2020 FORD TRANSIT Complaints

PURCHASED NEW AWD AND NOTICED VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE WHEEL WELL COVERS, I PURCHASED THE AWD BECAUSE I LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD AND WANT TO TAKE OUT ON UNPAVED ROADS, I'VE NOTICED THE AREA HAS COLLECTED LARGE AMOUNTS OF DIRT AND ROCKS. IF I'M DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY A BIG CHUCK COULD FLY OUT AND POSSIBLY DAMAGE CARS BEHIND ME, AND ALSO CASE CONTAINING SEVERAL WIRES IS LOCATED IN THIS SPOT. I'VE CLEANED THIS AREA AND DIRT AND ROCKS CONSTANTLY COLLECTS IN THIS SPOT, I SPENT WELL OVER $50,000 ON THIS VEHICLE, FEEL VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED ON AN ALL WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE

WHEN STARTING THE CAR, I HEAR POPPING NOISES SOUNDING LIKE A SPARK PLUG AND OR A TAP/POP NOISE. I HEAR THE NOISE EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS DURING STARTUP, DRIVING, AND AT IDLE.

2020 FORD TRANSIT HIGH ROOF.UPON STARTING VAN 'STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED'MESSAGE CAME UP.STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT.WAITING ABOUT 5 MINUTES MESSAGE WAS GONE.VEHICLE WITH ONLY 11K MILES

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH IN NO TRAFFIC, WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THE CRASH BREAKING NOT AVAILABLE. APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES LATER THE VEHICLE STALLED. WE HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART IT THERE. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS A BUG ON THE SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT BACK TO US AND NOW IT IS DEAD AGAIN AND WON'T START. THE VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW AND THE STALL OCCURRED ON OUR FIRST OUTING. IT WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER.

KEYS ARE BREAKING OFF FROM THE ACTUAL REMOTE CAUSING THE DRIVER TO BE STUCK WITHOUT A WAY TO START THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AT LEAST 5 OTHER VANS AS WELL AND OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS THAT DELIVER AMAZON PACKAGES. THERE ARE WELL OVER 20 TO 30 VANS THAT THIS IS ALSO HAPPENING TO.

SINCE PURCHASING THE VAN, THE STEERING WHEEL HAS OCCASIONALLY FELT SLUGGISH AND HEAVIER TO TURN AT CERTAIN TIMES THAN OTHERS. THE FINAL TIME IT WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN AND FELT ALMOST LOCKED, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE STARTING THE ENGINE AT RANDOM TIMES AND IMPEDES DRIVING AND OVERALL SAFETY AS IT SEEMS TO COME AND GO AS AN ISSUE. THIS HAS OCCURRED BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE IN MOTION.

UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY A STEERING ASSIST WARNING SHOWED IN THE VEHICLE INFORMATION AREA. IT WAS STATIONARY. THE POWER STEERING DID NOT FUNCTION AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. NEXT DAY STARTED VEHICLE WITHOUT STEERING ASSIST WARNING APPEARING AND THE POWER STEERING WAS APPARENTLY WORKING AGAIN. MOVED VEHICLE TO THE STREET SO IT CAN MORE EASILY BE DRIVEN TO THE MECHANIC IF PROBLEM RE-OCCURS. THE VEHICLE IS UNRELIABLE WITH THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM AND HAS TO SIT IDLE AND UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS RECTIFIED.

VAN WAS STATIONARY ON STREET AND FAILED TO START TWO TIMES, BATTERY WAS FULLY CHARGED.

AT 565 MILES I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ONE OF MY VALVE STEMS STARTED RAPIDLY LEAKING AIR. AT 11,400 MILES, ANOTHER VALVE STEM STARTED LEAKING RAPIDLY AFTER STOPPING FOR GAS ON A TRIP. ALUMINUM WHEELS, NEVER TOUCHED ANYTHING WITH THEM. WHEN WILL THE REMAINING ONES FAIL?
