The car stalled without warning while driving in heavy fast traffic which nearly caused a accident. It turns out that the recall Ford program [XXX] that addressed this issue was not performed by the dealership (even when it was serviced repeatedly at dealer) as they did not have the parts. Now Ford claims they will not fix the issue as the program expired months ago. Former ford stock owner (never again).

This vehicle (along with a few others) went to Preston Ford West in Randallstown, MD for recall 19S38/19V767. The recall specifically states, "RESULTING IN DRIVELINE NOISE AND VIBRATION." Once one of the other vans were picked up from the dealer, we experienced this issue at about 40mph. Our normal mechanic told us that it had a failing driveshaft. When the 3rd vehicle experience the problem (this van), I took it back to the dealer, who claimed that a bent rim was the issue. After the bent rim was fixed, I drove it & experienced the same vibrations from when it went in originally. After arguing with the staff & waiting 3 months, I am being billed for a new axle. Then our normal mechanic had to replace the wheel hub due to poor work done by the dealer. I opened a case with Ford Motor Company ([XXX]) but Ford is actually like there is nothing that they can do. I have spent almost $4k due to this recall & the Ford dealership's lack of knowledge of the products that they sell Attached is just one of the 2 Ford invoices & does not include the repair by our competent independent mechanic (any vehicles vehicles that our mechanic fixed run smoothly) Also attempted to call NHSTA with this info, but the rep was more interested in talking over me that allowed her to do nothing than helping to resolve a solution.

Sliding side door on passenger side of van breaks free from the detente designed to hold it in the open position causing it to violently and suddenly close if the van is parked on a grade. The safety of others is put at risk if passengers, particularly young children, are attempting to enter or exit the vehicle. The problem was reproduced and confirmed by the dealer's service department. The service representative said the dealer was not equipped to handle the problem. The vehicle or defective component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance representative. There are no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem. The issue surfaced a number of months ago.

Hi, I’ve been getting water into my engine air filter box. I did some research and a lot of customers are having the same problem. Is there a fix for this..

Vehicle has an open recall for flexible coupling from the transmission to the drive shaft. This broke and damaged the fuel line, broke the brake lines and damage some other components. Took it to the Webb Ford in Highland IN and they informed me they will cover just the flexible connector and not the other damage caused by the failure, stating they send a lot of recall notices to the previous owner. Cost for the repairs are aprox $3,100. Since the failed coupling caused the damage, why i am asked to pay for the repairs caused by the recall component. I am a new owner of the vehicle and never received any notices from Ford. Thank you

While driving van displayed "engine fault service now" and lost all power in the middle of the road. I was able to pull over turn it off and back on and is running. This is happened to nearly our whole fleet of Ford Transits. I have put in a claim with Ford, as this is an extremely dangerous safety issue. It is causing my employees to feel like we are providing unsafe transportation, it is causing lost revenue due to vehicles being out of service and it is a potential insurance claim/workers comp issue. Ford needs to take action.
