Campaign/NHTSA# 24S21/24V226 No remedy provided by Ford; Issue Date 2024-03-22 Campaign/NHTSA# 24S46/24V542 AND Campaign/NHTSA# 24S48/24V591 Ford notified me that the recall is ready for repair, however the parts are not available; my dealer has been waiting for 4 weeks now to receive the parts

August 2024: Vehicle started to grab/pull when breaking and turning to the right, especially around curves. This progressed to happening when the van weight shifted forward during breaking. Dealerships in Eugene, Oregon and Marin, CA confirmed this behavior is related to the wheel clearance. Dealership in Eugene confirmed damage to the wheel well liner. I was unable to get any support from Ford regarding a loaner or assistance getting my van home 900+ miles. September 2024: loaded excess weight into the rear of the van and drove slowly back to Southern California. For safety purposes, dealership advised “parking the van until Ford comes up with something.” I have been unable to use the van since, with no updates from Ford. There have been four recalls (the rear view camera is fixed) and at least one Customer Satisfaction service (software update for the transmission performed in Eugene). Van has less than 5,000 and was purchased in March 2024.

Power train malfunction and loss of power in vehicle may cause accident due to sudden loss of speed. Vehicle makes noises and kicks when accelerating. Turbo doesn’t work properly and hesitates when engaging. The wrench light comes and goes off when turning the car back on. Vehicle often looses power while driving either due to the turbo or the power train. May cause accidents, we have had to pull over because of the power loss and for the pulling/kicking of the car.
