEVELOPED HESITATION TO START ONE DAY AS IF IT WASN'T GETTING ENOUGH FUEL OR AIR. IT DID START AND I DROVE HOME FROM WORK. I PLANNED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT BUT THE NEXT DAY BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I ATTEMPTED TO JUMP-START BUT THE BATTERY WAS AT FULL VOLTAGE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR. I WAS INFORMED THE NEXT DAY BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT THERE WAS A TSB ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY WAS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $850 PLUS TAX. APPARENTLY THE CABIN AIR FILTER IS NOT PROPERLY WEATHER SEALED AND UNDER NORMAL USE WATER WILL MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE FILTER, AND INTO THE MASS AIR SENSOR. FORD HAS MADE NEW REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT BECAUSE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BY A FEW MONTHS, I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE BILL. HAD THE PART GIVEN OUT WHILE DRIVING (ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS) THE ENGINE WOULD SEIZE AND COULD HAVE LIKELY CAUSED A CRASH.

ENGINE WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING AND DOESN'T WANT TO START THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES ONCE WHILE DRIVING. THIRD TIME IT HAD TO TOWED AWAY . LOOKS LIKE FUEL NOT GETTING TO THE ENGINE OR PROBLEM WITH FUEL SYSTEM
